Video: Dak Prescott No excuses now

[PhillyCowboysFan]

First I don’t have a horse in this race. To many problems to pick and choose who is at fault.

Now I didn’t watch the whole video because it’s boring and that guy isn’t a Pro Football Scout or former player with the credentials to be an analyst. So with that said in the very first video he is bashing Dak for a bad deep ball to Bruce and it is clearly obvious that the center was pushed back into Dak while he was throwing preventing him from following through with the throw. He then compares it to the GOAT Brady who has a clean pocket. How can someone post a video claiming to analyze but doesn’t see that.

There was no need for me to continue to listen to this wanna be scout/analyst!

But the all-22, because I said do.. butt hurt Dak fans living in denial after watching this video.

Basically everything in this video is spot-on and exemplifies the scouting reports on Dak. Horrible footwork and mechanics, forces the deep ball with awkward mechanics, doesn’t throw his WRs open, poor vision.. late throwing the ball.. poor vision which is why he’s not a pocket QB and the coach has to limit the the offense to half the field. This explains why he’s better on the run outside the pocket, because then it’s not about dissecting as much and the field is limited to the direction he’s running and everything is in front of him and why he’s awful outside the hashes.

Dak sucks as a STArTER and Watson is a beast..

It’s amazing if Dak becomes the scape-goat. Dak is what he is. The reality is the coaches chose this guy over Romo, while not even giving Romo the chance to compete for his job again and was better than Dak on the practice field and even in the one game he played..

a beast really , thats very small serving size bro, that dude hucks some stuff into coverage he shouldn't and had guys like Hopkins make great plays to keep these things from being INT, than he get hurt , lest see this guy play a full 32 game schedule plus a Playoff game and than compare him to Dak..if he cant stay on the field than no comparison, DW will be RG3 part 2.. he looked great in spurts but also was new and threw in late in the season..remember tape, defenses studying you and now the rehab going to make him run less and be more pocket guy..lets see what happens over a longer period of time..DW is a risk reward guy and those tides can turn quick from spectacular catches and tds to INTs, Fumbles, and more injures..you cant be excited about DW until he actually plays two full seasons..did he win ROTY with the best RB also on the team that could have won it? did he go to the playoffs his rookie season and play WELL in the playoff game? Dak at this point has shown more than DW..so lets shelve that for now..

This biased trash and shows an actual elite wr making a play as Watson throws into triple coverage. He shows a hook that was late then shows multiple smoke screens as a way it should be done.

This is horrible and makes me want to start making videos to educate peole about football.

The guy is not an analyst or have the credibility for anyone to listen to his opinion, but the Zone will....SMGDH!

The funniest thing is in one of the breakdowns, where every year incompletion is shown, the commentators points out how Dez was actually underpaid because he had to play DB plenty of times, saying Dak should have had at least 20 plus INTs.

I said this in the Denver breakdown of Aqil Talib INTs. Talib was reading Dak’s tendencies the whole time and kept jumping the routes and 3 times in like a two minute span, right before one of the INT returns for a TD, Dez has to break up sure INTs by Dak off of Talib jumping the sideline routes.

u could say Dak tendencies or u can say offensive scheme tendencies of our wr's. I hate our offensive scheme. Before Dak was QB, the opposing team would do the same thing to Romo. The good thing about Romo was he was a student of the game so he changed a lot of the plays on the fly but we still didn't get anywhere with romo and we had a super talented team with Romo too. What we won one playoff game with Romo as good as he was? The problem is the HEAD COACH. Teams just know our plays because we run this dated scheme. I mean our outside wr's run the same routes (hardley any in-breaking routes). We never beat teams by out scheming them. Having a great game plan. When we win we win with talent. Either our offensive line bullied the defense and Zeke had a big day or our offensive line gave Dak forever to throw so the play turned into backyard football (after the wr runs its route with the cb stuck to him and then runs another direction once he see's Dak scrambling out the pocket).

Yes i believe Dak sucked last season but put the guy in a better scheme. That's another thing I hate about Jason Garrett. You have to run the play/ or do something his way. No matter how many times its failed we just seem to stick with it. Example: When Chaz Green played LT and gave up what 20 sacks in one half. Why did it take so long for us to bench him? I mean come on I could see from my t.v that green was terrible out there. Or how about the countless times is 1st in goal inside the 5 yard line and we throw the ball 3 straight times. The offensive playbook needs to be thrown into the trash, pour gasoline over it, lite it on fire, then take the ashes and dump them into the river.

