Dak is improving

[xwalker]

Yes, I know his fumble was unforgivable. He also whiffed on the two wide open wrs for td on a single play.

But you can see the confidence growing in his throwing, he's starting to look down field for those chunk plays. I say we stick it out with him this season. I think he's in the middle of finding his stride right now. That being said, if he regresses or doesn't continue on this path depending on our options in FA/ draft, put the writing on the wall.

He might have been over the line of scrimmage when he didn't throw to the open targets that Romo pointed out. I think Dak was uncertain if he was over the line.

If he thought he was over the line, then he made the right decision to run.

Dak continues to be a checkdown King and avoids throwing in the intermediate to deep middle of the field. And this is going back to even 2016, his best year.

Amari Cooper will catch 2 yard passes from an improved Dak .

 

[HonoluluCowboy]

Amari is lip gloss on a pig

Now that we got a #1. Dakhards already proving cover .

LOL you think we should stick it out with him this season huh? Well that's good, because they're gonna stick with him for several more years. That's big of you though.

Cooper isn't much of a threat if you watch the Raiders. Not the Alpha Dog some might think

I thought you'd be happy this week. Last week he won 40-7 but you complained about it because he threw for less than 200 yards. This week he threw for almost 300 yards and you're still complaining. There's no pleasing you!

And still scrubbed in the third quarter just like I said he does.. He went scoreless again and had 4 yards passing and broke two hundred because the Redskibs went soft zone and prevent basically the whole fourth quarter.

Congrats he finally achieved a monumental passing game of over 200 yards..

 

[khiladi]

I wish people would stop this. A rusher came screaming untouched and Dak tried to avoid it. Had he watched Gallup, Dak would have got lit up and fumbled anyways.

We all can see the play.. you are delusional

A guy came untouched after Dak held onto the ball while watching Gallup in single coverage with absolutely no help over the top and inside leverage
for close to at least three seconds and a home finally opened up wide enough for a defensive player to come through like five seconds later..

 

[khiladi]

The problem with that tweet is that he didn't actually watch the video he is posting. At the point Gallup breaks open Dak has the Defender one foot from him who came running at a dead sprint on a delayed blitz. He wouldn't have even been able to get his arm back for the pass before he would have been sacked for a safety.

Wrong, we watched it and your delusional like the rest of the Dak homers.

What you call a delayed blitz is actually the defender who gets stood up as he should by the TE in a TEXTBOOK manner, trying to blitz from the end and then coming all the way over because he sees a hole open up while Dak is staring at Gallup in single coverage with clear inside leverage and no safety help over the top refusing to actually throw it..

It’s laughable the lengths you Dak defenders go to.. Dak had all the time in the world.. just stop with this nonsense...

 

[Vtwin]

He had time to get that ball out. He knew the route. He locked in on the rusher and gave up on the play. Never set up to give himself a chance at a good throw. Hopped around like he was barefoot on a bed of hot coals.

Wasn't even a classic strip sack. He saw the guy all the way and didn't protect the ball. A classic strip sack is when the QB gets blind sided and has the ball stripped away from him.

I appreciate your optimism OP but there isn't a defense in the league that this guy scares.

 

[Mr Cowboy]

And after they came back from commercial break, what do they show?

The great Aikman doing exactly the same thing as Dak did. A sack fumble in the end zone against the Commanders. It happens to the best of them!

 

[khiladi]

If any stats person on the Internet can see this I'm sure nfl teams can. I think he is either too scarred or not confident in his arm to throw passes in the middle of the field if the receiver isn't wide open. I think that's why he keeps "missing" that play people keep showing where two receivers are open in the middle of the field.

There was an article that analyzed his throws in 29-6 and he wasn’t even throwing them during that campaign.

https://cowboyswire.usatoday.com/20...dak-prescott-must-master-middle-of-the-field/

1. This article first of all mentions that Dallas had to simplify the routes of Dez for Dak in 2016, despite Des clearly showing he mastered those routes with Tony Romo. The above tweet from Sturm mentions how much they simplified the routes for Dez for Dak and his progressions.

2. His lack of not throwing over the middle and pulling back, which we saw on display in the Commanders game plenty was already being noted despite his success in 2016. Also, the fact he would throw late and not anticipate allowing DBs to recover was another trait being mentioned when the windows were smaller.

After the cuts, Beasley and Witten are well covered by their defenders. Bryant hasn’t separated much from Janoris Jenkins but he’s got a step and plenty of space in front of him. If Prescott puts the ball out in front of Bryant, Jenkins might be able to disrupt the play but it’s unlikely to cause a turnover.

However, instead of being ready to throw, the rookie quarterback actually pulls the ball back down. He clearly senses the linebacker getting back up but the defender shouldn’t be able to affect the play. At this point Prescott should have made his decision and be in the process of throwing the ball or thrown it already.

Prescott panics a little, instead of standing in the pocket, he moves to his left and throws to Bryant over the middle. Unfortunately, by waiting to throw, Prescott has given Jenkins time to catch up. To be safe, the rookie puts the ball out well in front of Bryant and unfortunately out of reach.

This is why I stayed away from this place for a week haha

If we get posts like this after a loss that was largely on Prescott's shoulders, I can only imagine how it is after a win. Unreal. It just won't stop and I can't wait until this dude is allowed to walk after his rookie deal is done so we can end this crap.

 

[Doomsday]

Apparently you missed all the times he pulled back and ran against prevent and soft zones when he had dudes running down the seams wide open or down the sidelines

Even on the TV broadcast you could see Beasley wide open past the defense twice and Gallup once in the 4th quarter alone.

Add in the replay Romo commented on and you just can't help but wonder what the heck else he is missing out there.

In my opinion he gives up on deep routes too soon, not giving them time to develop and just flat out ignores the deep middle of the field.

 

[khiladi]

The major issue with Dak is whether he gets protection and how he reacts to pressure. He is very good when he has time, OK or poor when he doesn't, depending on the game. I posted the same thing after the game, Dak seemed to improve a bit on his major weakness of passing under pressure in this game.

Also the fumble in the end zone was forgivable, its a classic strip sack and Romo said so from the booth. Every QB loses that ball, Eli Manning has done it from day one .

Anybody that says a QB is very good when they have time as a justification for his play is just just desperate. Any average QB in the league can look good if they have time, according to the standards of what Dak homers call having time..

What you call not enough time for Dak is a LB getting stood up by the TE in a textbook manner on a rush, forcing him to totally change his pursuit path, having to proceed to run all the way to other side across every single linemen and get through a hole while Dak is staring at his first read the whole time in single coverage with no help over the top with clear inside leverage..

 

[Doomsday]

If that is a good QB the ball would of been thrown the moment Gallup turned up the field, the DB is clearly flat footed and has no shot there.

But apparently Dak had no time because of the LB who comes like four seconds later after getting stood up by the TE having to change his pursuit, has to come all the way from the other side per these Dak homers..

It’s amazing how much delusion they put themselves in willingly. It’s like they must work for the Dallas organization..

Aikman didn’t have three wide open options from the very start either.. stop insulting Aikman for this scrub..

Titally agree. I've noticed that person is not very bright.

As for the play itself, that is one of the stupidest and most dangerous plays to call when your Offense is strung up against your opponent's goal line AND on a 3rd & 14 down. ABSOLUTELY MORONIC. Linehan needs to go. He continues to set up Dak to fail. When are the Jones family going to wisen up?

 

[America's Cowboy]

Aikman sucked his first 3 years like he sucked his last 4 years for the exact same reasons Dak is struggling right now. LACK OF TALENT AND WEAPONS AROUND HIM.

Wisen up, Einstein.
