Let's do this again - Dak

[Eddie]

Romo will not make it past 3 plays.

 

[Oh_Canada]

I keep seeing people harp on this interception thing. Dak could easily have been picked 5 times so far this year.

Bg picks like Fitzpatrick and you are a marginal player then its a real problem, but if you are a player the caliber of Romo its being aggressive and within the offense. Just like Manning and bree's who are turnover machines, but its within an aggressive offensive system.

Stop spewing garbage..PFF ranked Dak first with no interceptable balls through the first three weeks. Maybe one today but eventually it happens to everyone.

Total utter garbage.

Btw, he could have four more TD throws as well.

 

[HappyOnions]

I just don't understand the thought process of some people...

If Dak is developing great chemistry with his teammates and more importantly, winning... why on earth would you want to mess with that?

If you never throw the ball to a covered guy, you will never throw an interception. You will also very likely be on pace for 12 TDs.

yes he could and that along with the possible interceptions doesnt make him better or worse. He is a good player and handling things well. a few int or another td or two would not change that.

The cowboys have never opened the season without throwing an int in the first four games, so if the int thing is the key judgmental stat that means Dak is better than any cowboys qb ever.

maybe that will help you see how foolish this is.

 

[Idgit]

Of course Romo is the better player overall..that's different than being the better player for this team

I'm not sure that distinction is accurate, but either way, he's also the better QB for this team.

At this point, though, I'd prefer to just let it play out and see how much Dak progresses between now and whenever Romo is ready and evaluate the position then.

I keep seeing people harp on this interception thing. Dak could easily have been picked 5 times so far this year.

and my response to it is so what if he had? If Eric Reid catches the simple INT thrown right to him on the first drive and SF goes down the field and scores how does it change the game? How does it change how good Dak has played?

It doesn't and Dak with or without INT has played well. This idea that Romo doesnt protect the ball is pretty foolish. With Romo its a more aggressive passing game.

Bill parcells once told Phil Simms if he wasn't throwing INT he wasn't trying hard enough, be aggressive take shots. Its not the biggest negative in the world.

Now if you are throwing picks like Fitzpatrick and you are a marginal player then its a real problem, but if you are a player the caliber of Romo its being aggressive and within the offense. Just like Manning and bree's who are turnover machines, but its within an aggressive offensive system.

When were the other 4 times he almost threw a pick? You can say that about alll QBs. I saw Wentz against Pitt and in the half alone that I watched he could have been picked twice. That argument is moot

 

[Little Jr]

Romo will and should start. I wish week week 8 would hurry and get here so we can end this debate. Lol

 

[lwehlers]

well we will see what dak has in the next two games. I like our chances against the bengals but the packers in greenbay now that might be trouble. I really like how dak is controlling the offense right now.

its not moot and yes you can say it about everyone.

Point being that no one can understand is Dak not throwing int is not what is making him a good player. Its an easy shiny object to point to but its not where he is playing so well. He has got away with a few passes that easily could have been picked, he has thrown a few medicine balls and missed some open wr...my point is so what.

he is a good player and obsessing over this int thing is foolish.

 

[Trouty]

I'm not sure that distinction is accurate, but either way, he's also the better QB for this team.

I think the evaluation is due once Romo has actually gotten back in and played some ball, a few games at least -- unless it's clearly evident he is gone as the way of the buffalo... but you're spot on Idgit. (As always)

Dak mania is real, and I'm not about to jump in front of this avalanche at this point, so I chose this little thread to say my piece lol

 

[slick325]

Right now Dak has better ability than Romo. Availability.

Good post @theranchsucks...that is coming from an unabashed Romo guy. You have to be available. That applies to all players. Prescott is also performing so it isn't like he's just a warm body out there...that bodes well for the future of the position should he continue to develop and improve and stay healthy.

Hopefully Romo is able to show the most important ability a player can have once he returns.

 

[Trouty]

well we will see what dak has in the next two games. I like our chances against the bengals but the packers in greenbay now that might be trouble. I really like how dak is controlling the offense right now.

Those are gonna be some fun games to watch and see how Dak handles them, won't it!?

 

[Boyzmamacita]

good for them, go back and watch each game yourself and get back to me. The giants had repeated chances and didn't catch any, especially the tipped balls. Same thing in washington.

Protecting the ball is important but you are making simpleton examples of it. If Dak had been picked by Reid today it does not change the game or how good Dak has played.

I agree it would not change how good Dak has played. The no interception thing is overrated, but it's a nice record for him to have if he can get it. He also isn't hurting us by not throwing interceptions.

of course not.

 

[NorthwestDallas40]

Everyone wants to argue who the better player is...it's a pretty stupid argument if you ask me...no crap Romo is better than Dak at a lot of things..a lot of things that if you are a simpleton, would easily equate to being a better player / better qb for the team...

Let me explain to you why that's not the case...aside from Romo being injury prone...

The real case for Dak is that he fits the style of the team much better..

Less negative plays
Gets rid of the ball quicker
Takes less sacks
Protects the ball better
Keeps the team ahead of the chains

This is why Dak is better for this team than Romo

Romo can read defenses better
Romo can throw more accurately
Romo can disect a defense better

But at the end of the day...give me the guy who does the first list of things better...especially for this team

To me, it is all about Dak's ability (and more importantly, the threat) to leave the pocket and run for a first down on third down. Other than Beas and Dez, we don't have players that can get open quickly. If those two guys are covered, Romo is usually trying to spin/slide within the pocket to buy time. Sometimes that works, sometimes he takes a sack. Whereas Dak can just take off and run for 5 yards and move the chains.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

If you never throw the ball to a covered guy, you will never throw an interception. You will also very likely be on pace for 12 TDs.

Butler was covered in the end zone, not blanketed but covered. Dak threw a perfect ball. Butler dropped it. There have been other dropped TDs too. I think Dak has played it pretty conservative, but his stats would be better if guys catch the ball.

 

[Oh_Canada]

yes he could and that along with the possible interceptions doesnt make him better or worse. He is a good player and handling things well. a few int or another td or two would not change that.

maybe that will help you see how foolish this is.

So which throws see you referring too that could have been picked off? It's like you just picked out a random number out your head and used it, which is the epitome of foolish.

One last thing, no one said he was greatest anything, can people not be pleased with the progress of a young QB?

uhh So you think I am down on him or something?

I can go back and grab the plays if you want, going all the way back to the preseason where guys dropped balls but why would I do that? you will just change the argument to something else.

I like shiny new things because they are shiny is what this thread is really saying.
