Let's talk about Dak

[Verdict]

There is good and bad when it comes to Dak, and there is probably more good than bad. But let's talk about the rubber meeting the road with him. He must have an above average line in front of him to be successful. That takes him out of the elite category by itself.

His pocket awareness and ball security inside the pocket are both below average. I am not sure that is going to improve much.

He also has a tendency to over throw open receivers on the deep ball, especially Gallup. That's points left off the board.

Dak has proven to be a winner, but all of the forgoing SIGNIFiCANTLY limit his value and upside. If we are going to keep Dak around, then we must ensure that the OL remains a priority. He also needs a stud RB so we better find an acceptable backup for Zeke.

All of the above need to be seriously considered when Dak gets his next contract. We also need to be looking for a backup that may eventually supplant Dak if these factors don't improve over time.

Keep an eye out for Carr if he gets cut by the Raiders, as no one is taking on that contract. He was playing at a pro bowl level and the Raiders sucked the life out of him just like it did Amari. He may still have some life left in him too.

Man what I wouldn't give to see this team with Kyler Murray on it.

I agree with Kyler Murray.

Love me some Kyler, but hes not an NFL QB. Give me Baker...

According to you, Dak is limited who needs a good Oline, but you would instead love a 5'11" Kyler Murray?


What do you think would happen to such a short Kyler Murray behind this Oline? Heck, what do you think would have happened to Romo behind this Oline?

Bold is junk straight up. That is all record being attributed to him dancing in your head. If you see him play most games you'd see an avg at best QB. Sure as heck isn't no franchise QB. How many franchise qb's week after week defensive coordinators aren't even worried about him as a threat but the running back? Can't be many but since I mainly focus on the Boys maybe it is. Dak is good enough to win with a loaded team but any competent QB can do that the special ones supposed to do more. Not every game either because that's unrealistic but I don't trust Dak to do it often enough. He is too 50/50 with good and bad play. He needs to be more 80/20 good and bad play and he isn't close to that now. This he's young stuff is getting old quick too lol.

Do you think today's Romo could have done better behind this Oline, no stud TE and only 1 true stud WR that was barely picked up halfway through the season?

Yea I have no doubt he would have done better. He did better for years and actually won games for us. Comparing Dak and Tony is crazy, Dak is not 1/2 the QB Tony was

Cmon bro. Kyler Murray? So you want Tavon Austin at QB? Dude won't last at the NFL level.

TODAY'S Romo.

I bet Dak will lead the Cowboys to more than 2 career playoff wins .

There should be no new contract unless its for a back-up pay check.....sorry Dak is a Dud and will never be able to lead our offense to the any feats of glory.....not that's reality.....

Now if Jerry gives him 100 million + contract and keeps insisting hes the "One" then Boys fan its going to be one gloomy ride the next couple of years and maybe more as our current talent will be wasted....live and let live I say.....as with Jerry all is possible...

Haha go talk to the players about not worrying about Dak.

MVP season from romo with this RB and WR we have

Yes

 

[kumizi]

Do you think today's Romo could have done better behind this Oline, no stud TE and only 1 true stud WR that was barely picked up halfway through the season?

who knows for sure? I can tell you one thing.

There were several times a game when I watched Tony Romo and went "HOLY **** how did he make that play?"

There are several times a game when I watch Dak and go "HOLY **** how can a NFL QB miss that throw?"

Dak has his strengths in that he doesn't throw as many picks and can use his legs/size to run some read option. But if you can say with a straight face that Dak is anywhere near as good as Romo making tough throws from the pocket with the pass rush bearing down on him, I'm gonna have to tell you to get your eyes checked.

When Jerry gives Dak that new $100 million dollar contract this offseason, will you finally start following another team and go to their team's forums? Yes???

 

[LovinItAll]

Yea I have no doubt he would have done better. He did better for years and actually won games for us. Comparing Dak and Tony is crazy, Dak is not 1/2 the QB Tony was

1. Prescott has won more games in his 45 starts than Romo won in his last 45, so Dak wins more games
2. Dak has won more games in his first three seasons than Romo did, and Romo had the advantage of being in the league for two years before his first start.
3. Not that winning games is always on the QB. There were some 8-8 seasons that Romo carried the team on his shoulders, even if it was to mediocrity. I'm sure Dak will do the same.
4. Romo would've been on the sidelines watching if he played behind this O line.

I was always a Romo fan, just as I'm a Dak fan. I was also an Aikman and Staubach fan. Never loved White, though he had some good seasons.

Everyone calling for Dak to be replaced because 'anyone can run this offense', I offer to you:

Weeden, Moore, Cassell, and Orton, all dumpster fires.

I'm talking about TODAY'S ROMO. The old and broken down Romo that many still wanted in 2016. You honestly believe that Romo would have physically survived behind this Oline and with lesser weapons?

And none of those guys had Zeke. Right now Zeke is the Offense. Dak is a very average QB. His accuracy is absolutely horrible. Can he get better well we would hope so far he has not
