Twitter: Dak on opening the season against the Bucs and Bengals

[Carson]

LOL, he’s a company man through and through. He knows what to say just like Romo did

Spoken like the leader in a company where results don’t matter only talking does

Make your money young man, just don’t tell us to expect any SBs, we know better

He didn’t say anything no other staring QB/player would say.

 

[CouchCoach]

What would you expect from any QB?

He could have said what Mayfield said. Wouldn’t that be fun?

 

[zrinkill]

Same thing any QB in the league would say.

 

[jwooten15]

Dak has always been a great talker. So was Romo. Unfortunately, talking doesn't win games.

 

[plasticman]

These guys are professional athletes in a league where the average is around 3-4 years.

He won’t be nervous or overwhelmed. It’s what he has worked his whole life to do.

I think every NFL football player is a little nervous on opening day. I would think that would be especially true for a rookie starter playing in a nationally televised game against a team one year removed from being defending champions.

This isn't a bad thing, It should be expected. I agree with you that the major issue won't be physical, it will be mental. If I've been playing the piano for years but now I'm about to appear in public to a paying audience instead of high school and college events, I think I would be somewhat nervous.

I would expect an early penalty, perhaps even two but let's not roast the guy. I believe he is a very hard worker and will improve in that area. He's had some good mentors in training camp. He shouldn't be judged harshly if he makes some mistakes in the first half.

Smith may be nervous at first but he will be prepared. I think his pass blocking will be a little tenuous at first but that should clear up. In no way at all am I implying that he will be dominated. However, he will learn some lessons as he will throughout the first half of the season. It's all good. This guy is no Chaz Green or Phil Pozderac..

Why so cynical?
He what any player on any team would say.
Just string some clichés together, and you have your typical sports interview.

 

[stilltheguru]

Dak is a man of his word

“we will see y’all agin, TRUST ME”

And what do ya know, here we are

 

[Corso]

"We'll see you all again! Trust me!"

* Doesn't see them again.

Monster echoes of Romo a few years ago.
Chilling.

I’ve seen this story for 6 years on a loop

Try 20 years.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

He’s a leader and a winner.

You present yourself as "talk is cheap" kinda guy...then you post this. Does not compute.

Words are not a leader. Leading to a winning place....is. We've won nothing....possibly some individual stats? That is leading a team to anyting but some stats.

Leading us to...where, rockport? WHERE is he leading us?

So that is what a "leader" does? Say anything anyone else would say?

I am NOT anti dak. He does not HAVE to be a big special fearsome leader. He could just QB. But saying what anyone else would say is NOT "leadership". Leaders lead to....?

Don't what you're try'n to say, but I agree.

Well for one, he’s leading Zoners to make fools of themselves.

Oh and you don’t know the first thing about leadership. Obviously.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Oh and you don’t know the first thing about leadership. Obviously.

Oh I do....you shouldn't assume so much personal information that you have ZERO clue about.,

YOu apprenlty can lead to failure and clima yoruself a success.

Me? If I do not succeed leading the team to the goal...I consider myself a failure. That can be family, work, pickup basketball game...that's what a leader does. YOU...lead into death and failure?

If that's your bar and standard...fine. NOT mine. We'll have to agree to disagree about it...like "leaders".

I say again...Dak does NOT have to be the de facto acclaimed leader...because he is QB, says the right corporate/team line or buys new Nikes. NONE of that is being a leader.

We can win just fine without that. BUT...I do I HATE lying fake phony BS smoke blowing made up BS. You ....like it. Okay fine.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Well for one, he’s leading Zoners to make fools of themselves.

Well that settles it then. Thank you for showing me your requirements. That is GOOD work there. VERY hard to do!

 

[TNT]

What does his brother have to say, that’s the true question right?

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Don't what you're try'n to say, but I agree.

If you aint; sure what I am saying I do not want you to agree!

Mah point...is we all just been talking. And buying Nikes. We've been "led" to average boring failure. I can't say we've had ANY "leaders" in a long time.

We've had stat collectors. We've had excellent individuals. We've had people that buy the team new Nikes, pat them on the butts and SAY the "right" things.

"leading" us...to ...where?

I think one reason why some call this stuff out, is that even though this is a pretty typical answer you would expect from most QB's, Dak often gets called things like, "he's a leader and a winner" simply for spouting the predictable and typical BS like this.
