Expectations of our quarterback

[MountaineerCowboy]

I expect Super Bowl championships. Nothing less is acceptable.

As it should be.

 

[LittleD]

Yeah, they haven't caught up to Brady....

Brady is much like Montana except better. He knows how to read defenses and win down the stretch. Dak is totally lost when pressured. After being hurt, he's scared to run.

If people could just leave their emotions out of it and look at what’s happening they might understand the point. And not look for an agenda

you had an agenda posting this, dont be a hypocrite. its nonsense, dak like many need team to win and those payers switched from a weak falling apart team to a desperate one willing to invest right away for early returns. Those are facts read it twice let that sink if. Basically their new teams went ALL IN for that year in hopes of a ring..most of them were pretty bad and then decide to go for it...

those saying bradys the exception, well it didn't help year 2 an dit was the exact same team the year before as SB winners and he retired the comes back..if just switching teams were the answer then it would be a blueprint, its not, its the exception..
that doesn't help the DC for dak to leave thats a risk. Rather have the jones to go all in with Dak maybe take high risk approach ONE offseason similar to the rams..stkil no guarantee but would have liked to see that one time during Daks tenure.

Dak’s ceiling has been reached. If you think that’s good enough, prepare for disappointment. Dak’s good enough to get us to the playoffs with a loaded roster. That’s about it.

2021 NOT acceptable
2022 NOT acceptable
2023 NOT acceptable
2024 NOT acceptable
2025 NOT acceptable
and on and on

I don't see Dak getting any better.

I'll take it a step further and say that I see Dak declining this year. The players around him have gotten worse and he never recovered after that Denver game. There is nothing to suggest that the teams we play won't continue to do what they've been doing, therefore leading to Dak constantly playing confused.

You Sir are doomed to a lifetime of disappointment and angst.

he has been a diehard dak fan and cowboy fan, defending both. So no agenda , he just has a new theory on it.

going to a new team can energize a qb, if the team is good and we saw it last year with stafford.
Also WW didnt say this, but when they go to new team they also have different coaching, possibly way better than what they had.

Dak is flawed, but kellen sucks, and is part of the problem with dak. linehan was better OC, it was just the dallas defense sucked during his
time with dallas.

As I truly believe Prescott can win a Super Bowl. I don’t believe he will win one with Dallas . Copycat league. I believe a quarterback has a better chance his first two seasons after switching teams. So it’s not that I believe Prescott doesn’t have the talent , I just believe he’s already highlighted his pros and cons. The league catches up with your Tendencies. With the same franchise,Hope I’m wrong go cowboys

So you believe Dak can win a SB, but not with Dallas and not in a league that's caught up with him (see my signature on that).....
....so is he going to the USFL, Canada, or are they setting up a European League?
Personally, I don't see the point in discussing something that's immaterial, he's not going anywhere for at least another 2 (possibly 3) seasons.

 

[DandyDon52]

You Sir are doomed to a lifetime of disappointment and angst.

not really, I dont expect or demand SB championships.
I am satisfied if dallas just makes the playoffs, that is a good year. anything better is just a bonus.
But if you just read the tea leaves,and look at the history of last 27 years, and use a little common sense, you would know dallas making it to SB anytime soon, is very unlikely.
And I dont mean winning SB lol , I mean just getting to one.

He's no Brady, but he isn't totally lost....

 

[Streifenkarl]

I expect his Facebook and Insta Pages on a top level, just like his commercials. C'me on you guys, you know he's a pro!

Yes his pocket presence is now a major weakness after he showed decent escapability early in his career. Unless the offensive line starts playing like it’s 2016 again, Dak is going to struggle some.

What OP is really saying is:

I don't believe in Dak, but because he still has a star on his helmet I can't bring myself to admit it.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Yes, he can no longer hide his weak pocket awareness behind his ability to run.

In the past, when he would get confused, he would take off for a few yards. He doesn't do that now and it has exposed major weaknesses.

Not every team will have the defense to do what Denver and San Fran did, but the teams that do have that ability will surely watch those tapes and apply it.

The blueprint seems to be go all out on stopping the run, play a lot of zone, don't blitz, and disguise things a little. If you can do that then this passing offense can not only be shut down, but look down right inept.

 

[jazzcat22]

But what do you think about a quarterback being fresh with another team does he have a better shot or does he have a better shot staying with the same team look what Aaron Rogers did nothing after his first Super Bowl. But there’s always exceptions I’m just trying to look at the big picture

Wentz didn't do so great with the Colts, or will he with the Commodes. Goff did not fair well in Detroit so far. Darnold sucked as well in Carolina.
Foles did not pull a Brady and win with his 2nd team either.
Fitzgerald, how many "2nd" teams did he play for?
Stafford, needed the refs help at the end to win his ring.

How about some examples other than Stafford. Or is this just to bag on Dak and / or the FO?

The OP is correct about the league working Dak out... hence the Jimmie Ward quote.

 

[RodeoJake]

He's no Brady, but he isn't totally lost....

I think when things ain't working, Dak gets down and struggles to find his confidence. I think Dak can lead this team out of its playoff drought, but he needs rise above his own shaken confidence and show some fire when it ain't going well. He's the leader of the offense and they're gonna go as he goes. No more sitting by himself with his head down. Rise up and let the team know they've got this.

 

[Reid1boys]

He aint no rookie anymore. He is who he is. I expect Dak to be the same Dak we've seen. Great on days, below avg on days.

No just Jimmie Ward either....

"They need to give Zeke some of Dak's money," an AFC defensive coach said, per ESPN 's Jeremy Fowler. "He scares you the most on that offense."

Dak is not very respected when it comes to game planning it seems.
