Honestly...I trade him....before this becomes a cancer. And it's getting close to that point. We got a shot this year...just on talent alone. Don't blow this just because some punk wants to be overpaid.

while I am not happy dak didn’t take the deal....I don’t know how you can say it’s close to him being a cancer...

He has always been a big team guy and is very well liked in the locker room, doesn’t cause trouble off the field and has shown to be a good leader.

he’s not a cancer, greedy maybe, motivated to do what is best for him and his family absolutely, but a cancer he is not

who knows, but considering his brothers reaction to this tag and how Dak has been neglecting this contract for 2 years sways me to believing it's true. For us fans it's one step at a time, and no matter what happens to any contract, for me it's one day closer to him playing elsewhere.

He may not be a cancer...but the situation is. The media won't let this go....and it could tear this team apart. I know I wouldn't let it get to that point. I don't care how good the player is....or he thinks he is.

IF this is true, he should be traded. IF being the key word. At this point I could care less one way or the other.

Well his actions are more in line with a guy wanting to move on that is for sure. I have been through the potential suitors. Outside of NE it’s slim.

I am still trying to get that Broaddus picture out of my mind. I just ran upstairs to make sure my girls were ok. Jeez someone close to him tell him he must change that.

If the team mentality is so fragile that the media can so easily tear it apart, they are no where near championship caliber.

Believe they offered him a deal worth more than Wentz and Goff got and close to what Wilson got.
That's plenty fair.

What was the guaranteed amount? All I saw was a figure fairly equal to Goff's which is not a fair deal when you're asking for an extra year.

Again, an agent wrote an article saying Dak should have expected $130M in guarantees when you compare other deals, which is how it's done. But no offers even in the $120M range? Tell me how $110M is fair then, especially when this piece takes Goff's and Wentz' deals into account. No one ever has an answer for this and just keep repeating the same erroneous claims.

Dak is mediocre in the red-zone when passing and the numbers are skewed from the first three games.

Although it is still a small sample size, Moore’s play calling appears to have improved the Cowboys red zone efficiency. In 2018, they converted 51.7% of their red zone opportunities (26th in the NFL). The were 1-2 against New Orleans. That brings their season total to 10-15 (67%).

The Dak led offenses ended up at 50% this year to end the season as well. And this despite Zeke’s top 5-10 performance in the red zone in terms of scoring and efficiency.

People claim that the OCs limited Dak and not the other way around. In fact, ever since Dak has been here the OCs have been tasked with tailoring the offense to Dak’s limitations. Everybody gives him credit for 2016, but blame Linehan, as if he had no contributions.

After three years as an NFL quarterback, Prescott still doesn’t routinely drop back into the pocket and throw the ball. He did it just twice against the Saints, twice versus Miami, twice in Washington, and three times in the season opener.

To put it another way: Prescott has 127 passing attempts through four games this season, but only nine have come after he dropped back from under center. That means that 118 of his attempts have come off play-action or from the shotgun (93%).

Imagine being an offensive coordinator and knowing that if you want to call a pass play that isn’t a wide receiver screen or quick slant, you basically have two options: use play-action from under center or have your quarterback start in the shotgun.

Smart offensive coordinators will obviously game plan around the strengths of their quarterback, but the flip side of that is offensive coordinators deserve some credit for disguising and minimizing the weaknesses of their quarterback.

Lost in the shuffle of the Dallas Cowboys' three-game losing streak is the inconsistent play of the top-ranked offense (statistically) over the past 11 days. Dallas has scored just 48 points over the team's last three games (16 points per game), but even those numbers have been deceiving.

Dallas has gone five-plus possessions without scoring a touchdown over the past three games, displaying massive inconsistency on an offense that averages just 17.7 points per game against teams with winning records. During the three-game losing streak, the Cowboys are just 15 of 41 (36.6%) on third down and have just 98 rushing yards a game.

Dallas scored a touchdown on its opening drive in its last two games. In the loss to the Bills, the Cowboys went eight consecutive possessions without a touchdown before scoring one when the game was well out of hand. Thursday night, the Cowboys went five consecutive possessions without scoring a touchdown, having four three-and-outs during the stretch and gaining a total of six yards.

The Cowboys haven't given the ball to Ezekiel Elliott either, who has just 52 carries over the past three games. Dallas has thrown the ball 131 times to just 67 designed runs, passing 66.2% of the time. Not good for a team that gave Elliott a six-year, $90 million contract three months ago.

Pretty obvious why Dallas has been inconsistent on offense against good football teams, which leads to why they are 0-6 against teams against winning records in the first place.

Same problem in college when he starts to feel the pressure.

When Dak has a clean pocket and has the time to set his feet, more times than not - he’s going to deliver a good ball. However, when he senses pressure and starts throwing off balance, he starts misfiring. Earlier in the season, Prescott was a lot more consistent with his footwork. He kept his feet moving, always re-directing them towards his target. Once he settled in on where he was going to throw it, he just stepped forward and delivered a strike.

But these consistencies haven’t been on display in recent weeks. Against the Bears, his footwork was all over the place. Many times, he left his stance too open, throwing off balance and forcing his arms to do all the work. The result ended up being wobbly passes and balls delivered just late enough for the defenders to knock them down.

Prescott also threw too much off his back foot. There are times when he can put the sweetest touch on the ball when he’s throwing off balance, but that’s not ideal and he should limit those instances. Sometimes those passes are just terrible throws and give his receivers no chance.

What can be really frustrating is when Dak feels congestion in the pocket, rather than sidestep to give him room to step up and make a good throw, he just decides to take his chances and launch it off his back foot. This results in passes that are difficult for his receivers to bring in, often times sailing away from them.

And this idea that Dak is more successful on first down passing is not even justified. First of all, Linehan called pass more as a percentile than Moore on first down and he ran a lot more. Secondly, there were games Dallas threw way more on first down, but they faced good defenses. Third, in the first three games, the ration was skewed heavily in favor of running on first down. Fourth, even since Linehan and Dak, Dallas has been top of the league in play action usage, so this idea he’s more successful on play-action compared to other QBs is absurd. The guy hardly uses a five or seven-step drop, meaning he is a limitation in the passing game. Romo for example, rarely used play action, though that number increased with Linehan. Garrett as a play-caller completely ignored it

https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/20...dak-prescott-kellen-moore-new-orleans-saints/

There are several major differences in these numbers compared to previous weeks. In Week 4, the Cowboys actually had more passing attempts (12 including play-action) than rushing attempts (nine).

But if you take away the 11 yards on the sack and the 10 yards lost on the penalty, that is only 37 net yards on 11 first-down passing attempts (three yards per attempt). 3.3 yards per pass attempt isn’t much better than 2.1 yards per rushing attempt.
