It's just something we have to get over. He hasn't played in any way resembling a fourth-round QB.That's a great point and that's kind of been my apprehension with him too.
I'll admit I wanted nothing to do with him in the draft, but after the way he played in the preseason, I had to readjust my thinking and admit that I could be wrong about him. With that said, I still can't help but shake the thought of him being a 4th rounder with a number of flaws. As Booze says, you keep waiting for that other shoe to drop and it really hasn't yet.
The most encouraging thing out of all the positive things he's done is the poise and accuracy, because you can't teach the former, and there's really not a lot that can be done for the latter either. IMO, he's ahead of schedule in arguably the two hardest things a QB has to acclimate himself to at the NFL level, so he's got a real chance to be something for us.
I'll keep my fingers crossed.
I think the reality is the NFL still hasn't figured out how to scout QB's from these no-huddle spread offenses that are permeating college football, ESPECIALLY ones that focus on a power run game like Mississippi State did and a lot of people simply missed the boat on Dak.
If they redrafted today, it would be an argument between him and Wentz for #1.
