Idk if it was Troy or Buck, but they mentioned how Dak said he's learned form that last game vs the Commanders, and he understands things better , and pretty much feels like he's better equipped for this time around.

He came out and proved it, was accurate all night, and made great reads. I like that, he talked the talk and walked it.

Two throws stood out to me that really signified that he's a legit passer - the one he dropped into Beasley for the long conversion on Beasley'a cross (perfect pass), and his throw on the run to Dez that set up Zeke's second TD. He scrambled a bit but kept his eyes downfield the entire time instead of tucking.

I feel like this was his best game all season. It doesn't look it in the stat lines, but he was in complete control, was deadly accurate and was clutch when it was needed.

Exactly!

Last game in the beginning, and some of the games this season he displayed inaccuracy at times. Which is expected, but this game it seems like he went to work on it, and it showed. He was dead on, like you said.

That Beasley throw was elite level touch and accuracy. Just beautiful.

Those were very nice passes, along with pass to twill
Dak has improved parts of his game as time has went on but if he can grow his game this off season as much as he did this season from camp till now then we ain't seen nothing yet
It's easy to see a few mechanic break downs and a few open receivers missed and yet he is putting up record type numbers. It's a thrilling thought that Dak will be an even better player next year and over the next few years as he learns more about defenses

That Beasley throw was amazing. Extended the drive on that one.

So was the throw to Dez on the run. He put it on a rope and high for only Dez to catch it.
For what it's worth, Trevor Matich on ESPN said Dak attacked the weakest defender in the Skins secondary (which may explain why he didn't throw much on Norman). Matich said that shows Dak's mature mentality as a quarterback. He said that's what experienced quarterbacks do.
That's probably why Dak doesn't throw many interceptions. He doesn't take risks, trying to force the ball to the diva receiver (in this case, Dez).

Also...the focus was on how defenses would play him the 2nd time around and not that Dak could actually figure them out the 2nd time around.

Such an agenda.

Dak's mobility was huge in this game. It has to be so demoralizing for a defense to play well and then see the QB scramble for first downs and a TD, or to roll out and hit a receiver in the front corner of the end zone for a TD. Loved Dak's stiff-arm!

The Beasley throw on 3rd down was the best he's made as a Cowboy.

Missing Butler in the end zone and a wide open Dez for an easy touchdown temper my enthusiasm.


But his legs and speed around the edge make me giddy.
