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:
Yall groupies gotta stop bringing up Romo everytime Dak Averagescott gets called out. Let that man be avg on his own. Who the hell even talking about 2007 now? Y'all obsessed. Hell at least the Dak bashers are speaking on the current qb.

I am going to bring him up whenever the hell I want.

The way he clapped his hands together before the ball got there tells me he was looking at the defender and not the ball.

My head is spinning.

Yesterday, a Prescott non-critic labeled me a Prescott hater.

Now, a Prescott critic essentially calls me a Prescott lover.

I should lay down some plastic sheeting because BRAINS are gonna splatter everywhere soon enough.

That pass was a lob, should have been thrown on a line. I think the FB wasn't expecting a lob, and he shouldn't have been.

How do I award internet tough guy points so a poster can boost his online reputation?


As for the poll itself..... pass was behind him, his momentum was carrying him the other way..... but it should have been caught.

When throwing to a guy wearing a number in the 40’s (or a lineman reporting as eligible) you have to make it easy on him. They don’t get many reps and are used to catching a right-on-the-money pass in practice. If you are going to ask the receiver to make adjustments to a pass then make sure his number is in the 80’s or teens. Beasley makes that catch; a fullback might not—and didn’t.

This is all I've been saying. I'd see if it was a wr or te but asking for a fb that probably rarely catches the ball im not surprised like you when the guy drops a harder throw. You have to always know your personal aka KYP. I think most of us probably agree just the degree of blame is the biggest thing.

None of the above. Pass should/could have been better, but it was still a must catch ball. Not that difficult. For some reason Dak threw a lollipop that was 2 feet short of where the ball should have been placed, but all Olawale had to do was slow up, catch it, and fall backward. I think he actually stumbles slightly that probably changed his eye level and caused him to whiff.

There was no excuse for not catching that pass. No the pass wasn't perfect, but it didn't need to be. Olawale had absolutely no excuse for dropping that pass.

Or a very catchable pass that countless five-year-olds could make?

I didn't vote because it's silly. The guy dropped what should be an easy catch for an NFL player. Don't you think they ran that play in practice and he made the catch. He closed his hands before the ball even got there so it doesn't really matter. He would have missed it anyway.

The throw was OK and it should have been caught.

Honestly, I wonder just how much football some of you watch. All QB's throw passes similar to that one. You don't hear much about it because most of them are caught.
