Who Immy?

 

[zerofill]

Jimmy nailed it though... Dak can't process the field like $40mil QBs do.

 

[cavemanct]

There goes Immy again

 

[Hadenough]

Jimmy nailed it! Dak needs everything around him perfect. It has to be a one or two read offense. Dak cannot just drop back and survey the field.

This is what the better teams have picked up on with Dak. IM not sure McCarthy can help him either because Rodgers was a drop back survey the field type QB and it made McCarthy look better than he might be.

 

[Cmac]

Dak being tutored and having QB discussions with Kellen Moore. C'mon Man!

 

[1972COWBOY]

He is right, The chemistry is not their. This offensive line is not rigged to make a QB like Dak thrive. Its missing key elements. A total healthy Smith, loss of Fred and now Collins even Zack is getting sore now. All these players really need to be in place and at their best health to let Dak thrive with this offense.

Dak is good but he needs the right offensive line in place to give a QB with his style time and room.

 

[Brooksey]

Dak looks nothing like Testaverde. Dak is much more mobile, he doesn't throw side arm passes like Mahomes I get that but I just don't see the comparison.

 

[Cmac]

Jerry being cursed by not having Jimmy in the Ring of Honor.

 

[aria]

Didn’t Immy just say this team was Super Bowl bound and had the talent? He’s already crawfishing after one game? Immy may be losing his marbles.

“Jimmy likes Elaine.”

 

[starfan1]

Well there it is! If Immy says it there must be truth

 

[stiletto]

Not sure I totally agree with Jimmy. QBs who don't see the field well have turnovers galore. Dak isn't in that category at all. Opposite in fact.

Jimmy was not talking about physically, he was talking about the style of offense you need. He said Dak is like Testaverde in that you need a very specific offense. In that you take a 5 step drop, this is read 1, this is read 2, then throw it here. Very structured, what you cant do is play sandlot ball with Dak in that you just put him out there and tell him to just run around, throw of your back foot, just ad lib and make plays ala Aaron Rogers.

Its a good point by Jimmy, Dak is not a sandlot QB that just draws up plays in the dirt and ad libs on the fly.

 

[Risen Star]

If only Immy and Erry could have gotten along.

 

[Diehardblues]

So, Dak needs a perfect situation to flourish.

 

[SultanOfSix]

I've been saying that Dak is slow processing the field (compared to his predecessor) for a number of years now. He's not seeing those small open windows that a very good to elite QB is be able to see.

 

[CATCH17]

Maybe if Jimmy says it people will listen.


You get called a lot of things on this forum for pointing out what Dak is as a player and how he isn’t worth the deal he wants.

Dak is a good solid QB but paying him that kind of money will destroy our Super Bowl chances and this game is about winning the Super Bowl.

If Andy Dalton was the QB of this team you aren’t seeing a massive drop off at the position.

 

[DogFace]

So, Dak needs a perfect situation to flourish.

That’s not what Immy said.

He used a comparison with Innie Testaverde and said the offense needs precision. Not perfection.

 

[Beast_from_East]

So, Dak needs a perfect situation to flourish.

I would not say it has to be perfect, it just has to be more structured.

That was Jimmy's point.
