Chris Collinsworth brought up something we've all been thinking

[J12B]

I’m in the minority on this. Yes he’s not what he was mobility wise but I do think he’s mobile enough to get out of the pocket. Tom Brady could do it. His lack of mobility isn’t the issue. He either seems reluctant to run or pocket presence sucks and it could be both. They clocked him last year running 21 mph on a run. I think he doesn’t want to run. Even before the injury he had this same issue wouldn’t run.

I think he's still mobile enough to buy an extra couple of seconds, but it's not helping things.

And I don't understand why he doesn't want to run.

It has been effective for him and the offense in the past.

He had open space tonight, but decided to just throw down field or out of bounds.

He looks really stiff and old to me. Like a 50% increase in decrepency from the year before, Father time, too much weights?

My biggest issue with Dak is he doesn't seem to improvise or isn't allowed to. Most of his big plays come from improvisation and throwing on the run. But to sit here and watch him time and time again drop back and either throw a pick or throw to a triple covered Lamb...I just can't anymore.

I'm glad Collinsworth pointed out how Dak just does not look like the same player this year on that final drive where he rolled out of the pocket barely able to throw the ball away.

Collinsworth said he that the Old Dak would have been able to have taken off and run with it cresting some positive yards.

But Dak is so immobile now.

Looks slow and even uncoordinated with how he turns his body.

He can't create any extra time anymore or take off and run for at least 5 or 6 yards.

This is very concerning.

Hence why that contract is beyond absurd now......

Should have rode with Trey.....Maybe we still will.....

He looked pretty fast running across the road on the demolition of his previous home a week and half ago.

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

He is seeing even more ghosts out there than normal. The pressure of performing with that contract has gotten to him.

Definitely has to be pressure, being paid to perform like you're Mahomes but Falling way short

No it hasn’t… he’s checking his bank account every Monday morning and smiles $60M year for the next 4 years…

 

[CATCH17]

It’s going to be years before we recover from this Dak deal.

What is concerning, is that this team will not be participating in any NFC Championship Games for the next 5 years.

When your starting quarterback tells you he’s working on his footwork 9-10 years after being drafted- you might have a quarterback problem.

If your quarterback’s best line after the game is I gotta play better week in and week out- you might have a quarterback problem.

When your quarterback throws the same time of interception to a cornerback who reads his eyes and sinks back on a poorly thrown ball two games in row- you might have a quarterback problem.

 

[Sarge]

Can’t win with a slow immobile qb that’s not elite passer. It’s pretty much over next 4 years. He’s not gonna get any better or faster.

He’s gonna get slower and worser.

Like to know who times him at 21 mph. That faster then he was when he was drafted. That's running like a 4.5 40.

$60M a season.

There is stupid, then there is paying Dak that kind of money.

Especially when you were aware of his limitations.
For the life of me, I can't figure it out.

 

[DuncanIso]

Well, it’s only concerning until the cowboys can cut Dak.

Just accept the fact that they aren’t winning the Super Bowl for another 4 years at least.

2026. Post June 1.

The deal basically pays Dak through 2025.

We had to pay either way.

But it pumps up the cap hit.

Even with a post June 1 cut in 2026, we take a huge cap hit. 70M

 

[DuncanIso]

Dallas needs to work on Lances new deal after the season.

 

[noshame]

Dallas needs to work on Lances new deal after the season.

And.....draft a QB

 

[khiladi]

Looking for excuses to justify defending this mediocre QB for so long. Jerry wasted years for the Jason Garrett QB training project..

Dak could never throw consistently against zone. Teams are just rushing 4 and making him sit back in the pocket to make decisions.

 

[khiladi]

Dak has mentally checked out. This is why you don't resign a QB after their second contract if they haven't taken the team deep into the playoffs.
Jerry made the mistake with Romo and Jerry did it again with Dak.

No he hasn’t “mentally checked out”. He sucks and the roster has caught up with him, so he’s exposed. He’s never been able to throw against zone. With this RG and average OL, he is forced to more than ever.

 

[nate dizzle]

Yup....what even more stupid is people wasting their time by bringing it up tone and time again, like it's gonna go away. On the other hand, it's even more stupid of me to keep pointing that out. I need quit spitting into the wind

Lot has changed since Sept when the Stans threw the parade for signing their man...rubbing it in everyone's face that wanted Dak to play out the season and re-evaluate.

Now they don't wanna talk about it.
