Troy Aikman on Dak

Captain-Crash · Oct 10, 2018

qb can't see the field or zeke is whispering in his ear wanting the ball.. I hope dak doesn't get zeke kicked off the team too.

Like the thread about Dak's 3rd down rate where I provided you with facts to prove your 8 to 10+ 3rd pass conversions overturned by penalty was incorrect? You came back at me with...

I gave you links to an NFL penalty chart that showed you there were only 2, game logs to back that up and yet you replied with that. And you are pointing out someone complaining about facts?

Lol. Rich.

You still don't know how to count individual plays. Instead, you bunch them up in order to support your miscalculated brain.

What’s up w this play

It's obvious that person doesn't understand the play called. Why post a video of someone who doesn't understand the game due to the play called? How is that Dak's fault? If anything, he should be upset with Linehan for calling in that play.

I like Eddie George’s take about getting some weapons at WR and a security blanket TE to relieve the load on Zeke and to help Dak with more options.

He also talked about when he had to carry the ball 300+ times and what helped a young, struggling Steve McNair gain confidence and a PhD as a QB.

The complainers don't want to hear such advice from experienced ex-players. It's too hard for them to comprehend. They just want their feelings stoked by getting rid of Dak. Reminds me of the whiners on the streets across this nation.

And yet his completion %, yards, yard per attempt, rate, yard per game, the team's record, and pretty much everything else improved, not regressed, from year 1 to year 3.

Therein lies the issue. I have no problem with Dak. I honestly root for Dak to succeed. However all those things listed above are going backwards. And it's hurting the team I root for.

Aikman's teams and talent around him improved drastically from year 1 to year 3. Dak's has done the opposite. Get a clue?

Exactly, Coach!!!

Dak was very accurate as a rookie, so we know he can do it.

This isnt correct. Dak's throwing motion didnt look right then and still doesnt throw a good ball.

Dont forget that in 2016 opposition coaches had no film on Dak. So they had no analysis of his tendencies, strengths and weaknesses. They had to assume he could make all the throws until proven otherwise. This creates more space. As rookie QBs play, their strengths and weaknesses are assessed and opposition coaches key on the strengths.

The above is why we often see QBs having a great rookie year or first year as a starter and then start to slump.

I would defer to Aikman any time. But its also obvious. I get the impression Dak holds the ball and is indecisive because even he knows he is not accurate enough to squeeze a ball into a receiver who is covered. But its worse than that. Remember the Panthers game when he overthrew Gathers in the end zone. Gathers was wide open. He underthrew Blake Jarwin on another play. This week he overthrew Austin for what should have been a big play. In this league those plays make a difference between a in and a loss potentially. You get those opportunities only a few times a game so missing those throws is huge.

I also think Dak does miss what defenses are doing a lot. Those blitzes the Texans were running. I could see they were going to blitz on my TV but Dak ran plays right into the blitzes a few times. The old saying is the way to stop those blitzes is to burn the defense a couple of times. Dak doesn't. So Aikman is probably right about Dak's anticipation too.

My only question is, is it Dak or poor QB coaching?

i agree....vs TEX: to Austin he trow high....to TEs low......Dak looks "worried"

It's ok guys jerry is going to use the next two No1 draft picks and a whole bunch of dollars on two WRs and a TE, so we can celebrate Dak moving from 200 to 225 yards per game. As long as the OL gives him no sacks or hurries and 5 seconds to throw. The futures so bright i gotta wear shades!

Troy just became a 2018 Fall Guy Emeritus Nominee

Dude, it was 8 weeks before Romo was ready to come back and the team was on fire, Walsh didn't do anything Dak did. And Jimmy said he wouldn't bench Dak.

FYI it wasn't Steve Walsh, he'd been traded to the Saints by then it's was Buerlein and he played the final 4 regular season games and started the 2 playoff games.

So do you sleep in your size XXL Dak Prescott jersey like a nightgown?

Lol! Once a brat always a brat. No loyalty.

Calling out the shortcomings of current players doesn't equal no loyalty.

WORST starting QB in the NFL.

looks like a guy with fear eating himself up. He's hearing footsteps and panics. Don't look at the guy wide open. The offensive line and wr's are just bad. lmao

He's horrible dude. There's no other way to describe it.

Troy knows QB's...Dak is no OB and no Troy Aikman and will never be.
