You’re still creating complaints on a media report about practices from 1-2 years ago, and that delay in a practice TD last TC was followed by a season where he was I believe 3rd or 4th in the NFL in TD passes
I’m not saying all is perfect with Dak, but this is working too hard to dig up a complaint.
The only real concern was some inconsistency with Dak and the offense as a whole last season. If that doesn’t straighten out there is something to talk about,but if it does I don’t care if he missed some open receivers in training camp in 2017 or 2018
The inconsistency was we couldn’t score against good defenses, we were 17th in red zone scoring and 22nd on the road, we were 1-7 when Dak threw over 40 times a game, a lot of his yardage was nothing but stat-padding, we lost all our games when trailing at half-time and so on. Dak’s problems such as throwing with his arm and off his back foot manifested itself again, his timing bring off, Dak can’t throw from the five to seven step drop which limits the play calling and so on.
It does matter that a QB can’t hit open WRs consistently in practice for three years and it’s some cause for celebration when he does. It affects timing and the offense has to be simplified and WRs are constantly having to adjust for him.
The fact is, like I stated, this has been a problem with Dak his whole career and shows how he holds the offense back and Dallas has spent 4 years “training” this guy like Jason Garrett. The limitations are HIS, not the coaching even if the play-callers were average. Even Jerry and Dallas admitted this in multiple ways including how much Dak stunk when Zeke was suspended.
There are plenty of people in this thread trying to elevate this mediocre QB over Romo with their false narratives, including “Dak’s practice habits” which is further exemplified supposedly because he built a football field in his backyard, all the while Dak couldn’t hit wide-open WRs pretty much his whole career in practice, he’s been known for not practicing well, so me “creating complaints” is more than relevant.
The fact is HIS practicing DOES affect the team, even if the TALENT level was able to overcome it to a limited extent. That’s why Cooper’s numbers are traditionally so good against man, but non-existent against zone. We see it all the time in Dak’s timing and when he has to throw against zone coverages.