This Dak video is okay, but it is disingenuous. The reviewer cherry picks Dak's worst games in the second half of last season to create his video. You don't grade a quarterback by looking at a lowlight video; if you looked at a 2016 highlight video of Dak you would form completely the opposite conclusion. Dak played poorly in the second half of last season, which this video covers, but was good the prior 24 games. In my opinion there were a couple of reasons why Dak played worse in 2017 than he did in 2016.

First of all, the O-Line was worse. In the first half of the season, La'el Collins had some protection issues, and faced many of the league's best pass rushers but the O-line was generally still good when Tyron was in. In the second half of the season, Tyron missed some time, Dak was hammered in the passing game, and his mechanics broke down.

Secondly, a couple of things happened after the Zeke suspension. Dak appeared to press more, which lead to an increase in bad decisions. Also, the Cowboys stopped running play action, I think they ran 12 play action passes in the three losses to the Falcons, Eagles, and Chargers. This was partly due to pass protection issues, I would guess. The Cowboys need to run play-action passes to be successful with Dak as QB, that is his #1 strength as a passer.

Dak has his limitations as a QB. He doesn't always go through his reads quickly enough, which can cause him to be late of throws. He doesn't throw to the deep middle of the field, and he can't throw the fade properly. He will sometimes check down when there is a guy open downfield. He is not the best guy at throwing receivers open. He was also the best rookie I have ever seen at not getting baited into bad throws, he can be very accurate in the right circumstances, he is a good leader, and he can be great in the red zone. He can still get better.

So with all of that being said, I think if Tyron is healthy next year, and Collins stays it RT, and Zeke plays 16 games, Dak will bounce back. The reason I think so is that Dak had all of these problems at Miss St. in his final year too, and bounced back in his rookie season with Dallas. His mechanics broke down under severe pressure at Miss St. too, he was one of the worst draftable QB's at throwing at covered receivers (but the one of the best at throwing to receivers with separation), and he was inconsistent with his accuracy then too because his mechanics broke down.

Dak is a good but limited quarterback. If you protect him and don't let him consistently get hit, and incorporate both a spread offense and a lot of play action, he will not make mistakes, and he will make enough plays for you to win. I expect that as long as he is Dallas's quarterback, the Cowboys will spend a lot of resources on the O-Line, and will start drafting smaller, quicker, and faster WRs, in an attempt to avoid the problems they had last year. As a Cowboy's fan, I would worry more about Tyron's back than Dak's play at QB.

Good points, but the question is this: are you prepared to pay a “good quarterback” with elite QB money?

Yeah, me too. This is why I don't bother to click on most vids. Most of them are cherry picked/slanted, or even worse as in this case, major facets are ignored while the vid maker is screaming out an invalid point.

 

[kskboys]

Playing DB on a contested ball is one of a WR's jobs. It's not something to crow to the heavens about or to claim victim status. Seriously, it's like people don't watch football. All QB's throw contested balls, and all WR's have to bail out their QB at times. This isn't some revelation that should be spewed to prove some point.

 

[Jumbo075]

Over/under Dak gets extended at the half way point next season?

Under - because it is against league rules for an NFL team to extend a player on his rookie contract with more than 1 year left on his contract. So, the Cowboys CANNOT extend Dez until next offseason.

I love it how so many posters always quote the weaknesses part of Dak’s college scouting reports. However, you never see them post the positives part of Dak’s college scouting report. Because the positives part doesn’t suit their agendas.

Without quoting stats please name some of his talents that will give us a reason to believe he is the anointed one for us at QB for years to come.

Do not use he has a cheap contract or he was a rookie phenom just cold hard facts concerning what talents he has to guide America's team for the next 10 years....

For example here's some of the reasons I along with 35% of the Boys fans here DO NOT believe in Dak...

1.Poor Accuracy
2.Poor Throwing style
3.Poor Arm in general
4.Poor Pocket awareness
5.Poor timing on releasing the ball
6.Poor man up level when pressured (Deer in the headlights Dak)
7.Poor overall decision making .
8.Poor downfield vision
9.Bad leadership (throwing his teammates under the bus like the Dez in the helmet comments)
10.Poor reads for the defense.

Awaiting your comments on what talents warrant Dak's holding the most coveted position in the NFL.....
here's a taste of no 1 to 10 issues Dak brings to the table....Great video by the way man!

