That "embarrassment" includes the quarterback. It's time to stop placing the blame on everyone except him. In doing that, nobody is saying these receivers and tight ends are great. It's not either/or here, it's both. But the quarterback is every bit of the problem this team is having offensively.
Look no further than his drops. Prescott has no timing whatsoever. No confidence, no anticipation, no trust. The ball never comes out on time, and it never goes where it should when it should. If anything, I give the receivers credit for not coming out in a full-scale mutiny after running routes all night and the ball getting there late, off-target, or not at all.
There's a reason why every receiver's numbers get monumentally worse playing with this quarterback. And blaming it all on each and every one of them is being ignorant of the huge constant in the equation.
Oh I don't agree that Dak is a part of the problem. He doesn't look like he can play in this league. He looks like a guy who's good in doses like backup qb's are.
But let's understand what Dak is. He's a 4th round pick who lit the league on fire his first year. He struggled half of last season and is struggling this year.
You know his limitations. I know his limitations. We know what he's good at and what he's bad at.
So this organization decides to make his receiving core WORSE and he doesn't even get into a preseason game with the guys. So in what we all kind of consider a make or break year they don't give him better options....they give him WORSE right after Witten retires and they let go of Dez.
This approach is MORONIC. There is no way around it.
He came into this league with Carson Went and Jared Goff who have superior weapons and keep getting better weapons.
There was never a plan here with Dak. There was never a plan here to make Dak better. The plan was we are going to ride Zeke out and Dak will just get better because that's what players do. Get better. But they didn't get a QB friendly OC in here. They didn't get a QB coach with skills on the wall.
So while I agree Dak is a part of the problem.....he was set up to fail. And that's on Stephen and Jerry. Garrett too for being stupid enough to let it go down in a make or break year for himself. Unless Garrett wants to get fired which he very well may want to. Maybe that's everyones plan......to suck bad enough to get out of here and go to greener pastures.
