Troy Aikman on Dak

[SportsGuru80]

Accuracy isn't necessarily taught unfortunately...

 

[Brax]

Big upzzz...to all my haters.

Ok Troy summed it up perfectly.

Thanks for finally catching up to those of us who saw this 2 years ago, Troy.

I don't think Troy Aikman held a press conference.

He was asked a question and answered it.

 

[jwitten82]

Shut your face Troy!

I'll take the word of our resident message board posters that Dak doesn't actually have issues. Where's xwalker?

Lol them dudes gonna avoid this thread

I've seen some make the comparison of Aikman's early years as a Cowboy to Dak's in development and growth but they're not even similar stories.

Aikman was, at that time according to all of the QB guru types around at that time, the most complete QB regarding mechanics they had seen come into the NFL. He would later be used by many coaches in teaching mechanics of the position. I've seen many young QB's reference seeing film of him when they were being developed.

Prescott was a 4th rounder because he didn't have that. The DC's at AL, AU and LSU exposed his flaws when trying to limit his effect with his feet. That is why his stock fell in 2015 because those 3 defenses are about as close to the NFL ones as you can get.

The comparison of the two QB's is useless. One started for the worst team in the NFL and worst OL and the other had a much better team and not near the pressure to perform that the #1 pick in the draft had coupled with the lack of confidence from his HC.

There’s no excuse for Dak to not know presnap reads in year 3.

Where you at Dak homers quoting Aikman a couple weeks back regarding play-calling as a defense of his garbage play?

 

[McKDaddy]

When you can't even throw the Wide Receiver screen to the midsection of the receiver, you are pretty bad. 3 inches off the ground is just a tad low.

 

[4lifecowboy]

Dak hasn't regressed, he just hasn't progressed.

 

[khiladi]

Won't matter to his supporters. They are the same people that didn't believe him when he said Romo was a better QB than he was. Doesn't fit their narrative so he will be dismissed as a know-nothing 3 time Super Bowl Champ.

They were trying to use Aikman, when he criticized play calling, a couple weeks back as a defense of Dak...

 

[jrumann59]

If he is regressing, then the coaching staff has something to do with that .

That could be it or he is what he is. RG3 was 1st round QB and regressed to point he is a journeyman. There are QBs throughout the league that were high or low draft picks, some succeed some fail, those that fail are talented enough to carve niche as "good" back up QB, some are out of the league.

If Dak is shell shocked and hearing footsteps that are not there not many QBs get over that look at all the QBs that got marched through Seattle in 30 years, look at Jim Everett a Pro Bowl QB that last half of his career was making passes off his back foot due to being shell shocked, David Carr. Fear of the pass rush is hard to control and when it dictates how you play you are done as QB.

 

[ClintDagger]

That’s about as close as you are going to get to hearing Aikman write a guy off, especially someone who plays for Dallas.

 

[khiladi]

People are forgetting that Troy also said Dak has bad anticipation of the defense besides his accuracy issues

Yep, can’t read defenses pre-snap basically as well. This gets back to the RPO issues last year that Linehan had to basically take away.

 

[LocimusPrime]

How about the one Dak had with David Carr?

I posted it below cause a couple of peeps asked for it

Problem with that is he’s shell-shocked when getting decent blocking. And it’s actually the OL under tremendous pressure because of his garbage play, not the other way around. Defenses have no respect for his arm.

that is strange as u would think that would improve.
is dak not working hard enough ?

 

[LocimusPrime]

But would Dak be regaining the accuracy he had prior to midseason 2017 or learning it in the first place? I think its the former.

Good question bro.

 

[Sydla]

Which is part of the actual problem, decisions made by "Football Guy" Jerry Jones and his lackeys.

Most teams who saw their young QB regress from 2016 to 2017, would run out and sign a QB coach with zero coaching experience to help right the ship.

I think Moore was Linehan. I think they (Garrett and Linehan) sold Jerruh on the fact that Dak and Moore were like best buds on the sidelines.

And another reason why this franchise desperately needs a real GM. I don't think a GM worth his salt given the situation where their young QB needed serious work would have allowed them to hire a QB coach with no experience at all in developing a QB.

what is your definitions of regression and progress?