 

[BrassCowboy]

The line was not that bad last year. Sure, there was the Atlanta game, but other than that they were pretty par for course (or a little over par). Defenses played us differently this past year. Clogging the middle and daring Dak to throw the ball. Certainly SB worthy.

1 through 10 are spot on. We don’t need scouting reports to know this guy is weak. The eye test will tell you all you need to know about the catastrophe we have a the the Qb position. Just hard to believe the denial his apologists are in. The search for a real Qb continues

You can fool some of the people some of the time but you cannot fool all of the people ALL of the time!
When in the near future the People turn against inept Dak our team will be bottom dwelling for years to come...and once again Rebuilding again and again!
Jerry you salesmen having all these brother Boys fan thinking you pulled a rabbit out of the Hat with Dak....oh Jerry you are the KING OF BS man!!
THE KING !!!!!

The only time Romo had any real control of the offense was in 2014, when Jerry banished Garrett from the offensive side of the ball. Before the new contract, Romo wasn’t even allowed in game-planning meetings and just executed whatever garbage Garrett put out.

Dak at least had Linehan for multiple years and an all-pro OL that played together for multiple years, along with Zeke.

a beast really , thats very small serving size bro, that dude hucks some stuff into coverage he shouldn't and had guys like Hopkins make great plays to keep these things from being INT, than he get hurt , lest see this guy play a full 32 game schedule plus a Playoff game and than compare him to Dak..if he cant stay on the field than no comparison, DW will be RG3 part 2.. he looked great in spurts but also was new and threw in late in the season..remember tape, defenses studying you and now the rehab going to make him run less and be more pocket guy..lets see what happens over a longer period of time..DW is a risk reward guy and those tides can turn quick from spectacular catches and tds to INTs, Fumbles, and more injures..you cant be excited about DW until he actually plays two full seasons..did he win ROTY with the best RB also on the team that could have won it? did he go to the playoffs his rookie season and play WELL in the playoff game?

The throws he makes in the small sample size with his mechanics at his best are light years better than Dak at his best.. if you count college it’s not even close.

Dak had an all-pro line and more talent than the Texans, who couldn’t accomplish much without DW.

But I see your point.

Light years you people are sad thats so laughable light years you say ....lets talk about it in 3 years ..DW hasn't played full season yet..no way what i saw changes anything about how i felt about rg3 comparison.until he can stay healthy and plays a full season and than another and wins something's other than few games.. I say the same thing about Jimmy Garapalo nothing to really base what he got that ridiculous contract for.. nothing its way to small of sample size..

Dak played two full season and a playoff game he won ROTY , Pro bowl and he may have dropped off but hes led a team to 22-10 over two full seasons and hasn't missed a snap..hes proven what he can do, slumped bit but still has lots room to grow..btw you want comparisons you give us that Texas Defense and we win that Rams and Packer games as Dak played well the offense put up over 30 and we lost..those two games cost us the playoffs.. lets do all this speculation etc Dak didnt have defense the first 6-8 games and games were blown because of it including the 2016 PLayoff game..we win that with a Texan defense..

lest see what happens when these new guys have real pressure on them in big games and see not only can they play, but limit mistakes and get their teams in the playoffs and al this and stay on the field....

I’ll tell you what. I’ll post some actual facts, as soon as you post some actual facts.

Because a bunch of the “facts” you list are just opinions.

For instance, Dak does not have a poor arm, or a poor throwing style. Professional scouts all say the opposite. Most of his issues with accuracy stem from his footwork and transferring the energy from his lower legs to his upper body. There’s nothing weak about Dak’s actual arm. He also has a pretty solid delivery with his shoulder motion. Hence why he is able to throw very well while on the run.

His feet are the problem. Of course, you’re either too biased or don’t know enough about football to recognize that.

Dak doesn’t have bad leadership. Dak doesn’t have a “deer in the headlights look”. At all. He has led multiple 4th quarter comebacks in his two years playing. And he also played well in his first playoff game, which is rare for QB’s.

Dak isn’t perfect at reading defenses or going through progressions. He still has a lot of work to do. However, he is actually not bad at it, for a second year QB. Very few second year QB’s see the field or go through their professions markedly better than Dak. And his decision making is also pretty good for a young QB. One knock may be that he is too conservative with the ball.

Again, Dak’s issues with accuracy and timing all stem from footwork and pocket awareness. That is all true. But unlike what agenda driven or football illiterate people like you want to state, his accuracy issues don’t have anything to do with a lack of physical ability. That’s pure nonsense. And it’s why no profiessionsl scout has ever questioned his physical ability to do the job.
