Keep hearing certain people in the media say Dak is succeeding because of the RB and O-line

[CowboysFanSince88]

Because 3rd and short you typically get one on one coverage on the outside. you only get so many opportunities for the deep ball in a game. And more often than not you need to hit on a big gainer at some point in the NFL to win

And those big gainers can be on 1st and 10 or 2nd and 6

The Romonians are probably thinking that Romo would have been 27-27 yesterday and far-exceeded Dak's 141 Quarterback rating (actually, Dak would have been 24-27 if Dez could catch the ball these days). They also believe that Dak padded his TD numbers by unfairly choosing to throw to guys that were 10 yards open in the endzone yesterday. In the meantime, most of us are extremely happy to have a team clicking and on their way to playoff success unless Jerry screws it up.

Who cares? You need a team to succeed. Payton Manning doesn't win that Super Bowl without that defense. Same can be said for Russell Wilson.

Exactly, Dak has been given the keys to a Mercedes, the offensive line and the RB is the Mercedes. Dak's job is to take care of the Mercedes and get the most out of it. So you can look at the Mercedes and say that's a nice thing to have but you also got to give credit to the person who keeps it in good shape and gets the most out of it.

I feel it's disrespectful and diminishing to Dak to say his success is because of the oline and running game. Cuz if he was a bad QB then he could still lose us games behind that oline and running game. Dak is getting the most out of the players he is playing with and he deserves his respect for that. I mean Escobar caught a TD yesterday. Escobar!!! That alone should put Dak in the MVP voting

 

[CowboyGil]

no slight to him, but I kind of doubt we'd be 7-1 with Kellen Moore.

Yes they can, but it becomes a lot harder on 1st and 10. More often than not defenses are playing base defense on 1st down. you need a safety to bite on play action, a broken play, etc. 3rd and short you typically get better looks down field.



Now with how this cowboys team is constructed you can play conservative ,go for the 1st, and be very successful. that is what is meant by dak is aided by this o line and running game. Romo was the same way in 14. It's a different game than a lot of QBs are playing.

Then why did Romo throw a long pass to Dez on 4th and 2 vs GB in the divisional playoff game instead of keeping the drive alive?

I agree completely until the last sentence. A Hall of Fame TE drew so much attention that Escobar didn't have a player within 5 yards of him. Then Dak threw a pass that I could have thrown. That actually makes the bus driver argument more than it defeats it.

 

[Proof]

No offense, but you are insane.

There is no way he'd be the 2nd rated QB in QBR with the Eagles offensive talent.

This isn't meant to slight Prescott or call him overrated. But the fact is, it makes it easier for Prescott to succeed because of the talent we have on offense. Anyone suggesting otherwise is just too Dak'd up IMO.

can you name any of the receivers he threw to in college?

 

[Proof]

Not many teams have a foundation to work with for a 4th rd QB.

Most #1 pick QBs are going to teams that are rebuilding like the Rams and the Iggles and Denver.

Here in Dallas, we have some things in place to work with.

That is not a negative.

Paxton lynch looked terrible when he came in, and that's the defending champs with an all world defense, two star receivers and formidable running game.

There is actually a video floating around where he explains it but the summary is, believe it or not, the other team actually knows you need 2 yards as well.

Wait. Wait! Don't put him on ignore! I was going to ask him where Romonian was and if Cabo was its capital! Wait!!!

Now you wouldn't be able to read the reply.

I know. I guess he saw they were 1 on 1 vs Dez?

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

But if it wasn't complete that meant the game was over since it was 4th down making it a dumb pass

Dak would never had made that pass

What does that have to do with what he's doing in the NFL? College football is a totally different animal.

1 he had a man open
2 you needed a TD, not a fg
3 GB was bringing pressure, with no deep safety
4 written was covered
5 there was a man open right side due to the cb blitzing, but due to the blitz there was no throwing lane, romo also never looked to that side.

Defenses are aware it was 4th and 2. There are things they can do to take away the underneath routes.

sorry I assumed it was clear. He was a beast in college as well, doing similar things to now with a weak supporting cast and guys you'd hardly qualify as weapons. I was legit asking if you could name one of them. Whether the nfl and college football are different is irrelevant when just using it as a supporting argument that he's already proven he can play at a high level with lower tier skill positions.

False just watched it on youtube. romo had a clear running lane to the first down on his left side

It's actually totally relevant. Competition is much greater in the NFL.

So would the Philadelphia Eagles be 7-1 right now if you flipped Prescott for Wentz?

Lol he had a cb coming untouched at him and a lb locking in on him. A Run would have looked like the Seattle fumbled extra point play .

The CB was coming from the opposite and Romo had plenty of time to run 2 yds instead of pass to Dez who was not open
