LOL I like how the top 3 options are placing blame on Dak. Are you serious?

Every NFL player should be expected to catch that ball. Defensive linemen catch TD passes on the goalline all the time.

It shouldn’t surprise me. In the game thread, Dak was being blamed for the INT that bounced off the open TE’s hands. Ridiculous.

Haha, its too damn cold up here! And I can't throw passes that far behind receivers!
Lol I'll just believe you and your kid can catch it then. You're the only one everybody else has to show the footage. So I take your criticism at face value because of the cold you lucky man you.

I jumped for joy then crumbled like a cookie all in a 10 sec. sequence, that play sticks out soooo much because it was so easy yet sooo critical. Jarwin was running open in the back of the end zone but #49 was the right target, it looks like he literally had a brain fart, while I've recently jumped off the increasingly empty Dak bandwagon that play was NOT AT ALL his fault.

There is where we separate the Dak critics from the Dak haters. If you say, Dak had a rough day and has to improve, but that drop was on Olawale, then I would consider you a rational Dak critic.

If you see that and think that was Dak's fault, you are a Dak hater and probably highly irrational.
I'll bite and say your forced choice comparison test could have been better worded, and that I could do better at wondering if you are kidding us with that pretzel logic!

It’s a poor throw and it’s a ball that should be caught. IMO with a guy like Olawale you are asking for a drop if you don’t put it right on the money. Doesn’t excuse the drop, but clearly you aren’t throwing to Cooper or Beasley, or even a Zeke. In other words, I’m not surprised that Olewale dropped it but I am surprised that Dak couldn’t deliver a ball that Olewale would run right under (and not have to slow down and adjust to). It happens, there’s a reason that was open and it’s because guys like O aren’t seen as threats.

Interesting posit, however.

Olawale's momentum was going into the end zone and the pass was thrown short like he was expecting him to stop at the goal line and turn in. Jarwin was standing alone inside the end zone, and Jarwin had the backline of the end zone to himself. There were three lay up options on the play.

Why this even has to be a poll question is beyond me. 5 year old kids would have made that catch. Trying to bring Dak into the reason why the play failed is just an attempt to be hyper critical. But, I understand some people’s desire to do that and I am fine with it, I just ask for consistency. If that pass was on Prescott in any way, shape, or form, then the QB is also at fault for passes like Crayton dropped in the 2007 playoff game because the ball was just a tad too low and a tad to far out in front of him instead of in the bread basket. I would like to get Crayton off the hook for this pass, so I am interested in the poll results for my future debate tactics. :laugh:

Prescott could have thrown a better pass & Olawale dropped a difficult but makeable TD catch.

that could be a 50/50 shared mistake. That gets my vote

The dude closes his hands before the ball gets there.. I don't understand the great debate. Strahan said he needs to get his vision checked, that should be confirmation enough for you so called football watchers. The first three options blame Dak that's ridiculous. Did you see Olawale's face? Didn't he look like he knew that he should have caught that ball?

Dak cannot make a simple throw. 99% of his passes the receivers have to make adjustments and usually a big adjustment. He just isn’t a NFL QB or at least shouldn’t be in Dallas. Let him play on one of those low Level nfl teams.
