Dak was incredible

[Bullet22]

Misdirections, read-run options....deep ball....great game..

 

[rpntex]

What a game by Dak! His TD run turned the game around. His deep throws were excellent. He played like an All-Pro tonight. Coming off a tough game he showed everyone what he's made of. That's leadership.

Really proud of Dak tonight. He was having a really tough time early on...hurried and making really poor throws. It didn't help one bit that the Cardinals were stifling the running game, either. That TD drive before half seemed to boost his confidence and help him regain his poise. Then he came out of the locker room for the second half much more composed, and I believe his demeanor calmed down the entire offense.

Too early to tell, but could this have been a significant moment in his maturing as a QB. He put the team on his back, and it seemed like everyone started getting more confident.

I have complete confidence in Dak to be a franchise QB. I have minimal confidence in Linehan letting that happen if that makes sense.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Exactly; An ELITE qb makes that throw perfect for a walk in

Dak is not an elite qb

Goodnight lol. I'm not doing this after a W and a great performance by Dak......

I actually thought Carson Palmer played very well at times, made some tough throws. Don’t really think they could ask for more out of him. Especially with the pressure he was seeing.

He is what he is. He is an athlete playing quarterback, not a pocket passer. The runs, the read option, the bootlegs are all things he does well.

He doesn't handle pressure in the pocket well so it needs to be avoided. He threw the ball straight in the dirt in those situations. He is not accurate from the pocket.

Good for our system but the system has to shake it up some times.

I remember one play on second down in the third where he specifically avoided a rush by a defender between the left tackle and left guard and he forced that throw to Witten, but it was so low and if it was any higher it would have been an INT... he gets away with plays here and there that should be INTs, but since his throwing is very inconsistent with his mechanics the bad passes bail him out.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

I was impressed with some of the ropes he was throwing on the run. The best one came on a drive that stalled... Romo'esque left spinout... elude trouble... Dime to twill sprinting to the left on the sidelines..

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

You're crazy!

Palmer looked great tonight while wearing Lawrence on his back.

I thought he looked terrible in the 2nd half. Thanks in part to our pass rush. I prefer Dak's performance but he def. outplayed him in the 2nd half. Dak was a big part in why we got the win as was the defense.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Wow are you on crack? He threw that up for about 5 yards short

That was probably the worst throw of the game

Not even close. The one to Beasley in the endzone over his head.

 

[DIAF]

Lets not get too crazy here. Dak looked bad for an entire half, and the entire game last week.

Something isn't right. I don't know if its mechanical breakdowns, too many checkdowns, what but this hasn't been the same Dak.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

I actually thought Carson Palmer played very well at times, made some tough throws. Don’t really think they could ask for more out of him. Especially with the pressure he was seeing.

Palmer is one of the statue type QB's that throws one of the prettiest balls you'll see when given time.

 

[8FOR!3]

A lot went our way last season, not so much in the first half tonight. Great to see how Dak responded when not everything was going our way. Great intangibles

 

[Miller]

You have to roll the dice on Dak and his health running. Dime guys are pure pocket guys. Some feel it when in the move and when you get Dak active running and outside pocket he can be himself. Last week they left him out to dry!

 

[btcutter]

I don't know about incredible but he was very good

DAK should always have to handoff option 3-4 times a game

Dak reminds me of early Romo where he was better outside the pocket and improvise.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

Dak was incredibly Lucky.....fixed

Are you happy about the win?

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

I have no idea what these guys are talking about.....I prefer him on the run like he was today and being mobile.......but he's proven he can pass in the pocket.......

Yup, guess they ignore every game he played last year.

 

[Cowboyz88]

I thought he looked terrible in the 2nd half.

I guess my sarcasm is not coming across tonight.

My point was that, yes, Palmer looks terrible with all the pressure we were putting on him. Most QBs do.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

I think Wk 1 was an average game.

Week 2 was rough.

Week 3 was rough early, we saw him checking down to start. In the second half he opened up and that opened everything up....including the run. We have to be able to throw the ball down the field. I wish they were designed plays but both were basically scrambles. Dak made plays to win the game and that is all that we need.

 

[DFWJC]

Nice game by Dak and the team.
2-1 sure beats the alternative

What a game by Dak! His TD run turned the game around. His deep throws were excellent. He played like an All-Pro tonight. Coming off a tough game he showed everyone what he's made of. That's leadership.

Dak was good but he is still not able to be an effective passer from the pocket and his passing plays came when he got out of the pocket

You're not going to consistently beat good teams this way
