It's not stats, it's not scheme, and it's not totally coaching. Teams attack the Cowboys differently than other teams because they know Dak's limitations. He telegraphs his throws with his wind up. In the NFL, that split second added to your delivery can kill you. He has zero touch on his passes. See that last pass by Watson? A soft accurate floater my little sister could catch. Dak would rifle that pass, probably over the receivers head. Once he starts getting pressured, he starts dancing. He never ever, for any reason, ever steps up in the pocket. He looks to break containment. Almost all his catch-able passes to the sideline yesterday were low, ankle shots. He never hits people in stride. It's all comeback routes where the receiver is hardly moving and he can aim his throw. Even his quick passes behind the line of scrimmage are low and short. He is what he is. His game management may have improved slightly in the last 2 years, but that's it. That tired excuse of what about 2016 doesn't fly anymore. RG3 had a rookie of the year first season to.
When behind center, looks at a blitzer and yells a bunch of nonsense, but nobody picks that guy up. Whats he saying? Is he changing the play? If he is, why does he then hold the ball forever? What most people see as bad coaching, can also be seen as they are desperately trying to hide Dak's flaws, his tendencies. What really sucks is with just above average QB play, the Cowboys probably win that game last night.
If it's all coaching, you can bet the house, the next coach they bring in will be looking to replace Dak, or he wont take the job.
Dak is a great backup. That's his future.
