He's A Rookie At 11-2

[Eddie]

Um, this isn't Dak's personal classroom. I don't have time for him to "learn from this." How about we put in the guy who has already learned?

You mean the porcelain doll who would last about 3 plays? Late hit, unnecessary roughness, shoulder plow into the back. Gone. See ya. Defense did their job.

Oh ... my fault. You were referring to Mark Sanchez. Sorry for getting carried away.

8. He's still Joe Montana.

He's been pretty shaky in many of those wins. Really bad against Minnesota and the Giants.

He's a rookie. This is to be expected.

But they will not win a Super Bowl with him this year. That's pretty much a given.

Which I feel was the risk they were willing to take all along to get him valuable experience. There is no way to substitute experience. So for the front office it's worth the risk to potentially not win it all, despite this great run thus far, to get him the experience he needs to know what defenses and teams will do down the stretch and in the playoffs.

It was pretty clear to me that the coaching staff was willing to put any chances at a Superbowl squarely on the hopes that Dak would be able to do, as a rookie, what no rookie has done. Win a championship despite the lack of experience.

Which I have no real issue with. I can understand their reasoning and so I'm fine with it.

1. This guy has posted 11 wins. Of all the stats, those are the ones which count the most.

2. The last three games where he has "struggled" came against pretty good defenses, and he won 2.

3. Every week now there is a post/thread, did Team X show the league how to beat the Cowboys.

4. Did you believe he would go all the way through the Super Bowl and not post another loss?

5. The fact Dez father died may just be setting in now. That performance last night showed his head wasn't in the game. That does not detract from the truth, which is this guy is special.

6. How does any of the people so ready to replace Dak know for certain Romo will be greatness again? Well, you don't, so that was rhetorical.

7. During the years when I would point out Romo's shortcomings, I was told I was a hater who wished for Romo to fail. I see a great deal of that this mroning on this board in regard to Dak.

Yep the shoe is on the other foot now.

the field is the classroom and a rookie season is just that, "learning"

Yeah everyone knows that for the first time in 3 months you can actually be happy.

Why not? We had to wait until the coach learned how to coach.

And then when we say "we told you so" we will be called haters.

Carson Wentz needs experience ....and a better supporting cast.

Dak Prescott needs talent. That's the problem. I have serious doubts that year 5 Prescott can be the QB we all want.

Exactly.. the only reason Dak still has the starting job is because they didn't want to upset the chemistry on this run and the shop is looking like it's beginning to sail.. they didn't do this to train Dak with Romo in the wings..

And if I don't see improvement from one year to another I won't give him a pass. He has something though. We have to see what we have.

 

[basstapp]

I think Dak has been amazing, but his accuracy last night was terrible. He made one easy throw to Williams and you take that away he has a terrible game.

I'm a big romo fan and would love for him to step in and get some reps. You don't have to bench Dak, but they should have brought romo in the 4th quarter. Everyone knows a healthy Romo is a better play then a healthy Dak. It's not a knock on Dak, but he can't read defenses like romo and with the run game and the defense showing up this could be our streak.

Let it out, bro. You'll feel better.

Dak wouldn't have lasted 3 years here if he came in 2007 or 2008..

 

[Risen Star]

I'm still holding out hope that our statisticians can dazzle us with some numbers and make us feel better about the steamer our QB dropped last night.

You need to relax, we're 11-2, put down the gun.

Oh, I'm relaxed. I think this is some funny stuff. John Q. Public decided that you couldn't put Romo back in because it "would destroy momentum," like there was any factual basis for that line of thinking. And the organization was too weak to refute that erroneous logic and kept their HOF-level QB on the sideline. And everyone said "Hooray, the Cowboys are doing the right thing!" And now the QB controversy they thought they had so adeptly sidestepped is right back at the forefront.

Belichick would have laughed his *** off at the notion of keeping Brady on the sideline when he was healthy for a rook QB. Because Belichick has the mental capacity to look beyond a win-loss record as being the end all, be all.

Well if I had Tom Brady on the sidelines and he hadn't been constantly getting hurt, I'd bring him in too.

How many Super Bowls did Brady win?

Gotta take these kind of games as a learning opportunity. Time to move on. We have Tampa next. They're fighting for their playoff lives.

We can't lose 2 in a row. Dak needs to have a good game to raise his confidence for the playoffs. If we don't figure out how to fix the pressure, then we're going to have another short playoff trip.

Agree. Start losing multiple times in a row and go into playoffs with that to overcome and it doesn't bode well. The odds were against us running the table through SB, so a L now doesn't change our determining our own destiny.

Russell Wilson threw 5 picks yesterday to one of the worst defenses.
Can Newton only had a 37% completion rate yesterday.
Drew Brees was held without a TD.

QBs have bad games.
