Dak was misquoted: "We won't have those tipped INT's this year"

[Corso]

Unlike some around here, I hope he's right.

For real yo.

 

[TheCritic]

Stop running your mouth and just play ball. I like confidence but I don't like crystal ball predictions.

As a fan, I totally agree with this! But I'll give Dak the opportunity to bet on himself. If he backs up his words, minimizes turnovers and helps get the Cowboys to the SB, then he will have earned the respect he craves. But if he doesn't put it all together this season, then I'll be rooting for his successor, the sooner the better!

Why would he even say this? He has nothing to gain. It's not even a big deal to have 10. Highly successful QB's have had 10

It is how dak operates, he was a psyche major.
1. it gets attention, heck it came here.
2. he is saying he will be better this year, just doesnt say how he will do that. Better where int's are concerned, and he always had a thing about ints.
3. shows he is learning from jerry,throw something to the media, stay relevant !
4. Dak is always saying he will be better this season, or that it is time to win, sense of urgency this year, been saying stuff for almost a decade now.
and it works. Only a few will see thru it , so it is effective practice.

It’s probably the toughest job in sports. It’s tougher to be a Cowboys QB now then it was for Aikman. This toxic social media era. I think it’s why a lot of us thought he was up for the task doing what he did his rookie year. Took a solid state of mind to do that for a rookie. I don’t think it’s stupid it’s just his confidence in himself. He’s better than leading the league in interceptions.

What makes it "toxic"?

Poel like you and me?

He should have said he won't have 10 interceptions because of HIS passes. He can't guarantee that the ball won't bounce off or go through receivers hands.

He doesn't realize that people hold him accountable for very catch-able passes that receivers muff and get intercepted. He was definitely responsible for his fair share of bad throws that led to interceptions.

He had 7 years to "back up his words"
"we just gotta be better"

Even the defense needs two passes to figure out how to catch it.

He's a disciple of "the process"

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

oh and @mattjames2010 MM has had a lot of success with Rich Gannon, Derek Brooks, and Aaron Rodgers. I am not sure "that type of quarterback" is supposed to mean but he has proven to be able to work with a diverse set of QBs to this point.

 

[Momanpr100]

It’s amazing they could have back to back 12 win seasons without any talent.

Don't forget the bad coach and bad GM

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

So what does this "Dak guarantee" even mean?

Did he WANT to lead the league in INTs last year (despite missing a third of the games)? I'm assuming he didn't want that....which means he didn't WANT to throw a g*d-awful number of INTS, but it happened anyway.

So....like....I'm sure once again Dak doesn't WANT to throw a zillion INTs....but just like last year, what you WANT to happen, and what actually DOES happen, could still be different again.

 

[The Natural]

Lol.

 

[Typhus]

Right on Dak, but you lost me after about your 2nd declaration last season of less INTs.

Quit making promises before you can justify and just prove it.

You do not always have to vocalize a promise, there are more creative ways that other QBs in this league, most, that understand how to deflect bogus questions from the media, but our man Dak always feels the need to ensure everyone that he is going to reduce his INTs.

Its not even the concern over Daks INTs that concern me at this point, its the fact that so much has been publicly made about it that Dak is noticeably affected by that social media thing with his weknesses, that is what concerns me the most, this fan.

Why all you think that I constantly bring up the fragile ego thing, why we never put more than Rush behind him?

We put Dak behind Romo, but this ego is Fragile my friends, Dallas FO is smart enough to recognize and dont want to risk sending fragile Dak into a major meltdown, he is trying his best right now just to maintain with more empty promises.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

You assume he actually reads it. Use that $40 million a year to hire a personal assistant to post away, and stay away from the social media cesspool.

It’s natural to do it. They lie and say they don’t but they hear the rumblings…..for sure.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Even though Dak, Mike, and Jerry all talked about the need to be more aggressive?

It was obvious Dak was trying to be more aggressive, even before all three of them spoke on it.
That is what led to the bad throws and dumb decisions.

He literally had a play where he threw the same pass twice in a row and it resulted in a pick. It’s already been said about 8 of the picks wasn’t about aggression.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

He doesn't realize that people hold him accountable for very catch-able passes that receivers muff and get intercepted. He was definitely responsible for his fair share of bad throws that led to interceptions.

All the other QBs have the same thing happen to them too though, which the Daksters seem to always ignore.

So, when you compare apples to apples, and not try to subtract any INTs that his receivers may have caused, because we aren't doing that to the other starting QBs numbers either, Dak led the league in INT per game by a wide margin.

If you want to subtract the INTs dak wasn't responsible for, and then also do that for all the other starting QBs in the league, Dak still leads the league in INTs per game by an equally large margin.

He's the worst no matter how you slice it.

In fact, I'd go so far as to say EVEN if you assumed NONE of the other starting QBs had ANY of their INTs caused by a receiver, and said 100% of their INTs were all on them, yet you still subtracted Dak's INTs that his receivers caused, I bet he'd STILL lead the league in INT per game despite comparing apples to oranges..... that's how horrible he was in the INT and backbreaking Pick6 department.

it doesnt mean anything, it is like the things mike says, just propaganda to make people think this is the year.
then if it doesnt happen this year, they will say some more things about 24 being the year.

He is basically predicting things that cant be predicted. He may throw only 1 or maybe 20, it cant be predicted.

Naw….I pale in comparison to the disgusting behavior on social media……

 

[JBS]

Who said it would? It just feeds you haters. Y’all are all frothing at the mouth hoping for failure.

What an idiot you are lol. I support Dak, fool

 

[TexasBoys2288]

Over. Hopefully not as bad as 17, but over 10.
