Yeah Dak is considered high character. Quinthy was touched.I agree with not annointing the guy...but surely to God he's not as fucking retarded as the Quinthy.

Quinthy was one of the most retarded draft picks this team has ever taken a flyer on, probably the most retarded 2nd round pick. Kind of a shame because the idiot had some physical tools/skills, he just didn't have it between the ears.I agree with not annointing the guy...but surely to God he's not as fucking retarded as the Quinthy.
Gregory might be the new standard though. At least Quincy managed to have a couple of years in the league before drugs ruined his career.Quinthy was one of the most retarded draft picks this team has ever taken a flyer on, probably the most retarded 2nd round pick.

Fair point since Gregory's screw up came before his second season even started and Carter did manage to get the team to the playoffs in his third season.Gregory might be the new standard though. At least Quincy managed to have a couple of years in the league before drugs ruined his career.
Yeah but Quinthy also wasn't just smoking weed. Not an excuse but weed doesn't do to your body what those other substances do (like crack or coke).Gregory might be the new standard though. At least Quincy managed to have a couple of years in the league before drugs ruined his career.
I remember that game with the Jones' high fiving each other up in the box after Quincy threw a wobbly TD, despite his trouble gripping the football and throwing over linebackers. He was immature on top of it, and you can't afford to have that at QB.I think it was Nick eatman who put out the caveat that Quincy was fantastic his first preseason game (a performance that prompted us to cut Tony Banks), and then completely shit the bed after that.
The good news is I'm guessing Prescott has a much better head on his shoulders than Quincy. The bad news is we don't know that for sure yet.
Beyond that, I remember losing to the Panthers in the wild card in 2003 and afterward the Panthers defenders talking about this "tell" he had with his hand before taking the snap. Outside of that, I seem to remember a blowup between he and Jerrah on the sidelines, I can't remember what year it happened.I remember that game with the Jones' high fiving each other up in the box after Quincy threw a wobbly TD, despite his trouble gripping the football and throwing over linebackers.

Jerry went crazy after that preseason game, cutting Banks, and Dave Campo was in full on puppet mode.
That blowup happened during Campo's last year. It was a game against Arizona. Can't remember what it was exactly about. Just remember that he was replaced by Hutch the following week when Emmitt broke Peyton's Record.Beyond that, I remember losing to the Panthers in the wild card in 2003 and afterward the Panthers defenders talking about this "tell" he had with his hand before taking the snap.

Poised is the word that came to mind when I watched the replay.I know the company line is to say it was a preseason game, don't get too excited, etc...but watching him in that game was amazing. He would have been 12 for 12 passing if Swaim would have caught those 2 balls thrown to him. The throws he made to Dez were vet throws. He just looked so poised and really seemed to have a grasp of the offense. I can't remember the last time I was this excited about a young QB on the team. I think it was actually the first time I saw Romo play vs the Raiders and he QB sneaked in for a TD.
Prescott put it all together for sure. It was like watching Romo in preseason 2006, except better and many more times remarkable because it was his first game.I know the company line is to say it was a preseason game, don't get too excited, etc...but watching him in that game was amazing.

Yes, a little like Russell Wilson he's set up well to take his career as far as his skill and will can take him. He can lean on strong protection, a great running game, and ROH talent at WR and TE to help him out.There will be times when he looks like shit but let's just keep in mind that he has already shown himself to be more capable than just about any young QB we've had in here for over the last decade in just his first game.
Are you talking about leaning on them as far as 2016 preseason success goes?Yes, a little like Russell Wilson he's set up well to take his career as far as his skill and will can take him. He can lean on strong protection, a great running game, and ROH talent at WR and TE to help him out.
Getting that protection while he reads through his progressions is huge at this early age. Romo didn't have that until his fifth year in 2007, and then it disappeared until 2013.
He can lean on them throughout Romo's remaining time as 2nd string QB in practice too, in addition to preseason games. And of course it's reasonable to expect Romo will miss games in the next two seasons. I think Dak is a viable option to win at least some of them in Romo's absence.At any rate the OL is much more important than either of them to a QB's success and all of those guys will still be in their prime, not to mention Elliott, so those are huge advantages.
I noticed Daks balls don't have a ton of juice.
Hmmm...I see what you did there.
He doesn't have the strongest arm (probably part of why he was drafted later) but Romo doesn't have the strongest arm either.Has anyone mentioned the velocity Dak puts on the ball? In going back and watching the game again I noticed Daks balls don't have a ton of juice. Nearly everything is a bit of a touch pass. His touch is great so this works but it does give the defense more time to react. It also makes a much more catchable ball - but that also means it's more catchable for for defense who have worse hands. I'm kind of curious how strong Dak's arm is. Can we throw a rope if he needs to?
