Twitter: Jason Garrett on Dak Prescott's defining moment

Seven said:
Are you kidding me?

Every fan of football, that isn't a Cowboy fan, has a "vested" interest in their failure..... Dak and/or Romo.

It doesn't matter, bro....

That's not what I was talking about. Please read it again.

He simply makes a lot of really good plays and makes very few mistakes. It's as if he's played in the league for 10 years. He looks polished, poised, confident and he has a way about him that the other players feed off.

You can tell he is genuinely liked and respected by all around him. I don't fear him making terrible plays or throws.

We really struck gold with this guy.

When I think of his defining play, it's either the TD to Witten in OT, or the slide v. MIN where he thought he was putting the game away. Maybe it's weird to think of the slide, since he ended up short, but he did so much on that play that was so smart: tucking it when he had to, the athletic play to even get close to the marker, the obvious decision to stay in bounds, and then the slide not to take a hit. Just smart decisions, with very little time to decide, all around.

And the best thing is, he's got a lot of room to get a lot better. In 2-3 years, he's probably going to be scary-good.

That's not what the quote was about. You were specifically saying there are those hoping Dak hits a wall or that the playoffs will be too much for him. Why would anyone want that?? I personally think Romo is the better player but would never hope for Dak to suck it up for us in the playoffs.

I'm tired of the over reaction by some on this board who equate fans who think Romo is the better player as hoping Dak crashes and burns! Just because some think Romo is our best QB doesn't mean we want Dak to fail!

I am absolutely giddy that we have Dak and love this kid, on and off the field. He is the leader of this team and I would love for him to take us all the way.

I honestly think there are too many people that get worked up over the fact that anyone could possibly think Romo is better than Dak and just have the mentality that if you think Romo is better = you hate Dak and want him to fail.

I think there are those that want Dak to hit a wall, just so maybe they put Romo in.
If Romo were not here or able to play, then those same people would want Dak to not hit a wall.

I dont think all Romo fans are like that though.

As for Tony being "better", that is not accurate, he is better in some ways, and in some ways Dak is better.
They are very different type QB's, and so it is hard to compare them.

If Dak does hit a wall in playoff game, I wouldnt be opposed to seeing Romo, but keep in mind, that if the defense is shutting down
the offense with Dak , they might do the same to Romo.

Sorry, but that's a pretty lame "defining" moment. Talk about hyperbole. :rolleyes:

lol, apparently Dak's defining 'moment' is everything he's done since arriving in Dallas. I would say the comeback against Philthy really turned some heads. The fact that he could play so poorly for 3 quarters and then turn it all around at crunch time could be seen as a defining moment,,, so far. Maybe another defining moment is coming in the playoffs.

Tony had a few of those in his career, one of my favorites was against Buffalo where Folk kicked a game winning 53 yarder (twice). Romo had several interceptions but still pulled it all together for a spectacular comeback. The Bills fans in the stands had been mugging for the camera and yukking it up,,, they were so sad at the end. :D

Four "well" references. Garrett is in playoff form. Razor sharp and on point.

Romo may be the better quarterback. But Dak is a born-leader of men. I'm not sure what's better to have in the playoffs, but as a fellohw former soldier, I would go with the latter.
 
I'm looking forward to Dak being REALLY hated by non-Cowboys fans.

America's Team found another stud QB... you mad, bros?

Everyone loved Romo, the longshot Cinderella story, in 2006. Then a year later, the hate started pouring in when he proved to be the real deal.

You're a former soldier. That's cool man. Thank you for serving and the sacrifices you made for our country. I appreciate that.
 
My defining moment of Dak was in Green Bay at the end of the first half. When he went 90 some yards in 30 seconds for a touchdown in the 2 minute drill. I said to myself we really got someone special here. Given the fact that it was only the 2nd time in 50 years we won at Green Bay was also icing on the cake. For a rookie to go into Green Bay and not blink was the moment I felt that he's going to be a force to be reckoned with.

Dak is on course to be one of, if not the best rookie QB ever to come along. I can only imagine how his reputation will blossom if he manages to win a playoff game or two, much less the, dare I say, Super Bowl . . . he'd be the toast of the town and perhaps the entire country as well. From the looks of things his future is all ahead of him, as he promises to do nothing but improve.

Since 1983, I think only 4 QB's have gone to even a Conference Championship with their team, and if we can win one game, he'll only be the second in the NFC i'm pretty sure. Those QB's are Flacco (AFC), Sanchez(AFC... Jets carried his lifeless body to victory), Roethlisberger (AFC), and Dieter Brock (NFC, Rams, got to Conference game beating us)

They all lost. No rookie QB has even made it to the Super Bowl, much less won one.

Even just reaching the Conference Championship is crazy. I'm too lazy to do the math but that's like 132 teams that have made the game since 1983 and a total of 4 of them had rookie QB's. That's elite status in itself.

Reaching the Super Bowl would be the pinnacle though. He'd be the sole rookie. On top of his regular season stats, there would be no argument that anyone could make, unless he happens to have like a 35 rating in a game and we still win.

There actually are people on here who feel this way. Don't take it personally. Most know that Romo is better at this stage of his career, but there's a small group who want Dak to fail so they can see Romo. You can see it in their posts. If it doesn't apply to you, that's great. But it does apply to certain posters here.
