I'm willing to give Dak one more chance

[rags747]

He's not good enough to overcome JG. Not even Romo could. His best bet is to finish out his rookie contract and go somewhere with a good offensive coach. Given the right situation, I think he has enough talent to have a long career in the NFL. He needs a coach like Andy Reid or Sean McVay to have success. A coach who can tailor their scheme to the player.

A long career as a backup, nothing to be ashamed of there.

 

[TDnumber33]

Dak will never win a championship- with any team, or any coach.

Take away Zeke and Dak is a 3rd stringer.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

oh he was? And Brady was a 6th round pick for a reason. Romo went undrafted for a reason.

Dak was a 4th because of a DUI...if you must know.

Yep and was graded as a second rounder

I just gave you the reference where he probably says it.

Go watch the game again if you want and stop crying like a baby because I’m in your feelings because you are hurt your boy Dak looks more and more trash every week and I’ve been right all along.

And you looking for any slim of hope Dak becoming good makes you look like an abandoned lover more than anything else..

Here. Get a clue and learn some football. Here is the problem.

One play.. I can point out plenty of plays where Dak has plenty of time and sucked. Like his INT in the end zone, trying to force it to Cooper while blanketed in coverage..

If anything, this link actually absolved Zeke Elliott, because the RUN BLOCKING was garbage if you want to go there.

Like I said, stop crying like a spurned lover. This has nothing to do with your whining I was supposedly making things up with Witten saying what he said. If you want to go find a link, find a link for the game and the quote that I referenced about Witten regarding Dak and progressions and Dez as well.

 

[camaro69]

When are folks going to stop using Linehan and Garrett as a crutch for Dak? They have absolutely nothing to do with Dak’s spazzy tendencies under pressure, general lack of awareness in the pocket, erratic accuracy and spotty decision making.

No coach is going to come in and change Dak. At best, they could mask some of his short comings but then you’re wasting effort to mask your own QBs deficiencies.

No one wants the truth some wants to live in 2016 forever. He a bad QB that all there is to it. What coach wants to inherit this mass. You will not win with Dak Prescott as your QB. A front office that's clueless. A meddling owner. Some cowboys fans act like because we are the Cowboys and Jerry has deep pocket we can have any coach we want. That person is going to have to win to keep his job winning starts with the QB we don't have one.

A spurned lover? That's all you've got because it's clear you do not understand what the problem is or how any QB or RB can function behind such atrocious blocking. Your offense goes according to how your Oline performs. You would know this if you actually played the game and excelled at it. Hard to teach bench warmers or band players on a social forum what to understand .

Go back to playing your flute.

Things I want to see in the off season:

1) Garrett fired and replaced by a coach not currently on the staff.
2) The new Head Coach to have the power to pick all of his assistant coaches without interference from Jerrah and Little Stephen.
3) Our OLine to be fixed. Collins back to LG and Conner Williams competing at RT. Incredible how Booger NcFarland kept talking about Conner Williams being played out of position and I think we all know the same can be said for Collins. May need a new center if Fredericks does not come around. Looney is a good back up but not really who I want starting.
4) Bring in a legitimate #2 RB. Rod Smith is a JAG and a liability in pass protection.
5) Bring in some competition for Dak. I like Dak but we need to give him some competition for that starting job. White and Rush are not the answers. If Dak does not respond under new coach then start looking at the 2020 draft to replace him since we don't have a 2019 1st round pick.
6) We need a TE that can threaten defenses. I am fine with keeping Swaim as a back up. The rest of the TEs on the roster can go look for jobs elsewhere.
7) At WR Gallup and Cooper appear to be our future. Beasley is probably going to hit free agency and I am sure someone will over spend for him. Let the new coach decided which of the other WRs he wants to keep (if any).
8) Resign DLaw and try to find him some help. He seems to be the only one on the DLine that makes consistent plays. The other DEs on the roster have been a disappointment. Say goodbye to Irving. We don't need the headache.
9) Jaylon Smith and LVE to start at LBer. Say goodbye to Lee. It is hard to beat Lee WHEN he is on the field but those times seem few and far between. His salary is too high and he is getting older so i don't expect him to get helathier as toime goes by.
10) Safeties, Safeties, Safeties! We need safeties!
11) I thought we were set at CB with Awuzie and Jones. However, Awuzie has played like crap this year. I was very high on Awuzie going into the season but he has done nothing but disappoint.

Obviously you can't do all of this in 1 year but these are the items that I would be concentrating on. New Head Coach would be number 1 on the list followed by fixing the OLine. QB will probably have to be a 2020 priority based on our lack of a 1st round draft pick in 2019 and also a weak QB class in the 2019 draft. Plus we give the new Head Coach a year to see if he can salvage Dak.

Ok genius.. that’s all I’ve got, despite you refusing to actually discuss what you stated Witten didn’t say I said he did and going on these other tangents.

