Good film breakdown of Dak

[Tarheelcowboy]

Here is one to ponder.....Dak is a place holder untill Jerrys grandson gets there. This the reason they are keeping a mediocre QB as a starter.

 

[blindzebra]

Dak had a statistically below average game for a QB at home against GB that year, and that's not even taking into account that towards the end of the year GB was absolutely decimated with injuries in the secondary. There was plenty of room for improvement in that game, as Atlanta showed the following week.

If throwing 3 TD passes and running for another is statistically below average I hope he is there every game.

 

[Gator88]

Below average? Are you joking?

No, GB's pass defense that year was awful.

Dak vs 2016 Packers: 24-38 302 yds, 3 tds, 1 int, 96.6 Passer Rating, 7.95 Y/A

Avg QB vs 2016 GB Packers Road defense: 24-35, 298 yds, 2.25 tds, 0.75 int, 107.4 Passer Rating, 8.46 Y/A

He was a rookie QB in his first ever playoff game. Go look at the history of rookies in the NFL, playing in the playoffs. It’s pretty ugly.

UHHH all of those starts are worse than what Dak did. And he had a rushing TD. Dak was on par with what good qbs did against tgst defense. Did you see what Eli did the week before? And what did rookies do against tgst defense?

 

[Cap12]

So he was hurt at the beginning of 2015?

Yeah. He got hurt in the second game of the season. He didn't come back until the week before Thanksgiving and then got hurt against Carolina. He was 3-0 going in games that he started going into the Thanksgiving game and then went against one of the toughest Defenses in the NFL in 2015 (and the eventual NFC Champs). I'm still trying to wrap my brain around you believing that Dak was a better QB than Romo in 2016.

Maybe he shouldn't have even started that game then.

 

[erod]

This is the NFL not the NBA. You don't start over and rebuild in the NFL.

Are you going to waste Zeke Elliott while we struggle through years of quarterback searching and developing?

Why not get a high pick for him?

 

[erod]

I laugh at how ridiculous that argument is, Dak went toe to toe with Rodgers and yet we win that game with Tony. It is laughable.

We win that game easily with Romo. The Packers had nobody left on defense. They were decimated.

That's why they were down 31-0 to Atlanta the next week early in the game.

 

[wssaustin]

I think last season, the OL were not as good as 2016, also the Zeke distraction and missing games etc. all factored to his poor performance.

Beating Giants this team went over-confident and fully destroyed by a bad Denver team, and Dak was shatter after that.

Fact and news flash, Stephen Jones is not a coach nor a scout.

Witten is not a good route runner? Last time I checked Witten is going to be a HOF. Beasly is known for running precise routes. And while Williams maybe prone to boneheaded play he runs decent routes. Just because we have a new WR coach who wants to work on routes the way he wants it doesn't mean our receivers don't know how to run routes.

Same receivers with Romo at QB...only WR with problem is Dez.

Yes, Dez can't run routes. That's a fact and not exactly news to us. Yes, our new WRs are known for for their route running ability but it will still require Dak to throw with some anticipation.

This is NOT about bashing Dak but just knowing these are things that he needs to work on. Stop putting ALL the blame on everyone around him.

And what abou game one of 2015 season? I'm just going based on what I saw. Whether Romo was hurt or not is moot. The guys body couldn't hold up yet you guys feel he would've stayed healthy the year Dak took his spot? It makes no sense.

I'll think about it when it happens. But as of now it hasn't. We got 9 wins with poor qb play and Zeke suspended.....I don't see why this team wouldn't be a 10 or 11 win team with him.

 

[starcity214]

Poor footwork. Yep
Poor pocket awareness. Nope (Fair pocket awarness)
Poor accuracy. Yep (due to footwork mechanics, but he's better on the move)
Poor Leadership skills. No. You are completely wrong! Excellent leadership, huddle presence etc.
Poor downfield vision. No. Dak has decent downfield vision, but does not always make the right read.
Poor decision making abilities. Not really. He tends to take care of the ball pretty well, so he plays it too safe sometimes.
Poor timing on his passes. Yep. He takes too long to get the ball out and needs a quicker release.

About that "Excellent leadership and pocket presence"....

I don't buy it.

There is something called a frontrunner.
A frontrunner talks a big game and acts like he is great but he lacks talent.

would any of you take orders from a guy that you knew was less talented than you are? At some point , all of Prescott's Rah Rah stuff will get old. Only a bonafied Alpha male can be a leader. You have to be one of the best players on your team. Remember, we got rid of Dez because I'm sure most of the team respected him more than Prescott...

 

[Buzzbait]

Where is the good film breakdown of Dak? I must have missed it?

Yeah that one got lost. Didn't fit agenda.

 

[Buzzbait]

Me too. Hopefully he's used the off-season well in improving his game.

Well how could he NOT improve with a great QB coach like Kellen Moore?

 

[Cebrin]

Stephen Jones knows a little bit about football, but he was a defensive player at Arkansas who never ran route in his life (maybe High School, lol). Yep Witten's best route will be to the Hall of Fame, lol.

Witten is actually a very good route runner for a TE. Especially for his age. He's great with his hips. He can make space without being twitchy.

 

[DakBringMeBack]

The Cowboys management with this Dak's friendly plan is trying to change a lot of players,so Dak's deficiency is minimized.
Why not just draft another quarterback.

Well genius, they don't know that the next QB can play. They know Dak can. At his worst he's very good. At his best he's proven to be one of the best in the NFL. Those don't grow on trees. There isn't one in this draft, in fact.

LOL.... At his worse 15 Q of offense (New Boys Record) no passing TD and 3 str8 embarrassing blown out losses to miss the playoffs last year.
At his Best the dink and dunks he throws go for long yardage and Zeke runs the whole game long.

Get a NEW QB and solve our offensive struggles!

Maybe they didn't like the title...

And what abou game one of 2015 season? I'm just going based on what I saw. Whether Romo was hurt or not is moot. The guys body couldn't hold up yet you guys feel he would've stayed healthy the year Dak took his spot? It makes no sense.

Outside of the Carolina game, Romo was undefeated in games he started. He was 3-1 in 2015 and they were 0-12 without him. What does that tell you about his value? As good as Romo was, it was the really the lack of Murray that hurt the team even more. McFadden was an in between the 20s kind of back and turned out to not be the bell cow that Murray was (and not good in all 3 phases of the game like Murry for that matter). In 2016, the team drafts a more talented version of Murray and look what happened. So Romo was 3-1 without Murray. What was Dak without Zeke? I rest my case.

As far as if Romo could stay healthy or not, who cares? If he does, he's your best chance to win in 2016 when he returned to the roster. If not, you go back to Dak.
