Twitter: Dak: "My confidence is through the roof"

It's an obvious thing to say, but odd to point out about yourself. Shrug.

I just wish one of these years that the talk of all these players would result in better playoff success. Seems like every year we hear the same thing.

Yep but certain positions in pro sports demand that kind of statement.

He is more than just a little aware that he is not the favorite of quite a few fans.

I think he is also aware of the thinking that he's not a risk taker like some of the others and plays it a little more safe in ball protection.

I do wonder with him how much concern for making a mistake plays into it. No QB catches hell for that like the DC QB, just ask Romo. It is the QB hot seat in the NFL.

I think with most of these guys, there are two QB's. The one they show us and the one they keep inside.

I think they know that is expected of them by the guy that signs their checks. Everybody's got to be in step.

We'll see.

Not easy when the refs screw us with 14 penalties in a home playoff game.

A lot to overcome for any QB.

Oh, plus a RB we’re paying a ton who puts up 12-31 in that same playoff game.

Not really.

When you had the injury he had, he probably knew he had pain and other issues with his leg that he thought would just be the new norm for him. So he didn't know it would feel as good as it does now.

When you are dragging your leg, it is hard to be confident in abundance.

 

[Acceptablename]

As it should. Why would anybody resent or begrudge Dak’s comment?

It all comes down to BOTH our Oline and Dline's performance during the playoffs.

 

[Doomsday101]

Considering he was rehabbing from a compound fracture and a dislocation of the ankle I would hope he much further along than he was at this time last year.

Ok good point … maybe he was unsure of himself last year? I just found it odd.

 

[Diehardblues]

I certainly hope he is further along than last year. That was one of the most gruesome injuries in NFL history.

Walk the walk before you talk the talk.

As most quotes from players seem to be, it's probably an answer to a direct question.

 

[Swagger]

We'll see.

Quite. I have seen this movie before. His play got worse as the season wore on which is a worry.

 

[Diehardblues]

Yea but that the Cowboys way under this dysfunctional ownership. Hype and promote.

Get back in there and sell, sell, sell

I don’t follow other NFL teams much.Do their players, coaches and owner hype their team and themselves up in similar ways?
