Dak Appreciation Thread

[ravidubey]

Last season he saw a shit ton of pressure and played pretty well. Admittedly he hasn't this year.

Yeah, I’m only referring to right now and his play this year

 

[ravidubey]

Yeah not sure it's just on this year because they still have him behind Wentz.

Wentz has faced better teams so far. Frankly Dallas’ schedule so far might have been the easiest I’ve ever seen to start the year

The Pats is probably just as bad if not worse. But sure it has been an easy stretch to start the season.

Just roll your coverage....

Um roll it where? To Cooper because Dak has shown he will kill you with Cobb, Gallup and Smith. So what he is saying literally makes no sense. And oh by the way you said to stop the run first, so now you don't have extra guys in coverage. Which makes it impossible to "roll" your coverage. I'm not getting what he is trying to say at all. Just sort of shows that just because you play football doesn't mean you understand it.

So by rolling coverage he means to show Cover 2 Man and then roll to Cover 3 after the snap for example. Problem is, all the presnap motion is designed to make you show your coverage. If you're in Cover 3 and you the team comes out in bunch, you can't just man up or you'll be badly out of position for Cover 3. Then they shift the bunch and it really confuses the subterfuge. This is one of the big reasons modern offenses do this.

It's also really difficult to do when you need that extra guy in the box to stop the run as he suggests.

Besides it's not like no one has tried to disguise coverages against Dak, everyone does that.

 

[L.T. Fan]

All of it is a guessing game but an offense should have the advantage if they have capable personnel and innovative game planning. Being able to make adjustments on the fly so to speak is critical.

Thing is, though, unlike previous years we have handled the easy games exactly as we should. We stomped the dog shit out of them instead of playing down to them.

New Englands opponents are 0-9. They've played a terrible Stealers team, the same Dolphins team we played and the Jets.

As for Philly, the only decent team they played was GB and they lost to a mediocre Lions team at home.

Not only did they play the Jets but they played the Jets who were starting a third string QB who doesn't even belong in the NFL.

And that's exactly right the Eagles played that same Redskins team who they barely beat. And lost to the Falcons who have been garbage this season except for their win over Philly. Otherwise Atlanta would be winless and look like a shit team too.

The Greenbay win was quality for the Eagles but this is from before that game.

Most quarterback wins since 2016:

Tom Brady 37, Dak Prescott 35, Drew Brees 32, Russell Wilson 31, Ben Roethlisberger 31.

Dak Prescott’s average per season during his first 3 years:

325 of 491 passing for 3,625 yards, 22 TDs, 8 INTs, 96.1 passer rating, 314 rushing yards and six rushing TDs.

Prescott’s pace through three games this season:

373 of 501 passing, 4,906 yards, 48 TDs, 10 INTs, 128.0 passer rating, 469 rushing yards and five rushing TDs.

LOL

Romo was surrounded by probowlers here and still did nothing in big games.

I love idiots who act like he was devoid of talent the whole time. He played on some fairly loaded teams.

No team that was this loaded.

 

[dbair1967]

No team that was this loaded.

Remind me again how many probowlers that 2007 team had.

 

[Smitty]

I don't remember and don't really care. I would say this team is better all around than that one.

Even so, I am not maintaining that Romo was "devoid of talent." Just that he wasn't rolling in it either. Hey, Prescott has been missing some talent at times too - a RB here, a LT there, a WR another time.... and he has shit the bed himself.

Your anti-Romo position is noted. It's over the top.

Romo's body of work outweighs Prescott's to this point. Prescott is making strides. Let's see if he keeps it up.

 

[dbair1967]

I am not anti-Romo, I am just not smitten with him the way some of you slobs are.

Like I said he is to be commended for developing the way he did, but he was not good in big games and his leadership skill in the locker room was non existent. He had plenty of talent around him numerous seasons of his career yet somehow bad plays always ended up being someone else's fault, even when he threw into double or triple coverage at the worst possible times.

 

[Chocolate Lab]

It absolutely is.

 

[shoop]

The problem with the Romo-era team wasn’t that they weren’t talented. The oline was never great let alone elite. If Romo had a line as good as we have now I believe we would have gone farther.

It was downright awful most of his career post 2007.

One guy beats a Fitz/Martin doubleteam, sacks Dak and injures Smith. Talk about a clusterfuck.

While tackling Dak by the legs which was a penalty earlier in the game.
