Romo pointing out Dak flaws

[noshame]

Can Dak be better absolutely. But newsflash, in Romo's 3rd year he couldn't find his arse with both hands.

 

[Doomsday]

He can't see the field to save his life. The All-22 video is going to show they had receivers running free behind the defense quite a bit, especially in the 4th quarter.

Dak has tunnel vision. The oline didn't do him a lot of favors today, there were at least 5 times were defenders pretty much had a free run at him and the run blocking was awful but he holds the ball far too long and won't set his feet when he feels pressure.

The one that Romo showed with 2 receivers breaking wide open for TDs with him seemingly staring right at them and not pulling the trigger was by far the worse.

The book on him is pretty simple, rarely throws it over the middle more then 10 yards down field and can't consistently hit side line routes.

Add in that he is late with his anticipation and his mechanics go out the window when pressured and you end up with a guy throwing for less then 200 yards a game in an offense driven league where scoring is way up.

Say hi to Dak for us, since it’s obvious your carrying his bags

Tell Romo bye since you helped him clean out his locker

 

[Dorsett33]

Definitely smarter then the god like football I.Q, of Dak... that is for sure. Starting to think Dak doesn't actually retain information very well. Since he does the same dumb things constantly. Maybe we should have him put on adderall, so he can focus lol.

Well....he should have been smarter, he played in the league for how long? Dak is only in year 3. I don't know how you know he doesn't retain information unless you're in the QB meetings. Moore is that ypu? Dak isn't what you're saying. Maybe there's other reasons you don't like him?

 

[AmericanCowboy]

What bothers me and continues to do so is people comparing Dak to a 10 year, all pro vet.

So what he missed open players? Every QB in the league does. It’s silly to go and analyze every All-22 and say “he missed this guy open, and this guy open.”

What is good is to see how he compares to other QBs at his experience level.

So I see Wentz do really well but have issues with almost turning the bill over a number of times (there seem to be 2-3 dropped INTS in every game). I see Goff due really well but he has a scheme that causes him to read half the field and utilies pre snap motion like no other. That teams also has RIDICULOUS SPEED.

I haven’t watched enough Chiefs because I have fallen asleep the last two weeks but they do the same thing. Lots of pre snap movement to identity the defense. Mahomes and Hill are just on another level.

The point is you don’t treat Dak like you treated Romo. Romo has a once in a decade type of football mind and football intelligence that few have. That much is clear.

Stop comparing 34-35 year old, 11 year vet Romo to 26 year old, 3 year vet Prescott. It’s silly.

 

[Romonater]

The crazy belief that one must insult Romo to support Dak is just idiotic.

Honestly, even Dak will tell you he needs to play better. Stop with the excuses.

Additionally, Romo had many flaws but qb vision and anticipation were never on that list

 

[iceberg]

Wasnt Daks fault...when he had time he made plays
Hard to throw to Beasley when your being hit..Toomany holding penalties and bad Oline play

and when he had time, he didn't make plays. missing (2) open receivers late in the game and running the ball instead shows he's not seeing the entire field as a qb should.

 

[irishline]

No. This is the difference between a 4th round pick being forced to play as a rookie and a 14 year veteran quarterback who sat his *** on the bench for several years before taking a meaningful snap.

He is two years away from that rookie season. That is two years worth of in game experience that he has over Romo at this point. Romo's frist start was game 7 of his 3rd season. This is game 7 of Dak's 3rd season. He should be playing better than Romo did in his first meaningful game based simply on that. Simple fact is that he isn't.

Dak is regressing year over year, not getting better.

 

[jrumann59]

Tony never had a core of average receivers. He started of with two Hall of Famers. TO and Witten ring a bell?

But he made Hurd, Austin, Robinson, Crayton and some even say Dez into above average receivers.

 

[Kevinicus]

The individualism means nothing to the team if they aren't winning. He was more known for his blunders (ill-timed interceptions and fumbles) than anything. He was smart, I'll give him that. But a ton? That's a stretch.

Idiots knew him for that myth, not smart people.

All individuals can do are individual things...duh.

Sadly this doesn't hold water. Look what young qb's are doing with the Chiefs and Ram's. They aren't making the mistakes DAK is making and they aren't afraid to throw the ball into tight windows. Yes, they were drafted much higher for sure, but part of DAK's problem with tight windows is between the ears. He apparently doesn't have enough confidence in his arm or his accuracy to make the tight throws or he isn't being coached right. I will say flat out that the coach of the Chiefs and the Rams are risk takers and Garrett certainly is not. The big question is whether DAK is being told to let it rip and spits the bit or whether he is being told to play it safe. I have no idea which one it is, but knowing Garrett he is probably telling him to play it safe. Sad thing about DAK is it appears his first instinct now appears to be defaulting to his legs. That's going to get him killed long term in this league.

Ha! I guess those same, so-called "smart people" love the fact we never made it to the NFC Championship game either under Romo, huh? Tell Romo hello...smart people....lol

Here is the best example of this i can give. Andy Reid has stated that the Chiefs haven't changed a thing about their offence since going with Mahomes, that should tell everyone all they need to know because what Reid is really saying is we now have a guy capable of running the offense the way it needs to be run. Put Smith back in a Chiefs uniform and you think they are scoring 40 a game? or throwing it downfield like they do now? of course not but the guy in there now has complete confidence in his ability and his arm and if the truth is to be told he has much much more talent than Alex Smith has which is why the offence is doing so much better with Mahomes. Put a different QB in our system and our offence is going to be better

Romo's individual mistakes cost the team plenty of opportunities, but the team is always blamed when discussing Romo. They believe Romo was the only reason the team had a chance anyway so Romo's mistakes are acceptable.

That is completely illogical nonsense.

Smart people can recognize a great player who did a lot for the team and still feel bad that the team on the whole wasn't good enough to win a title.

Did you just wake up this year? Last year Dak lead the league in throwing into tight windows. Try again. As far as Mahones, he has one of the best QB mentors in the league. No one was saying that about the Rams QB when he first came in the league. He was horrible. All players develop differently. You should be hollering for a better mentor for Dak instead. But, you apparently not going to like Dak regardless what he does. Your assessment doesn't hold water. You Dak haters said he couldn't throw the long ball....proved that wrong....check. You said he couldn't throw into tight windows...proved that wrong....check. He's a young QB. He's going to learn and not necessarily the same pace as any other QB. What's interesting is most pro analysis doesn't say Dak needs to go. As a matter of fact, I only hear it from so-called fans from CowboysZone. You don't hear Michael Irvin saying it. You don't hear Dez saying it. And he had every opportunity to say it. Lol....you guys kill me.

Yep!

Ha....go read the post right above you. Lol. We were just talking about you...lol. Smart people....lol. I'm going to use that all day. Work on becoming a football person because smart isn't working for you....lol

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

The dude had near 300 yards passing how anyone can blame Dak is baffling.

37 in the first half. 30% in late 4th quarter against prevent defense. its was horrible play call on both sides that even got us to the point to kick a field goal....the Commanders coach isn't much better in clock management than garrett

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Wasnt Daks fault...when he had time he made plays

how much time does he need? that's the problem.....