OK genius, did you even bother to go through the thread you just referenced?

 

[Jake]

I'm just saying. This may be a Dak problem and not a Garrett and Linehan problem, but I'm willing to take the final year of Dak's rookie deal to find out for sure.

I think it's an all-of-them problem (that goes all the way to the top), but given we have little options behind and him and no first round pick there probably isn't anything that can be done for 2019 anyway, at the QB position. At least try a new coaching staff, although again we're talking about Moe & Curly doing the hiring.

I honestly don't see the Cowboys being a serious contender again as long as the Jones family continues to operate the organization as a fantasy football team, rather than hiring someone to run the football operations and overseeing the results. You know, like other owners.

wake up and smell the coffee Dak is not the answer
don't waste more time life is way too short.

That doesn't say anything. A still shot to make your argument? You're desperate.

 

[khiladi]

Yeah, a still shot of wide open WRs doesn’t show anything with Dak staring right at them with nobody around, which he then proceeds to fumble, nor does the INT Dak threw, forcing it to Cooper and the actual reference I gave of Witten that you refuse to bother to even go look at the game, doesn’t.. but a run blocking play that has nothing to do with Dak, but Zeke, supposedly shows something to you...

the oline didn't throw a interception and fumble the ball that turned into 14 points for the titans

 

[Ken]

Kenny is quite literally one of our "special" posters. He's allowed to post because as a forum we believe it's good for his self-confidence and development.

He apparently thinks Dak was some highly regarded QB prospect coming out of college. He wasn't.

Just give him a charity "like" and he'll move along.

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/dak-prescott?id=2555260

3rd round projection on the first profile i looked at.

Never said he was considered a high prospect.

Said he was higher than 4.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

...with a different coaching staff.

Dak looks dreadful, but how many players could play well when the defense literally knows your play calls before you do? When your OC refuses to adapt to anything you do well and forces you to run plays that you don't? When they take out your freaking #1 WR on 1st and 10 to telegraph a run play and leave you in 2nd and long every time? When the guy coaching you every day is the same guy you beat out in practice?

I'm just saying. This may be a Dak problem and not a Garrett and Linehan problem, but I'm willing to take the final year of Dak's rookie deal to find out for sure.

HA HA HA ya man lets waste another year on Dak....omg....these Dak-zoids simply wont give it up still living the dream i guess....well bud here's a secret.....the dream has turned into a DAK-NIGHTMARE!!!!

 

[PAPPYDOG]

So you're saying you don't think Dak is getting good instruction?

Ya its his fault DAK SUCKS!!!!

You guys aren't Cowboy fans your Dak Groupies....jeez....

Here's a 6th round grade for you:

https://draftwire.usatoday.com/2015...w-about-2016-nfl-draft-prospect-dak-prescott/

Here's a nice write-up from PFF before the draft that brings up a lot of things we're all familiar with at this point:
https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/draft-buyer-beware-when-drafting-these-3-quarterback-prospects

The third-round talk surrounding Dak Prescott shows no signs of abating. Prescott’s skill-set, however, makes him a more realistic Day 3 target. He needs to improve his location, in particular, struggling to beat tight coverage at every level of the defense. Prescott can hit open receivers, but fails to show the kind of precision to complete tough throws into coverage. The game-manager label might suit Prescott, because he fails to stand out in any area. While he is a solid enough signal-caller, he doesn’t flash outstanding potential. Although the numbers appear promising, Prescott is far from the most effective quarterback under pressure. He recorded a -7.0 grade when disrupted in the pocket in 2015 (0.0 is considered average), despite throwing five touchdowns to just one pick.

It may have seemed as if Prescott improved at protecting the ball in his senior season—he had just five picks in his final year at Mississippi State—but he benefitted from 11 drops from defenders to maintain respectable numbers. Along with the other quarterbacks in this piece, Prescott’s decision-making isn’t always consistent. His tapes against Ole Miss and Alabama are ugly. When games started to drift away from Prescott, he was rarely capable of changing the momentum back in his teams’ favor. After an underwhelming Senior Bowl, Prescott should only be considered towards the end of the draft.

 

[Redball Express]

I am still shocked he has regressed this much from his rookie season. Granted the Oline has been not great, he looks scared and UNCOACHED. The coaches are paid to make players better. I am just not seeing it on any level on the Offensive side of the ball. If I owned the team..I'd make drastic changes but it most likely won't happen until the season is over. Dak would get one half season to show he had it with a different coaching staff..then I'd insert someone else if he looked the same. Simple as that...

We need to have the guts to bench DAK and play White and our other QB.

It can't be worst.

 

[CapnCook]

I want a QB that can throw the ball. I'm just tired of the QB "scramblers" running the ball to get down the field. I've seen enough of that **** with Romo and Dak. Just f***ing tired of it. No More "scramblers." (As I defined it).

A cool thing about a forum, is you have time to think of more creative adjectives and adverbs.
