It doesn't take a former NFL player to see this.
The dude can't handle pressure. It was easy when you were the 4th round pick, feel good story, that was overachieving.
Now you're paid, expected to be great, and expected to lead your team places. When you don't you're going to get criticized much more for it because of your contract.
His skills can't back up everyones expectations for him. He knows this.
Yah. The expectations of others and the expectations he has for himself is a lot of pressure.
He failed to deliver. He struggled and everyone saw it. I think this is where Kellen failed him. Instead of making some adjustments to help (more RPOs, rollouts, designed runs etc…), they continued to do the same thing and they got diminishing returns.
The “impressive” offensive outputs in Dec were hollow and served to feed the team’s denial of Dak’s struggles. Poor leadership. You can’t freeze up when things get tough… Gotta exhaust options and push through the fear wall to overcome adversity.
We did not do that in 2021. Now we are set to run it back with the same crew in 2022. Expecting different results would be foolish
It's crazy, but why is it his confidence wasn't an issue against teams like the Falcons or NFC east teamsDak clearly did have confidence issues after week 7 last year, hopefully an off-season studying tape and recovering from his injuries will help.

Sadly, I was right about what Dak is and a lot of you were wrong.
His start to this season almost fooled me. Not gonna lie. But teams adjusted and Dak proved he’s just not that kind of player.
Yeah, everyone else is failing Dak inciuding the GM and the coaches and other players but somehow the “elite QB” bears little to no responsibility
That is what scares me about Dak. His lost confidence is a big issue. Dak has not been the same quarterback since the Cowboys collapse in 2019. He makes one great throw, then the next throw is in the stands. Dak is basically Jimmy G.It doesn't take a former NFL player to see this.

yes, teams adjusted after--check notes--75 games played.
