I'll admit to being wrong. Thought Bama would at least show up.

Re: Off Season & OT Thread.....everything else

Dream on. Dak Is a great backup and nothing more.

He will never be a P. Manning, Brady, Montana, etc..... BUT with the team built around Zeke, the Boys are not looking for that. They just need a guy who can make plays with arms & legs when needed. And a guy who can get the team fired up. THAT is Dak.

Was Hall of Fame QB, and 3 time Super Bowl winner Aikman better than Prescott? I compared their first 3 years below:

AIKMAN YEAR 1
YEAR 1989
YDS 1749
TD 9
INT 18
RATING 55.7

AIKMAN YEAR 2
YEAR 1990
YDS 2579
TD 11
INT 18
RATING 66.6

AIKMAN YEAR 3
YEAR 1991
YDS 2754
TD 11
INT 10
RATING 86.7

PRESCOTT YEAR 1
YEAR 2016
YDS 3,667
TD 23
INT 5
RATING 104.9

PRESCOTT YEAR 2
YEAR 2017
YDS 3,324
TD 22
INT 13
RATING 86.6

PRESCOTT YEAR 3
YEAR 2018
YDS 3,885
TD 22
INT 8
RATING 96.9

Maybe Prescott is better than you think.

Kingsbury is about to become head coach of the Cardinals. The guy got fired from Tech, went to LA and now to the NFL. CRAZY sequence of events

Stats are like bikinis... what they don't show you is far more interesting than what they do.

The biggest weakness I can see about Dak is his arm strength. He does NOT throw the ball deep with any kind of velocity. Definitely not like Aikman or even Romo. Look how many of Dak's "deep" passes were batted away because they float too long allowing the DBs enough time to catch up and make a play on the ball. Think about the game against Hou. I agree about everything else you've stated about Dak. He seems to be a really good leader and the team seemed to accept his role as leader from day one. Dak seems to have a really good head on his shoulders and will definitely leave it all on the field. What he lacks in ability (deep ball) he seems to work really hard to make up with game smarts.

Re: Off Season & OT Thread.....everything else

Cowboys need to hire Kingsbury as OC and QB coach. A successful 2 or 3 year run as Dallas OC, and see him really develop Prescott, and he'd be in the running for an NFL HC gig.

Guess he bypassed those successful 2-3 years.

This is very perplexing. It's sure not my Cardinal money hiring KK (now). What a leap by an NFL team. The owners might as well have pulled a wild hair out of their azz.

Best of luck to the Cards. And good for KK hitting a big payday. But wow, even Lane Kiffin has a better resume.

Re: Off Season & OT Thread.....everything else

This is something I haven't thought of that might be looming in the minds of many around college football and the NFL. Patrick Mahomes and Baker Mayfield spent time under KK and have been very successful in the NFL. The thought process may be that KK can elevate the level of play at QB and that will equate to winning. Once again, where he is a really good offensive mind, he tends to forget that there are other moving parts that need to be addressed to be a really good HC.

From what I've read, that's the mindset of some NFL owners

As he proved at Tech? Either Tech as a program is 3rd rate or Kliff The Klunker is.

https://www.ksl.com/article/46464699...tic-conference

So, where does their football program end up. From earlier articles it was stated that the WAC would have to find a place for their football before Dixie State would make such a move. I believe it is the scenario that played out with Tarleton State. Two questions: 1. Is the WAC going to finally start sponsoring FCS? 2. Is Dixie State going to drop football?

I know the WAC just hired away a Big Sky asst Commissioner to aid Hurd and my thinking at the time was this guy going to start moving WAC back toward football. There is a lot of undercurrent going on to preserve the WAC.
