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

[TheMarathonContinues]

Is that Tolbert all the way on the right side in the bottom right picture? if so, he's a lot bigger than I thought.

He is. Shocked me too.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Yes sir if you don’t know by now a real leader will let his people know when they didn’t their job.
A person that’s not a leader will not take the fall for people that are letting their team down.
People need to really get an understanding of what a leader is and stop coming up with their own ideas.
The great QBs that you think of let their receivers know, right there on the sideline in front of cameras, Brady, Peyton, Brees, Aikman, Staubach

Dak does it in the media though.

Always excuses with this bum.

 

[CowboysLakerBamaFan]

Another stupid guarantee.

Hey Dak....tipped passes are accidents.

NO team tries to have accidents....yet they still happen.

EVERY team....EVERY QB has tipped passes that end up being INTs. Nobody wants them...yet they still happen. Stop guaranteeing things you can't control. Because if you COULD control them, you shoulda done so last year.

If you DO somehow have the ability to prevent these accidental INTs, then you have some serious explaining to do as to why you didn't use that ability last year when you set the league on fire with huge INT per Game stats.

 

[cmoney23]

Yeah that 2nd most productive offense behind the Chiefs sucked.

Just the guy who leads it does... right?

 

[jazzcat22]

Dak does it in the media though.

Always excuses with this bum.

No excuses when they hit the field for real.
Though some fans will have them either way it goes.

Like I been saying, I am waiting to see it on the field.
However, I am more excited on seeing improvements on defense.

 

[TheSport78]

Just like Dak? Huh? Dak played on a 4 year 2.7 million dollar deal….

He obviously outplayed his rookie contract. I'm not sure what your point is.

 

[Sydla]

So he basically threw his wide receivers under the bus for the previous years.

LOL.

I am sure that's not exactly what he meant but yeah, it reads like he just tossed his WRs under the bus.

My guess is what he meant is that some tipped balls were simply screw ups between him and the WR/TEs and now they are all on the same page and that won't happen.

 

[TheSport78]

Given the QB market absolutely. I just think you do not understand how markets work. It is about supply and demand and not about what you arbitrarily decide.

Oh, I understand how markets work. I'm a real estate investor so I know all about ROI. He has not given a sufficient ROI. It's not just what the Cowboys are paying him, but HOW the contract is structured. The Cowboys have hitched their wagon to a declining player.

 

[GMO415]

Under the WCO he'll probably be making more attempts. Good luck Dak.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

He obviously outplayed his rookie contract. I'm not sure what your point is.

You literally just compared Dak to Sam Bradford lol….

 

[5Stars]

So he basically threw his wide receivers under the bus for the previous years.

Of course! You think he will take any responsibility for his screw ups? That's your leader, right there.

 

[bayeslife]

Todd Archer should be commended for reporting the correction. An accurate quote is always best.

Unfortunately, a less cloudy crystal ball is still just a crystal ball. Team objectives are what the players strive for game-by-game. They should not be made fodder for talking sports heads and social media.

Plus, the correction does not lessen the spotlight on Prescott in this instance. Scrutiny will intensify. It shifts from 'Prescott said he would not throw ten interceptions this year and there's number ____' to 'wonder if Prescott will blame number ____ interception on himself or the receiver running the wrong route?'

That is also unfortunate since a percentage of interceptions are not the quarterback or receiver's fault. It is sometimes just the result of a defensive player making a great play.

Are we seriously not blaming Noah Brown for the Jaguars game? Lol

 

[starfan1]

So the receivers can run mis-timed/incorrect routes and it's Dak's fault if he misses them?

I really want a football answer.

Then you better talk to someone else

 

[Praxit]

...well, if there wasnt a come-back route on every play. Maybe half of those tipped balls, wouldnt have happen.

 

[NotForLong]

It didnt suck by any stretch, but there was something missing. It didnt have that extra gear or variety against better defenses. Didnt have that creativity. Moore didnt have that 6th sense IT factor.

Now some of that was definitely the Oline and the Zeke featured run game.

You touched on everything but Dak . . . same tired story for the last 8 seasons

 

[NotForLong]

All passes are not bad and still end up in the defense's hands. Next agenda counterpoint.

Drinking Game . . . Take a Shot every time this guy writes "AGENDA"

 

[NotForLong]

In all your years/decades of football fandom, do you remember any other QB who has had his interceptions dissected, reviewed and studied, with seemingly the goal of relieving responsibility of the QB, to the extent that goes on here and now with this QB?

This is some serious trend setting, universe resetting stuff going on here at the Zone.

Not only do they bend over backwards to Defend Him. They promote Extending Him and Paying Him . . . Then when He gets extended and paid they celebrate like they won a Super Bowl

It Sickening, Mind Blowing and Sad all at the same time

All these clueless psychotic fans should be forced to leave with Him when He joins another team

 

[NotForLong]

Rush proved that Dak is not needed.

Rush is hated for that by some, but I love him for it.

Rush is the wrench in all the Dak fans machines.

Point blank. . . Come on you Dak Word Smiths . . . Spin this one

 

[NotForLong]

You do realize how ridiculous this sounds? Just like many more of your narratives you repeat over and over.

I know someone that claims James Street is the best QB ever to play in the NCAA, because he went 19-0 for the Longhorns. Claiming he never lost a game, therefore is the best college QB, ever.

This is not what he said and you are exaggerating to make a point

He said Rush proved Dak is not needed . . . We can win without Dak . . . where does the confusion lie?

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Dak hasn’t been very accurate since his injury in 2021. He has thrown 25 interceptions in his last 24 games. Balls sail and are behind receivers more often than is acceptable.

He won’t fix it either because he seems hesitant to take responsibility.
