The throw wasn't clean but Noah Brown has to catch it. Either way the QB is a liability and it shows when the defense and running game doesn't carry his arse.

That throw is a situation where blame can be spread around. That's just a bad decision and force by Dak there. And yes Brown should have caught it.

Dak has made a frustrating number of bad reads/throws over the last few weeks. This team is dead in the water if that continues.

I don't know how he can clean it up honestly. For whatever reason he wants to throw picks now. Not all are on him but he's making less safe throws and I think he feels he has to. I'm hoping as pass protection gets better with Tyron coming back he gains more confidence and stops throwing the risky throws. I'm all out of answers on this. The playbook isn't changing. The play calling isn't changing. The receivers for the most part aren't changing....This is our team and if the defense is going to play like this we have to play mistake free football.

I missed today's game but saw something in last week's game on Kurt Warner's breakdown. A few of Dak's bad throws/decisions had one thing in common in that game. He ignored where the safety was instead of taking a glance at where the guy was heading and ignored easier throws to more open receivers and tried for harder throws to one specific not as open player. Schultz. I'm not sure why he was so laser focused on the tight end, but he was ignoring open receivers to try to get it to him.

It makes me think either he doesn't trust his Wide Receivers as much right now or he's been struggling at reading defenses since coming back. It's inexplicable.

There should be a pinned thread that explains all the arguments and how they have ended at the top of this message board.

In this case...we would be able to point to the pinned thread on "DAK AND INT'S" with the conclusion of this topic that reads "historic data say he is generally safe with ball compared with other QB's...but the past year and a half things have changed with NFL DC's dropping 7 in coverage which is hurting all QBs"

Is it that hard? Or is trying to make this message board better a bad thing?

It could be either or. It doesn’t strike me as confidence. I think the most confidence he has is when his back is against the wall. Needs to be there from start.

That's the worst in the league.

The game ending pick 6 wasn't on him.

But the miss on Schultz in their own 20 was a terrible throw.

Prescott needs to clean up his game fast.
Wait till he faces philly's league leading sack defense. They have the potential to pressure us into careless mistakes all game long. If we lose to philly the season is over. I don't care that we make the playoffs. I am so upset with this team. I almost want philly to kick our butts. Then at least I can cut my emotional losses. One last thought, out front office S. U. C. K. S.

Dak's a gamer. He'll turn it on when the playoffs come around not worried about it. Either get on the bandwagon now or never.
:muttley: Sure he will........... Pretty sure you don't have vacancy issues for the bandwagon!!!!!:muttley:

I think Warner hit the nail on the head for a small part of the problem. Moore's "genius" playbook has all receiver routes developing at the same time/depth too often and it makes Dak struggle to make the reads fast enough as a result. Maybe Moore believes that makes it more unpredictable to defenses but it shows opposing teams Dak's tendencies in those situations, thus allowing more interceptions.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed this. Zeke and Pollard had run well in the first half.. we were dominating.. things were all set up.. and then we had two series in a row where we went pass-pass-pass-punt.. it was bizarre. Like no situational awareness.. and just weird.

Zeke had a great first half.. like dominate and then we barely sighted him for the 2nd half.

Moore and Dak just seemingly do not understand the game of football. Pass Happy is right.
Yet...we ran the ball 40 times...stop blaming Kellen for our QB deficiencies.

The bigger the game...the smaller he plays. Hell...you can even see it ...in game. He's ok....as long as he 's got a big fat lead....all he's gotta do is drive the bus. But if you ask him to do more against decent teams...he presses...makes horrible decisions...that leads to mistakes. That is only gonna take you so far. This franchise needs to accept...#4 is not the answer.

the defender affected the play, the defender saw the pass coming because of the way Dak threw it in desperation and awkwardly. Is it on him if you are being honest
LOL. The defender didn't even touch brown.

But on another note, how many can see the difference between him and Trevor Lawrence: Man that dude's release reminds me of Aikman's.

Dak fans literally thought he was better than Herbert. If Herbert is on this team, Moore would have a smile the size of the moon.
