Nope. Will still follow the Cowboys.

Good, I was a Henson fan, I don't always make the right choices.

Dak Prescott wasn't the problem against the Houston Texans

• By Sam Quinn
• 2h ago • 2 min read

Some day, historians are going to look at the Week 5 loss that the Dallas Cowboys sustained against the Houston Texans and think that Dak Prescott played a bad game. The evidence is there. The Cowboys scored only 16 points. Prescott threw two interceptions and gained only 208 yards through the air. His quarterback rating was 66.4. Based on his poor play in the four weeks prior, it wouldn't be a stretch to just tack one extra bad game onto his ledger. And that is a shame, because for once, Prescott was not remotely the problem against the Texans.

Those two interceptions Prescott threw? Both tipped... by his own receivers. Granted, they weren't perfect throws, but most throws aren't. It is reasonable for a quarterback to expect his receivers to be able to, you know, stretch. Prescott didn't throw those balls 10 yards over their heads. He missed slightly. But when you miss at all with this group of Cowboys receivers, you miss entirely.

Speaking of missing, Prescott made the Texans do quite a bit of that. He was pressured relentlessly in this game, but he was sacked only twice. He escaped perhaps half a dozen sacks based on nothing more than body control and athleticism.

Garrett doesnt know what situational game planning is and over thinks everything. He has one of the best RBs in the league and doesnt even know how to use him. Garrett is going to ruin Zeke by wearing him out running him into a brick wall.

The scary part about Zeke... He is already beaten up, and actually so is the O line. To me, the problem is that the whole team is built on the strength of the OL & Zeke. This area is so overstressed that it has taken a toll on them already. And we only have ONE other RB on the roster, Rod Smith, should Zeke go down. That is frightening to me. On the other hand, there are 10 WRs, none of which are the focal point of the passing game. This was a terrible front office/coaching personnel decision. I cannot fault the players. They are stuck in diasastrous situation which the heads have put them in.
At this point, if I were a player, I would do my best acting imitation by performing my job, and then losing games to get rid of Carrot, Linehan & newspaper route boy Kellen Moore. They are completely incompetent.

I am completely behind Dak Prescott. All I ask is that he is given a fair shot and chance just like Goff. Put the weapons around him that he needs, and a great innovative O mind to create plays for the O. I believe this same set of players on O would be a top O if that were to happen. If he struggles then, it would be a fair assessment to question him. Any young QB needs to supported well to make the O successful.
Look at the job Pederson did against the Giants to help the Eagles O start to get their mojo back.
I would love to see what Pederson or McVay would do with this team to bring them back where they need to be. Or Andy Reid for that matter. The Chiefs are on fire. Great Coaches!!

He's not accurate. No matter what happens, the weapons, the scheme, the studying, if you are not accurate at throwing the football you don't last in the NFL.

He’s not accurate at EVERY level. However he did make some incredible dime throws down the sideline vs Detroit in tight coverage.

I honestly think it’s the anticipation and knowing when to throw more than the accuracy. He said that was the problem with the Austin INT.

 

[Parcells4Life]

On the 1st Houston interception.....why wouldn't Dak throw toward the outside, instead of the inside where the corner was? Accuracy questioned, again. I don't think Dak can hit 'em in the facemask.

He said it was anticipation. He didn’t expect Tavon to be where he was

The problem with counting on this oline and Zeke is they have to play lights out the whole game for this team to have a chance, they cant catch their breath. You take team like the Patriots, Vikings, Falcons, Rams, Eagles, Panthers, Saints. All those teams have the ability to beat you with the pass or the run. It takes pressure off of other players when you can pass the weight around. I just dont see Dak being able to carry some of the weight. He has all the things you want in a franchise QB except for the arm. Unfortunately that will be his downfall. It will be interesting to see where this coaching ends up. I think its going to be pretty difficult to find a good head coach that would want to come to Dallas because of Jerry and his undermining.

 

[charleshaleyfan94]

I still would like to see how this O would thrive under an innovate aggressive O minded Coach, who knows how to devise schemes and plays and utilize the whole O to be their best. They would still need to add playmakers at TE & WR, regardless. A definite #1 WR playmaker, #2, & really good slot WRs after that. Also, the security blanket monster TE who can steamroller over people. They don't have that.
Montana, Brees, Maholmes, Goff: they have had killer weapons around them.
They know exactly where they are going and who they are going to.

Head Coach & QB are the #1 position relationship in the NFL that determines success or failure.

McVay/Goff, Pederson/Wence, Belichek/Brady, Reid/Maholmes, Peyton/Brees....

All of the above constantly work directly with their QB to see what plays/schemes work best, and the HCs DEVISE plays, and build the best players around them to be the best in the NFL.

It makes no difference to me if we did draft another QB to start for the Cowboys. Our present HC would make sure to shackle/suffocate whoever it is.

It is the same FAILED scheme but with different faces in it.

If Dak cant make us better we need help

on the other hand, there is another group that say, we don't run enough.....so which is it? do we run enough or not?

The problem with the Dallas Cowboys offense is there is no passing game. And they have a hard time running now because teams know they arent capable of beating them through the air. Dak is only capable of being consistent and accurate between the numbers and 10 yds down field. He takes a 5 step drop and he had to throw the ball 15 yds and that it. Defenses are crowding that box and theres no where to throw and if Dallas runs the defense just swarms to the ball and its tough sledding. Or defenses just play man to man and Dak is scared to throw the ball when his WR has only a step on his man.
If you watched the Steelers play Tampa a couple weeks ago and the Eagles play the Giants the other night. Early in the game Carson and Ben were under seige and had trouble moving the ball but eventually they had to make some harder tough throw to loosen up the defense and then they could play the offense they wanted. Dak cant seem to loosen up defenses.

So you picked out 2-3 passes out of 200? He’s not accurate and the excuses are pointless. Either you can play qb or you can’t. Either your accurate or your not.

 

[Michael88Irvin]

It's not only that they are poor receiver it's that they are not playmakers.

This offense needs a couple more playmakers on offense.

Bring back T.O., er, wait a minute, Bring back Dez! uh, hold on... ok, there's gotta be someone out there that can make plays.
Actually Dez would be a good solution at the right price.

Both Peterson and McVay would dump Dak in a heartbeat and bring in a real QB. That’s why they are genius.
