Is Dak Clutch

[PAPPYDOG]

Most of Romos years he had to deal with horrible offensive lines and up and down defensive play. Does anyone doubt that Romo would have gotten more out of last years squad?

We win the SB in 2016 if Romo was the QB.
No way he only scores 13 points in the 1st 3 quarters of the game like Dakko did.....
It would have been a classic shoot-out between QB.
By the way, when was the last time Dakko had a classic QB shoot-out game?
Anyone?
P.S. Philly don't count as they were playing with their back up QB

 

[NFCBeasts]

As I stated multiple times prior, because folks like to re-package old claims in a new form, Dak as considered clutch his first 3 years. In reality, it was a team built on game management for the QB, while the OL and RG wore down opposing defenses to the point Dak, in the 4th quarter could sit back in the pocket all day and make easy throws.
Ive posted this article from 2020 multiple times as evidence that Dak in reality is not a QB that performs in the clutch the more and more responsibilities were placed on his shoulders as a PASSING QB and this team couldn’t rely on an all-pro blocking and RG to keep the focus of the defense.

Within 2 years, this claim Dak was “clutch” was starting to get exposed in the press as a myth. Also, his struggles against zone began to show as teams no longer forced into situations of playing so much man coverage as a counter to the RG.

First of all, the article clearly states the baseline that articles were using to define clutch as 4th quarter comeback were basically bogus.



The article then proceeds to refute this claim of clutch be saying:



Dak was not even in LEAGUE AVERAGE category when the team needed to rely on his arm to push the ball downfield. What these stats indicate also, is the fact despite having the best OL in the league, his sack rate went up to higher than the league average meaning he was holding onto the ball too long. The fact his INT was lower then the league average pointed out he doesn’t take risks and goes into a complete shell.

The experimentation process this year of “just letting it rip” let to some of the most bone-headed INTs regularly you’d ever witness. As this article points out,



Now look at this stat:

So let’s stop pretending Romo and Dak were playing in the same situation of the same offense. As a bunch of us “haters” pointed out. Dak can’t throw from a 3-5–7 drop-back. consistently, so they have to limit the playbook. And while the 7 step drop-back has gradually faded out in the modern NFL, Dak’s usage was still way below league level and this not taking into account the 3-5 drop-back. What Dallas does with Dak is they do drop-back is from shotgun, not under Center, which Dak is horrible out. This in itself is problematic because opposing defenses know Dallas is limited when they see Dak under Center.

Some people here think he is a HOFer already

Seems to me you are forgetting that Seahawk playoff game where he completed a pass in the 4th quarter!

How could you over look that!?

 

[T-RO]

How about we get to the conclusion of the OP's question?

Dak, like 99.9% of quarterbacks:
If there is massive pressure from the opposing line...or no open receivers...occasionally can look flustered and lost. Make bad mistakes.

Dak, along with other premium quarterbacks:
Can turn it on under pressure, tied or behind...and can magically lift his team and deliver under oppressive odds, and great distress

If Dak had greater mobility to dodge and extend plays it would help. He doesn't. If Dak had legitimate receiving weapons that he lacked in 2022 it would help. He will.

I see you were on another one of your nonsensical rant moods last night

No one hates you. For the 150th time Romo and Dak are the same qb failed by the same idiot in press box

Romo only knew 1 way to play and that was nonstop . Take risks go for the jugular and there were times it worked for him and times it didn’t

Usually at worst possible moment. His best year was when Murray was the focal point of the offense

Now I’ll ask you not to quote me with your rambling nonsense with things like I hate you because while your Romo takes are annoying and your zeke takes are not as bad but at times are similar you are far from the worst presence on this site

You are beginning to show up a lot in their threads though

I was just having some fun. Of course you don;t hate me. You do ride me hard about Romo.

Not sure why telling the truth about Romo annoys you so much. That's what I was talking about. I wonder if Packers fans hate Favre as much...same kind of play.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

What does Romo have to do with anything about Dak's performance?

Most often it's because when people criticize Dak....certain well known suspects scream "BUT BU BU BU ROMO!"

truth is about perspective. Youre truth may not be everyone elses. Your perceived being rode hard is more about youre frequebcy of involvement in all things Romo. You have made it your schtick to engage with literally anyone that disgarees with your take. You say youre protecting his unfair choker label but I think if you start to review all the people you engage with on the subject its more than just that

You are over sensisitive to all things TR. As far as favre goes he does have at least a SB and multiple NFCG's to look at. I do however bet his fans were quite upset that he lost the 90s cowboys over and over every year. It was the hurdle he had to overcome much like the current cowboys and Aaron rodgers or more recently the niners.

to be quite honest Im sick of hearing bout TR he been gone for 7 years and didnt do dyk when he was here much like our current QB. Both failed by the dumbarse GM. The fact that he is so revered on this site is beyond me. Maybe because he was finally a decent QB after years of failure after aikman.I just dont get it. Im not real certain why Dak is so revered here by some either. I dont think he gets the same amout of lattitude that Romo got but it is what it is.

He still the QB here so he has the chance that Tony dont but Im sick of hearing bout both of them. wasted bandwidth

We win the SB in 2016 if Romo was the QB.

P.S. Philly don't count as they were playing with their back up QB

It would have been a classic shoot out until the last drive where Romo would throw the game sealing interception.

We don't win the SB with Romo in 2016 because Romo did not mentally have what it takes to win a Super Bowl.

Papsmear is talking ish about us. Sounds like he's nervous about Dak this upcoming 2023 season.

Yeah he’s talking about head stones he’s nervous about something lol.

or most probably Romo chokes the game away just like he did against the Giants in 2007 being #1 seed, with best OL in football. at home and he couldn't score more than 17 points. he got lucky in his only playoff win, when the refs didn't call a pass interference and saved dallas losing to detroit at home. Romo was a choker.

and it hilarious...you call Dak out for not having won a shootout game, then disqualify the game that he did...that's call goalpost on Wheels. hilarious

 

[CowboysRule]

Oh how I miss Romo. Yeah, he had some issues early in his career with picks at the end of games. But at that point he really was the offense and if he didn't try to force some things we were going away with the L anyway. Later on, when he actually had some talent he was great at bringing us back from behind. I always felt we were in it. With Dak, it's basically game over. The guy can't make it happen when we really need him. He'll throw the short easy passes until time runs out.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

To say dak is on the same level as Troy is the stupidest crap I've ever heard. Dumbest mother chuckers ever.

of course Dak is better than Romo...everybody knows that

Oh, look, wannabe tough guy trying to hide his extremely vulgar language.

 

[FanofJerry]

Howie Rosman...the Couch GM's Hero and Trailblazer for kicking QB's to the curb....

Signed a non-winning Super Bowl QB to 5 years $255M.

Is he smart or stupid or in a super position of both?

we will find out in 6 months if he's clutch.

Dak, like 99.9% of quarterbacks:
If there is massive pressure from the opposing line...or no open receivers...occasionally can look flustered and lost. Make bad mistakes.

So take that a stage further and you get to paying for an elite O-Line and relying on a lesser or Rookie QB.

I don’t know why he does that. Just goes in an emotional rant about something you didn’t say.

Give me an example. or 5...since I do it all the time...should be easy!
