Please forgive me. Seems I dozed off for awhile.
No worries. Fishing is tiring.

The way linehan was let go after Garrett saying otherwise would suggest something else.
While the easy thing to do is blame Linehan for all the wrong doings, I think in fairness he had to run a simplified passing scheme because it's easier for a less accurate QB to throw to spots. We weren't running that same scheme Romo and Linehan.
I think where it's fair to criticize Linehan is not utilizing Dak's strengths as the article highlights.
Did you copy and paste anti-Dak talking points from Shannon Sharpe? Sure sounds like it. Everything you said pretty much is untrue. It must suck for you to follow this team knowing full well Dak is the franchise QB and here to stay for many years. How will you cope with that?
Only that Garrett was trying to let Linehan find another job at Senior Bowl week, which is a pretty normal thing to do.
$100 bucks says you're wrong. I give it a 5 year window, Dak will lead the Cowboys to at least 1 SB.

Took a 65 pound Chinook on a 10 wt. Fly rod this year. Took an hour to land it. Wore my butt out. I was using scientific anglers fly line.No worries. Fishing is tiring.
Must be hard to defend a guy that everyone thinks is terrible. LOL
Whats that like? Being all alone? Is it lonely?
Loneliness expresses the pain of being alone and Solitude expresses the glory of being alone.............paul tillich. Sometimes being alone is a good thing.Being all alone is lonely by definition, yes. Great question.
I console myself by knowing I’m not a reactionary know-nothing barking at shadows because I don’t know what else to do instead, and that helps.
LOL...... of course. Its always Daks fault. Garrett and linehan have sucked for how long?
The play action has been missing for ever, even in romo days. The Deep ball has been missing forever even in Romo years. The boring, predictable, conservative play calling nonsense has been going on well before Dak ever got here.
The redzone woes, the inefficiency in the offense all been going on for years.
Thats basically troll logic. Where in some way in some form, whatever anyone says bad about the Cowboys, trolls like you find some way to blame it on Dak. LOL
60 sacks become Daks fault. Suddenly sacks allowed are a new stat. Its now 60 sacks taken by Dak. When in 2016 there were 28 sacks and 2017 there were 32 sacks. And Dak was the QB those years as well.
And in 2016 and 2017 it was simply because the line was sooo good. Nothing to do with Dak. But all of a sudden in 2018 its nothing to do with the line, now its just Dak.

I literally got angry when I read “outstanding offensive coach” while I pictured his stupid face saying that. And that’s exactly what he would say.All I'm saying is there is a reason no other team has scooped up Linehan yet for his services.
Total Garrett hire based on nothing but the year they spent together in Miami. Only Jason Calvin Garrett can grab a career NFL underachiever and sell him to the Jones family as an "outstanding offensive coordinator."

The first subtitle is where the info is.
Yes this is some of the stuff we already know but it’s May and interesting to get some numbers and data behind it. Gives us an idea of how Linehan has held Dak back.
“Far too many of the Cowboys' passing-down snaps last year involved them spreading the field with three receivers and a tight end, all of whom ran identical comeback routes to the sticks. It was predictable and incredibly easy for defenses to cover. Linehan's lack of creativity most often manifested itself in Prescott having to throw into tight coverage far too often. Last year, 17.7 percent of his passes were thrown into tight coverage, per NFL.com's NextGen Stats, a figure that ranked 29th out of 38 qualified quarterbacks. Prescott also threw short of the sticks by an average of 1.5 yards per pass, which ranked 28th out of the same group of 38 players.
The Cowboys also had Prescott throw just 11 passes on RPO (run-pass option) plays last season, per Sports Info Solutions, a figure that is frankly embarrassing given Prescott's obvious strength with RPO schemes. He averaged 9.5 yards per pass on those throws, which allow him to combine his skill at play-fakes, quickly reading defenses, and using his legs and athleticism to make plays on the perimeter if necessary. The Cowboys don't need to do this on every snap, but a considerable increase is certainly called for.
Prescott should also just be throwing after a play-action fake more often in general. Given the strength of the Cowboys' run game and opposing defenses' obvious inclination to stop Ezekiel Elliott, it should not be surprising that Prescott has been a far more efficient passer on play-action plays (where he is one of the best in the league) than on straight drop backs (where he is merely average) throughout his three-year career. Consider the following figures, per Pro Football Focus.
Prescott PA No PA
Comp 238 737
Att 349 1,178
Comp % 68.2% 62.6%
Yds 3,090 7,786
YPA 8.85 6.61
TD 19 48
INT 2 23
Rtg 111.6 87.2
% Passes 22.9% 77.1%
Again, the Cowboys don't need to be calling a play-action pass on every drop back, but 23 percent is far too low. They should be among the league leaders in play-action rate, up near teams like the Rams, who like the Cowboys base their entire offense around the versatile contributions of a star running back.”
More nuggets past this point like using more pre-snap motion (only used 36% of the time, tied for 24th in the league), but I’m not going to copy and past the whole article haha
What does that tell you???? Linehan didn't trust Prescott's accuracy....and I don't blame him. How many times have we seen Dak miss wide open people?
Now your asking Dak to hit timing patterns down the field???? Good luck with that.

was it linehans plays or garretts? linehan called the plays, but when your working with garbage it makes it hard to be good.Fans have been saying these exact same things for more than a year well into Daks second season and its embarrassing jerry didnt dump Linehan far sooner.
