I think he was fine, had some struggles early but got into it later.

its why im a huge advocate of us using more read option stuff early in games, it helps dak get into rhythm. Very encouraged that dak has looked a lot better running this year.

We've simply got to come out the gait strong.

I think our o-line is doing WAY better, especially in the middle..helping both Dak and RBs run better.

When I give my opinion that a certain area of Dak's play is "suspect", and I can paragraphs of ranting about how Dak is SO friggin good....um...yeah.....sensitive.

I think I even asked ronnie "how do you beat Dak" and he said something about "confusing dak with coverages"....not a direct quote mind you but close enough.

Oh, you mean like when I said "Dak reading defense is "suspect"? It only means there are some uncertainties there. Not that he sucks or can't.

No what I said was your only chance is to try and confuse him with coverages. And if you can't accomplish that you're toast. He CAN be fooled at times. But I can say that about literally every QB that has ever lived. I mean Brady has roughly the same career interception percentage that Dak does - 1.7 to 1.8.. So do defenses fool him at times? Or does he just make bad throws at times? These are both sins that are aimed at Dak as "proof" that he isn't very good.. yet his percentages in this area are almost identical to the GOAT and much better than some of these other QBs people hold up as "elite" and "worlds better than Dak." Why is Dak's completion percentage higher than guys like Brady, Rodgers and Manning? Apparently they are "suspect" in these areas as well.

You asked me how you beat Dak.. I gave you what I believe are a defense's only real chance of doing so. I didn't say the defense was going to succeed.. Looking at his numbers it's clear they really don't very often. But they do sometimes. Ironically I would say that on 5 of the 7 INTs he has thrown this season he read the defense just fine.. He just determined that his guy was going to win and get to the spot where the ball was going. That's not a bad read.. It could be called a bad decision.. especially in Lamb's case because he has not shown that he will consistently outfight a defender for position in those situations.. Or the Gallup throw because by now they should know that Gallup does not trust planting on that knee and cutting hard left. But it's not a bad read nor even a bad throw.. Because I think in most cases the ball ended up exactly where he wanted it to go. Just the wrong guy won the battle for position.

I see the Dak hating mental midgets are out in force in this thread. I bet they have secret handshakes.

I have always maintained that slow starts did not become a thing until Moore took over the offense. Before he came on board the Cowboys were known for scoring on their first drive more often than not. His approach seems to be that he wants to probe the defense in those early scripted plays more than attacking it. The result is a lot of punting early on. I thought Garrett and Linehan did a much better job with the scripted 10-15 plays .. The issue with them was that a lot of times if the other team was ready for it they had no answer in the way of adjustments. Moore, and maybe McCarthy seem to be doing a much better job in that area. Or maybe it's just having Dak gain another 4-5 years of experience has enabled him to figure the defense out and start attacking it better as the game wears on. Whatever it is the Cowboys have outscored teams by over 100 points overall in the second half. So there can be no denying they DO figure it out no matter who we want to give the credit to.

It is obvious the big play/explosive element of his play is diminishing. Can he get it back? Maybe. Are we finished if he doesn't? No, I don't think so. His dink and dunk game seems to work for us. I think the big concern is his errant passes and poor decisions at times. We can win with a dink and dunk QB, we don't need an explosive QB like Hurts. Our defense allows us the opportunity to score a heck of a lot of points without having to have an elite QB, just look at our success with Rush. Dak has not been explosive but he will produce more points than Rush did and that is all we need. Let the defense carry the load.

Come on dude, Let's be grown ups here. No Dak Hate You can't be serious. It's cool hate Dak, for whatever reason. just don't piss on my head and tell me it's raining. I know the warmth and the stench.

I admire Dak. It doesn't make my life one iota better, I just like the guy. Same goes for the Dak haters. Hate is a major deficit when it comes to character, but that's on the hater

Without question! Brady is Brady. I was talking to a driver in my office and he said aw, Saints got this one. I told him not so fast it's Brady we are talking about! But the subject was about QB's and Ints. That's what I was talking to

Yes...I get you loud and clear. Brady was....average at best most of the game. Not taking into account any other player performance of course.

But...when it mattered the MOST...he put up the points. Even WITH penalties. It's what I wanted to see in our Green bay game. We even had a cushion. Just score some points, keep the ball...and we win that.

We're gonna have to do that to get in the playoffs and go deep.
