Do coaches deserve credit for Dak?

[Dale]

I think Dak has mostly just come in far more prepared for the pro game than anyone could have ever imagined. Still, a young player's development does not occur mutually independent of the coaching staff, so I'd certainly say the staff gets to bask in it as well.

Romo spent time with the QB who were on the team last season as well. Not all players will respond and make it hell there are SB winning teams who have players who fail and never meet expectations yet I seriously doubt their fans discredit the coaches for players who do develop. These are not robot being programed they are people and you can work with a player and coach a player all day and yet some will not produce for many different reasons. Players have a responsibility in all of this not coaches alone

I'm sure they do, but Cassel said something like nobody approached him for quite awhile after he arrived.

Yes. And I'm not the biggest Garrett fan. Unlike other 4th rounders, Dak was a guy that the coaching staff and Garrett scouted in person and paid very close attention to. They saw the talent and skill that he had. Then they've helped develop that talent. His throwing mechanics are night and day better than they were back in December.

Great job so far.

Dak deserves credit for being Dak. The guy who is learning, improving and works hard.

This ... he works hard, from everything I've read is that he puts in the the time in practice, film room and meetings...seems to be the same thing said about all the really good QB's. I think watching Romo play could help him, well the good stuff Romo does, not the odd game where Romo can't help but throw dumb INT, but this kid seems to understand how to take care of the ball. I'll say this if we got our starting RB and QB for the next 10-12 years in the same draft then I'd say it's a successful draft.

I'll give you this. The coaches deserve credit for drafting Dak, giving him the playbook, orienting him to our culture, and allowing him to perfect his craft. Outside of that standard hospitality, all credit goes to Dak for continuing to blow all expectations out of the stratosphere.

I'll let the forum experts minimize Dak's contribution to where he is right now while I sit back and chomp on this popcorn.

The coaches have to recognize what he is good at and put him In position to succeed. They have to provide NFL type info to an NCAA player who they have recognized can process the information and execute under duress (duress part all Dak).

Coaches didn't just wake up around this game yesterday Dak did. It takes more than athletic ability to QB an NFL offense.

Nuance.

And why do you think Garrett is giving him 100% credit for his achievements during press conferences? Because he knows that Daks ability and confidence goes hand and hand. That's a part of coaching.

Don't forget the after practice challenge of Who Hits the Star that Garrett wins that probably got him brownie points with the rookie.

I'm thinking that that the lion's share of Dak's knowledge, mechanics and insight might likely be coming from Tony Romo himself.

Tony bears the benefits of ages of personal experience behind center and a full grasp of all the QB intricacies to pass on to Dak.

Yeah right Dallas coaches are playing no part in the development of Dak. LOL god some of you people are too funny. You would cut off your nose to spite your face before giving credit to any coach with the Dallas Cowboys. I'm sure if Dak was struggling the same fools would be hollering how we did not have a coach who could develop him. hell guys like Wade Wilson and Jason Garrett know a hell of a lot more of what it takes to play in the NFL over some wanna be message board coaches they have done it they have played the NFL what has any one here done?

Lot of truth right there.
