Sturm Debunks Dak and Dunk

[FuzzyLumpkins]

What in the world does that have to do with my point?

What is your point? That Dak is just like Tom Brady?

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

That still has nothing to do with my point, and I specifically said Dak isn't Brady. My point was they both make smart, non flashy decision/plays on the field to keep moving the chains, and that smart non-flashy play doesn't make someone a bus driver.

You must not watch Brady much if you think he doesn't make flashy plays. He throws precisely all over the field for huge plays all the time.

He 'doesn't take risks' because he is so precise. It is not the same at all.

The notions go hand in hand. One lends to the other.

 

[Direwolf63]

Tom Brady destroys you. He decides how he will destroy you. He toys with you. He laughs while he does it.

Dak does whatever is the lowest risk possible.

And that's fine for a rookie. But to compare him to Brady in style is laughable. That's like comparing Zeke to Joseph Randle.

Dak does what he is being asked to do by Linehan and Garrett.

Tom Brady does whatever he wants because he's Tom Brady.

Dak is a rookie. Brady is the best of all time. Trying to degrade Dak because of what Brady does makes no sense.

If Drew Brees makes the Hall of Fame, I'm going to organize a riot.

3 of the top 4 on that list are absolutely Hall of Fame QB.

There's nothing wrong with throwing a lot of short passes, Dak just doesn't do it.

 

[Clove]

He changes a route every once in a while, or kills to a run play. He doesn't set protections or identify blitzers. Romo can literally design an entire play at the line of scrimmage. Very few can do that.

So sweet, call me when it results in titles. Other than that, it's just showmanship. You guys are so interested in the wrong thing. Wins vs who looks prettier.

 

[Doomsday101]

Whoopty-do. No touchdown passes, and one touchdown drive. Dink and dunk for nothing.

whoopty do? Yeah and Cowboys are 12-2 suck on that. Bring BS of he has easy games? Hell so does Tom Brady he plays in a joke of a division yet I hear no one claiming he has easy games. All QB do but Dak has also faced top ranked defense and division leading teams he has 20 TD passes and 6 rushing TD vs 4 ints and has helped this team win and you people want to whine about this? No wonder outsiders are laughing about this. Who in their right mind would be complaining about the job he has done given the success he and this team have thus far achieved

I've had high blood pressure since mid 30s do to weight gain from my football injury that happened when I was 27 that caused me not to be able to exercise anymore, but thanks for your diagnosis. I was in my mid twenties the last time we won a Super Bowl, I miss those days. I was hoping to win a Super Bowl between my mid 30s and now, but we had Romo there to ruin that, so now hopefully we can win a Super bowl in the near future with Dak Prescott. If not, we try again. No harm.

That is, until Dak loses a playoff game or two, your blood pressure spikes again, and you turn on him too.

As for me, I am elated we have both of them.

OK, so in that regard, they've done absolutely nothing so far.

Our line does most of that but good try in making Romo a saint. Romo is also the one who throws into crazy coverage, loses games with forced ints and has 2 playoff wins for all his brilliance. His best season was one identical to Dak right now. But hey, let's complain about an Pro Bowl rookie QB leading us to 12-2

And before you rip me I've spent years on here defending Romo. It's just laughable to say a guy is better fit a team when he hasn't played in 2 years, gets hurt and didn't even play well when he did get a game or two in

 

[Super_Kazuya]

TD are not irrelative rushing or passing they count the same it is TD that help you win games. What a joke to make such a claim. The object is to put the ball in the endzone. Dak is 2nd only to Tom Brady in TD to Int ratio. I don't care about gaudy stats what I care about is putting up points and avoiding turnovers that can get you beat. You talk about tight windows? who the hell cares Dak has faced top defenses and has helped his team win. I love Romo but he is not the QB of this team and the sooner people can get that through their heads the better off this board will be. Dak Prescott like it or not is the starting QB of the Dallas Cowboys he has heled this team to a 12-2 record and closing in on sealing a 1st rd bye as the #1 seed those are hardcore facts. Claiming what Romo may or may not do if put in the game is speculation not a fact

