Smoke this -

One of those QBs was bad in the 2nd half and came up small when his team needed it while the other led a roaring comeback

Look: Dak might be "fine", but that's all he will probably ever be. If you go this route, you can't afford many mistakes on defense.

You'll also probably want to go back and watch the film and see that the comeback was largely influenced by Todd Gurley, meanwhile Linehan chose to take Zeke out of the equation.

You guys are blind if you can’t see how terrible Dak looks in the pocket. He doesn’t read defenses very well. Teams are forcing him to stay in the pocket and he’s very average. He’s good outside the pocket but that gets exposed in the NFL. Espeacially when you don’t have a great defense like russel Wilson.

Look he is nice player. He is athletic. He makes plays out of the pocket etc but this guy is just brutal in the pocket. He does not scare any defense in this league. Not one. He has zero acuracy. Im telling u in 5 years he will be backing up domeone on anotjer team. Be very worried people. I know bash me and say im a hater. Blah blah. But ill say it again. I had to listen to oeolle here tell me he is a top 5 QB and better than Brady. Im sorry He can not throw the ball in a conventional offense. Jerry i pronise u is sick to his stomach. I know kill me and do what u always do all the time. This team will be lucky to win 8 games.
I agree on this one
Nope

I would give Texans Dak and a pick for Watson
Legit question.

Is Dak the best pro quarterback in Texas?

He can’t throw from the pocket same problem Russell Wilson is having. Nice athletes , smart but we will never win anything with Dak.

The difference between RW and DP is that RW takes a lot of risks and actually, per an article I read, ironically, among top QBs in throwing to WRs in tight windows, Matt Ryan being number 1 last year.

DK is pretty conservative..

Do you know why? It’s because Wilson has a great def that allows him to take more chances .

I type fast. Thats why its aleays wrong. But deep down u know im right
Typing fast isn't neccesarily an issue. You can type fast as long as you can think fast.

Your problem is you type fast and think slow. Now that's a problem.

I hardly think when RW is on the field making tight throws regularly, it's because he's thinking the defense will back him up.. when he kept throwing INTs against GB in the championship fans, ultimately 5, im pretty sure neither the coaches nor the defensive players were like, "hey keep throwing those dumb passes..."

You can't break habits that easily.. we are talking about a 16 game seasons where the trends are usually established.,

Dak does not throw in tight windows that well 'regularly'.. he is what he is most likely..

And I'm not saying RW is a great QB either.. I was just pointing this difference out..

It's why we should have held on to Romo and further developed Dak.

We got caught up in the hoopla last year. Not sure what the rush was?

We knew we didn't have a good enough defense to be a more serious contender anyway and if Romo got hurt again we had the best backup QB in Dak.

I don't think Romo was very excited about coming back as a backup unable to fairly compete. Doubt it was even much of a consideration.

He did his job with class last year; helped Dak, complimented Dak every chance he got (and Dak deserved credit), and stayed low key and out of the press to further allow the young gun to blossom.
But this year (and probably late last year as he was most likely promised) he wanted a fair shot--as any player would--to compete for the job he lost to injury.
And it was made clear to him he wasn't getting it.
He understood that and did not piss and moan. Never heard one complaint from him as it would not help the team or organization to whine about it.

Time to move on, brother.

When you consider the egos of NFL players and especially QBs Tony behaved better than anyone had a right to expect. And did as much as he could to help Dak because that is the way Tony is. This year I do not see Kellen Moore helping Dak as much. Now a fair amount of the blame is CLEARLY on the Coaching Staff from Wilson to Linehan to Red Ball. Teams have studied Dak and know how to make him uncomfortable. It is up to the Boys staff to figure out how to counter that. The NFL is a chess game; move and countermove. Right now the Boys are at least one move behind.

Remember all those threads about people saying Dak will be better this year? The more realistic people said Dak could indeed play better but have much worse stats. That was dismissed as well.

What we see so far is the growing pains of a young QB. EVERYONE has them.

I wasn't talking about Romo coming back as a backup. Because I think Romo would have beat Dak out. And I would have inserted Romo back last year .

I'm always about putting the best talent in if healthy . If Romo was hurt again we had a great backup in Dak.

And I was a Romo critic wearing a Dak shirt as I type this but he definitely is better QB when healthy at this point. This is what everyone was so anxious to move on to?

I hear you. Yes, at this stage, he is better. Driving this offense with Zeke, the line and weapons...sure, this offense would be buzz-saw...IF Tony could stay healthy.
But it was clear that organization didn't want to go down that road. They had a young guy that had a truly great rookie year, and who they wanted to continue to progress. They also didn't trust Tony's health.
I'm really just stating what the options were and not whether it was right or not.

The excuse that Romo would get injured again doesn't fly. Like you said, if he got hurt again Dak is right back in the game and we move on.

Dak struggle last year against he Eagles when Zeke wasn't on the field. Romo didn't.. the Eagles backed off when they saw Romo come in..Romo threw lasers downfield, with 'bad back and all', faster than anything Dak throws..

And Dak is struggling with Zeke not running like last year, whatever the reasons for it, meaning he's playing in stretches this year like he did against the Eagles

I am glad we have all of this stupidity captured on this thread. It will make it much easier to pull this up and laugh in 5 years.

We had to put up with the stupidity concerning Romo for years. It should come as no surprise that we're already seeing it with Dak.

Fans still do not realize that it's a team game. Watch any game and you see quarterbacks miss some throws they should have made. For that matter, watch our game against the Rams and you'll see Goff miss some throws he should have made. The difference yesterday is that the Rams played better than the Cowboys.

If our running game finds itself, then these same people will be talking about how great Dak is playing. If the defense finds itself (which I don't expect to happen), they will be talking like last year about him being better than Romo. Some are just never going to get it.

Its amusing that the team did not want to trust Tony to stay healthy yet keeps trying to put Green in as a starter who has a much worse injury history.

We scored 30 points without any special team or defensive help, Ill take that.
Our defense, even when they knew the Rams were running
could not stop them. We were slow to react all afternoon.
Some play action on first down would be helpful from our offense.
