When is last time Dak made runs like Mahomes and purdy did last week?

If you’re not elite passer then you gotta be able to make plays running. He can’t - he’s slow. He lumbers. Not shifty at all. Won’t be able to win big games against good defense with him. Why can’t jerry and dopy son just see this?? The coach and Mclay don’t say anything???
LOL, and to think Jerry is pondering giving a JAG who is making more than Mahomes APY an increase in salary. This in itself is ridiculous. At least Mahomes earns his salary and just about to win his 3rd SB. That's like comparing bologna to a Wagyu steak. And Purdy making his minimum and playing better than Dak on his way to the SB.

He's extremely slow and can't move, if he could it would really help this offense move better at times

QB's who dont run have been winning championships and making the Hall of Fame for 100 years, but hey whats trendy and "current" is what dictates facts to people I guess.

But if you can't run, you have to do the non-running things well.
Brady could slide around in the pocket without turning into a twitchy spaz under pressure, and delivered a good ball with all hell breaking loose around him.

Huge problem. He runs like he has a foot drop since that ankle injury.

I think he made epic improvements in the way he delivers the ball, especially downfield. He also trusted his receivers more.

He does need to work on seeing the field, true dat!
Heard there was a place in Honduras doing brain transplants on the cheap, they will also complete Daks back yard landscaping.

He's looking to run usually in the red zone as the Deer in the headlights syndrome hits his brain.
Looks like a constipated LB when running...................

I've posted this here before, but here is the NFL draft profile of him, https://www.nfl.com/prospects/dak-prescott/32005052-4528-5723-d1b2-96e92ebc1241, and there are weaknesses that stand out that are still weaknesses.

  • Pocket poise has been compromised
  • Hyper aware of pressure around him and lacks awareness to slide and find temporary shelter to make throw
  • Concern over pressure too often trumps ability to get through progressions
  • Must speed up the pace of his reads
All of this is why our offensive line ranks 6th but looks like 28th with him back there. That whole list can be summed up as:

Panics in the pocket at the first sign of pressure + slow processor = Big Googly Deer Eyes

I don't believe that Dak ever recovered from that gruesome ankle injury back in 2020' from a mental standpoint.. Since then, he's become an unwilling and very reluctant runner, which isn't good because he's limited and less effective as a QB without running, or at least being a threat to run.

The bigger problem is that your QB in his 9th year still cant read zone defense....................THAT IS A HELL OF A LOT BIGGER PROBLEM THAN HIS YARDS PER CARRY AVG!

Dak’s main problem is he makes bad decisions in big games, especially playoff games. His athletic ability is good enough.
