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

A hispanic midget, a gimp, and a blockhead walk into a bar, and the bartender says, "AC what can I get you dak and zeke to drink"?

Anyone that thinks Dak situation is similar to Romo's is beyond reasoning and knows little about the game besides "fantasy football stats". Why most people don't take certain posters seriously.

Also, Romo gets the media attention of being a turnover machine in the 4th quarter and the sheep's eat it all up. During his career his 4th quarter and OT "stats if you want to talk stats" he was one of if not the best 4th quarter quarterbacks during his playing time. People like Brady, Rivers and etc had more game ending INT then romo on certain years

"On certain years" = "cherry picking".

There's only one stat that separates Romo and real elite QBs and that is winning Super Bowls. Compare those stats and see how well Romo stands up.

Neither Romo nor Dak are worth defending as both are guys who are not elite and never will be.

Is Parcells back? Then who cares.

Number 11 is outdated. The NFL has pretty much forced the QB to be celebrities and faces of the league.

Can't argue with you rankings at all.. almost exactly how I'd see them.
1. A: One thing Dak does well is the off field stuff and lack of drama. Couldn't ask for more.
2. B: Dak is a good leader, but I do think at times he doesn't take his job seriously enough and he doesn't seem 'upset' enough when things are going south.
3. B: Dak has had poor footwork his whole career.. has worked on it but poor.. having said that.. he is strong through the core and has stood up through a couple of ripper tackles
4. F: Too many errors. Fails to read the field. Often throws into bad spots. Fails to avoid the oppo best CB etc etc.
5. C-: I might have given him a C or even B.. but C- is fair.. he has misused so many of his own receivers and has alienated more than one WR
6. F: Never been consistent. One week superstar, next week can't move the chains at all. Makes bad decisions under pressure.
7. F: Clearly leading interceptions despite missing 5 games.. eeek
8. D-: I'm thinking of the woeful clock management in both SF playoff games.. just bad. Also too many audibles out of run plays. I'd even downgrade this to an E.
9. D: Gets waaaay too pass happy near the endzone, chases stats. We have lost games because he won't do the easy thing.
10. D: I'd almost go an F for this one. The panic often starts with Dak.. and he sure as heck continues it too. Absolute panic merchant.
11. C: Hard for a Dallas QB not to be a celebrity.. I'd probably even give a B at a push.

It doesn't paint a pretty picture. 7 years on but I'm still wondering why so many got sucked into the Dakmania. I really just don't get it. There is no way you could rank this guy as elite... I really just do not get it.

Cowboy fans, and the coaches, fell in love with our rookie Dak who had the luxury of an insanely good O-line, and, at the time, the best running back in the league. Dak didn't have to do everything because we could run the ball down their throats. The running game was such a threat that defenses had to sell out with 8 man fronts, and even then it was hard to stop. And that opened up huge passing lanes. Dak didn't have to make pinpoint accurate throws. He just had to get the ball there with decent timing. We won game after game with Dak, and he rarely threw picks. It looked like we had done a draft steal.

In reality, once the team needed Dak to pass more, and especially to read defenses more, his huge weaknesses showed up, and it was ugly. Other teams figured out his weaknesses, and especially how to bait him into making bad throws and picks.

What we really had in 2016 was a decent backup rookie quarterback who excelled because the system was so perfect around him. In reality, we had a much better quarterback sitting on the bench and who should have gotten his starting job back as soon as he was healthy. He would have given us a much better chance to in in the playoffs than Dak. We could have felt great with our QB situation because Romo still had plenty of talent and read defenses way better than Dak, and we finally had an absolutely superb running game to help him. Dak had proven to be a much, much better backup then the likes of Weeden or Cassel, but he had played so well in that system that he looked like the guy. He looked like someone who should replace Romo. And it set up a time bomb for Jerry to throw way too much money his way, hurting us in the cap, preventing us from being aggressive in free agency, and making us lose excellent players. This time bomb set up awful games where Dak got exposed as a QB who's a solid backup, but should never have been made the starter.

"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.

Agreed. Think Troy Aikman.
