Clarence Hill and Hellman nugget on Dak cracking under pressure

[Hawkeye0202]

I never get the impression he’s leaving it all out on the field.

THIS, I think is the issue most of his supporters or former supporters now have. I mean there is nothing wrong with losing but did you leave all on the field? Forget you only played with one of your weapons or none but again did you leave it all on the field. Teammates, coaches, fans, and media can tell.
We will see but as stated in another post, I'm not sure now he will ever recover from the GB loss, especially making $60M.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I think Hellman is a nasty little guy but he is sport on here. How can anyone argue differently?

I agree......

How many times are we going to have to watch Dak crack under pressure before as all realize he is what he is. An average QB who is not built for the big moments. Very few are, but perhaps we start looking for one who is

Well, it's a little to late to start looking for one now. Jerry bent over again and let Dak have his way with him.

Dak is broken mentally and physically now, but you can thank the narcissist for that.

This is what I’ve been saying. I don’t put GB on Dak nearly as much as SF playoff game #1

In GB, it was an entire organizational failure. The Oline wasn’t ready to play, the receivers weren’t ready to play, the Dline wasn’t ready to play, the DBs weren’t ready to play, the linebackers weren’t ready to play. Yes Dak had a bad game, but would it have mattered if he had a good game?

Whereas SF 2021 wildcard round, the problem there was the score was 23-7 with 12 minutes left. The 14 second Dak scamper that ended the game was only an issue because you didn’t have enough time to come back due to the offense basically being asleep for the first 3 quarters. That was a very winnable game. I can’t remember the exact number but I think Dak had something like 100 total yards toward the end of the third quarter. It’s a tough defense but you gotta do something; the team ran out of time to play catchup from the hole they dug

Dak redzone INT on the 3rd offensve drive (I believe) after Dallas D had gotten a 3 and out, which led to a GB score (14-0). Pick six before halftime which made it 27-0. Dallas lost by 16. Dak gifting GB 14 points. Could've been close.

AC might post a Kurt Vid saying all those bad plays were someone else's fault.

By the way, AC and a few others have gone AWOL. lmao

 

[75boyz]

On his 5th playcaller, atrocious footwork still even as a 10 yr vet, poor to extremely poor record against above .500 competition or playoff opponents.
Injury prone.

So yeah,
Sign me up for 3 more years of that and he'll never play a full 17 game season again cuz he's all broke up.

Future so bright, I gotta wear shades.
LOL
Cowboys!

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

blah blah blah

there is a excuse for every thing

dak is a bum always have been always will be and no escuse will change that FACT

cowboys will never win a super bowl with him because he is a bozo BUM

and he is also a giant phony and his leadership is the most overrated thing ever

a great leader does not let his entire team no show for a playoff game can we have a little common sense here

so, do you really want to tell us what you think? that wasn't very clear

[CowboysFaninHouston]

“Toe to toe” with Rodgers, against a garbage GB defense and secondary with a WR running wide open that is no longer here.. at home to being down close to 20 pts in the first half..

And Seattle was Zeke and the OL completely wearing down the Seattle defense…. Both no longer here…

so when we win, credit goes to somebody else.
when we lose its all because of Dak

GB took their foot off the pedal. the 16 point difference is meaningless because of points scored against a prevent defense with less than a quarter to go...

Dallas offense and defense was dominated in that game. no ifs buts or thens

 

[kskboys]

Romo's flaw was that even on apoor Dallas team he never gave up his gunslinging ways. He was the guy who thought he could make something out of every play.

It was like he bought his own koolaid from the numerous times he escape certain death. As he got older one would have expected for him to tone down the risky behaviour. That wasn't the case, and he got hurt...in pre-season of all things.

He had issues w/ after snap reads his entire career.

 

[Blue&Silver]

Get him a strong supporting cast and Dak won't have anything to crack.

He will find a way even if everything was perfect.

 

[America's Cowboy]

What weapons has Dak had lately? How about his Oline? Where was the rushing attack? What about his coaches, playcalling and play designs?

We all saw such lack of weapons, injured Oline, questionable rushing attack and bad play designs catch up to Patrick Mahomes this past season (including the Super Bowl), but he gets a bye due to previous SB wins when he did have all of those weapons, good Oline and excellent play designs.

Bottom line, every QB needs weapons, a good Oline, a good rushing attack and very good play designs.

You're probably right. I'm just saying Rayne spotted GB 14 points in the 1st half, so there's a big difference going into halftime at 13 or even 20-7 versus 27-7.

 

[NotForLong]

I agree. He thinks he has to make plays and presses and is not equipped like mahomes to do that and ends up in bad plays.

I also think it's a team.issue. Dak had a bad game against GB... he made mistakes. But let's not excuse CD who dropped two passes that hit him in the hand. Great players make plays in great moments. Dak didn't. CD didn't. Then the rest of the team panicked...coach couldn't handle it and it was a disaster. The defense was bad against GB. They were shell shocked.

Against the niners. I thought both years they were the better team and bad match up for a soft team like the cowboys. A physical team playing a finesse team and guess who won.

We have to become.more physical to have success. Otherwise it's more of the same.
Not sure if it can happen that fast specially for a team with a 32 year old QB and holes everywhere

I love when people say it hit the Wide Receiver in the hands in reference to Dak. Never gets old

Another accurate Mahomes comparison. You should be assistant GM

 

[plymkr]

I will say this........some say it's him, others say he doesn't have enough talent around him. I don't know which it is but can both be true?

Definitely. I’m no Dak fan but I don’t understand why it has to be either or. I feel strongly that Dak does crumble under pressure AND he doesn’t have enough around him. Jerry and Stephen have failed him just like they failed Romo.

I feel anyone who looks at the playoff losses and states Dak is the sole reason we lost is blinded by bias and hate. Likewise if anyone watches the playoff losses and says the team let Dak down and Dak was robbed by the team’s play is in denial and willfully blind.

I don’t understand why it’s a controversial statement to say we have 2 independent problems. Dak is not a good QB in pressure games and Jerry has failed to build a team around him to make a championship run. I feel this issue of not acknowledging 2 independent truths is really dividing the fan base and it sucks.

 

[Bullflop]

Let's face it -- Dak requires an OL that's nearly perfect to provide him the protection he desperately needs to succeed. This FO had better see to it that he gets it, if they really want to be competitive. Otherwise, Dak will proceed to freeze and suffer awkward blunders, whenever things get hectic.

Let's understand that the Cowboys' FO has failed to afford him the protection that he must have to produce successful efforts. The realization that he often fails to react quickly under pressure must be dealt with for this offense to succeed. A mediocre OL will never provide success for Dak Prescott.

 

[CowboyoWales]

No, it's not the talent thing. Dak is completely different when under pressure. Has absolutely nothing to do w/ talent around him.

Example 1:
Tampa 31-14 (143 rating)......following week
San Fran 12-19 (63 rating)

Same roster - different scenario (having lead v chasing a deficit).
