I agree with the writer part but I also agree with where he has him and the reasoning.What difference does it make where one sportswriter ranked him? The fact is he did not play well when it counted down the stretch. He played poorly and he admitted he played poorly. The simple fact is he cannot play that way if the Cowboys are going to win anything.
Prescott said the calf injury was an excuse given to him by others beyond the actual effect of that and admitted he did not play well.
The team needs to assess if this system, this offense and play calling, suits his game because it came undone as the season progressed. The OL is also suspect because this team needs the run game as the fulcrum of the offense.
One thing that happened when Romo was renewed, he started participating in the game plan on Tuesday's and it improved. I do not know if Prescott has the same offensive mind as Romo but there are contributing factors to his decline beyond some slump.
The guy is in the MVP talk and stumbles down the stretch and unless that is addressed, it will repeat. These DC's have all the film they need. Prescott no longer uses his legs as he used to and he needs time and a clean pocket.
What I don't get is the man has admitted his game fell off, he did not play as well as he is capable, what else do people want from this guy, he is not taking the excuses given to him.
The other element to this is how come he's the only one that catches heat because of the team's record against the better teams? What about the coaching and the rest of the team?
