So blaming Dak for his part makes us wrong? The more posts you create the more you disprove your own skewed logic in attempting to defend Dak.
Not blaming Dak isn’t what makes you wrong but not acknowledging the other aspects of why we lose does

you same people are continually most active in Dak threads and less active in the others except to point out your disdain with Dak . coming up with every metric you can to pinpoint the qb while disregarding the other metrics

we get it you can’t stand Dak .

Dak led us to a two touchdown lead in the 4th quarter. Surely he's trash and it's his fault we lost. He passed 46 times. Had Cooper Rush had been in at QB, we'd have run 46 times. Why isn't the OC sticking with a similar formula on the road at Lambeau in the cold?

Doesn't fit the haters narrative. Pick and choose and blow it up. Comical to say the least.
At this point, the same people spew the same hate to the point it seems personal. Almost like the guy ran over their dog or something.

Can anyone admit the Defense got exposed again with the run, and our team is back to pass-happy? So Dak has company in the blame game. Got no problem calling out Dak flaws, but I do have bafflement for many on this team to continue to get their flaws or contribution to the mess...........swept under the rug.

I think the gap in pay between Dak and Rush is much bigger than the gap in talent.

I much perfer Rush's take what the defense gives us style over Dak trying to be Mahomes.

To me, the major difference between the two is Dak has zip on his passes. You can't be throwing 15-20 yard floaters. Dak has a little more escape ability than Rush as well. But beyond that, I think Dak gives us probably 2 more wins. Is that worth 40M a year? Up to you.

I predicted 8-9 with a healthy Dak before the season. I believe we'd be on pace from that right now if Dak never gets hurt.

End of the day Dak Prescott is a bus driver as is Cooper Rush. The only real difference is that Dak parallel parks a bit better. Jerry once again made an emotional decision instead of looking at the body of work. Sit back and enjoy the mediocrity he isn't going anywhere for a few more seasons and even then I suspect he will be extended.

Why pick on Dak?

Because QB is the MAIN driver of the team and a great QB makes the game exciting, even if the rest of the team is average. Watching Dak is like watching a guy try an swim out of quick-sand.

I like to watch exciting players that have the tools, not guys getting baby-sat in the top professional sports league for football holding the team back.

Yesterday was a perfect indication of that right? A mediocre QB with decent talent around him lost to a good/great QB with mediocre talent around him. It's going to be hilarious if last nights game provides the impetus to GB to reel off a string of wins and make the playoffs.

Again, look at DAK the whole time.

The DB running Schultz a little off his route happens WAY BEFORE Dak even throws it. “Mr. SLOW PROCESSOR” was staring Schultz down the whole time and didn’t even see the deep safety in reality looking at him the whole time. Dak thought Schultz was wide open and threw it and the safety made an easy pick.

Had zero to do with miscommunication as far as Dak is concerned..


Freeze it at the point where Pollard (top of screen) is at the 5 yard line. Dak still hasn't thrown it but the CB covering Pollard already is beat but the CB already knows that Dak is going to the middle and is breaking off his coverage. I have no clue what is going on at the bottom of the screen but who ever was on the left was one on one.

I also don't understand this play. You have 5 running routes but 4 of them end up in the same 3rd of the field and two are stacked on top of each other, and that is evidently where the play is supposed to go. Seems like a bad play design with an even worse execution of it.

Maybe you need to stop staring down your receivers so the safeties don’t put themselves into perfect positions to INT your passes that “show you can throw into tight windows if the defenders aren’t there”?
Did someone ask Dak....'if Schultz and CeeDee weren't there, why did you throw it anyway... do you ALSO have an issue with reading whether timing slants have been blown?'

Literally, no one is open on this play. Should've just thrown it away. I also don't understand the lack of an underneath option with all receivers going to the end-zone even if it is 3rd and goal, especially in this red-zone situation.

Like I said buddy, when Dak gets them credentials, then he can throw as many HORRIBLE interceptions like that for his ride off into the sunset. We will gladly tolerate him in his last hoorah..

Not sure how this relates to Dak. In this one Brady clearly underestimates how back the LB is and how high he can jump. It is a bad throw for sure but that is more of a play by the LB. Now if Brady would have drilled it in his chest that is a different story.

Maybe the OC and the QB is audible out of them. Maybe the QB thinks he knows more and is better than he actually is.

It was cover 2, meaning the middle is generally where the defense would be exposed. The LB actually did make a good play, as he had inside leverage and he did run Schultz off his route, so Schultz had to delay his break.

The problem again is Dak and his slow processing.
He was staring Schultz down the whole time and threw it well after Schultz made his break inside, meaning he was just watching his first read no matter what and they safety it was basically sitting there waiting. Dak just keys in on his first read and stares them down.

So it’s just a case of using the truth of what Schultz should have done, to hide Dak’s mistake. Plays aren’t made in a vacuum and there is a defense you are throwing against. As @CowboyoWales said, the timing was blown so he should have known. But he’s a 1-read QB basically.

If Dak pulled down, he could have run left or right as he had two wide open holes to net significant yardage. He had all the time in the world.

He's a very good bus driver who wants to drive a Ferrari. He and KM should stick to what he's good at rather than trying to be flamboyant (CUT OUT ALL SLANTS), can't his a east west route.
Our offense works off run first.

Right. His rookie season is still his most successful campaign and that was the same season Zeke was destroying teams running all over them. Perhaps stick to developing the running game and fewer passes for Prescott. Maybe 20 or less passes a game and more runs.
