News: ESPN: Jason Garrett on Dak Prescott: He knows he has to get better

[erod]

I know he's trying to.

Just not sure if he can.

 

[Bleu Star]

JG is so insightful. Gosh. Makes me all warm inside.

 

[BobSacamano]

You need to get better more then anyone Jason.

You are the main problem. Fix yourself.

Everyone needs to get better to carry his wooden, unimaginative butt.

I wonder if Jason Garrett knows Jason Garrett needs to get a LOT better?

He's enabled by Jerry, so my guess is he thinks he is good to go.

What the refs cost us like 17 points in 16

They didn't cost 17 points, please be real.

The phantom Brice call cost us at least 3 points. The hands to face which was a shoulder pad on mo on 3rd down they went and scored a TD. 7 points. And the pass interference that should have been called against Witten which odds are from the 1 we score. So best case 10 points worst case up to 18 points

Those are normal calls/noncalls other than the Brice penalty. I'm pretty sure Dallas got away with a few that ended up extending drives that would have more or less balanced it out.

Unfortunately no we didn't. Those were all wrong calls hands down not even close that cost us points. Mo never touched his helmet. Jason Witten was tackled before the ball got there and the butler call was straight trash. One of those bad calls/no calls doesnt happen we win the game

 

[PAPPYDOG]

I have doubts he can



He is who he is

Yep couldn't agree more a average QB or better said a below average QB living off the Fat of Zeke and our offline...anywhere else he would be on the bench or cut....

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Its not a flash in the pan if the first half of Dak's second year looked like all of his rookie year.

7 Games without a TD pass....i mean common here and lets add 15 Quarters of offense without a TD what are the odds here Dak will live up to expectations???

Pretty dang low them odds are....lol...

 

[Cowboysfan917]

It was much worse in 2014 *shrug*

You’re right. It was awful in 14... the Dez catch comes to mind

Remind me again of the record number (in the history of this team) of quarters without a TD. And The first half of his season wasn't stellar, either. The Broncos and Rams games come to mind immediately. Zeke was playing then, also, so that excuse is null and void. His games against the Raiders (though a win), Seahawks, and Eagles were borderline atrocious.

 

[Corso]

I have to get better...

 

[skinsscalper]

Dak has two years of play so far. One good one bad. He may turn out to be a dud but it’s simply recency bias to suggest 2016 was a flash in the pan. That’s you coming to a conclusion and then finding evidence to support your conclusion instead of the other way around

Um, wrong. I'm going by how I see the kid trending. You're looking at 2016 and praying it wasn't a pipe dream. Big difference.

We have become the Hope team ....we're hoping Dak is a franchise QB when its evident he lacks the talent to even be under center,we're hoping Byron will pan out at cb...were hoping Jaylon will all of sudden turn into Ray Lewis, and Collins DT will pan out as another Randy White, and our young rooks will all be studs .....day dreaming is free heck dream on my fellow Boys fan sooner or later reality of our situation will hit us like a mack truck....and reality is as follows ....We have a very low talented team and have holes pretty much in every position except HB and Offline....Superbowl here we come!

I don;t think the situation is as dire as you illustrate it, here, even for Dak (though I've been critical of him in this thread). I understand the frustration (I'm living it, too, brother). But this team was 1 game away from qualifying for the playoffs in a season of nightmare scenarios regarding suspensions (don't forget Irving, too, not just Zeke), injuries, and straight bad luck. Coaching also played a role, as they get no pass with me either. But, if I'm being candid, this team's arrow is way more on the upswing than the down. I won't ask you to be patient because we've all been WAY too patient over the last 23 years but, in general, I like the way this team is trending (regardless of my criticism/cynicism).

We've been the hope teams since before Troy retired.

 

[America's Cowboy]

LOL.

It's always amazing to me the bitterness some had over Romo.

It's because he chokes all the time (football & golf). Oh..and went Hollywood during his prime, allowed Jessica Simpson to ruin him, went to Cabo during the playoffs, would wear his cap backwards and played hide-n-go-seek in the mountains of West Virginia with only a bunch of guys during his bachelor party.

Ugh, you again?

I agree on the Raiders and Seahawks games, his pick six againt Seattle is probably the worst pass he has ever thrown. But we still win that game if Dez doesn't fumble, same for the Rams game with Switzer's fumble - and Dak had a QBR of 94 in that game. The Philly game was meaningless and played in below freezing weather, Dak had a QBR of 85 and Nick Foles was much worse.

You are basically listing two games out of 32 starts. He definitely had issues last year and a Sophomore Slump, but so did Drew Brees.
