Dak will not win a championship in today's NFL

[Roadtrip635]

I guess when it pertains to Dak ya its right in his hands....now if the ball is LOWER and with Coopers motion this is one BIG PLAY.....how expectations have dropped here.....

You lowered the expectations of what a WR should be able to catch, especially one that we traded a 1st rd pick for and is due $14 million next year. But that's OK with you........

 

[Yobwocs]

Cooper should have caught it, but considering it was maybe a 10 yard pass at most it wasn't very well thrown and had it been, Pappy is correct in saying it would have been a big play

Nobody is denying it would've been a big play.

However, I do think the fact that the pass was only 10 yards made it harder for Cooper to adjust to it. It must've been laser fast looking at it on the field. After looking at it again, I change my mind. It was not that good a pass. But it was catchable, only half an inch behind him, and Cooper at the very least could've got a first down if nothing more.

Not every play is going to be 100% perfect, but plays that are not THAT hard to make, we have to make them.... especially in the playoff.

would dan marino win with this offense? or was he just a life time loser with stats

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

This was the only 3rd down conversion of the night. This is what I took to get a 1st down. Not many QBs can make this play

I was at

I was at the game. All we needed to do is THROW to set up the run. Creative offenses can prioritize both when needed. We kept insisting on running up the middle into the Rams strength.

For the Clemson playoff game vs OU, I watched on ESPN 3, and they offered a feed with a camera angle from behind the QB. I watched the NFL video of every play on YT, but, what I would like to see is every play from the Cowboys, from the perspective of behind the QB, so I can evaluate what targets Dak did and did not have on each play, and judge for myself, if the guy just doesn't have the vision, when he's in the pocket, or out of the pocket.

Is there a link to watch the game with a view from behind the QB? Do the Cowboys have this video, and it's just not made available to fans?? I think it should be. It's made available for College playoff games. Does the NFL get to "opt out" of this being made available for the public? ?

 

[StylisticS]

oh the sensitivity, unless you say brokedak is the best qb in the league you're a hater. sheesh...

that's why it is nauseating to critique Dak. you can't say anything about Dak without that label being used. I am beginning to hate the word "hater".

Marino would not have won with this O-line!!!

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Marino would not have won with this O-line!!!

Omg.....Marino would have GUTTED out Wade's 8 man box to shreds!!!!!
Cooper alone would have had close to 200 yards in receiving.....
Imagine our offense with a Marino talented QB who the heck could stop us...heck we wouldn't need a Defense!!!!

UHH... NO

Marino was not as mobile as Dak. He would've been chewing mud for 60 minutes

You must be under aged as you don't remember Marino's release on the ball which was Flash fast.....

Glad people are starting to realize it, he's just a bad QB.

Dak is surrounded by incompetent Coaching. Goff has McVay, Brady has Belichek, Brees has Peyton & Mahomes has Reid. The last 4 standing in the NFL are also the best. How quickly everyone forgets that this genius front office & HC agreed that we did not NEED a #1 playmaking WR the first half of this season.

 

[khiladi]

Stay on topic as I am answering YOUR assertion. The hell are you going on and on about defensive schemes when YOU stated that Dak has never had the defense back?

Stay on topic.

So the answer is Dak Prescott then.

Now, praytell, how many points did our defense give up in the 4th quarters in those games? You know, the defense that YOU claim Dak never helps out.

The Rams were held below their seasonal average.

The Rams held us to less than their seasonal average and that was with a garbage TD in prevent.

It’s not hard to grasp... We underperformed on the offensive side per the Rabs scoring offense and defense.

Oh yeah and the Rams were 25th in the league in passing TDS given up.

None of what you say changed the fact that Dak floundered around against a mediocre secondary while the Cowboys were going heavy pass. And this team had the fortune of Aqil Talib going out for a brief stretch during concussion protocol.

 

[khiladi]

I also think the Chiefs are way better this year than they are last year. Mahomes makes a huge difference, no doubt about it. He has a quicker release, and he can hurt you throwing in any way with any type of feeting. That makes him better than Alex Smith.

