I've anticipated that these critical types of posts involving Dak would be forthcoming with our OL's pass pro having regressed as it has. It's virtually impossible for any NFL QB to operate efficiently with the anemic kind of protection that our current OL is currently affording him. Until such time as the FO, the staff and the players find a way to resolve our inadequate pass protection, we can justifiably expect more of same.

Romo never took us anywhere so I'm glad he's not that.

Romo made some really bad teams so much better. So to say that is so wrong in ny opinion. Romo carried this team on his shoulders for years and years. He never had the team Dak did last year. He got destroyed by media and fans and it was not fair. It just drives me nuts when people here say Romo never took us anywhere. Funny though when Dak loses its the defenses fault. No one ssid that when Romo was playing. On much worse teams for that matter. But lets not make this another Romo thread. We been thru it already

Romo never took us anywhere so I don't want Dak emulating that.

Can't turn on your quarterback until year 4.

are you comparing a five-time Super Bowl quarterback to a not even made it to the championship quarterback?

I love it when people cherry pick some outlandish statement to justify their own outlandish statement.

Huh? What are talking about. I never ever ever once compared Romo to Brady. What are you talking about. Im talking about the people here who actually said today Dak is better than Tom Brady today. Thats what I was talking about.

I mean for goodness sake, the offense put up 30 points. Did we expect it to put up 50 every week?

Again what does that have to do with my point? Romo put up 30 pts many games and still lost. How is fair to use as an exuse for the all mighty Dak but not for a guy that has saved this clueless organization from being the Cleveland Browns only to get s""t on in the end

Dak was not drafted before the 4 th round

he is not accurate - has no touch on his passed

http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/dak-prescott?id=2555260

Weaknesses Beat up this year thanks to poor protection. When he wasn't being sacked, he was being hit hard. Not as competitive a rusher in 2015. Sacks and usage in run game might be taking a toll. Increase in short pass attempts from 86 to 208 this year reason for higher completion numbers. Accuracy on intermediate and deep throws dropped sharply. Pocket poise has been compromised. Hyper aware of pressure around him and lacks awareness to slide and find temporary shelter to make throw. Concern over pressure too often trumps ability to get through progressions. Must speed up the pace of his reads. Footwork is a mess. Slight stride onto stiff upper leg with little weight shift. Restricted follow through and too often tries to muscle throws with upper body. Throws to target rather than leading or throwing them open on short/intermediate throws. Too respectful of underneath coverage and must be more willing to challenge the defense. Needs to improve anticipation.

NFL Comparison Brett Hundley

Bottom Line Hard to find an NFL comp for Prescott because he's built like Donovan McNabb, but lacks McNabb's ability and polish. Prescott has NFL size, mobility and enough arm, but the tape shows a player who must improve his mechanics, poise and quickness through his progressions if he is to become a full-time starter in the NFL. There are absolutely draftable traits and upside, but he will need extended work to smooth out his flaws. Until then, a team would be wise to utilize him on short-yardage packages
There was a reason Tom Brady wasn't drafted until the 6th round............................and?

dude we get it, you love Romo. Obviously Romo wasn't going to take us anywhere all of a sudden with a bad back so he's a moot point. My point about Dak is, for the first time he's facing adversity with Rusher's bearing down on him unlike last year. Give it some time , he should figure it out.

If the guy doesn't figure it out by next year, we simply draft his replacement. Problem solved

Im rooting for him with all my heart. I love this football team. I just wish people would just slow down saying how great he is. Thats my only point. Im not in love with this kid like so many people are. I love live his heart and hos preparation but he major flaws throwing the ball down field accurately. So if our ofdense as whole is not clicking on all cylinders we will be in trouble most games
