I have been a proponent of a wait-and-see approach with Prescott because he's only in his third year as a starter. I felt we'd have a better pulse on who he is as a starting quarterback by the end of this season.
I also believed that like with most quarterbacks he gets blamed when there's poor protection, receivers run bad routes or drop balls, the play-calls are bad, etc. Then, there are his 2016 performance and games like Detroit where he makes some picture-perfect passes.
The Texans' game convinced me, though, that Dak is only that type of quarterback who gives you those glimpses that make you believe he can be better than he is. We can look at dropped passes, protection breakdowns, poor play-calling and say that Dak would look like that 2016 QB if those things were fixed, but truthfully in the Houston game, he had too many passes where the receiver was open and the protection was good enough and he couldn't connect. There's just too much hit and miss in his game, and I think if we focus on the hit and ignore the miss, we're going to end up sticking with a starter who isn't good enough unless everything around him is pretty much perfect.
I'm ready at this point to see what Mike White can show before it's necessary for us to draft a quarterback in the first round next year. Yes, I skipped Cooper Rush, but that's because I think Rush's ceiling is being a good backup, but he doesn't have the zip to be a starter.
I know some will believe I'm overreacting to a bad performance, but there's been too much InDakuracy last year and this year. It's no longer about who Dak might can become, it's about who he is.
