Don't hate the playa, hate the game. I'm just the messenger

Prime Time tells it like it is

 

[CouchCoach]

If some of you guys hate this team so much, why do you even watch them? Or post on this board?

Frustration and venting with the other fans is the only outlet. Doesn't matter what forum you visit, it's the same. You know how it was on DC.com.

Take the unusual emotional aspect of being a fan and couple that with unrealized expectations and you've got the recipe for some anger.

 

[G2]

So who isn't expected to improve?

 

[dallasdave]

I can’t stand Red Clap. But I agree. He’s holding Dak accountable. That’s something that Valley Ranch is missing.

A new Super Bowl Trophy in the last 20 plus years is what it is missing.

 

[dallasdave]

Jason already laying down the groundwork for this years scapegoat.

Does it bother you that Jason is the second longest Coach in Cowboy history ??? It sure bothers me,but it's better to laugh than cry.

 

[Bowdown27]

The coaching staff didn’t help tony. Can’t expect them to help dak. He’s gotta make decisions and plays on his own like tony did.

 

[HungryLion]

Garretts right. But it’s also nothing that any coach wouldn’t say about a young player.

It’s only news because of the messenger and the fact that the majority of the fan base want redball gone. Myself included.

Jerry will ultimately make the final decision, but if I had to guess who was the one influencing the decision, I believe it was Garrett choosing Dak and getting his wish. I have no confirmation of this but Jerry and Romo's relationship still seems strong while Garrett and Romo are on the outs. I doubt Romo and Garrett would have a strained relationship at the moment if Garrett was advocating for Romo and being forced to accept Dak because of Jerry.

JJ. Bring Romo in as assistant Head Coach/Coach in waiting......

Don't give Jerry any ideas.

Dak - Jason Garrett has to improve in every facet.

This guy stole my answer!

 

[gimmesix]

Don't be mad Skip, it's Friday...let it go

How was Garrett's critique "scathing"?

 

[Stash]

lol, Garrett telling someone else THEY have to improve is comical.

Isn't it? What an incredible lack of self awareness.

 

[Boyzmamacita]

I wondered who was behind the attempt to move up and get Lynch and then go for Cook? According to what I've read, Wilson was the guy in Dak's corner.

I am not a Garrett fan but the man knows QB mechanics and that was what gave him a NFL career and what I don't get is the Garrett backlash for the man speaking the truth. The man does exactly what a HC should do and there is not a player on that team that doesn't know Dak did not deliver when it counted. Yes, a lot of them failed but the QB position is THE position in the NFL.

Belichick does this openly on his team with Brady and he gets praise and Garrett gets flak for calling it exactly as it is? Can anyone argue against his points? Man, the starting point to get everyone's attention is pointing to the improvement needed by the QB. Garrett is not laying it all on him, he was asked specifically about Dak.

And don't think there are a lot of people in scouting departments pulling for him to make it. They want him to fail, to be the player they thought he was at Miss St. And that was the player I saw play at Miss St, lacking the single most critical need of a NFL QB, consistency. Sometimes, he looks like the man and sometimes he doesn't and while all QB's will have hiccup throws, they do not have that many and continue to be the QB1.

Scouts pulling for him to make it? That's irrelevant.

 

[Melonfeud]

People really need an awareness of context. Listen to what Garrett actually said without trying to truncate it to sound edgy and get back to me.

I've not 'read' it yet,but seeing how it's exclusively carried by USA today,sports section,activated my Feudian senses straight away,,, almost like this was a 'forced' interview dictated by the GM

 

[Stash]

Garrett was not wrong in what he said.

The problem is that Dak does not get the leadership at the HC position or from the position coaches to help him get through it.

No, he wasn't wrong in what he said. He was apparently oblivious to the fact that he, himself is in exactly the same boat!

Every criticism he leveled at Prescott can and should be leveled at him. The major difference is an excuse can be made for Dak after just 2 years on the job while none can be made for Garrett not learning after 10 years as a coach and coordinator.

 

[Risen Star]

Don't know why this is controversial. The QB isn't even close to good enough. Not accurate, lacks pocket presence, doesn't see the field, can't make all the throws, erratic mechanics.

I'd be concerned if our head coach didn't think he has to improve everywhere.

Welcome to the Prescott era.

 

[conner01]

Well yeah, he's going to be a 3rd year player - he should still be improving in every aspect. Especially after the slump in the second half of last season.

I suspect he will say the same thing
Though in bigger news, the staff needs to improve in all facets of the game too

 

[slick325]

Uh oh! This doesn't play into the narrative that the QB had no fault in the offenses struggles. Be careful Red...

 

[CouchCoach]

Scouts pulling for him to make it? That's irrelevant.

Is there a rule that everything, or anything for that matter, has to be relevant. I was merely stating an opinion.
