Would Dak Had Continued Playing Like Herbert Did?

Do you want us to Respect the imposter and greedy Dak?
WHY?:confused:
P.S. His garbage stats mean 0 for us so don't go there........

I'm very down on Dak and am done giving him chances, but I genuinely don't understand you hating the guy and saying stuff like that about him. He did what any other QB in his shoes would do to get paid. That doesn't make him greedy, it makes the Jones' idiots for signing him. He's a great leader, he's tough, and he gives his all to the team, the problem is that his all just isn't getting it done and his all isn't living up to what they paid him. You can acknowledge that he just can't put it together on the field and we need to upgrade/move on without trashing the guy with personal attacks.

I know Romo would have and did in a way but I'm curious.

You don’t have a clue if you think Romo would have returned with an injury to his thumb that required surgery. Romo returned to a game with a rib injury and he also missed three games with a finger injury. A thumb injury that requires surgery is a lot different than a rib injury. Listen to QBs talk about it. You can’t grip the football without your thumb. I can’t recall any QB returning to a game with that injury. You can’t just tape a thumb up and manage it.

This speaks volumes in what a winner and loser looks like.

Brady with the serious, supreme confidence, looking like a guy that's ready to take your soul.

Dak with the deer in headlights "please get me out of here" look.

Nope....he would have curled up in a ball and started crying. Then the medical staff would be forced to cart him off the field. The following day he'd be on air talking about proving the critics wrong and "challenge accepted"!

You guys never fail to amaze me. Yes Herbert is an amazing young quarterback. Bit name one quarterback in NFL history that could continue playing with damages in his THROWING HAND?????

You don't have to grip the football with your ribs..... smmfh.

You make a good point.

I'm thinking Dak's "ankle issue" may have been his thumb in the first place. He's never been uber-accurate, but he was just off all game. Maybe the thumb was reinjured or he was trying to play with an injured thumb.. I'm probably wrong, but that has to be the worst game I've ever seen from Dak.

They have a better roster than the Chiefs. Chiefs just have Mahomes.

Bills have a great roster. Who else has a roster the quality of SD in the AFC?

Chargers have a better set of weapons but Chiefs have a much better OLine. Meanwhile Chargers have a better defense but Chiefs defense is still solid so while I think Chargers roster is a little better it is an injury or 2 from not being (which they had 2 last night).

The Bengals were a Super Bowl team and spent a lot of money upgrading the only weapon their roster.

The Ravens might be overall the most talented roster in football but they won’t get everyone back for a couple more weeks.

The Browns are a loaded roster (best OLine in football, elite front 7, best set of RBs) but have no QB.

The same can be said of Miami. They have 2 fantastic WRs and a great defense but a bad QB.

While a tier below do not sell short Broncos or Raiders which makes that division much harder compared to North or East (or South but that division is awful).

I know Romo would have and did in a way but I'm curious. After seeing how Justin Herbert got back in the game against the Chiefs and kept on playing QB despite being injured in what I think were his ribs, I wonder if Dak would have gone out there and tried his best to win the game like how Herbert almost did. Would he have stayed on the sidelines to not risk any more serious injuries to his ribs or would he have tried to do what Romo did in 2011 against SF and what Herbert did? Would he have fared better than Herbert did?

Really makes you wonder how different those two are as QB and if Herbert might be the better QB due to what we all saw against the Chiefs. Your thoughts guys?
I kind of agree. Dak should have continued to play couple of years back with his Ankle sprain. he is not tough o_O

and who needs a thumb and wrist to play football. its totally unnecessary. just put a cast on it and use your other hand :eek:

There was actually a few times when they showed Dak on the bench before and during the game and it looked like he was bugging out or something. He and Zeke have become beyond annoying.

I feel pretty confident Dak wouldn’t have given upon the play where Herbert had all the open field in front of him and only needed two more steps to get the first down but flipped the ball away because he either couldn’t take the pain or was afraid to slide or kneel to give himself up.

All QB's here since Aikman have meant zero to us.
They've all been imposters and greedy, given the chance, like Romo and your current fave.

It is what it is and it's not ending with a new QB because the rot is deeper than the position.

Better get used to that reality baby.
While you obsess over the wrong thing.

Dak tried to put his shoe back on after the severe ankle injury...

Dak played with a broken finger in 2019.

QBs can't play with a broken thumb. Finger yes, thumb no.

Aikman missed time when his throwing hand hit a defenders helmet in practice.

He would have definitely kept playing, he just wouldn't have been good doing it.

Dak couldn't grip the football. What do you not understand about that? It's not a matter of being tough. It's a matter of being able to do his job with that specific injury. Romo couldn't do it either so stop your BS with that claim.
