I don't see an issue with the drops. It's hard to tell but from the throws that Dak has made that turn into interceptions they appear to be behind. Yes, Amari had his hands on it but a bunch of his throws are behind the receivers. His bad throws are almost always behind not overthrown or low...Dak has an issue IMHO.

Best pass I've ever seen Prescott make was in the Miami game to Cooper down the middle. Drop

Yes. He has an issue with drops.

He is also an incredibly dynamic receiver who gets open constantly and is incredibly dangerous with the ball in his hands.

So you take the good with the bad I guess. What’s the alternative?
That's my position on this also. I'm not hating on the guy I'm just saying

How is it not an issue? He's done it his whole career.

Many of the top receivers also drop passes
They get targeted more, they are trying to create a big play
I hate drops but where you have those drops is an issue
You can’t drop the ball on an out route and it’s usually not a problem but if you tip it up over the middle it can very likely be an int

That drop/pick means nothing if our defense doesn't wait until the 4th to show up. Even then they couldn't stop the run. I'm not even worried about our offense, it's the D that needs to get it together. The one thing both the Saints and the Eagles did last week in their win is stuff the run. Exactly what the Chiefs didn't do last night. You have an advantage when your opponent faces a 2nd and 11 all game instead of a 2nd and 3-5. Or when they keep ripping off 12 yard runs. The Cowboys have absolutely no penetration into the backfield. Even the Dolphins were running well against the Cowboys until they fumbled and eventually had to pass.

People keep focusing on offense. More than half the league would like our problems on offense LOL.

Dak is either late making his reads or late making the throw. I also think Dak and the offense are going Romo offense circa before 2014.

I'm not so worried about the drop as the turnover.

Prescott had 2 or 3 passes I noticed that were behind the WR. Might have been pressure or on the WR, but behind nonetheless.

The were getting penetration just away from the run, it looked a lot like what the Rams did in the playoffs, basically allowed the DL to go where they wanted and then ran to where they vacated.
