Im starting to think they are just doing all of this for Hard Knox.

You think it’s out of the realm of possibility that Jerry Jones would manufacture drama?
ETA- I’m not suggesting Prescott’s arm isn’t hurt, I’m just suggesting that it’s possible they want to show how smart they are bringing in major league pitcher specialists and the like.
Seems half real and half contrived.

In a world where coming to training camp in a hot air balloon and freezing your foot off wasn't manufactured drama for Hard Knocks I'm willing to believe anything.

I forgot about that. What a bizarre series of events. He’s to believe AB has been quiet this long.

He's on my local news every night and the way the summer had gone there's always a few seconds video of him throwing. It's so weird but anyone in TX OK has seen this progression.
He was definitely hurt a couple weeks back when they claimed not.
He looked fine the last couple times. One highlight is a pretty deep pass that drops right into the WRs hands. I think- He couldn't throw deep with touch if he was hurt.
Maybe he is, what do I know, just...grain of salt

All the local reporters and staff are saying he’s fine and literally loling at the national guys (who haven’t stepped foot inside the state) who are saying otherwise.
Imho if he were seriously hurt the Cowboys would have already brought in a QB and the players would be ####ting bricks.

This X 1000. Thank you.
I didn't get Dak this year. I had him lat year and was marching to a title when he went down. So sad. I would not have hesitated to take him this year except my league inexplicably all decided to go QB early and I didn't get him.
I hope he stays healthy though as I got Amari.

DAK is BACK!!!
Dude looks great out there. It’s amazing to think it wasn’t that long ago he was being carted off with a compound fracture. Amazing.

First game back from horrific injury and just shredded the Super Bowl winning Bucs D, no big deal.
With as terrible as that Dallas D still is and those weapons, if he stays healthy this guy will be QB1 this season.

By what metric? You seriously trying to compare Dallas and Tampa’s D? Tampa lost their slot corner mid game. Dallas Defense is still trash. TB could get anything he wanted all game. For this reason alone, your boys shouldn’t have settled for that FG late. You give Brady the ball back with that amount of time against that D and only need 3, that’s inevitable.

Yards and Turnovers to name two categories off the top of my head. It would have been less points too if Gregg could kick a 26 yarder.
Dallas also had their way with Tampa's defense. The supposed better defense.
I agree the Cowboys should have gone for it but that has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

what’s your point? Are you arguing that Dallas is on equal footing with Tampa defensively? Does Tampa not have a good defense?
What Dak and that offense did to that Tampa defense was impressive. That’s the point. He lit up a good defense. Tampa performed like they should have against that Dallas defense. Nobody is surprised Tampa had their way with them. Dak’s performance in his first game coming off that injury against this defense was impressive. It’s not that hard to understand. You seem to be taking issue with the fact that Dallas has a bad D. And you want to argue about it in the Dak thread for some reason.

Tampa might be the best defense he faces all season.
Dak has now gone over 400 yards passing in the last 4 games he played start to finish. I'm saying that is sustainable, but I do think it makes him the favorite to lead the NFL in passing yards.

-Tampa lights up the Dallas defense
-Dallas lights up the Tamp defense
Your response = The Cowboys defense is awful.
As you said, “it’s not that hard to follow”.
Dak was great last night and he shoulda won. Lamb killed two drives by himself and the kicker was a mess.

The shoulda won part goes both ways. Fournette and Godwin had stupid turnovers that "shoulda" had TB score more points. Godwin in particular at the goal line.
I thought the real difference was TB special teams >>>>>>>>>>>> Dallas special teams.

The Cowboys D is bad. That’s a fact. For you to argue otherwise is to be the ultimate homer.
Like I said, the fact that Dak lit the Tampa D was impressive. The fact that Dallas D got shelled by Tampa is expected. Like I said, shouldn’t be hard to follow.

I'm not sure his point is that Dallas' D is good but more Tampa's D was overrated last night.
Johnny Utah #9
Footballguy
One game does not make a D. Tampa has a good defense by any metric. Dallas does not. So is he, or you, arguing that what Dak did last night wasn’t impressive? That’s the whole point. Why he is taking issue with someone commenting on the merits (or lack thereof) of the Cowboys D in a thread about Dak is a whole other matter. He’s probably just salty his Boys took the L.

Any chance you could try and be a little less condescending ? We’re trying to have a conversation here but if you wanna keep throwing jabs at me we can do that. It’s going to end up with both of us getting suspended.

Dude, you’re the one who inItially responded to my comment about Dak (in the Dak thread) with some attempt to defend the honor of the Dallas defense for some reason. It was never the point. If you want to state your case defending the Dallas D, knock yourself out. I’m not going to clutter up the Dak thread anymore with this nonsense. I’m done here.

I'm just explaining how I read his take. I also specifically said "last night" meaning, yeah, it was one game and really not much to draw any conclusions about. Dak certainly had his way last night. It is a one game sample size.
I have Dak on one of my teams and I was thrilled with how he played last night. It looks like he picked up where he left off last year which is great.

His Oline held up better in pass pro than I expected, given the injuries.
He made some great throws, some in tight windows. Also could have been picked a couple of times.
He looked fine.
On the "defense is bad therefore game script will dictate less yardage for Dak" narrative, I think the jury's still out. last year they were getting killed on the ground and they held up there better than I expected them to. Is that because the TB rushers stink? They felt they had better matchups to exploit passing? Hard to say.

Well as a Dak drafter, this much improved Dallas D is certainly an unwelcome development I didn’t see coming. Between this and the improved effectiveness running the ball, I guess it’s time to recalibrate expectations going forward.
For non drafters, I think he's a buy low. He's playing outstanding football, and has had some bad TD luck. He could have had 5 TDs(including 1 on the ground) tonight. I also think he'll be throwing more when Gallup comes back. They've been running more and using more 2-RB, and 2-TE sets in Gallup's absence.
ETA: I like Amari Cooper as a buy low as well.

Feel like the Eagles made Dallas look better than they are on both sides of the ball.
I’m reserving judgement for a couple more games.

I hope this is the case. The low yardage the last two games have been troubling. Hopefully they can find themselves in some shootout situations in the near future. These NFC East games won"t fit that profile this year.

Feels like Matthew Stafford. They just don't need to win with his arm alone recently and I'm not sure Dallas is interested in running up the score. That throw to Schultz at the end was a big joke of a TD lol
Difference here is that have Zeke and Pollard to wear out defenses and end games sooner vs. Buffalo and LAR
Definitely some risk here, but he has the weapons. Buffalos the same way but they are interested in pouring on the points until someone stops them- their defense is good enough now to prevent shootouts.

I think the Rams have that too, they just decided not to use it against Tampa Bay. They certainly did against Chicago, and to a lesser extent Indy.
Fantasy wise, I'm still Allen>Dak>>Stafford.
I also think as the season goes on, its possible/probable that Dak adds some rushing production, not as much as Allen obviously, but certainly more than Stafford, or a guy like Brady or Rodgers.
I'm still viewing Dak as a top-5 QB going forward. He's likely only going to get better the further removed he is from his injury.

possibly - but it'll all be through the air. You can tell he doesn't want to run the ball. Don't blame him. That would be in my head.
