Dallas Cowboys Holding Dak Back

[doomsday808]

At the beginning of 2017, Dak was pretty much on top of his game and was one of the top QBs in the NFL. The Atlanta game came along and Dak took a nosedive since. The coaches need to step back and reassess what they should do to get back the Dak of old. This actually means Garrett and Linehan needs to do their work and craft an offense that fits Dak. Not the other way around.

I agree. Can someone explain the Kellen Moore coaching hire???

Until last Sunday against the Detroit Lions, Dak Prescott had failed to surpass 200 yards passing in a game this season. He also had a pair of sub-200-yard games to end last season. In the modern NFL, with the rules skewed to encourage passing, those numbers are certainly cause for concern. Over that five-game stretch, the Dallas Cowboys went 2-3. But the most damning statistic? Over that same span, the Cowboys averaged 11.8 points per game — dead last in the NFL and almost nine points below the league average.

The shine of Prescott’s sensational 2016 rookie season has protected him from the criticism that has been heaped on his underachieving offense. Head coach Jason Garrett and offensive coordinator Scott Linehan have been viewed as the problem. Fingers have been pointed at the O-line’s regression after some key losses. The departures of Dez Bryant and Jason Witten have prompted some to blame a lack of playmakers.

I do believe the coaching staff is holding him back. Both coaches showed they are Uber stubborn. And think they are offensive geniuses. They pass in shotgun when they should be running and run against stacked boxes when they should be trying to throw a quick slant.

I can't explain why we hired Kellen Moore. I don't even want to attempt to. It kills my brain cells and makes my nose bleed.

LOL.....man does Dak have a Press Agent printing these BS articles ?????

Sell crazy waving Monkey ........no one is listening except your fellow Dak-bots......who are happy with the 30 th passing game in the NFL....

Your hate is so ******* old.

 

[Rockport]

If you don't like it then don't read it. Simple as that.

Now go away and stop trolling.

He can’t. It’s his character. You can’t change that. Just have to deal with it.

Dak is about to be unleashed!

Every Qb misses open receivers sometimes. Try watching a few other games and you will see it. Happens every single game.

He needs much better play calling and coaching around him. Imagine if he played for the Rams. He woild absolutely tear it up. They have solid coaching and play calling.

Dak is not a interchangeable QB you can’t just say in this offense or that offense he would. There is no proof of that

Thank you!!! I've been saying that ALL season so far!!

 

[ESisback]

Some say coaching, some say Dak, some say OL, some say WR.

As always, I say it’s a little bit of everything!

 

[ShortRound]

lol this is after a win. Go Cowboys?

 

[Clove]

Another Dak thread, good times.

 

[ShortRound]

Some of y'all are wound way too tight.

The fact is Dak hasn’t played well
Blame who you want but he’s missed open receivers and thrown bad passes
He’s got to do better and last week he did play better but he’s got to continue to improve

And who is going to teach him to improve? The coaching staff that has had no success outside of Romo and maybe Kitna for a brief period maybe 10 years ago?

 

[kevm3]

I like how not one player since JG has taken over is responsible for their poor play. Missed FG? JG’s fault. Fumbled ball? JG’s fault. Interception? JG’s fault. Offsides? JG’s fault. Holding? JG’s fault. Pass interference? JG’s fault. Drafting? JG’s fault.

I get the coaching isn’t ideal but my god...I’d love to play for the Cowboys and never be held accountable for my mistakes by the media or fans.

Shut up Ranching! Zip it!

More like player after player and coach after coach aside from our HC loses their job yet the results are the same. Why does qb after qb stink here? Why haven't we been outside of the 2nd round after completely overturning the roster? We can blame everybody else for only so long.

Romo was a very good QB and made big mistakes that had nothing to do with coaching (ie fumbling the snap, the Washington game, I don’t think going to Cabo was a bright idea, there are many others). Dak is a 4th round QB and plays like it under pressure. Romo was undrafted and turned into a very good QB that didn’t regress under JG so what does that say about the coaching? Let me guess, it was all Romo, he coached himself, called his own plays and ran his own offense and he probably even performed surgery on himself.

I agree the coaching isn’t the best but as I’ve always said, this team has always been unbalanced on one side of the ball or the other. With the exception of a couple of players, my understanding is Jerry used to run the draft and lately it’s been McClay with Jerry still recently meddling in the 2nd round. The team is finally starting to look more balanced, not quite there yet though.

I mean seriously, do you think JG advocated having no true No 1 receiver or no TE? He was begging Witten to stay when most people here were begging Witten to retire. Yeah, it was about time for Witten to go, just as it was Romo and Dez but that doesn’t change the fact they did nothing to address glaring holes in our offense.
Until recently we had the best O line, Dez was in his prime and we had the leading rusher with Murray but we also had no pass rush, a shoddy secondary and questionable LB’ing depending on if Lee was hurt that week or not.

Point being, until the past few years and kind of this year as well, what you call over turning the roster is akin to shoveling a pile of manure over and over again IMO.

He has the same OC and HC from 2016.

We dont run WR screens anymore. Other than that, our offense hasnt changed too much.

You got the title wrong! It should read, IS DAK PRESCOTT holding back the Dallas Cowboys.

 

[glimmerman]

They simply have to let him play his style. He will grow as a pocket QB eventually. Maybe not what we want but if they keep it his style we will win more games.
