The 4th down throw was behind Brown

[MountaineerCowboy]

OP big mad that we won that game Sunday

 

[Sydla]

What was arguably the biggest play in the game was really a late throw across the middle that Noah reached back and snatched out of the air.. Then the TD was high and outside and Brown had to climb the ladder a bit to go get it. Yet people have been downright giddy about how Rush "hit receivers in stride" and all that thinly veiled shots at Dak noise. If Dak makes that same throw to Brown all we would have heard was how if he woulda led him he would have had a chance to run after the catch. In reality throwing it behind was absolute the right ball placement because if he leads him Noah probably gets blown up by the safety and maybe even gets the ball dislodged and Cincy has the ball at our 40 yard line. It's probably a very different ballgame then.

The point of this is that you people talkin bout how well Rush threw the ball must have been getting a beer on the 5-6 near INTs he tossed. And why do I mention near INTs? Because people were beside themselves when Dak had a similar total of near misses in a game last season. And if I'm not mistaken we won that game too. This is not to disparage the game Rush had.. He had a nice game as a backup. He managed the game and didn't LOSE it. And made 5-6 throws when he absolutely had to in order to win it. I call that "Eli Manninging." I hope he does it 4-5 more times..

One, per the "experts" (PFF and others), it appears Rush threw two interception worthy balls, not 4-5.

Two, you are missing the larger point here. Rush is a backup. Hence why Dak was starting and not Rush. Dak gets paid oodles of money to be an elite QB. Rush gets paid to be a backup. The range of what we accept as "good" from Rush is wider than Dak's because we expect less from Rush than Dak.

Three, as you said Rush is there not to "lose" the game. Because that's his ceiling. Dak is paid (and considered by you and others "elite") to "win" games. There is quite a difference here.

In a perfect situation you would like your backup quarterback to have somewhat the same skill set as your starter. Rush isn't as mobile as Dak but thank the football gods he's as inaccurate as Dak

Maybe the pre-2021 injury Dak. He hasn't been the same since the Miami game last year.

 

[Sydla]

Yup.

I just found it incredibly telling how Romo twisted and contorted to make it sound like a great throw.

He has an agenda.

LOL.

So let's dip into this theory here. Are you suggesting Romo was pimping Rush as some sort of payback for Dak taking his job back in 2016?

 

[Runwildboys]

After all the praise he's heaped upon Dak in the past. But now he isn't saying Rush sucks, so he has an agenda.

It seems to me these Dallas Prescott guys are looking for anything to convince themselves that Rush really stinks.

You know us winning that game Sunday is burning at them right now. Threads like this prove that I believe.

You should be happy with a win instead of making a whole thread based on 1 COMPLETED pass and coming up with conspiracy theories on top of it.

They wouldn't take this much time to try and discredit a Dak competition.

They're a clear agenda here and they're not even trying to hide it anymore.

I'm just waiting for him to make a Pollard bash thread now because of how much he hypes up Zeke.

I don't usually pay much attention to who says what, until they make a clear pattern of it. Maybe he's done that with Zeke, and I haven't noticed.

Dak and Zeke are his guys it seems and that's fine, everyone has their favorites, but why try and discredit the guy playing in their place?

It's almost like they would rather lose with them instead of win without them.

You are trying to assign agendas to people that does not work

I know your teams in all the other sports (Yankees, Lakers, and Notre Dame).

Except college Basketball, so let me guess..... Duke?

 

[nightrain]

Just win, Baby; Dak, Rush, Grier, just win.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Just win, Baby; Dak, Rush, DiNooch, just win.

That is all that should matter.

Always.

Ball was thrown through a tight window and in location it had to be in. Brown barely adjusted. On the TD catch, Brown missed timed his jump and thats why it looked weird. Thats an easy catch even my grandmother can make. In the gane against the Bucs, Dak should have had 4 INTs. The biggest difference I see in Rush and Dak is that Rush goes through his progression quickly and actually goes through his reads. Dak rarely gets off his first read and checks down too much. He leaves lots of meat on the field. So, is the problem Moore or Dak?

still beats patting the ball and getting sacked aye?

Seriously, you'll find those throws in Arron Rogers stats too...

 

[Ken]

Really? What agenda does Romo have? You think he's trying to get his job back?

He has a real struggle saying anything good about Dak. I think back to the NE game...listen to his call on the game winning TD...killed him to say something nice.

He still holds resentment....

 

[Ken]

LOL.

Ya i guess.

He hates Dak. You can hear it whenever he is forced to talk about him.

Kind of like the same gaggle here who can't say anything nice...probably he is Mountain Cowboy.

 

[Doomsday101]

Not the greatest but caught none the less and converted for a 4th down that gave the team a big boost on the opening drive.

Cool but if it was Dak it would have been behind brown and also to high. You’re just mad Dak sucks and 95% of the fan base can’t wait until that Poo is cut.

 

[Vtwin]

Yeah that was kinda part of my overarching point. These idiots do it ALL THE TIME with Dak. The guy completed 68% of his passes last season but these idiots still complain that he "not accurate." I mean can you imagine if he were actually accurate? He'd complete 85-90% of his passes!

You have to admit. There were a couple passes from Rush that Dak wouldn't have tried. This is where judging accuracy entirely on comp % fails to tell the whole story.

If I'm thinking of the same play, we really don't know what the deal was. It is entirely possible that Romo was right. The ball was thrown to the open spot in the zone and the receiver is supposed to read that. Very difficult to be exactly on the same page. The TD pass was a good pass put where his guy could go up and get it.

These callout threads are ridiculous. Nobody has ever criticized Dak for a TD pass. Comparing the completion of the pass in your other example to the many times Dak has thrown the ball behind a crossing receiver with nobody in front of him is absurd. "Throwing to where the receiver is, instead of to where the receiver is going to be" is mentioned as a negative in pretty much every scouting report I've ever read on Dak. We've seen it a million times. Unlike throwing a deep ball the receiver can track down, there is no room for error on those crossers and this is where the accuracy problems show up.

Maybe this is why we complain about all the predictable come-back routes we are used to seeing?
