I love Dak Prescott. There are better QBs in the NFL, but I wouldn’t trade him for any of them. Irrational, but that’s me.
Most of the recent Dak posts are ridiculous. Many stupidly say this is what they always knew he was. Many others want to blame any and everything for his recent struggles. Anyone who knows squat about football and listens to those who do knows Dak has had stretches where he has been elite, and yes, the MVP roll he was on early in the year was legit. Those who claim otherwise don’t deserve the respect of your response to their silly, ignorant agenda driven posts.
That said, anyone who knows anything about football and listens to those who do knows Dak is currently in a funk. He’s having a bad run where he’s making bad decisions, rushing the plays, not staying composed with his mechanics. It happens to all QBs. He has three weeks to start finding his stride and improving his play. It is unlikely that he will suddenly turn around and play at the elite level he was at early this season, but he must improve.
It’s not the OL or the lack of a run game; It’s not the receivers or the play-calling. We have all seen Dak play extremely well with and without a run game, behind a crappy OL, with backup receivers, with plenty of drops, and with head scratching play calls. When it’s obvious he’s playing well, it’s easy to then pinpoint the OL not giving time for plays to develop or drives ending because of penalties or dropped passes or insane play calls. Dak needs to slow it down, see what he sees pre-snap, but also adjust to what he sees post-snap, step up in the pocket, slide in the pocket to buy time, keep his feet under him and have good mechanics. The answer cannot always be get rid of the ball quickly.
We’ve seen him play his game many times, but right now he is NOT playing well. Winning or losing and success in the playoffs is not on hm alone. But if he continues to play poorly, he definitely shoulders a huge, disproportionate share of the blame, as he should.
But if you want to discuss with silly, emotional, irrational comments about him being a poor QB, that he’s always been a poor QB, don’t expect a response from me. If you want to discuss why he’s currently playing at a poor QB level, bring it because that is certainly fair.
I don’t know if Dak will pull out of it or not, nor to what degree he will right the ship, but at 9-4 and the playoffs on the horizon, I’m certainly hopeful that he will get back to 75% of what he was to start the season to make the playoffs a fun experience.
I said the same and some said I was attacking Dak
