B+....... although #7 can be a missed block, wrong route or bad read, I think he can avoid a few more sacks by throwing the ball away a bit more. The good news here is he's notorious for keeping interceptions to a min. Otherwise, he's nailed the other 10 IMO

Bill Parcels’ 11 Quarterback Commandments
  1. Press or TV agents or advisers, family or wives, friends or relatives, fans or hangers-on, ignore them on matters of football, they don’t know what’s happening here.
  2. Don’t forget to have fun, but don’t be the class clown. Clowns and leaders don’t mix. Clowns can’t run a huddle.
  3. A quarterback throws with his legs more than his arms. Squat and run. Fat quarterbacks can’t avoid the rush.
  4. Know your job cold. This is not a game without errors. Keep yours to a minimum. Study.
  5. Know your own players. Who’s fast? Who can catch? Who needs encouragement? Be precise. Know your opponent.
  6. Be the same guy every day. In condition, preparing to lead, studying your plan. A coach can’t prepare you for every eventuality. Prepare yourself and remember, impulse decisions usually equal mistakes.
  7. Throwing the ball away is a good play. Sacks, interceptions, and fumbles are bad plays. Protect against those.
  8. You must learn to manage the game. Personnel, play call, motions, ball handling, proper reads, accurate throws, play fakes. Clock, clock, clock, don’t you ever lose track of the clock.
  9. Passing stats and TD passes are not how you’re gonna be judged. Your job is to get your team in the endzone and that’s how you’re gonna be judged.
  10. When all around you is in chaos, you must be the hand that steers the ship. If you have a panic button, so will everyone else. Our ship can’t have panic buttons.
  11. Don’t be a celebrity quarterback. We don’t need any of those. We need battlefield commanders that are willing to fight it out every day, every week, and every season, and lead their team to win after win after win.

I think he’s pretty much nailed everyone of them. The haters will say different of course but they can’t argue he’s doing well on all 11.

Every one of these commandments echos Be a football player and thats what Dak is .

Lets look at some of these #11 Dak is not trying to be a celebrity we have seen that before . # 10 Dak dosent panic but can look frustrated when the blocking is bad and receivers are dropping the ball understandably

#9 this IMO separates Dak from many other QBs especially some in recent memory who just want to pass the ball . Dak is willing to do what ever necessary to get in the endzone .

#8 he needs to improve on a bit listened to his previous coach when it would have been better if he took matters into his own hands

#7 Good there , Dak protects the ball
#6 I think Dak prepared as well as his coaching Staff would let him that should improve with a real NFL staff we have now

#5 In Daks case its more like know your players Whos going to Tap out when you need them and who not to throw to that will drop it when you need a catch Eagles Game prime example

#3 Dak is a beast stays in shape and is the gold standard for durability an Important quality this team was lacking before he got here .


Not on the list but Dak has worked hard to get better every year and correct his faults this is the sign of a true leader and competitor that is liked and respected by all his teammates and coaches .

Number 9 is no longer true. Fantasy stats is all that matters now.

Yes, agree. But as the OP said, he could use some work on #7, but all is not always on the QB. Though we seen an improvement in the 2019 season.

Also as INT's, there were many bad bounces / tipped balls that were not all on him. Seems we get more weird picks like that than other teams. So I really am referring to ball protection of the sack / fumbles when under pressure.

But then again, how many passes do we as fans see from all the other games. But seems to happen to our QB's, even Romo, and our opponent, we never get those, or rarely do. As Heath seems to get some. Maybe the new defense will change that.

Dak needs to listen less to his agents and look in the mirror. You cant consume such a large part of the team cap and expect to have good players around you.

This will be interesting. Take commentary from Hall of Fame head coach Bill Parcells. Apply it to young quarterback Dak Prescott. Sit back and read all responses solely reflecting upon those two aspects. Let's see...






Well that short-circuited pretty quickly. Typical.
