No hate on Dak, but what does he do better than Rush?

[dfense]

dak threw 4 fades like that just last year for TDS..

You know what I mean though. Don't deny it. It's the one play you need in a game at a pivotal moment and he will fail.

That was Dez's best route and Dak couldn't get it down. So long Dez.

 

[NotForLong]

Rush played within his means. He had a good offensive line and a good running game tonight. Without that his play would be average.

You said it backwards which is what is confusing everything

Rush is executing the Game Plan which allows for tge Offensive Line and Running game to perform well

No I DO NOT.. Daks the better qb hands down and sorry but Rush has thrown what 2 tds in 2 games and settled for MANY FGs. Now what??. countered and crushed, dak had 37tds and 10ints last year..that do not jag stats...

 

[blueblood70]

More excuses for Dak.How about some accountability for Dak being the worst player on the field for that game.Stop blaming the coaches.The Oline was actually pretty solid.How about Dak actually makes a play when everything isn’t perfect, maybe use your legs more.

Not an excuse absolute facts from game 1.

. . . . .

If you think the Dallas defense is for real, the smart decision is to roll with the better player, even if you think he’s only marginally better. I do not care about the salaries of either player. Dak’s contract is a sunk cost.

Where you here in 2016? . . . and if so What was your position then? . . . The same?

 

[Cboyfan4ever]

I am gonna have to disagree . . I have been keeping count ever since I have a notebook near my TV . .
The correct number is 19%

Dak is great at downfield concepts w/ his ability to read and react quickly and his superior accuracy.

 

[NotForLong]

Prescott's better at scamming kids with fake autographs.

I thought that was Tad's side gig

So Dak played well and wasn’t the worst player on the field vs. Tampa.

The problem you have here is possible 2016 all over again. If the team is winning stats don;t matter.

Post of the day

But that's the point. Dak wasn't playing well. You're just spending time on useless garbage time stats that mean nothing.

Against good teams once November arrives and the real season starts, Dak is dreadful. He's lost and overmatched, and he loses games almost single-handedly with his unwillingness to take tough throws. He's the bus driver of all bus drivers. If the receiver isn't wide open, he holds it and holds it until the pocket collapses around him. And now, he doesn't run well anymore either, so he's a sitting duck.

Opposing teams design their entire scheme against Dallas to put the ball in Dak's hands. They have no fear of him because he's ridiculously easy to defend for good defenses, who toy with him. They drop into zone coverages, put a spy on the running back, and dare Dak to throw it, which he can't do.

Dak was at his best his rookie season, and it's been downhill from there. He's 29 in his 7th season. This is what he is.

I haven't quoted a single stat???

My point is we didn't adjust. We never made an attempt at running the ball and exploiting the shell coverage Dak was seeing.

The difference between how Tampa was called vs the last 2 games is clear.

That doesn't mean Rush may not be better. It means we have to give Dak that opportunity to see how he responds.

NOT THE SAME AT ALL... dak was a young healthy and next man up winnig 11 games in row against top competition in that run, while Romo was at the end of the line too broken and he never played again, correct move. Daks in his prime under contract and hasnt done anything to lose his spot nor has Rush been that impressive to take the job..

we can revisit at the end of his deal or when it teams friendly enough to move on, this is NOT THE TIME

 

[NotForLong]

Last season vs. MINN Rush stats:

24 of 40 325 yards 60% Comp % 2 td's 1 int Dallas won 20-16 (Rush threw a game winning td with 51 seconds remaining where Rush went 7 of 10 starting from the Dallas 25 yard line)

That troupe didn't last long . . . I Like all the other "Stats" you threw in there as well

 

[CWR]

The main point of your “thesis” was you claim Dak would figure it out like Mahomes. You Dak-lovers will disrespect guys that actually won SBs and consistently throughout their careers faced heavy zone with analogies that are complete garbage to prop up Dak. Saying Dak will figure out throwing against zone coverage, like Mahomes adjusting to unique looks defenses were playing against him has no basis in actual play. Dak has ALWAYS sucked against zone.

It’s just another attempt to hoist the blame on Moore , as if the game plan is any different. Moore can’t do anything for Dak’s poor anticipation and inability to read defenses.

Once again the hater takes a leap.

My point wasn't Dak would "figure it out."

My point is he needs the opportunity with a properly called game. As in the last TWO games Rush played. Then from there the organization will hopefully play the better qb.

 

[NotForLong]

Dak's record when he throws 40+ times:

2016: 0-1

2017: 0-1

2018: 2-0

2019: 1-6

2020: 1-2

2021: 2-3

2022: 0-0

Combined for career with 40+ passes: 6-13


So let's hope Rush doesn't throw for 40+ a game as while that may look good for personal stats and earn him a big contract (Dak's formula?) it doesn't lead to team success.

Crushing them today

 

[blueblood70]

So Dak played well and wasn’t the worst player on the field vs. Tampa.

He didn't pay well Jeez but there were reason and he want the worst player, nope the WRs , OL, and play caller far worse. Zeke was the best offensive player and Moore gave up on the run . different game, different situation, different level of competition....

dak had no support and looked horrible, and? i saw that game 1 by many top qbs and they all lost game 1..

Again, blaming Moore. It’s not Moore’s fault Dak sucks against zone, including with Linehan. It’s not Moore’s fault Dak checks out of runs to throw.

Blame everybody but Dak, the guy whose been here 7 years in an offense tailored to him, not Rush. But it’s Moore’s fault for not adjusting the offense to Dak in year 7.

Because you know Mahomes, who wins SBS, playoff games and AFC championship games whenever he’s playing..

Come on man. We all saw that game. In no way was Rush a gun slinger. In no way has he proved he can keep up with a high octane offense. Yall want Dak to fail so bad you have to exaggerate everything.
