Dak Most Dangerous This Year?

[Flamma]

I just hope he is physically able. That was a serious injury.

Excellent point. This is my worry too. Dak is going to be Dak. He's not getting better. I just hope he's at his best and our run game is good. If that happens we can see another 2016. If not, we're looking at another 7 win season.

Dak cares….and then uses an analogy or a guy who wants to lose weight but doesn’t care to do it. :lol:

Cares enough to think about it, talk about it but isn't really feeling it enough to do what it takes.

So much goes right over your head. lol


Take some well-intentioned advice and get outside for a few minutes today. It will do you good.

Over and out.

Dak's play dropped significantly last season, *after* he got his 3rd contract.

Let's hope's he's inconsistent on his 3rd contract and doesn't play like that again.

He had some good games last season. He played well in the opener against Cleveland. He didn’t play well against New Orleans in week two and some of that was due to our defense getting its doors blown off. He had a real good game against Baltimore passing for 379 yards with two TDs and no INTs but once again our defense was getting destroyed. We got way behind in the game, but Dak brought us back and we had a chance to win in the end, but our defense couldn’t get our offense the ball back. He had an excellent game the next week against the Giants.

He had an up-and-down game against Pittsburgh the following week with 350+ yards, two TDs and two INT’s but he led us on a last ditch drive and won the game on the final play. He didn’t play well the next two weeks, but he was having a good game against Atlanta when he was injured. He didn’t play poorly last year. Overall, he was better than average, despite our defensive issues and all the injuries we suffered.

If we "get behind early in the game"...the offense shares a bit of responsibility in it. It means a slow start. It means we cant match them or even just hold the ball.

Its a problem for us.

I read every post in the thread, including that one.

There is nothing in that post that changes the context of the post I chose to actually quote. There are things in that post which support my reply. Your problem is you talk yourself in circles with all the rationalizations then have trouble keeping it all straight.

Maybe you should re-read your posts a few more times before you hit reply.

Exactly....he thinks he can trap people if he just keeps typing. But he ties himself up with it.

I think if that is the reason you are here you are a very foolish person.

You're supposed to blame the defense when the offense starts slow and can't get their crap together....

Get with the program, buddy.

That offense last year had no chance of being successful. A rookie at LT who was eventually benched because of his poor play, a rookie at the most important position on the line who was just learning a new position, a RG who was no where near his prime and played like it and a RT who wasn’t fully recovered physically or mentally from his injury. They were all coached by Solari who is now out of football. Their “running game” behind that line was led by Zeke Elliot who is now out of football and was way past his prime. They did have an All Pro WR but that was the only WR who could consistently be counted on to get open. The offense MM had out there was the WCO which every defense in the league knew how to counter.

Last years offense was a joke and was doomed from day 1. No QB, past or present, would succeed in that offensive offense.

Another article in during the silly part of the NFL season. This one claims Dak has nothing to prove so he could at his best. It is almost and admission that Dak fails under pressure. I think there is something to that theory. Last year the pressure was proving he was worth that ridiculous contract Jerry gave him. We are a year past that so maybe that pressure is off...maybe.

The benchmark for Dak is not winning regular season games. We are past that. For him it is all about the post-season. If he flops again in the playoffs it will add another layer of cement to his reputation for failing in big spots.

So he failed under pressure to start last year??

So what happened to the offensive line, the run game, wr separation, and the defense, because they were all horrible, that they all have $60 million contracts that they failed and because it was pressure??

is that what you're saying i,t was pressure, no the pressure is playing with a bad team and having fans expect and blame one player for all of it..​

Yes that includes the playoffs, has nothing to do with his legacy,

this team's been bad against other teams we're bad in the trenches ,we're bad at getting separation, I mean the man has to play with guys being mugged not getting open outside of Lamb and even him has been covered because there's nobody to take coverage ,no run game ,can't stop the run ,giving up like 50 points ,​

​

you blame him for the two interceptions and you don't even know how to look at a game because those two interceptions were not even really on the quarterback sure he has to own them because he let the football go.​

I Challenge you to go look at the two interceptions again and find out the one the Brandon Cooks he was interfering with not once but twice the DB got the leverage and pulled on him in order to get that ball.

it wasn't called that's just bad breaks. Go look at the one that Lamb was supposed to keep running a crosser or whatever he was running he was supposed to come across the field that whatever depth, I don't know, He saw he wasn't open, So what he do he went off script and broke off his play, Prescott already made up his mind to throw the ball and it was no way to change it the ball was being released, again bad breaks blaming those interceptions on the quarterback when nothing else was going right and they were just trying to make a play he was giving his receivers a chance to make a play out but those weren't just like really dumb bad passes there were reasons for those interceptions...