Again, rushing TDs for QBs are irrelevant. There is almost zero utility in them unless you are running an option style offense. The ability to throw an occasional 35 yard touchdown pass, however, is extremely valuable. It prevents your team from having to settle for field goals or grind out a long drive with flag-happy refs watching and potential turnovers looming. And it's completely missing from our dink and dunk attack.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Capping off your sentences with buddy. Feeling passive aggressive are we?

You're right. He should end his posts talking about what constitutes being an alpha male. That totally doesn't reek of insecurity.

 

[Doomsday101]

One touchdown drive against Minnesota.

One touchdown drive against the Giants.

One touchdown drive against Tampa.

Enjoy your empty, meaningless stats. Or go learn football. Your choice.

I will enjoy the 12-2 record. Hell Romo has had games like that he has games where he has thrown 5 ints. They are different types of QB. Romo will gamble a lot more it has also lead to big ints that have killed this team such as the Det game where after leading he throws ints for TD? I don't want to go after Romo but acting as if Romo has played mistake free football is a joke. He has made big mistakes. This is Dak team no one questions that except for some here.

I'm a Dak guy now. But's it's completely unfair to blame the lack of Super Bowls to Romo while he played. He's the only reason they got as close as they did in '07 and '14. Blame Jerry Jones for not putting the pieces around him to win. In fact, Jerry has said this himself more than once. Stephen too.

If you are going to play this game then you need to do it for all QBs. "What could have been" is great for making yourself feel better but all QBs experience drops and penalties.

That is not to say that in total it cannot have a significant effect but pulling your favorite anecdotes is not compelling.

Not trying to play a game. All I'm saying is I don't think we have the WRs on this team to make the deep ball work well consistently. We haven't had anybody like that since Terry Glenn. Or maybe TO.

And that's also the reason why I don't think they try it that often.

But that's just my opinion. Speaking for me only.

That is stupid, TD are relevant period that is the fircken object to put the ball in the endzone you don't understand that. Defense in redzone must account for Dak in those situation instead of just pinching down on Zeke they also have to keep 1 guy to spy on Dak if they drop into coverage they give Dak and easy run for the TD and again those TD count they mean a hell of a lot when trying to win football games.

 

[JJHLH1]

Did you watch Romo in 2014?

Romo was excellent in 2014. That team had a chance to go to the NFC Championsjip game. Romo in 2015, however, wasn't good.

 

[aikemirv]

I don't think in anyway you consider Dak a dink and dunk QB. He does have the vast majority of his throws as intermediate and his completion percentage keeps his YPA up without completing a whole lot of big passes. Brady is much more of a dink and dunker but his YPA is high because he completes more big plays.

I don't really care what you want to call it because an 8 YPA is going to win games and that is all that matters. If you can keep that YPA up you are going to win no matter how it is kept there. If it is there because of great efficiency in the intermediate game then your going to win most of the time. If it is there by dink and dunk and big plays intermixed you will win as well.

The scary part for the NFL is that if Dak can keep up the efficiency of the intermediate game and then develop the deep game!

 

[gmoney112]

Some people would be much happier if we ended up 12-4 i guess, but Dak tossed the ball up 30 yards down field most of the game.

And anyone using one of the greatest QBs of all time as a barometer is funny too. Aikman did okay, and he couldnt hold Toms jock as far as passing.

The RZ % is skewed because we've had the toughest 3 game stretch against good defenses of anyone in the NFL. That stat alone is misleading unless you include the amount of penalties in the RZ as well, because they're killing us. Anyone watching can see that.

What?
Rushing TDs are irrelevant for QBs?

 

[Clarkson]

Can anyone provide stats/evidence that Dak is a dink and dunk QB? I've yet to see those anywhere.