But I'm just saying... Alex Smith had the #1 best QB rating last year. Dak is guaranteed to look much better playing for Andy Reid. But.. he doesn't, he plays for Linehan and Garrett. I'm not saying Dak will put up Mahomes numbers, just saying he'll look much better than he did this year. Wouldn't surprise me if he has the #1 best QB rating playing for Reid.

QBR is mathematical formula that is an interpretation on QB play. It doesn’t in any way show what the QB leaves off the floor, which again, is Dak’s biggest weakness. Dak can’t anticipate and when he pulls back on a throw and dumps it off five yards and gets a completion, his QBR goes up.

That’s called being a game manager and it works when your defense is outstanding and you have a strong running game.

The Chiefs ended up 5-0 and then went on a 1-6 losing streak and won the last four against really bad teams and ended up losing the first round to a mediocre Titans team because they only put up 21 points. And the last four games the Chiefs basically won because their defense generated 12 TOs in the final four games and they still generated 2 against the Titans, all the whole Alex Smith protected the ball. It was a 14-3 TO ratio favoring the Chiefs.

Now even when the Chiefs let up TDS in bunches and Mahomes comes right back down the field and scores TDS no matter who the defense is.

Dak and the coaching staff had their fair share of players on the other team going out with injury and failed to go after said replaced players.

It's like they dont even discuss this, or even notice it. They treat every defender equally regardless.

 

[PelvusBrestley]

Sorry, but after the display of ineptitude the Cowboys defense put on national television last night, how can this be about Dak?

I know he missed a couple throws, but Dak is who he is. After three years we should all have picked up on it.

Last night I saw Dak Prescott as the only reason, and I mean the only reason, the Cowboys were even alive at any point in the game.

Sometimes a Defense picks up and Offense and sometimes the Offense needs to pick up the Defense. Our offense did nothing to help out our Defense. Too many 3 and 4 and outs and missing open runs and throws. The defense held us in the game for 3 quarters while our Offense did nothing to help them. Stats show the Defense failed, but watching the game and using our own eyes and intellect tell a different story. Our Offense didn't help the Defense, it's that simple.

The Rams didn't do anything special. They sold out to stop the run and our QB can't hit open receivers when he has to. There were guys open all over the field because of the Rams sellout against the run. The game just moves to fast for Dak, all his inadequacies stem from that.

EVERY NFL QB can make that play, not every NFL QB can make that play consistently, thus the 1-10 on third down. That’s a 10% completion rate.

Dak actually throws horrible sideline routes from the pocket on a regular basis and throws them decent when he’s on the run and rolling out.

In fact, that was a more than adequate play design because you got two TEs, both isolated on LBs with Brown in what appears to be a little inside the hashes with nobody overtop. Jarwin is clearly the first option and even though he has a step on his man, he’s covered with the deep safety right there. The LB did what he was supposed to, which is roll Brown to the outside and keep him behind the chains. This is only a half the field read for Dak.

You guys arguing based upon a throw here and there is comically absurd.

Your last sentence sums up Dak perfectly. All his inadequacies stem from the fact the game moves to fast for him.

It's funny because the talking heads would complain about Dak only throwing a couple bigtime passes a game.

The passes Dak throws like that in the first 8 games, other QB's in the league would knock that same amount of passes out in a single game before halftime.

And most of his ‘big time’ throws are on the move and when he’s decisive. They hardly ever come when he has to go through his progressions and reads. For every one ‘great’ pass of Dak, you can point to around five where DBs dropped sure INTs, including pick 6s and throws at the feet. Remember the Jarwin one a couple weeks back, I think it was way behind him, when he was wide open.

 

[Mr_Strol]

I guess everybody forgets the walk in pick 6 the rams dropped, or the tailor made pick 6 that Amari caught to beat the eagles. Beyond lucky on those plays. Season changing plays.

Is Dallas supposed to rely on that luck?
