For those who haven't seen Gruden's QB camp with Dak Prescott, this is very insightful into Dak Prescott's mentality and positives and negatives. I just saw this today, and really enjoyed it. Having the QB of the future cannot be ruled out yet.


Good video on dak. Maybe gruden helped him??

It takes more than a qb to make a screen pass work. And we have had plenty of successful screen plays with both Troy and Romo.

This is so true. EaGirls under Andy Reid were always good at running the screen. Regardless of who the QB was.

I like Dak Prescott but I refuse to get overly excited about one game... I need to see more.

Life has matured Dak as a person, which I think is a large part of what makes him such a cool customer in the packet and such a great leader.

Dak played 4 years and took a ton of snaps in the crucible that is the SEC. His cool under pressure and his quick thinking were partially God given and partially forged in those white hot SEC fires. Looking down the Barrel at loaded defenses against Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Florida, etc. made him into what he is today.

On the field he has all the physical tools it takes to be great in the NFL and he is smart. He understands the game. Two quarters in one preseason game indicates nothing about Dak's future success playing regular season NFL football. But Dak Prescott is not Justin Vaughan or Steven McGee or Chad Hutchinson or any of the other guys the Cowboys have tried to turn into real NFL QB's. Unlike those guys Dak has everything it takes to be a great one, including one of the truly great ones to watch and learn from.

It is between his ears and in his chest that has always made Dak a really good football player. Physically, he's very good. He is mobile, can take a hit and has no fear of getting hit because he's so strong. But it is his football IQ and his natural charisma and moxie that separate him from other QB's.

I could watch the TWill touchdown all day long.

If Dak repeats this next week(or even close), then I am all-in for him being our #2 :)

You should raise your standards. Tremendously. And with haste.

Don't look at the numbers. He showed poise, mobility, and a good arm.

But he's going to get killed behind that offensive line. They made Phil Costa and Alex Barron look good.

I like how pro Wentz guys are so obvious.

Ignore a bad outing and just focus on subjective intangibles.

And already building in excuses for any failure... IT IS THE LINE'S FAULT!

Cognitive biases in all their glory.

Wentz looked good. I'm sad to say. But that o-line will get him killed, after it gets Bradford killed.

How does Wentz look good? Sure he can run with the ball but his accuracy was bad. I also don't think he has much of a touch.

I'm not pro-Wentz. I just saw a guy that will translate.

That line will kill Bradford, Daniel, and Wentz. He got pounded.