Yes, I'm talking about the Green Bay playoff blowout, that was almost all on the defens,e but there was also nothing on offense nobody was getting open nobody can block ,I mean they gave up a touchdown on the very first drive it looked like it was practice, they literally gave up a touchdown on almost every possession until Green Bay waved the white flag ,and went into prevent mode ,and that's when both sides look to play better and it was a false positive it was not good from start to finish...​

You don't have to read this, and I don't care but that same playoff season the San Francisco 49ers started the game the exact same way they had a terrible first half, they were down by a bunch against the Lions, and yet nobody blamed their quarterback ,they didn't look at each other and give up, they didn't claim to be tired, That along with cardio you know what they did they play better defense better special teams and they slowly found a rhythm on offense and they brought themselves all the way back to a win..ironic huh

You know what our team did after halftime our defense gave up three straight touchdowns and you're blaming the quarterback they literally we saw a game exactly like ours a team step up after halftime and one that didn't....​

​

and yet oh it's on Prescott his playoff legacy sucks because his team around him sucked in that moment from top to bottom the teams have been bad in a lot of these losses And yet all you can signal out is Prescott and you are one of the biggest Prescott haters here don't say you're not everything I read anti Prescott.​

​

Hey to eat your own you don't want to hear facts Matthew Stafford led the league in interceptions he threw two interceptions in the Super Bowl this team bailed him out and they still won nobody remembers his two interceptions,​

​

He led the league in interceptions and yet made the Super Bowl through two interceptions in the Super Bowl and they still won you know why because his team was better top to bottom that's why his coaching staff was better he was the same old Stafford from the Lions who wasn't better than Prescott not better than Romo he was Romo 2.0 in the first place same number same game yet he needed to change teams and get on a super team in order to win....​

​

look I watch games,​

​

i'm not claiming Prescott played great ,He did play bad at times, He wasn't good at all in that first half but neither was the rest of the team, blaming him is ridiculous he's supposed to overcome that when Roger and Troy never had to overcome that they literally had some of the best offensive lines and run games and hit in the history and the play collars the head coach both of them had the best, remember that....​

​

Facts not hyperbole..​

what is wrong with everyone? is there Dak fatigue? what is wrong with the Daksessed fans? this is over 24 hours and this thread. with Dak in the subject only 5 pages. come on folks. find your second wind. look for your anger and hatred towards Dak, find your total loyalty to dak and post post post. lets reach the 10 page mandatory Dak thread. don't let me down. I am contributing. come on now

well yes and a no.
what is defenses job? to hold them and force them to punt. but when they allow the other team to score 6 straight drives of 75 yards or more, you can't blame the offense for not keeping up. that many scores that easily is rare and it speaks volumes to how bad the defense is. when you are first on the field, give up a TD with no 3rd downs and allow the other team to hold the ball for 8 minutes. then that speaks volumes on how bad the defense is.

we can't just say, hey offense keep up and score every possession, keep up with the other team's offense.

now, this doesn't excuse some of the other slow starts they have had. so that's why I said, yes and a no....the offense has to be better too.

yes, its a problem for us. defense. offense. coaching. ownership. all of it.

 

[TheSport78]

Agreed. Off top I think of Stroud, Dak and Jayden. Just guys that came in and looked like pros. People can say what they want about Dak now but at that time he just looked to not be bothered. Looked to be poised and like a veteran. Didn't seem to be caught up in the big moments. Even in the Packers game he threw a pick but didn't seem to bother him. I did not see the San Francisco games and the Packers game down the line of where he just looked shook.

Totally. I think the 2020 injury really affected him psychologically. No longer a duel threat and hasn't been since the injury IMO.

Yeah maybe it’s his legs…..something clearly happened and it’s the only thing I can point to.

 

[khiladi]

Dak is garbage when he plays on a team that is having to draft 1st because of how much talent they don’t have. We saw that last year.

 

[TheSport78]

Yeah maybe it’s his legs…..something clearly happened and it’s the only thing I can point to.

An ankle dislocation w/ a compound fracture is no joke. The ligaments never return to their original "tout" status. It's probably why he doesn't feel stable running/taking off when the play isn't there. He was probably wearing the boot last year for the lack of stability.

 

[plasticman]

There is this perception that Dak is incapable of learning from experience and improving in critical areas.

Dak is a ten year veteran with an offense stocked with potential playmakers.

I have seen quarterbacks that had good careers but didn't cash in on championships until their later years.

Stafford is a good example. There is also Brad Johnson and Jim Plunkett.

Of course, other things have to go right but it can happen

 

[dupree89]

Nothing to prove?

I'd say he has everything to prove. If his career ended today he'd go down as a guy who capitalized on being in the right place at the right time but never rose to became part of the solution.

thank you. once i read that he has nothing to prove, i didn't bother clicking on it

Schottenheimer is trying to do what is the smartest thing to do to help Prescott and that is build a good running game.I think Dallas will run the ball much better than last season this will make things easier for Prescott.Pickens and Lamb will also help him.Dallas has put some weapons around Dak ,and he knows he has something to prove.I hope he has his best season.

Perfectly describes us. Typically results in a minimum of Dak ending up with easily 40+ pass attempts.
