Twitter: Dak, our franchise leader, speaks about rehab while giving support and advice

[Runwildboys]

It recently occurred to me that there was something about the way Dak talks that sounds.. I don't know what the word is.. at least I didn't until it came to me a few days ago. I call it "speech voice." Everything he says sounds like a politician on the stump or an officer about to send his men into battle. The delivery, the inflection, all of it. I'm not assigning a negative or a positive value to it.. but it's just an observation I have made and I was finally able to put my finger on it literally within the last week. It's probably why guys gravitate to him.. 200 years ago Dak would have been the guy leading the charge into battle somewhere.. And probably would have been one of the first to get kilt! Okay.. that was morbid. I love Dak and have every confidence that he's going to make it all the way back and pick up where he left off this season. They say that one of the keys to slowing down the passage of time is having something to look forward to. As kids it's Christmas or summer break.. As young adults it's the next date with the girl (or guy) of our dreams at that moment.. As athletes it's game day.. and as fans.. it's the next game.. or in a season like this one.. the next season.. The 2020 season can't get over and the 2021 season can't get here fast enough for yours truly.. Time will move VERY slowly over the next 9 months..

Reminds me of Corporal Dawson, from A Few Good Men.

Like him or not as our qb no one can deny his leadership or how he rallies guys around him. His intangibles are off the charts. No one can deny this.

So is his win loss record (notwithstanding a million yards for nothing).

I doubt most of those guys did not sit on the bench hoping for an injury to the starter, they were probably starters growing up. Hey, he said it, don't deflect what "he" said, if anything it's an odd take from him, a confession without not even knowing it. He was never that good growing up.

Tom Brady literally had the same path as Dak except he wasn't nearly the college football player Dak was lol......

True. I just wish his skillset will match his intangibles but that might come or not.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Should have left those out...But he brings up a good point. Why is he always needing a injury or something to be starter. We all know his talent wasn’t very good coming out of college he was a late round draft pick. Brings the question. Is it better to be lucky or good. I. Daks case I’d say lucky..

So I list examples of players who have had the same exact path as Dak.....yet you ask that same silly question again huh lol? There is no good point about it. There is nothing "lucky" or foreign about Dak's path. You think Mississippi State brought him to be a career backup for them? They always had intentions for him to eventually be their starter I don't know what you guys are talking about.

It says something when he "takes" these guys spots and never gives it back........him sitting behind Romo and Kellen Moore says more about the Cowboys then it does him. The same team that valued Paxton Lynch.

Let's revisit this when Dak wins multiple SB's. (as if he can at least win a few or more playoff games, which he has not).

This is a strange take given that Dak was drafted as a project to EVENTUALLY replace Romo. Year one or year three, at some point Dak was going to be given the reigns to this team or at least the opportunity to earn it. As for why Dak has always been the guy behind the starters.. I'm sure you already know the answer to that. One, Dak is not a "pretty" QB.. He's built different than most guys as the position and he delivers the ball differently. Some idiot "experts" and "fans" get too caught up in how it looks and don't focus enough on the end result. The second reason is that Dak apparently is not a great practice player.. He's just one of those guys who needs to have the lights on to perform at his best. There is no explanation for why some guys are like that, but it's absolutely a real thing. Once the ish gets real they just find a different gear. Dak is such a guy. Even this year there were reports that Dalton was outperforming him in practice.. which had the Dak haters all aflutter. Then the season started and Dak started breaking records.. so that bunch had to start rooting for us to lose or for Dak to get hurt so they could see their hero, who in their estimation is a "real QB" and who would pilot the offense to even greater heights.. Well they got two out of three right.. We ARE losing and Dak IS hurt.. as for that last one.. well.. you know.. You can't have everything..

From just a QB standpoint Dak isn’t much of a prospect size maybe speed meh...arm blah. He definitely is a gamer and very tough. But he just isn’t a great prospect and his ceiling as a QB Has just about
been hit. He doesn’t make all the throws and lately he misses the really easy ones. He tried to hard to fit the ball into small windows for the sake of proving he has a elite arm...he’s a good player. And if we get Lawrence a solid stop gap QB.

Wow, so now you are a mind reader? You can read the minds of "they". The greatness just oozes from your brain.

Well, we won't be getting Lawrence, so get ready for 3000 yards a game and a L in the win column.

That's not correct, though. He was ALWAYS that good growing up.. Every team he took over got better the instant he did. Including the Cowboys. Miss State went from 100 years of college football irrelevance to being perceived as a top 10 program because of Dak and quickly returned to college football irrelevance once he left. You would think the coaches, whose job it is to know about guys who don't practice well but light it up real games would be able to better evaluate them.. but the mistake of underestimating Dak seems to have followed him his whole life.. I think he talks about it because it fuels him.. He uses it to stoke his own internal fire. It seems like it works for him.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Get well Dak...

Dak's my QB!

You keep Dak in fact take him home with you.....I'll take these guys any day of the week!

Romo wanted his job back but he was to beat to hell to get it back, and when Garret did let Romo have a series in the Eagle game, he led them down to a TD...something pass happy boy could barely do.

Who knows. But fields would be nice also.

Are you aware of how college football works? I'm not even being funny just asking a genuine question.....I say this because when you scout talent you don't scout them to come in and be a backup. He had offers from LSU, Memphis, Texas, etc......

Sigh......you didn't say crap about Super Bowls you brought up this dumb point about how he's had to earn his jobs as if that means he can't play. So yeah I don't want to hear about how many Super Bowls the team he plays for wins....Tom Brady didn't get Super Bowls playing for crappy Dallas either.

Haha....now you are hyping up a Romo touchdown in garbage time when no one cared about winning that game lol...hell the only reason he got in the game was because they sat Dak so he wouldn't get hurt lol....

No, I don't know how it works...I only went to the 7th grade. smh

Oh, they were worried that the great Dak would get hurt? But, I thought he was this indestructible tough guy. So, your saying they put Romo in so Superman would not get hurt? Got it. lmao

Carry on with your love fest, I'm done with this for awhile. There is nothing that Dak can do wrong in your mind so it like arguing with a statue.
