Stephen Gilmore pick

It's truly mindboggling that we have a QB that has never made a mistake or bad pass and all we've got is 1 Wild Card win to show for it in 7 years.

Mind boggling, I tell ya!
 
It was a timing play, Dak is throwing to a spot when the receiver makes his break.

Wasn't a timing play. Even if it was a timing play, the QB has the responsibility to see if the play is there before releasing the ball. One glance easily told him the defender had taken the route away.
 
Its funny how the narrative changes with the QB. When Rush threw a rare pick, he was showing his true quality. Even throws that were 'almost' picked off were scrutinized and shown as proof he didn't belong in the starters role. Now, Dak has 5 INTs in 3 games and its all on the WRs. Bad throw? Nope, the wr ran the wrong the route and should have been there. :laugh:

Who ever said “ he never makes a bad pass or a mistake “ ? Your over reacting bruh. I’m saying in this play Stephen Gilmore got the best of the WR and Dak is left with another INT for the boards brick throwers .

Dak has thrown some atrocious passes this season.

Some have been picked off, some have been dropped INTs, and some have been harmless.

But his accuracy clearly looks the worst it's ever looked and that's even with wide open guys.
 
And he’s thrown some beautiful red zone TD’s to Schultz that our “ franchise tag TE “ had sail through his hands . Have you seen those too ?

Completely agree that Gilmore anticipated the play & took away the route. Dak is still responsible though. It is his decision when & where to throw the ball. He either A) shouldn't have thrown the ball to this spot (he could clearly see Gilmore was in great position) or B) throw the ball inside Gallup or over his head if he believed PI occurred & was trying to draw attention to it.

But I will also add that even if you think PI occurred you don't have to throw the ball. It's either going to get called or it's not.
 
Breaking News: Stephon Gilmore is pretty good.

Gilmore beat Gallup to the spot, looked back for the ball and denied Gallup to enter the space Gilmore was equally entitled to.

It was not “Dak’s fault”
It was not “Gallup’s fault”
It was not illegal contact

Accurate. Succinct.
 
Dak released the ball pre receiver going to the plush carpet . If a QB waits for the “ open receiver “ he’s eating the bottom of a sack , not the kind he advertises for Tom Thumb either.

Gilmore is trailing Gallup with outside leverage. Gallup is running a out/curl route. Dak should read that Gallup has to go through an All Pro CB to run his route and he obviously can’t teleport so there is going to be contact and opportunity for Gilmore to make a play on the ball.

Did the refs miss a PI call?…maybe but that doesn’t absolve Dak of a poor decision. He didn’t see PI and then throw the ball and honestly I think refs would call PI their less than 50% of the time.

Literally, no one has said that.

No wonder you struggle so much with Dak, you make stuff up to justify your pigheadedness.

Disagree....

Sure, he decided to throw it there, he threw similar plays to gallup the week before and they were great.

Also, you can't have PI without the ball being thrown...fyi.

Any play that ends in a turnover has mistakes and typically multiple people at fault. I agree Gilmore is a fantastic player but I wouldn't be too happy if Gallup and Dak just threw there hands up in their Monday morning meeting and said we did nothing wrong, Gilmore is just too good.
 
For argument sacks, say it was all on Dak, and? his critics leave out the 3 TD passes he threw in the game. I will continue to say Dak is not elite but he is good enough to lead this team and make it to a SB. You want me to say he is not Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes? ok but are they coming to Dallas? is there a trade that will take place? if not then shut up about Josh Allen and Mahomes why even bring them up in the conversation.
 
He might’ve gotten away with a little bit but not enough for a flag...overall Gilmore made an excellent play
Yep, it looked from the limited replay that Gallup ran into him. It is not like Gallup has a right to run through a defender. Just like the two picks versus Green Bay, the ball should not have been thrown!

I am not trashing Dak for interceptions here and there, they happen all the time but just don't get on this board and tell me he is playing great while he is throwing them!

That is why I say Dak graded about a D during the game except red zone where he graded an A. That evens out to an ok game result wise but if he played a B game everywhere else we are up by 14 instead of 2 at the end of the 3rd!

Not with Stephen Gilmore on him but regardless I disagree.

Those plays last week put Gallup in a position to attack the ball.

Just because a catch is contested doesn’t make it the same other contested catches. Take the 2nd Gallup TD, great throw and great decision not because Gallup caught it or was wide open. It’s because Gallup clearly had leverage and the opportunity to attack a well thrown ball in the air. Gallup had control, on the Gilmore one, it was the reverse, given their respective positions, Gilmore had control.
 
It was a timing play, Dak is throwing to a spot when the receiver makes his break. Ref has to throw the flag for illegal contact. Colts got away with another one later on that time it was the safety who made the contact to stop a deep throw.
Gilmore was already outside of Gallup on that route I think. If Gilmore was inside Gallup I can see making the throw but you don't make that throw when the DB is outside leverage.

I will say that they never showed a good replay so maybe I am wrong about that!

So, he threw similar plays where Gallup was falling down & the defender was standing where the receiver was intended to be and they worked out great?

I gave option B in my response. They could have called defensive holding without the ball being thrown. So, now that terminology is cleaned up.
 
In the playoffs the way CD is playing he’s getting doubled and 13 will see the other teams best corners and needs to come up big help his QB , Have big games. Gilmore was a good road test Of the Darius Slay off ramp coming real soon .
 
But his accuracy clearly looks the worst it's ever looked and that's even with wide open guys.

Right before the interception this thought ran through my head. "Dak is OK ..... right up until the moment he isn't". I don't know a better way to describe his play.

This one and a few more interceptions that have been widely debated are more decision making than accuracy for me. You see where the defenders are. Don't throw it directly to them.
