    Well he damn sure aint a lie.


    If he was gonna get exposed or hit a rookie wall, it would've happened by now. He was a game manager early in the season, but he's evolved with his downfield accuracy and mobility. He's only gonna get better (I hope). People always bring up the O-line and they're great, but a lot of people try to slight him and Zeke because of it. Derek Carr's O-line is great too, which is even better in pass protection, and he's got the best WR duo in the NFL, but he's the front runner for MVP. Dak has a good receiving core, but he was balling even when Dez was out of the line up.

    Dak is nice. He's very accurate and take care of the football. He can throw it when you need him to win the game if the running game ain't going.

    Damn the stats.

    That boy is the truth he is poised has great athleticism and can throw on the run with great accuracy and he will only get better and fine tune his game.

    I like Dak, but that line giving him 2 downs for every 1 down. Which IMO helps him with his progressions, that line the real MVP. With that said I still think Dak is talented

    He's looking really good this year. I wouldn't call him the truth yet, because we've seen rookie players come in the league, do really well , then fall off. Give it another year or 2

    How many rookie qb coming doing well and fall off the next year? I can't think of one. Rookie qb's who do well continues to do so...you're talking about rookies in general

    RG3 is the one who stands out

    RG3's downhill performance had as much to do with injuries as anything. Up until the last 2 weeks, Dak wasnt running anywhere near as much RG3. As long as Dak doesnt fall in love too much with scrambling and limits the QB option to 1-2 plays a game, he should be fine.

    RG3 also played in a gimmick offense that got figured out pretty quickly. There is absolutely nothing gimmicky about the Cowboys offense.

    Fact of the matter is Dak still has his issues that he needs to work out with coaching in the offseason, but the amount he has improved on just pure game experience on the fly is amazing when history shows that type of situation usually irons in a QBs flaws not fixes them. Fact of the matter is if I was a betting man I would say the Cowboys got the biggest draft steal since Tom Brady, not saying he is gonna win 4 super bowls but quality of play this soon for where he was drafted and the fact we gave up absolutely nothing for him.

    Only time will tell though, but Dak is already clearly a better QB than RG3 could ever hope to be and to argue that point by now would be ridiculous.

    ? , ignore the rookie part then. It's been part of 1 year...I'm not calling him the truth after that. QB's have had 1 season that showed potential then declined. Bradford, Freeman, Cam, Cassell, RG3...I'm not saying he won't be good, just that it's too early to crown him.

    Kapernick also fell off after getting propped up as "the truth"

    Dak is good and doin what hes supposed to do but i gotta see consistency from year to year to really say he's the truth....teams will figure him out and it's gonna be interesting how he progresses

    He really needs more time.

    COWBOYS FANS...DON'T CATCH FEELINGS ABOUT THE FOLLOWING!

    He needs more time because I need to see him more, in different situations. I've seen him with the most dominant running game, behind arguably the best OL in the league, with legit receiving targets, and not being asked to throw the ball a lot. He's a good defense away from the easiest situation a QB could be in. He's thrown 30 or less times in over half his games. His RB has scored in all but 4 games, and broken 100 yards in all but 3 (that's just Zeke. His backfield may have still scored, and broken 100 yards for him)

    This isn't a knock on him...his situation is his situation. But it's why I can't call him the truth yet. As time passes, situations change...so we'll see

    I'm in the wait a few years camp. If he's still balling in 2018 then we can talk. Too many QB's have a spark when they start then turn to garbage afterwards.

    I aint gonna go that far bruh, but if you can't clearly see the huge leap in talent and ability to play the QB position from Dak to the likes of a Tebow, RG3, or an Osweiler you need to re evaluate how you look at QBs. Dak is clearly an NFL starting calibre QB this season aint a fluke. Trust me he wouldn't have EVER took Romo's spot in Dallas with as much as Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett cut for Romo if he was a ? .

    I said jamies Winston and Russell Wilson are going be Hof qb's and it looks like they're on they way. My player evaluation is pretty good. I see the same out of dak with his demeanor. I said he might be... not he's going to be the best because it's some very talented qb's that coming into the draft in the draft in the next couple of years.

    Seems like people are scared to be wrong on calling people great in the making.

    ^^^^I wasn't really talking to you more so everyone else comparing him to RG3 and Tebow. That ? is laughable, RG3 never could recognize a coverage and Tebow couldn't eve ln throw a spiral 10 yards. Even if Dak stays at game manager status he is better than both of them put together. Lol
