Yeah I thought he could be a good backup but that was it.Remember when most people thought that Dak would be some kind of mulatto Tim Tebow without the Christ complex?

Wow. There are no words to describe how stupid this is.We all know that's bullshit. Right now he's a lot more RG3 (eerily similar stats) than Aikman, and we know how that turned out.
Erabody thought that.Yeah I thought he could be a good backup but that was it.
His rookie stats say he's the greatest QB of all time.

Exactly.Robert Griffin ran for 815 yards as a rookie. Dak ran for 282 yards and most of them weren't on designed runs. To compare the two's rookie seasons is ridiculous. And I'm sure if Griffin's body could hold up to running the ball 120 times a season he could still be successful. But no NFL QB can handle that type of a running load.
In Daks favor too is the fact that he physically is built more like a RB. He is thick throughout his entire body. Griffin has those chicken legs that are just not built for an NFL beating.
That's kind of what I was saying with him refusing to run any offense but the read option.You are reading way to much into it.
Griffin was not mentally capable of being an NFL QB. Shanahan knew it. That is why he dumbed down the Redskin offense to suit his physical skills.
Once the physical skills were gone, he was toast. It has been proven since.
Prescott isn't even the same kind of player. He at least tries to embrace the idea of functioning within an offense not predicated on his legs and shows a hell of a lot better on the field in terms of making decisions.
I think the absurdly low INT number will go up in the future. It's pretty obvious that he lucked out on some passes that could have been picked (I specifically remember some passes in the first Philly game got pretty damn erratic.)You are hard pressed to find any rookie starter in the NFL history that has performance stats like Prescott.
It really was a spectacular performance, which is why it is insult to claim that it was in any way, shape, or form even remotely similar to what RG3 (A QB who ran almost exclusively from the read option) did in his rookie season.You are hard pressed to find any rookie starter in the NFL history that has performance stats like Prescott.
You realize you took it a step tooo far. What QB has been more brittle in recent memory?He was far from brittle, as you claim.
Tony Romo.You realize you took it a step tooo far. What QB has been more brittle in recent memory?
The point in response to your post was that he's exactly the opposite of Aikman regarding expectations.Are we still taking about dinking and dunking or something else now? I think you missed my point.
Funny, but also untrueTony Romo.
his coach went out of his way to keep him as starter in favor of an incumbent who was more experienced, a better passer, and was denied even a chance to compete.
Yeah because he has played every game for the last 5 years.Funny, but also untrue
It's sad.
You are still so butt hurt over Romo not getting the job back.
You guys are just making things up. When have I ever called Dak a bus-driver? He's not.Did they play it close to the vest at times? Of course. He was a rookie, so why wouldn't they? But neither the numbers nor the eye test support this idiotic insistence on Ravi's part that he played the bus driver role
Are you shitting me? That was far from Dak's finest game. The early drives where we trailed 21-3 were clearly the difference in that game-- that and the interception and the unnecessary spike. One of those drives you can lay at the feet of the refs. The others are on the passing game.You would think that after the Green Bay playoff game where he played his finest game of the season in a game where he put up over 30 points (in the exact scenario Ravi said he wouldn't be to do it in) would be enough to finally make him stop living in this alternate reality that he has created in his own mind, but it hasn't.
RG3 has missed 38 of a potential 64 games. He's brittle, and was not very good either.Yeah because he has played every game for the last 5 years.
Well we crossed wires. I was thought you were saying Romo wasnt brittle.RG3 has missed 38 of a potential 64 games. He's brittle, and was not very good either.
Dak is clearly better. The net effect though of his controlled play are similar stats to RG3's rookie year. Much more similar to those than to Troy Aikman's.
