No it's not. We have much better athletes than vandy year in and year out. Although we do play in a much harder division

In Tebows defense, he did beat the No. 1 D in the NFL that year on like a 70-yd TD pass
In Tebows undefense, the ball traveled about 8 yards in the air.

Considering he's yet to hand the ball off under center, the Cowboys are in trouble if Romo goes down.

How many plays under center does Romo normally take? How many does Brady take? How many did Manning take? I dont think that is a big deal anymore

Doesn't matter, he's one dimensional and teams would exploit that in the regular season. The Cowboys want to run the ball under center and out of the shotgun.

Yeah he looked good so far but until he learns how to play QB under center he won't be ready. People don't like my hot takes because they're actually true.

Meh. Romo took 81% of his snaps from Shotgun or pistol........

I think Dak can figure it out enough to do it 19% of the snaps

Numbers don't mean anything right now. He has to show he's capable of it and I don't think he is.

So far, adjusting to a pro style offense has been one of the toughest adjustments for college QBs entering the NFL.

You dont think he is capable of being under center 12 plays a game? And out of those 12 plays under center, only about 4 will be a pass. I think he is capable of figuring that out...... It isnt an issue like it used to be

He came in early last night, and on his 2nd drive helped take his team about 80yds for a td... at Seattle.

Not sure what more he needs to show as a rookie.

They might be in trouble if Romo goes down, but it won't be because Dak can't figure out how to hand the ball off

Actually do it in a real game when a team prepares all week for you. Buy he won't get that chance this year.

What's the advantage of running under center vs. running from the pistol?

Theres literally no inherent advantage to being under center anymore.

Yep that's exactly what NFL defenses prepare all week for. "WE HAVE TO DISRUPT EVERY SINGLE HANDOFF THIS WEEK!!"
