He's physically gifted. He's tough. He leaves it all out on the field. He doesn't let bad plays get him down. He says the right things and represents the team well, and his teammates seem to like him. That's all great.

He's also a better quarterback than most.

But if this season has proven one thing, it is this: Dak Prescott is not a smart player.

How can anyone even argue otherwise?

Over and over again, Dak makes the same mistakes. He makes terrible throws to the other team in the worst spots. He throws to receivers who are double and triple covered.

Each time Dak throws a crippling interception, he gets up at the podium after the game and says the same thing: Can't happen. Won't happen. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.

And then he does it again. And again. And again.

What else can you call a player who doesn't learn?

In tonight's game, Dak threw a terrible ball that would have been yet another easy pick-6, if not for Fuller falling down and dropping it. So what does he do ON THE VERY NEXT PLAY? He throws an even worse ball TO THE SAME SPOT, AND TO THE SAME DEFENDER. Pick 6.

The announcers were tripping over themselves not to call him stupid. Because it was stupid.

Did he learn from it? No. He kept throwing to receivers with two or three Washington players draped all over them.

Oh, sure, we'll win more than we lose with Dak. We'll even put up 30 and 40 points sometimes and look great. But it's an illusion. We won't win games THAT MATTER unless someone can figure out how to fix a quarterback who makes bad decisions this often.

Prescot is like a drug addict who tells his family everything they want to hear as he's robbing them blind! Prescot is the next Wentz in the NFL.

this trend has been evident for several seasons now - he is yet to meet the moment when it counts.

First ball wasn't a "terrible decision".

It was the WR changing what he was showing the QB right when it was thrown.

Can you show some pictures \ video to illustrate this?

Those smarts are what separates the great/generational QBs from just the good QBs of the time like Dak. He just doesn't have it...nothing wrong with it, that's just who he is. Lots of other similar starting QBs have had long careers but were limited by this. It will take an all-time great defense like the 2000 Ravens for Dak to ever be a Super Bowl champion.

Uh oh, you just made Americas Cowboy blow his top. You said the obvious about Dak and he will not be happy. You better run and hide.

Dak lost on most plays using his legs today. And our 11 million dollar Schultz'kowski couldn't save him (on 9 targets for 33 yards) 2 weeks in a row!!! OOF!!

Ha ha ha

Wake up Kellen Moore!!!

Those tes are cursed at scoring tds in the playoffs

This is a fair assessment but I’d also add that physically gifted should be altered to not include throw accuracy. Dak is an anomaly with accuracy. If Madden really did his stats right, his throw accuracy stat would literally be a random number on every play. One play he’s a 95, next play he’s a 27. It’s just a random value that has no basis even when distance is factored. Even his check downs can sail or give in the dirt 5 years in front. He is truly an enigma

I will be the voice of sanity in a world of piranha. Dak is a mostly 5th round QB who is an over achiever with the ability to take his team far IF, the Oline is good, and he has receivers with separation. He's not a tight window thrower and a QB who processes things quickly like Mahomes etc. So why make him that? If he's going to be your QB, you need to have the brains to give him plays that compliment him.

You can't have a weak offensive line, which we do, because he's not the best scrambler in the world. You can't give him average speed receivers because he's not overly efficient in throwing in tight windows, and you need a better offensive system if you're going to not only pay Dak but keep him. If you're not going to do those things, let him walk, who cares how much you paid for him.
