It didn't really change anything. We already knew from earlier in the season that if you give him an eternity in the pocket, no pressure whatsoever and 150 yards from Zeke, that he can dink and dunk up and down the field. It's what happens when he doesn't get those conditions that worries me. This had to be by far, the most check downs I've seen in an NFL game this year.
And we still settled for field goals.

Exactly what was special about this game? I saw him running around in the backfield a few times and throwing the ball with bad mechanics, couldn't read a blitz to save his life and allowed free blitzers to come at him.

The play where he allowed that free blitzer to his left and he had to throw a short pass to Witten was terrible. You can't allow that to happen, not even as a rookie. that's not even bothering to read a D, you might as well run out there with the playclock at 30 seconds and snap it.

This was by no means a terrible game, but let's calm down. It was an okay game, he had some good passes.

I'm sorry but games like today highlight how much I want to try Romo. Dak completed a heap of short passes as a game manager. The bucs dline was too small to challenge our online and that gave Dak time.

Dak was fantastic but still hasn't shown he can open the field up with the deep ball or pick up the blitz accurately. If we had been playing Giants.. we would have lost again. I'm not sure you can ride Zeke all the way to the sb but we will find our.

Chris was mentioning that Tampa went with their bigger DL because of Zeke, while they normally throw out their quicker pass rushers.

And he also pointed out how the LBs were not dropping deep on passing downs, because they were so keyed into Zeke.

The pass to Dez over the middle in the third and long, the LB basically ceded Dez over the middle for the checkdowns to Zeke..

You lose credibility every time you speak because you are sold out to your agenda. Now you're just entertainment. :laugh:

Please destroy your internet device. Seriously. This is now getting ridiculous. He wasn't simply checking down. Big throw to Butler.. Dez sitting in zones... Boot plays to Witten.. There were actually only a few check downs. Big difference between "checking down" and intermediate passing. You don't know football and are an absolute embarrassment.

You make me laugh because you troll every post about Dak and Tony.

It's like watching a used car salesman at the bar talk about astrophysics.
You make me laugh because, one you're always wrong, and two everything you know about football can be squeezed into a thimble. You finished yet?

He literally checked down the entire game. You Dak slobberers are starting to get embarrassing at this point. He has an eternity to throw, surveys the field and dumps it. Freaking Witten had 10 catches for 52 yards. You're an embarrassment to this board.
 

Go Big D!

Let's just hope we don't have to play the giants again lol

But he had a great night. Nobody should take that from him.

He's still going to experience those rookie struggles and It's going to come down to which Dak shows up. If it's the one that played tonight, we can compete. If it's the one that played the previous few games, then we are going to struggle along with him.

But can we please stop being stupid with zeke??
We aren't winning unless he's running!

It's ironic that when the game looked to be going the other way, everybody started bashing Linehan for calling passes and screaming for Zeke to save the day.. they also were blaming Linehan for the 'checkdowns' in the second half..

You and Super_Kanstandya will be on the same bus as Tony when he is shipped out of Dallas.
