How well is Dak doing against Parcell's 11 commandments after 7 years

[Hawkeye0202]

Came across this, an interesting read to see how well Dak has held up............ think he's done pretty well with most but some inconsistency with #7 and 8 but a number of factors ( not all the QB's fault ) can impact their outcome also.

BILL PARCELS’ 11 QUARTERBACK COMMANDMENTS

1. Press or TV agents or advisers, family or wives, friends or relatives, fans or hangers-on, ignore them on matters of football, they don't know what's happening here.
2. Don't forget to have fun, but don't be the class clown. Clowns and leaders don't mix. Clowns can't run a huddle.
3. A quarterback throws with his legs more than his arms. Squat and run. Fat quarterbacks can't avoid the rush.
4. Know your job cold. This is not a game without errors. Keep yours to a minimum. Study.
5. Know your own players. Who's fast? Who can catch? Who needs encouragement? Be precise. Know your opponent.
6. Be the same guy every day. In condition, preparing to lead, studying your plan. A coach can't prepare you for every eventuality. Prepare yourself and remember, impulse decisions usually equal mistakes.
7. Throwing the ball away is a good play. Sacks, interceptions, and fumbles are bad plays. Protect against those.
8. You must learn to manage the game. Personnel, play call, motions, ball handling, proper reads, accurate throws, play fakes. Clock, clock, clock, don't you ever lose track of the clock.
9. Passing stats and TD passes are not how you're gonna be judged. Your job is to get your team in the endzone and that's how you're gonna be judged.
10. When all around you is in chaos, you must be the hand that steers the ship. If you have a panic button, so will everyone else. Our ship can't have panic buttons.
11. Don't be a celebrity quarterback. We don't need any of those. We need battlefield commanders that are willing to fight it out every day, every week, and every season, and lead their team to win after win after win.

I would say he fails on about 8 of those.

 

[Captain-Crash]

I don't care if he fails on all of them, I love him and hate romo.

 

[CTcowboy203]

Every time these come up i can hear parcells voice saying these as i read

 

[Hawkeye19]

Yah… he is not doing great. I’d say he fails rule numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 11

 

[Risen Star]

You can't help but fail #11 playing for the Cowboys. it's unavoidable. You will be a celebrity.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Parcells doesn’t coach here anymore. Jerry’s first commandment is “get more instagram followers to expose the brand”.

 

[Risen Star]

You could obide by all 11 of these and still not be a good quarterback. This is about coaching and developing talent. If the talent isn't there this other stuff doesn't mean anything.

Let me put it this way.

"Passing stats and TD passes are not how you're gonna be judged."

Many members of this forum only see the stats and think Dak is the best thing since sliced bread.

This rule makes absolutely no sense...

9. Passing stats and TD passes are not how you're gonna be judged. Your job is to get your team in the endzone and that's how you're gonna be judged.

Uhhh, hello? To get into the endzone, you need good passing stats and accumulated TDs, unless all you plan on doing is running the ball. Good luck with that since you would need one of the best Olines and RBs.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I think he saying to avoid padding stats for selfish reasons. Use your running game, TOP, and help your defense....

Just because you personally don't understand what Parcells is saying doesn't make him wrong, AC.

You don't need good passing stats or accumulated TDs to get into the endzone.

 

[VaqueroTD]

Completely forgot about those. Nice refresh!

Dude was great! A walking sound bite.
Imagine a coach saying "Jap plays" today!?!

My favorite clip was when he was still with the Giants.
Mid game, a team physician gives his assessment on the kicker.
Something along the lines of "he's hurt but can still play" to which
The Tuna replied, "I don't need him to play, doc. I just need him to kick."

Classic!

I never said Parcells is wrong. Totally agree with everything he said, but #9 is somewhat contradictory in the sense that in order to get your team into the endzone, you do need to pass well and help score TDs, aside from running the ball into the endzone (as I previously mentioned). Maybe it could have been worded differently?

I am utterly surprised this is not 5 pages already. what's wrong with people, this was posted at 12:30 and only a handful of responses. come on now. get with it. its a Dak topic.

and TD passes? yet get your team into the endzone? sounds contradictory.
