The weak pathetic feminine coaches need to sit Dak down and tell him: son we are dissapointed in how you played. You are afraid to throw a deep ball and if you are not able to do that, we will bench you. Now next game we expect you to play with confidence in your ability and get it done.

Our nancy boy coaches will never saw this. Safe Space, Triggered. Pansies.

Dak is afraid to lose and needs this talk or he needs to be benched period. You cannot play the entire game within 10 yards. Just can't.

We could have Julio Jones, Antonio Brown, and DeAndre Hopkins, and it would have looked exactly the same.

Curious on your thoughts about how he missed that wide open 12 yard out on 4th and 10 to basically end their last best hope of scoring. After all the back and forth this offseason/preseason and flack you took from his supporters, it seemed kind of poetic that he missed it to basically lose the game.

I’ll still stick with him for now. If he doesn’t improve? Go with White,and get him the reps. I mean this offense? It’s the same old story....nothing’s changed from last year. Sloppy and undisciplined. Got to improve by next week,losses are huge in this league.
The chances of White ending up being a franchise QB are very low.

Dak is just an average backup, but after this coaching staff's work he got worse and worse.

His fundamentals are not getting any better since his rookie year and he lost his mojo. Last year, the Denver game got him fully exposed.

True...……nothing us fans can do about it.

Well I hope those guys with their fancy offices in Frisco enjoy being 0-1 to start the season.;)
They are not happy with the loss. They are never happy with losing. They are human. Is the path they think how the franchise will eventually win and win consistently different from what you, me or other fans envision? Yes. And that's the thing.

I don’t think Prescott sucks, but I do think at this point he severely limits what the offense can do, which is problematic for not only the offense but the defense as well.

There have been a litany of quarterbacks to look impressive in their rookie season only to tail off and end up out of the league in short order. I’m fearful this could be the trajectory, as there’s no telling when we may be able to find another quarterback that allows the team to be competitive.

The decision to not allow Romo to play again in 2016 will only be able to be truly judged after it is known how the Prescott era plays out. It has a chance to be an historically bad decision. It also has a chance to be the opposite, but I don’t know how great a chance there is for that.

Even if Dak turns it around and wins a Super Bowl. Throwing away a 13-3 season bird in the hand in order to win the future Super Bowl in the bush doesn't make it a decision worth doing.

We didn't even entertain the thought of playing Romo because of some "hot hand" - too much chemistry to lose podium speak.

All it took for me was one series in that Philly game to see that we had even more potential that year. It looked like two different teams out there. Up until that point, you could argue it was better to have Dak's ability to avoid the bad turnover. But watching Romo sling it around the field after 15 games of bus driver offense, showed that Dak was limiting the offense somewhat by playing that way.

Dak sucks but he also has the worst group of WRs and TEs (combined) in the NFL. No one can get open downfield and he's not very accurate. There are maybe a handful of QBs in the league that can make this cast of character look good.

Dak Prescott is Problem # 1 for our Team....dream that he will get better dream dream dream but in the end # 4 doesn't have the GOD given talent to start at QB for any NFL team esp America's team!!!
I agree with what you say and have been saying that myself after last years fiasco. It's really too bad because you love to see someone like Dak succeed, but it does not look like that is in the cards unfortunately.

He was bad, but it doesn’t help when we are going empty set for nearly three quarters.

We’ve seen this before. 2013-prior. Refusal to establish a run game.

Woeful coaching. I’m beside myself at all the empty sets

5) Abandon run game until it is too late

I think Dak pretty much sucked. But I agree about everything else. When your QB isn't very good at throwing the ball, maybe you keep your best offensive player in the backfield with him and occasionally hand him the ball. Or throw him the ball, or at least use him as a decoy. Because putting Dak back there by himself is flat out idiotic unless he's going to take off and run - which he seems loathe to do. Zeke should not end the game with 15 carries unless he's pulled early in the third quarter.

But I still think we might want to look into a QB who actually is good at throwing the ball.

It almost looked like our offensive coaches decided that we could get Carolina out of run fronts by spreading them out. That's fine if you are a passing team that doesn't rely heavily on your running game.

If we wanted to mess up their run fronts, then use some play-action fakes to get your receivers open or circle your back out of the backfield and drop the ball off to him. Hand the ball off some on second down after a failed first-down run. Run some third-down draws.

We allowed Carolina's defense to dictate what we did on offense.

Three facts.

1. No rookie quarterback has competed in or won a championship in the history of the National Football League (the NFL was nearly 40 years old by the time the first Super Bowl was played).
2. Prescott did not lose the 2016 Packers divisional game.
3. Even Aaron Rodgers rode the bench behind a franchise quarterback.

Short sightedness is as short sightedness does.

No where in my post did I indicate Prescott was the reason we lost the 2016 divisional game.

One could argue it was short sighted to win 8 games and forget what the team had, with 10 years worth of evidence, sitting on the bench.

My point is one of whether not allowing Romo to come back in 2016 to complete his career, which could have continued into 2017 and/or 2018 if he had stayed healthy, was a mistake. Instead, Romo's career was ended to continue on with something that at the time looked very promising. Whether this was the correct move (not just for 2016) will not be able to be judged until Prescott's career with Dallas is either successful or complete.

I kinda get not wanting to mess up the hot streak that season w Dak, but to not even let Romo COMPETE for the job the next season was inexcusable.
