We copycat Seattle a lot. The jet sweep. Our tackling technique of around the legs and head on the ball.

We had Dak running that read option play Seattle runs ad nauseum. First option is a middle iso, if the DE crashes down the QB rolls out while TE runs a flag, if the S comes up to cover the run then you pass it to the TE. Else you run into open space with the TE lead blocking in space.

Both times Swaim dropped the ball when we ran it because the S came up and the DE crashed in. That play Russell Wilson runs at least 4 times a game.

Your crazy. I would actually say that McNabb was the more accurate QB of the two.

He has a career comp% under 60%. In the modern era that is terrible. He was notorious for throwing ducks and being inconsistent with his mechanics which led to him missing easy throws.

None more ridiculous than your arrogant attitude. You're right. Wilson and Aikman are the same. Aikman threw a pick in the SB and lost it. He isn't 3-0, but 2-1 in SB's. Same as when Wilson lost his last SB appearance.



Yep, at least you're smart enough to realize you'd be a complete hypocrite trying to argue Aikman's post season numbers. Your sarcasm is just window dressing.

Ya, Wilson's post season numbers against a watered down NFL defensive league is so impressive. Aikman never faced the defenses in the regular season or the playoffs that Wilson had to endure over and over.

Keep going with the personal attacks. Put more evil in your next post, you might be on a roll then.

Lol, now the league has "watered down" defenses now. The excuse making is off the charts.

"Put more evil in your next post?"

Smh, get a grip.

I know. All the rule changes to help defenses now, what am I thinking. Why stop with Aikman. Wilson is better than Brady and Payton too.

Smh, grip away on that.

Yeah, you know football, eh?

McNabb was criticized for being one of the most inaccurate quarterbacks in the league. Had trouble completing simple balls in the flat.

Like Wilson, he had a great defense. When that defense dried up, so did McNabb.

Awe, are you upset that your own bunk logic is getting thrown in your face and you're not quite sure what to do with it?

By your own oversimplified standards & reasoning, Aikman is really just 1-2 in his Super Bowl appearances.

I look forward to your follow up response speaking in simple generalities,

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

First of all, they're built NOTHING alike. Prescott is a big strong protypically built QB. Wilson is Friedo Baggins.

And Wilson isn't that great. He benefits from a tremendous defense, and formerly Marshawn Lynch. He did not have to do much most of the time. Nice player, but not anywhere near what Tony Romo is.

Prescott needs to learn to play real quarterback like Romo.

Are people still sleeping on Wilson?

Hahaha

Dallas would be extremely fortunate if Prescott comes close to being on par with Wilson.

What logic have you thrown into my face that disputes what Ive said? My opinion holds same weight as yours. I'll take the words of people who played against Aikman, such as HOF's over yours who played against Wilson.

Predictable; more vaguery.

But beyond that, what are you talking about? You'll take the words of people that played against Aikman? Okay, what words are those?

Just as your predictable words.

I won't google on Wilson, 'cause there isn't any. I'm done. Peace.

There may be a lot of reasons QB's don't make it to the Super Bowl but good QB's usually find a way there.

Were really hating on Wilson still? Lol man as long as Dak is a super bowl capable qb I'll be giddy. I don't care who he plays like.

When? When he was with Washington or Minn. The guy used to throw darts in his prime. They owned the east for much of his time when he was starting. You don't go to 5 NFC championship games with an inaccurate QB.
I am not a fan of him by any means and I can't stand the people that want to put him in the HOF but to say that he wasn't accurate is completely incorrect.
Also he had good defenses, not great. And to knock Wilson for a great defense is just lazy.

He's a good QB. He is not an elite QB. Did you watch how horrendous he was against the Packers in the NFC championship game? He's had multiple games like that. Remember how average he was against our lousy defense two years ago. And last year, too?

Nick Foles had 27 TDs and 2 INTs two years ago.
OK, if we are evaluating skill sets, I will throw in a few I noticed: 1) He knows how to throw touch passes down field; 2) he has vision and look away skills; 3) leads defenders away with eyes from the receivers; 4) knows back shoulder throws; 5) He has very good foot placement in his throws. I am old but I see some of Terry Bradshaw in him with those touch passes that only his receivers can catch. I see Warren Moon in him in playing to the system he is in. I also, see a little of Wilson but much better in reading his progressions.

Conclusion: He has not shown any Romo skills at this point. I believe that he would be a very good system QB but not a great QB. In a good system that fits his skill sets he would be better than Wilson and with a very good defense could lead the Cowboys to a SB. In summary His time would not really come until Romo was gone and the Staff changed the offense and some personnel that looks like Carolina.

Thanks for reading:)

I'm just waiting for the game when Dak struggles and people start making comments like no wonder he was a fourth round pick

I think people are grossly underestimating Russell Wilson as just a guy who rides the coattails of a strong defense and running game to team success.The guy is unconventional in how he gets it done but is a tremendous football player and QB.

as far as a comparison to Dak, i don't see it other than the mobility. Dak has the size and stature to be much more consistent delivering from the pocket. While Wilson has gotten better, his size hurts him in this area which is why he tends to run around so much. But i think Dak ultimately if he works out will primarily be a pocket passer with mobility to evade the rush when needed.

While I agree this is all over-zealousness...let me answer your last question. The why we can't just let these "cats play things out" question. And the answer is simple. Some people enjoy discussing football as much as they enjoy watching it.

Simple as that.

That is the point. Its those kind of ridiculous over the top discussions and predictions that cause the negativity. Just sayin.
