Peter King blurb about Dak

[DoctorChicken]

It's going to be nice having an alpha qb again.

Yeah, all last year without Tony really sucked.

 

[Texas_Pete]

Public Service Announcement: Jerry drafted Dak

On a serious note, wow! There are 10-year vets that wouldn't have the guts to lead an All-Pro receiver like that. I'm speechless.

 

[The Natural]

wow

 

[Gameover]

I'm in love:

"Prescott, of course, has been a godsend. A DUI arrest in March (he was later cleared) pushed him down draft boards, and he’s been the best quarterback by far in the NFL preseason—whatever that means. His 137.8 rating and .780 accuracy rate have blown away the Cowboys. In some ways, he’s almost been too perfect. This story from training camp reflects that: In an 11-on-11 period late in practice, the offense had 10 seconds left to score, and Prescott was the quarterback with the first unit. He passed to Dez Bryant, and Bryant was supposed to out of bounds immediately so the clock would stop or go to the ground so the offense could call a timeout. But Bryant tried to score instead, was stopped, and the clock ran out. Prescott ran to him and said words to this effect: We know you’re the best receiver in the world and you MIGHT score, but we can’t take that chance. You gotta use your head and get the clock stopped. That’s a rookie, talking to Dez Bryant. And Bryant, to his credit acknowledged Prescott was right. Prescott grew a lot in the eyes of the starting offense, and the coaches, that day."

Do our damn coaches even do this?!?!?

Our coaches nor Romo. Dak and Zeke(head coaches) might be the best coaches on the team. Everybody else just sit by and let mistakes go unchallenged as if they'll automatically correct themselves on game day.

This is why I said Dak is a better field general than Tony Romo. Romo would've just pouted to himself, while Garrett just clapped!

 

[Alexander]

If true, pretty impressive from a young Rookie. You can also tell that the players respect him already. I think Dez has been vocal about him, in a positive manner, even before the injury.

That is half the battle right there. Did not hear a thing like that about Weeden, Cassel or Moore.

Dude please. Dak and Zeke are not a better player-coach than Romo at this juncture. Good grief.

Romo wouldn't of said squat if Dez did that to him. And you know it's true. Romo has put up with so much undisciplined crap over the last 10 years, Troy Aikman's head would've exploded(and I'm no fan of his) but no way he would've put up with what Romo's put up with. Romo just pouts and angrily rips at his chin strap.

Face it, Tony Romo is not a leader, he's a passer of the football. Dak Prescott is about to remind every Cowboy fan what a real field general looks like. It's been almost 20 years since we've had one in his prime, we've all hoodwinked by this fraud.

Romo was great in 2014 and other years. I got to be fare.

Whatever you say.

From afar, Cassell and Weeden didn't appear to exactly inspire confidence. Butler's comments confirmed this. You don't have to be the most talented guy but at least have that quality to rally the troops and inspire belief. Jon Kitna is a good example, even at his old age. Dak appears to also bring this to the huddle. We'll see....

Man, the Romo trolls have come out of the woodwork with this injury

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Please stop!

 

[JeffInDC]

That is a natural born leader

That was the consensus, it seems, about him coming into the draft - real LEADER. THAT'S where I think the Tebow comparison's were most accurate (not the part about them being similar passers ). It was the physical stuff (arm strength, accuracy, fundamentals) that people seemed to not be as positive about.

 

[Redball Express]

for dak to win games the TEAM is going to have to support him and do their job and do it well or we will still lose lots of games.

I agree.

The problem with this team is it uses too many excuses.

If Romo isn'the there..they can'r win.

If Dez is out..we have no juice.

This season like last year has to force the team to be a team and still win.

They utterly failed last year.

Now we see if it really hurt enough that they fight not to let it happen again.

Elliott is big and I think DAK is even bigger..

our rushing game with DAK is going to explode.

I expect him to get 1000 yds by himself..

I think nobody here has realized that yet..

DAK is a double threat and will eviscerated some defenses.

Knowing how well JG manages the game clock, I doubt he even knows what's going on.

 

[YosemiteSam]

no we just clap it up

You should see a doctor about that.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

decision making in a pinch - hearing a lot of good things on him here.

i liked drafting dak just cause the name was cool. dak attack and stuff. outside that i didn't know much about him but what i am finding, maybe he was 4th on our list, but he's ours now.

The name was what appealed to me mostly. Well, that and he had @casmith07 seal of approval.

And I really didn't want Connor Cook or Hackenberg. They scream " if you squint your eyes hard enough and tilt your head like so, they totally look like NFL quarterbacks."

 

[Gameover]

1. That will happen

2. You can say the same about every qb in history

3. The guy was 10-10 at SEATTLE without Dez and with only Witten and Zeke for 2 drives, you think the preseason greatness goes completely away because it's the regular season?

4. Well what about when Dak gets his entire crew together for four full quarters? We got a load for teams to deal with.

5. Maybe he goes completely Weeden once the lights come on. I just don't see it happening

6. 38-24 Dallas. The final score on opening day, and most of the Giants points will come in garbage time.

7. They ain't ready!

8. New era in Big D: The Twins and big Brother

 

[raithrover]

Bodes well for the season, he's not going to have any opportunity to sit back and learn.

 

[wrongway]

When you're right, and you know you're right, you should speak up regardless of how experienced you are or aren't.

true but most don't have the courage. If this true good traits shown.
