It's to the point where now i want Romo in just so people will shut up. Dak's problem is he's trying to be a pure pocket passer instead of using his legs, whenever he moves around he makes the defense over commit which opens up the passing game. Romo and his bad back wouldn't make it past the 3rd quarter. Y'all keep focusing on the passing, but Dak brings more to the table from a mobility & physical standpoint.
He refuses to utilize any of this, though. And that's what's so frustrating.
He's intent on standing in the pocket and throwing a strike every play instead of taking what the defense gives him.
So many times he had room to take off and run or should have hit his safety valve within 2-3 seconds after making reads and not committing.
Instead, he just continued to stand in the pocket like a statue to the point the OLine was probably thinking "why the fukk this dude still have the ball in his hands 30 minutes after we snapped it."
What good is mobility if you refuse to use it?
The pathetic thing is that if we put in Romo, he'd probably be more mobile than Dak has the last couple of weeks. Think about that for a second.
Like I said in the GDT, the dominance of the OLine has never forced Dak to develop an internal clock of when to get rid of the ball. He was finally dumping it off after holding the ball for 7 seconds and Witten and our RBs were getting earholed by LBs and DBs running downhill at them.
I'm not anti-Dak, he has a ton of talent. But he seems to be wanting to hit a Grand Slam every time he breaks the huddle instead of just taking the singles and walks the defenses are giving him.
I refuse to believe Beasley was blanketed the entire game.
