The reads have been simplified and the emphasis is less on optioning and timing the route to be uncoverable and more on using route combinations to create opening and stress coverages. People want to act like that is about Dak and to an extent it has to be but I think it is much more about the Tolbert and Browns of the world who made repeated mistakes or simply could not keep up.

But I don't mind the Dak bashing. Most of of it is uncompelling nonsense and doubting him and the team is likely to only encourage a better performance. So whinge away guys.
Agree with most of what you say except for the timing will be dialed up, not down, it has to be in order for MMs TCO scheme to be successful.
This offense hasn't exactly been known for well timed and executed screen plays.
They have shown improvement, but nowhere near the level of execution that you have to have in order to run a shorter/intermediate passing game.
Hitting quick slants and setting up screens is all about timing.

What is it that you dont understand? Its pretty obvious. They wanted a play that would pick up about 20 yards and leave enough time on the clock for one more play from the 20 to score a TD.

It worked perfectly actually. Problem was the stupid ref was taking his sweet @ZZ time getting down the field. The ENTIRE Cowboys team is sitting there over the ball for 3 seconds before the ref even gets into the screen. Then he comes barreling in. 100% the fault of the ref.
If we want to put the blame on the ref, go ahead but you are wrong to call him stupid. How stupid is a QB who doesn't know the ref needs to touch the ball and put it in play?

Dak in 6 playoff games has 15 TD's and 5 picks and a QBR of 92.3

Once again, the laughable lies of troll nation are blown out of the water. Facts are stubborn things.

Only two games he didnt play great were against the #1 defense in the NFL with the horrid Zeke at RB.
Interesting tidbits about 6 playoff games.
What's Deek's playoff record in those 6 games, old fellow?

No, absolutely not.

What I want is for the site leaders here at the Zone is to recognize that the crazy amount of Dak threads is like an invasive species destroying the biosphere of what could be a healthy NFL forum.

You guys, with your crazed hatred are the equivalent of the carp or snakehead fish polluting our NFL waters with what amounts to an overwhelming amount of “trash fish”, preventing those of us with regular ol’ “Cowboy Talk”, from having a place to carry on reasonable discussion.

Pappy, you are the poster child for the toxic environment here. You know it. The staff knows it, and God knows the tank and file know it.

Now, have a seat and let the adults have a reasonable discussion.
This is ridiculous. What does it matter how many QB threads there are? Does it bother some kind of OCD you have? It is irrelevant and has nothing to do with the "health" of this site which is by far and away the top Cowboys discussion forum. There isn't another that even touches this one when it comes to fans and activity so get real with that fake black pill you are trying to give people because you don't call the shots.

If you just simply can't stand his, or anyone else's posts then ignore them. How hard is it to do that?

And your final insult about "adults" having a discussion, well, you protest way too much there.

If Dallas resigns Dak ($50 MM/year, then one of Micah Parsons, Trevon Diggers, or Cee Dee Lamb will no longer be on the team.
The real damage is yet to occur. At least Dallas would be smart to wait and see how Dak performs this fall before proceeding forward.
No I do not want them to re sign dak until he proves he's worth something
The sad fact is hes gonna break the bank. No matter what because they already owe him the money.

Sportswriters in general are just different versions of TV “journalists” who report the nightly “news”—models supporting an agenda, and/or opportunists manufacturing drama or presenting ridiculous bias to instigate clicks for personal gain. Inconsistent integrity and little factual evidence, just snarky opinions to incite the masses. On top of that, they’re insulated. They say whatever they want and get away with it, just as long as they don’t contradict their masters’ agenda and keep the click$ coming.

ESPN is different, being owned by Disney, which is now a foreign company. Their rules are different.
