Quarterback commandments:
1. Ignore other opinions – Press or TV, agents or advisors, family or wives, friends or relatives, fans or hangers on – ignore them on matters of football, they don’t know what’s happening here.
2. Clowns can’t run a huddle – don’t forget to have fun but don’t be the class clown. Clowns and leaders don’t mix. Clowns can’t run a huddle.
3. Fat QBs can’t avoid the rush – A quarterback throws with his legs more than his arm. Squat and run.
4. Know your job cold – this is not a game without errors. Keep yours to a minimum. Study.
5. Know your own players – Who’s fast? Who can catch? Who needs encouragement? Be precise. Know your opponent.
6. Be the same guy every day – in condition. Preparing to lead. Studying your plan. A coach can’t prepare you for every eventuality. Prepare yourself and remember, impulse decisions usually equal mistakes.
7. Throwing the ball away is a good play – sacks, interceptions and fumbles are bad plays. Protect against those.
8. Learn to manage the game – personnel, play call, motions, ball handling, proper reads, accurate throws, play fakes. Clock. Clock. Clock. Don’t you ever lose track of the clock.
9. Get your team in the end zone – passing stats and TD passes are not how you’re going to be judged. Your job is to get your team in the end zone and that is how you will be judged.
10. Don’t panic – when all around you is in chaos, you must be the hand that steers the ship. If you have a panic button so will everyone else. Our ship can’t have a panic button.
11. Don’t be a celebrity QB – we don’t need any of those. We need battlefield commanders that are willing to fight it out, every day, every week and every season and lead their team to win after win after win.

Parcells' 4 Rules for drafting a Quarterback:
  • He must be a senior, because you need time and maturity to develop into a good professional quarterback.
  • He must be a graduate, because you want someone who takes his responsibilities seriously.
  • He must be a three-year starter, because you need to make sure his success wasn’t ephemeral and that he has lived as “the guy” for some period of time.
  • He must have at least 23 wins, because the big passing numbers must come in the context of winning games.

Dak is a perfect QB fo any defensive minded HC. Takes care of the ball. Doesn't make big risky throws often but can still make enough big plays to keep the offense moving. Perfect for ball control offense that most defensive minded HC love.

Great list!

I especially like:

9. Get your team in the end zone – passing stats and TD passes are not how you’re going to be judged. Your job is to get your team in the end zone and that is how you will be judged.

He has shown everything that any coach would want. I guarantee the Browns would think they won the Superbowl by having someone anywhere near his talent level

How much better does Dak have to be to make some of you believe in him?

Don't bother, JaBoy. Too many "fans" are too deep in their feelings. It's one of the more unusual things Ive seen on a Cowboys message board since the whole Quincy/Chad debates over a decade ago. The only difference is those 2 absolutely stunk. This time around both QBs are very good-great.

That sounds like the perfect QB for any HC.

"7. Throwing the ball away is a good play – sacks, interceptions and fumbles are bad plays. Protect against those." Dak still has some work to do in this area: he's been fumbling a lot lately.
"11. Don’t be a celebrity QB." Too early to sign off on this one. Check back in in a couple years.
"1. Ignore other opinions." Can't really tell on this one until he and/or the team goes through a bad spell.

But so far, so good, that's for sure.

Agreed but there are some very pass happy HC. JG was like that until recently. I have a feeling he would be more like than even now if he was also the OC still.

From what I have read Big Bill is still a Romo guy and Romo a Parcel's guy.
Now would Big Bill bring in Dak over Tony as he did with Tony over Drew?
That's a real question I would like to ask BP.
