Dak Prescott has been among the best in the league at protecting the football Weeks 1-4

It's not up to you to decide. Until you grasp the team game of football, you'll post more of this.

Now this I agree with.

It works both ways too.

That’s what happens when you have an offense that consists of short passes that eat up the clock. He’s not throwing risky bombs down the field like these other QBs are. He should be protecting the football if he’s not going to be playing high risk high reward (not that he’s capable of doing that properly anyways).

Oh how the narrative changes with the Dak haters. First he throws too many int’s(which career wise is absolutely false). Then when he doesn’t throw any int’s it’s because of the offense. Haters just gotta hate. It’s their lives….hating.

casual fan going to go casual again this year?

No, it was a problem last year.

The idea that it was a majoe Dak-specific problem is not true.

He had a handful that were on him, but it was more a product of the crappy receiving corps and constantly throwing downfield when behind the sticks.

Just for the record, the Red-Zone problems are a Mike McCarthy issue, not a Dak Prescott issue. Dak hasn't had Red-Zone issues in the past. The offensive struggles are 100% on Mike McCarthy and Brian Schottenheimer.

I don;t disagree. Don't blame people concerned about it either. It was a startling statistic.

I think we'll learn alot about his progress form last year this next game. He doesn't have to be a super hero...though that would be SWEEET!

Just hold the fort, run the offense...help the defense crush them.

 

[rambo2]

LOL.

Against nobody while the defense is carrying the water for the team. And when they really needed him in Arizona, he folded like a cheap lawn chair.

The next 4 weeks will show us where he is at this point....at 30 years old in his 8th year.

He's still getting receivers laid out on the field. Amazing Ferguson wasn't seriously injured this week. Same for Lamb, Gallup, and Pollard previously.

Lol

We are fortunate that our defense and speacial teams have been scoring points. The offense is going to have to do better than kicking field goals in the readzone if we are going to do anything come palyoff time.

 

[RonnieT24]

It's almost like the Interception problem last year was made up all along.

Of course it was.. but look at all the clicks and views it created! "Dak is a turnover machine!" made some people millions of dollars. "Dak is one of the best in NFL history at protecting the ball" just doesn't sell as well. It is what it is. The minute he has a multi-turnover game the narrative will pick right up no matter how well he will have played up to that point. Why? Because it sells.. plain and simple.

The redzone issue is a mirage that is overblown.

Fortunate? We are fortunate because the team is very good and well coached.

 

[SpaceCowboy99]

Coach knows Dak's weakness. He is trying to force Dak to play bus driver and protect the ball with short throws. Thus he isn't having a rehash of last season.

However, his deep throws are still a mess, multiple times throws in double coverage. He has almost been intercepted multiple times a game, so he's on the lucky side right now.

And he sucks at not throwing it away. Taking sacks when he shouldn't.

I know you guys like to inflate Dak's ego but us real fans know what we have. A temporary bus driver that will never get us to the SB.

 

[jazzcat22]

How many did CJ have last season?

ZERO in the NFL.

I know. Its the offense that will have to start playing better. Leaving points off the board by kicking field goals and not scoring touchdowns will kill us come playoff time.

 

[lopey]

I think we open up
Offence more this week. MM opens playbook up in the red zone. We have to

 

[Captain-Crash]

nobody better be crying about being open and never seeing the ball. bam, you're gone.

 

[Swagger]

this is fair, but it's also not a judgement. it's a statement about him not turning the ball over frequently thus far.

I agree he has not turned over the ball frequently thus far. The reason(s) for that are important looking forwards.

 

[Swagger]

No because Dak has been throwing the ball a lot as well.

Has he been asked to throw the ball into tight windows on a regular basis and/or take risks throwing numerous deep balls or has he mainly been asked to make short very safe throws to protect a lead?

 

[Nova]

Guess the turnover narrative was stupid all along

I legit lol'd at this

It was always stupid. He has a lot of flaws, but he has never been a turnover prone QB.
