Dak decision making

[Clove]

I’m out on Prescott. The Cowboys need to be drafting their franchise QB next year with a new head coach.

I'm with you, time to draft a FIRST ROUND QB and see what happens.

 

[Frosty]

he's a backup and that is what he was picked to be, don't pretend he's going to be rodgers. well maybe he could be rodgers with accuracy issues, pocket awareness issues and fear. yep just like rodgers.

Dak, looked a lot like Weeden and Cassell did when Romo went down with a broke collarbone. Teams are going to stop the run and force Dak to beat them. Cowboys dont get this fixed its gonna be a long season and high draft pick....

 

[Captain-Crash]

but if you just need a bus driver on a very good team with a rb getting almost 5 yards per carry, then shaky is the guy for you to get those 2 tough yards. His 2 to 3 yard bombs are a thing of beauty..

The defenses are no longer giving the things Dak likes. They will continue to not give the things Dak likes.

Dak is not very good at taking the things the defenses are currently giving.

 

[Captain-Crash]

defenses are going to pressure him until he proves he can make plays with his arm and why shouldn't they.

 

[HungryLion]

Dak is too conservative.

I mean it’s good to not have turnovers. But he needs to start airing it out more and either sink or swim.

Yup. Like that he isn't some unhinged gunslinger, but you can't keep on checking down on 3rd and 10, when you are down in the game.

Dak had success his rookie year because the running game was having a great season, protection was ridiculously good and opposing teams weren’t prepared for him. Ever since teams have had tape on this dude, he’s gotten worse and worse.

Watching him pass is just sad. The guy doesn’t have a NFL arm.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

So up until week 10 of last year, he was fine. In fact, was among the leaders in almost every category.

Now his arm is bad? Seems to me something else changed around him...the OL. Sacked 10 times in the first 8 games last year...sacked 22 times in the last 8 games.

Sacked 6 times yesterday. NO QB thrives with no protection. NONE.

But keep taking your tired bs weak arm argument as valid.

 

[starcity214]

Hell yes! Couldn't agree more! Also, might help the new Left Guard. The kid was getting beat on like a drum

How many Roll outs does Brady do per game?

Exactly.

To this day , nobody has figured out how to neuter a QB that can sit in the pocket and slice you to pieces. The Zone read , wild cat , Rollout types always get figured out..

A franchise QB has to grow and work on his weaknesses but you guys want to keep Prescott as a gimmick type QB and that will only hurt him and this team..

He is probably holding the ball a lot longer because none of the receivers are getting separation.

Nah it’s the nfl. Dudes get open

Jarwin looked pretty "separated" on that wounded duck Dak threw. Dak's failure to step up in the pocket (to allow his linemen to hold their blocks) instead of fading back to San Antonio and throwing off of his back foot is a problem that he better correct if he wants to keep his job. Yeah, Short took Williams lunch money and got pushed into Dak's lap a few times, but not on the Jarwin play and not on a number of others that Dak simply whiffed on.

Anybody this is saying it’s the o-line or receivers need to watch without blinders on.

This tweet illustrates what we have seen from Dak since his rookie year. Perfect pocket and two open receivers in the biggest moment of the game. Both Hurns and Beasley are open. He is just as much to blame for the sacks as the o-line.

 

[viman96]

IMO Dak needs to process and execute faster. Much easier said but still that is his problem.

 

[Arkyvarminter]

Without a doubt the running game is a big help, but that doesn't specifically address the point of this thread. Dak was getting rid of the ball more quickly as a rookie, and he is holding the ball a lot longer now.

He's too conservative due to listening to Garrett. He needs to sling it or take off running......

 

[Mr Cowboy]

Until I see Dak in an creative offense where the defense doesn't know what is coming, I will reserve judgement on him. This antiquated offense is not designed to have receivers come open quickly and most times they never come open at all. I'm not apologizing for Dak, but he gets no help from the coaching staff or scheme.

I could see Rush replacing Dak mid-season if things continue on a downward spiral. This implosion will at least be interesting to watch.

No, more blame. The ball should have been out seconds before.

The playbook has been completely revamped, so I have no idea what you're talking about. Dak's not executing. The O-line are not blocking, the receivers are not catching. How is that Linehan's fault, let alone Garrett's? Nobody gets a pass including the coaches, but this whole "it's all the coaches fault" narrative is lazy analysis, plain and simple.

Amen. Add this to stepping up and throwing instead of fading back and throwing off his back foot (which would increase accuracy and velocity of his throws) and he might become the QB we all think he could be. Otherwise, he's a journeyman at best.

He definitely has mechanic issues but do not know if he processed faster they would improve. Or do the bad mechanics lead to slow execution?
