Video: Cris on Dak Prescott: 'If you think Dak would be great anywhere, you're crazy'

[Boyzmamacita]

The schedule isn't what matters here. What matters is whether we can win playoff games when it matters.

So we go from talking about Dak to talking about the overall team. Based on available evidence, Dak Prescott has what it takes to excel at the NFL level. Team success will follow.

whenever someone says anyone can play behind that o line all u have to say is

Weeden
Cassell
Moore
Sanchez


Romo and dak have been the only ones to show great success. Yes, that line helps a young qb a lot. But if a qb sucks...he sucks.

It depends.

How many Cowboys fans blame Linehan when he goes away from Zeke and the offense started stalling?

Their whole passing game now is efectiveky built off play action with Zeke in particular.

The year before, they didn't have Zeke, they went through a REVOLVING door at QB, Linehan didn't get a QB a whole off-season to prep for when Romo went down and was forced QBs from on top and that played conservative dink and dunk football.. Dak got all the reps in training camp because Romo was still resting in surgery.

And they had the Dez high-sprain issue and the Clarence Hill Fiasco with him. There was the Greg Hardy incident as well.

Comparing the year before Dak got there and after him is comparing apples and oranges. Event Martin had the neck injury he was working through.

After week 1 and the talking heads don't know what to do or say. They are scared to death.

If he had a good coaching staff he would. Talking Heads...gotta love em.

 

[Etchyboy]

Hater gonna hate. Chris is a hater.

So why weren't the 2015 Cowboys any good if it's all because of our o-line? Hmmmm.....

Dak though is a golden orange.

 

[Blue&Silver]

He's right. He wouldn't be good in Philly where they seemingly pass on every down, and the quarterback is constantly under duress. Dak needs our offensive line keeping pressure off, and needs a big running game. Our team is built for him as long as we are not way behind.

 

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Dak doesn't really make plays :\

 

[khiladi]

So why weren't the 2015 Cowboys any good if it's all because of our o-line? Hmmmm.....

Like I said, Romo was practicing and got hurt in pre-season. They didn't practice with a QB other than him.

Than the Cowboys played revolving door at QB and simplified their offense for dunk and dunk and went extremely conservative.

They also didn't have Zeke and with Zeke, the passing offense was adjusted by Linehan to play off of Zeke via play-action. In 2016, Romo had surgery so the whole offense practiced without him the whole offense and Linehan had time to coach an offense that wasn't dependent on Romo.

Dez also had the high ankle sprain and Martin had a neck issue. Plus, Dez had the issue with Watkins.

 

[Section446]

This season, Dak is just another QB, nothing special at all.

 

[Noclaf]

Hater gonna hate. Chris is a hater.

After today he is totally and completely right

 

[mattjames2010]

Throw Dak on the trade block and see what some will give for him. Hopefully we get a top 5 pick.

I'm not saying we would have won this game with other QBs, but he simply just can't do anything with a lot put on his shoulders. We do not have the defense for someone of his play style.

Can we sticky this thread so all our so-called craptastic "fans" can own it later after they're done sulking.

Lol @ top 5 pick.

Im sure this team will bounce back but the fact is Dak is a system qb.

When one part of that system breaks down he is not going to beat you from the pocket

He is an average nfl qb and noithing more than that

 

[Blue&Silver]

This season, Dak is just another QB, nothing special at all.

He's actually very very good managing the offense, and getting short passes to his receivers, and backs. He's just not a guy that's going to win games with his arm. He never was, but he's been perfect in our offense with the good offensive line most games, and the best running game in football most days.

People have overinflated expectations of the kid. He was 3 round pick for a reason he has limitations but he's exceeded expectations by a lot.

 

[mattjames2010]

Lol @ top 5 pick.

I think we'd at least get a first rounder for him, you can then use two first round picks to move up. It doesn't just have to be Donald, there are a couple of really good QBs coming out.

 

[Sydla]

I am now at 7 out of 10 on the concern level for Dak.

He's doing things this year that he didn't do last year - many bad decisions and dumb throws, he seems incapable of trying to pushing the ball down the field, he seems itchy in the pocket and seems to quickly try find a 5 yard dump off.

Guess what? Wentz actually is probably the better QB.

The issue here is, with a QB like him, you need a VERY solid team around him. Run first offense, meaning great line, with a good to great D.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

The play calling was mind boggling and Dak and Dez are so far off the same page it's ridiculous. I actually didn't think Dak played all that bad if you took the throws to Dez away. He missed Beasley on one throw, but other than that...besides the throws to Dez...I was not dismissed by his performance.

This is not a dink-n-dunk offense. It's an offense that is based on deeper throws with the running game. It's based on a balanced attack that runs the ball and then opens things up by having deep pass plays with Witten and Beasley working underneath.

It's also an offense that works best when we work to set the edge and then have Dak run bootlegs. This way we can stretch the field not only vertically, but horizontally.

But Garrett and Linehan showed once again that when he doesn't trust us to run the ball well, he'll give up the run game to start throwing. Just like Dom Capers once said...keep blitzing and Garrett will stop running the ball and that only makes D-Coordinators want to blitz more since there is no threat of a run.

When we needed a big play to get a quick score...we went to 4 or 5 wide which is all quick-hitter plays. Tough to throw it deep when you have 6 or 7 rushing against 5 blocking. God forbid you actually have 6 or *gasp* 7 blockers and set up a play get Dez or T-Will one-on-one with a deep pass. Or *gasp*, stick with the outside runs and then run a bootleg. It's not like that didn't work last year.
