Dak still isn't throwing the sorts of 25 yards down the middle throws that true elite quarterbacks make. But the thing is that we have an offensive line that doesn't hold and doesn't give up negative plays, at least against the bad teams we've played so far. With an offense like that, a guy who is really accurate in the 8-12 yard range is tremendously effective, because you're never having to go 3rd and 12. That's great for now. We'll see as we move on.

If you ignore the ones he's already made sure in that case he has also thrown for 40 touchdowns in my dream land

I took it as if Beasley was almost apologizing for not getting into the endzone for Daks 1st passing TD.........

Here's the play:

It's open to interpretation since we can't hear what Beas is saying, but my guess is that he's fired up for the throw and catch that they just made happen. I took Beas pointing to Dak as saying "damn that was a hell of a throw, you are the man" or something along those lines. And also maybe a little bit of, "Damn I wish I could've gotten in for you." I could be wrong.

Edit: Damn, that throw was a beauty!

If you count his 2 running TDs his QB rating on the year goes from 93 to just over 100. That's crazy for a rookie 4th round pick.

Neither does Russell Wilson. Stop sounding like a back in the day old man. The job gets done either way.

Dak played very well today, but Ive been saying it for several weeks now and I think most people are blinded by the 3 fairly good (all in all) performances from Dak thus far - the coaching staff is putting him in the best possible place to succeed. Plays designed for his strengths, not running the whole offense...if you've noticed, its all been short stuff. Not a lot of deep shots or intermediate throws that require more timing down the field. I feel like once defenses really start trying to take away the Dak n Dunk as one poster put it, we'll start to see some of those rookie warts.

No rookie QB is going to keep this up (or what Wentz is doing, for that matter). Even the great ones struggle.

I still think that when Romo is ready to come back, he'll come back as the starter. Dak would have to be having the greatest rookie QB season in NFL history to match typical Romo output.

I think Beasley was upset he didnt score, and was pointing to Dak that he would get it next time. that's how i took it.

On the second score of Dallas, the field goal, Dak put it right on the money for Butler which was a clear PI on the Bears DB.

He probably should have had another TD on that drive.. He was absolutely killing the Bears in the first half.

Really impressive.
Even though it was against two of the league's worst defenses, there is NO denying that he has looked sharp.

That 2 game rating of 113 should help put in perspective how well Tony played his last full season, as that QB rating is almost identical to what he put up for the entire season.

So now his actual rating is all the way up to 93 for the season.

Whatever happens, it's looking more and more like the QB position will be in good hands going forward.

The offense is too talented to take anything away. If you keen in on Beasley (LOL), we will beat you with Dez or T-Will. This offense is running beautiful under Dak, and it's reminiscent of our 2014 offense.

Next week against SF will be fun to watch because SF has speed and young talent that might make our 1 on 1 matchups difficult, however if Dak performs well I don't see a team stopping our offense.
