Dak Prescott wasn't the problem against the Houston Texans

[Doomsday]

They need to change the title, because Dak may not be THE problem but he certainly is one of the problems.

The biggest issue on this team is coaching, the offensive line and Dak.

The offense has no creativity, they have no clue how to tweak things to put players in position to win, the oline got absolutely manhandled most of the 4th quarter and overtime.

We already drafted a qb in the 5th round. We’re not goin to draft a QB on first day but we’re goin to draft one higher 5th next year. We’ll probably take one in the 3rd round if Dak don’tget the needle moving.and that’s not about Dak being a bad qb but all across the league when offense seems stagnant and not consistent teams just go with something different. It’s happened with Tyron and Mayfield, Bradford and Rosen, and up in Buffalo. He’ll it happened with Bledsoe and Romo cuz the offense wasn’t terrible with bledsoe but you can see the chance for improvement.

The Cowboys found their back up QB in Dak. There may be some truth in saying he was not the problem, but when he is going to be the answer? The teams with superior QB play are the perennial contenders. The Cowboys will not get consistent, high level performances from Dak.

To run the ball on that 3rd and long in was like a give up play.

 

[Rayman70]

the scheme was fine today, boy wonder got pressure and choke and couldn't see the field like usual. how do you fix fear and tunnel vision. you can't, and you can't make a backup qb a starter. Well we did.

listen...that same "back up" got the team to 13-3 with a playoff win in 2016 as a rookie. You telling me he has regressed that bad? Look at who is supporting cast was that year. A far cry from what it is now. Me thinks Garrett has regressed,if that's even possible. Dak is throwing the ball under very heavy duress and the pass blocking looks like a turnstile,at times. The run blocking scheme isn't working. We need to play to our strengths,which is pulling,traps...etc. sweeps with pulling. Without fred beard,this is what we ought to be doing. Linehan was good tonight.. The lack of leadership and BALLS in crunchtime from Garrett was bad...he got out coached. I am still proud of this DEFENSE. They made this a closer game than it was. That's a high powered offense we held under 20 points, AT HOME. Garrett has to go. It wont fix the team short term,but its a start.

Bobby called it right, ok you say "Dak Sucks" now what? so you are saying that if there was a QB out there worth getting that things will work out for our offense????
NOT-- it doesn't matter who is back there because the coach will run basic crap and not put together schemes that fit your QB and WR's for that matter.

Everyone knows all of our plays and have "for a long, long time"

 

[DCreppinBoysfan]

Also I would like to sucesss comparison on play success when Dak was all that presnap movement in the first quarter versus when he didn’t do it as the game progress. When he was doin his Peyton Romo imitations early in the game we were moving the ball. Maybe we need him to do it all game for success. Romo used to do it all game and that’s when I felt most comfortable with our offense,even though we burned a lot of timeouts prematurely that way, the offense did move.

how many qb have you seen that looks like a high school qb playing on a college team. Watson looked better had zip on his passes and had pocket awareness. but let's get dakhard for our backup.

watch him and compare him to any qb, even the guy today, big difference. Pocket awareness, passing zip and leading his wr. Our turd sandwich has to see the guy open then throws behind or over the guy. Heavy duress. lmao.. Watson had more pressure on him, he didn't get tunnel vision.

because we have been using the same lame playbook for years

 

[unionjack8]

He isn't the solution....

 

[Chuck 54]

If Dak was throwing passes to a true receiver like Hopkins, the stat line would look very different. How many high passes did Watson throw that receivers not only had to stretch for but jump for? How many passes did he throw low to covered receivers that went down and caught them?

Dak has his own warts, no doubt, but to think this offense would look entirely different with another QB is silly. It would look much better with a true threat at TE, a key security outlet for every QB, and it would look like a playoff machine with both a TE and a true playmaker at WR.

 

[Captain-Crash]

naw he wasn't the problem, it was whoever let a backup start for us and not go out and get a legit starting qb.

how many yards did Swaim get today. What's he need now the best hof TE and offensive line, oh why we're at it dig Vince back up too. sheesh. I've seen enough. Maybe he can beat some bad team soon, and we can all get dakhard again. lmao

 

[Cannibal_Cowboy]

You've been explained what kind of personnel and formation this Offense was running, which was explained to not carry much of any talent. Actually no top receiver talent compared to all other top Offenses in the league. Yet you're still wanting for miracles to happen? Get real dude. All of the current top QBs have at least 1 top receiver and/or a TE. Dak has none. At least Romo had Witten every game for 10 straight seasons. Dak has nothing, yet you want him to turn water into wine? Get real. Go back to playing your Madden games.

We get it, your fantasy is to give Dak a sponge bath. That doesn't dispel everyone's opinion, from legit football expert to couch potato, who see with their own eyes how disgustingly inaccurate Dak is throwing the football. Want to know why Garrett has that little "hit the target" game after every practice? Obviously to try to make him a better passer of course, but it's not working. He is what he is. Remember Carr schooling him on hitting targets ? All of this is moot because Jerruh already promised Dak a huge contract after this season, so you're going to get your wish fanboy. Enjoy the next 7-8 years of Dak not being able to hit an open receiver @ 20+ million per year no matter how many highly touted receivers/tight ends they add.

lol right on point!

Watson has several STUDS at WR lmao...who does Dak have my friend? You forgot to mention that part. Coutee is Houstons 3rd wr and he tore us up last night.THAT GUY would be our number 1 wr here in Dallas! He is far and away better than anyone on our roster. Your not being fair to Dak.

 

[Cmac]

He ain't the solution also. Let's blame Tyron....come on down, you're a 2018 Fall Guy Nominee.

 

[Rayman70]

lol right on point!

lol...hey that's funny,but seriously, why the hate? Dak has the equivalent of college freshmen at wr...AND Houston HAS ALL PRO WR'S!!! Plus a decent HC. Watson WILL NOT LAST THIS SEASON...ITS FOOLS GOLD. hIS MOBILITY AND OLINE WILL BE HIS UNDOING. HE TOOK A BEATING FROM HELL LAST NIGHT. His all pro receiver saved his *** at the end.

 

[John813]

He's not elevating his play, but yea, he isn't the sole problem on offense. Nothing to show me though he's worth a huge contract, let alone to be given the #1 spot for 2019.
Receivers are JAGs.
Line got abused.
One thing I can't tell off the broadcast is if his anticipation is off or he just doesn't trust himself(or the receiver) at times which then makes him hold the ball for too long. Which either leads to a hit, sack or a 2 yard dumpoff on 3rd and 8.

 

[Captain-Crash]

if they are getting open, which they are, he needs to have enough courage to throw the ball. He is slow on reads, and seems to not see the field good. I don't think having better receivers will help him see. Just my opinion.

 

[Rayman70]

He ain't the solution also. Let's blame Tyron....come on down, you're a 2018 Fall Guy Nominee.

plenty of blame to go round. Oline was bad, Garrett was terrible in crunch time, and the wr's group was horse ****. They were responsible for both int's.
