CFZ Since We Insist on Keeping Bums, Prescott Needs a Better QB Coach

[Typhus]

The blocking upfront helped him find some lanes. As the OL has regressed so has his success running the ball. Obviously the injury he suffered in 2020 will likely keep him from running the ball like he did early in his career.

Very true, but his injuries have regressed his ability to do so, or want to do so as well.

Jon Kitna would be a fabulous choice and would be much cheaper than Romo or Aikman LOL

only problem is Big Mike and Kitna do not get along and mike likes to be the qb whisperer

Clearly, you have a selective memory. It was obvious what was going on out there.

You've heard Romo in the booth.

Just like I remember seeing him coaching up Dak with a clipboard in his hands on the sidelines.

You can make up whatever you want, but that doesn't make it true.

Everyone who was watching the games in 2016 saw Mark Sanchez communicating with Dak a lot. He was clearly the one mentoring him. Sanchez knew what his role was when he signed on with the Cowboys and it wasn’t to be their starting QB. No one is saying Romo never helped Dak but he wasn’t mentoring him. He wasn’t about to help Dak take his job.

The injury has made him less eager to run and I don’t think the coaches or Jerry want him to run as much.

Totally agree there.

I keep hearing a handful of couch coaches call Dak a bum... but none of them can ever answer the question as to why Dak is only one of 5 quarterbacks out of thousands who have put up the numbers he has in his first 5 years?? Only 5 quarterbacks out of thousands in a 100 year NFL history and he's one of them. How can a bum do that??

How can a bum have the winning percentage he has?? Why haven't more bums accomplished these small milestones???

There have been other bum qbs over the 100 year NFL seasons correct? So why is he the only bum to join four other solid quarterbacks in NFL history? Oh wait, he's also ranked in the top 10 of the current NFL starters according to a few publications. Why aren't more bums ranked in the top 10??

Please explain this to me...

It's because many in this website are not that smart. That's why.

Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott reveals Tony Romo was a coach for him

"I feel Tony did a great job, and I commend Tony and thank him so much for that - being another coach for me, helping me out on the game, in the middle of a game, at practice, on the field, off the field, giving me advice.

"He went through exactly what I went through in taking over the position from an older veteran and knowing what it's like to be a quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys."

Try again, bro?

Dak was just saying the right things. I wish the romosexuals would just be fans of another team at this point

Because the entire league knows exactly how to defend against him and the good teams could care less if Dak puts up the pretty numbers.

So Dak is the only quarterback in 100 years of NFL football that has managed to do what only 4 other quarterbacks have done in their first five years that thousands of other quarterbacks haven't been able to do, and have a very good win percentage as a starting quarterback because......

"The league knows exactly how to defend him? HUH????

So according to your logic, there's alot of quarterbacks who doesn't play as well as Dak has played through his first five years.... because the league DON'T know how to play them... so your logic says once the league knows how to play against you.... you put up numbers, have a higher winning percentage and rank in the top 10 in the entire league at your position. HUH????

Now what's wrong with that picture....

That's like saying a boxer has a higher winning percentage and is ranked in the top ten of his weight class.... because everyone knows how to beat him.... WHAT?????

SO, we need to pay Romo more than the 20m he is making as a broadcaster to be Dak's rah rah guy?

Maybe we should check into Brady's QB coach in those developmental years.

The guy Brady relied on didn't work for the Patriots. He was a private coach...and he passed away I believe

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Is it me?

Or did Dakota P. seem to show the most promise as a player when Romo was in his ear a lot?

Nussmeier has the experience for a job like this. But I think Dakota would just play better if he had a QB coach who had real NFL experience.

I'm certain Romo could do the job better than almost anyone. And as classy as he was, he never seemed to feel threatened by Prescott. He was actually trying to help him win the best he could, even though he wasn't behind center. And Dakota responded well to Romo's advice, I think particularly because he knew Romo was a legit QB trying to help him bring his skill level up NFL speed.

The main thing I see with Dak is, his lack of urgency.

I actually went back to watch Brady's first Super Bowl win last night.

It wasn't pretty.

It was your typical bus driver performance.

In fact, it was pretty awful. Brady is playing better at 44 than he was at 24.. In any case, in that first Super Bowl, you can tell Brady had his head in the game. You can see he wants to win it. And you can see he's focused on trying to give his team the best chance to win.. Not force anything stupid, etc .

Kurt Warner, on the other hand, forced something stupid four separate times, and it cost him twice.

Had he eliminated just one of those, the Rams win.

In any case, I'm fine with the coaching staff from a football standpoint. But they are lacking a bit in other areas like psychology, and anthropology (Belichick is a great anthropologist), and they need a QB coach who brings the best out of Dakota P. and coaches him up enough to take the risks needed to win without throwing the game being stupid ala Kurt Warner.

Using Brady as an extreme metric or comparison for Dakota P at least allows us to see how even the best quarterbacks in the game are really just bus driving bums after all.

So, it's a mindset that our team doesn't have.

You can see the mindset and cohesiveness the Patriots have as a team in that game and that kind of has little to do with the players and very much the coaches.

They surely didn't win that game from what Brady did.

It was more about what Brady didn't do.

So if we're keeping king bum beater, at least bring him a decent QB coach because chances are we'll have to face some elite QBs along the way.

And maybe our defense can bail out Dakota like the defense bailed out Brady in his first Super Bowl win, and prove all the haters wrong.

I think there's a small chance that can happen, even with the average QB play we're currently getting from Dakota, but he has to have the right coaches around him.

Nah, i think he just needs a better arm and reading defenses better....but i think he has maxed out on both departments.

 

[The Fonz]

There is an easier fix:
Just move on from him

The problem with Dak can be clearly seen on his scouting report coming out of college. He is "overly concerned" with the pass rush and as a result is slow to make reads down field. Amari said something to that affect at the end of last season. Dak admitted he has to get faster processing coverage. You can't fix it. He is going to do well against teams we can block and melt against teams with a good pass rush. He's not going to stand in the pocket , plant and throw if he thinks he's going to get hit.

As I've been saying for years, he is a bus driver who can thrive in a run dominated offense.

This is it, it's not just one thing.

He wasn’t about to help Dak take his job.

When Romo was injured, which was a lot, he wasn't around anyway. He wasn't practicing fulltime and when he hurt himself the last time, he didn't hang around the facility.

Keep stacking the Oline Dline and Defense through the draft. And draft the future QB next year. Dak is a lame duck. He is not taking this team anywhere. And I am really disappointed us fans have to wait at least 2 more years for some hope at the QB position. I still think Dallas should draft Cole Kelley this year and see if they can get lucky with a late round QB.

 

[bigE79]

The black kurt cousins is what he is, good against bad teams,chokes against good teams..
Doesn't matter who the qb coach is,the results remain the same.

[MountaineerCowboy]

If Dak was a pure pocket passer and not a dual-threat QB in college he would have never been drafted. He has since given up his dual-threat game and the offense is worse off for it. Dak will now try and fit the ball into a tight window to Noah Brown on 3rd and 4 instead of using his legs to pick up 5 yards.

A coach is not going to help him at this point because Dak has no idea how to read a defense and he doesn't have the arm talent to make all throws needed. Dak is Dak and you cannot teach talent that is not there.

Dak could make up for that stuff by using his legs, but he seems terrified to do this and seems focused on being a pure pocket passer.

 

[shabazz]

We just unloaded a couple bums that don't show up mentally every game

I'm a known critic of Rayne, but he's not a bum.......hes just not worth that contract but it's not because of laziness, or desire.
