I don't know how he can make these passes to Cooper down the field but yet couldn't hit Gallup on the same route even if he was running against nothing but air.
God awful throw.
I'm not sure. I guess the chemistry just isn't there yet. I just don't know.I don't know how he can make these passes to Cooper down the field but yet couldn't hit Gallup on the same route even if he was running against nothing but air.
It isn't just that he misses Gallup, is that he doesn't even come close.
How can that be?
Yeah that can all be argued. My whole point of my original post is that Dak is an average to above average starter. Schmitty does his whole "16 you moron" it's more like 10...whatever. The point is he's not elite and we could do better. We also could do A LOT worse. Until we have a stud prospect, Dak is our starter. Live with it.I wouldn't put Tannehill above Dak at all, and I'd definitely take Mayfield over Dak but that's mostly a projection. I'd probably take Stafford also but that's not 100%.
I'm also not sure that I'd take Cousins over Dak, the guy is just as much of a turnover machine and generally puts up empty stats while coming up small late in games.

This isn't the Dez Bryant fade or back shoulder throw, though.I'm not sure. I guess the chemistry just isn't there yet. I just don't know.
He's missing it with Gallup every time. He isn't missing Cooper.This isn't the Dez Bryant fade or back shoulder throw, though.
This is a WR running wide open by a mile in a straight line down the field.
An NFL starting QB shouldn't miss that pass as many times as he has. He's literally missed that exact same pass 3 straight weeks. It's a simple 9 route and he's missing it every time.
The fact that Jameis Winston is 6th on that list kind of invalidates it a bit. I also don't take any list seriously that has Trubisky 15 spots in front of Dak.Yeah that can all be argued. My whole point of my original post is that Dak is an average to above average starter. Schmitty does his whole "16 you moron" it's more like 10...whatever. The point is he's not elite and we could do better. We also could do A LOT worse. Until we have a stud prospect, Dak is our starter. Live with it.
BTW, my stats were based on QB rating. I took a look at QBR which gives pretty different results. His first year, Dak dominated this stat. Interesting

I think you are getting ahead of yourself. He's the kind of guy that would go on to play a half decade at a high level elsewhere.His days an as elite LT are over, I think.
He's become Doug Free -- a guy who on any given night can give you a very solid performance or become a liability.
He should be ok for another season as a starter, but LT is a position to keep a close eye on.
I don't agree with this list.You should hear the way other teams' fans talk about Dak. They say "he's a winner" and "he's a gamer." They see his highlights and not his lowlights that we are subjected to and get a slanted view of how good he is. Just the way we do about other teams' QBs.
Now I said 16 teams as a guesstimate but I wasn't far off. We have better QBing than the following teams:We're about even with:
- Buffalo Bills
- New York Jets
- Arizona Cardinals
- Baltimore Ravens
- Jacksonville Jaguars
- Denver Broncos
- Washington Redskins
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Detroit Lions (I doubt they would trade Stafford with us, I would take that)
- Cincinnati Bengals
- San Francisco 49ers
- Chicago Bears (again they probably wouldn't trade but I wouldn't either)
- Cleveland Browns (again they probably wouldn't trade but I wouldn't either)
- Tennessee Titans
- New York Giants
Then you have the superior teams:
- Carolina Panthers
- Oakland Raiders
- Pittsburgh Steelers (Ben is getting old)
- New England Patriots (Brady is having a shit year by his standards)
- Minnesota Vikings (I wouldn't take Cousins over Dak, he's just not a winner)
- Indianapolis Colts
- Green Bay Packers
- Houston Texans
- LA Rams
- Philadelphia Eagles
- Miami Dolphins
- Atlanta Falcons
- LA Chargers
- Kansas City Chiefs
- Seattle Seahawks
- New Orleans Saints
And the problem with that is, he missed him each time to seal the win.He's missing it with Gallup every time. He isn't missing Cooper.
So would I, but I don't think he's ever going to be consistently elite ever again.I'm keeping Tyron until the wheels fall completely off.
I'd try like heck to re-sign Fleming as insurance and then look for opportunities to take a swing tackle in the draft. If that opportunity presents itself, and that guy looks like a potential replacement at LT, then fine, but until then I'm keeping Smith.
