Twitter: Dak rank 32nd (worst) first down passing percentage on 3rd down

[Beaker42]

We've also probably had the longest avg. 3rd downs in the league. I can't count how many times we've had 3rd down & 12+.

Yeah, thanks to a Tyron or Feet of Shale La’el holding penalty.

What exactly is your point?

What do you mean what's my point? I was replying to another posts post. If Dak is throwing under pressure 40% of the time what does that mean to you?

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I said in todays NFL. Aikman would throw a ton of yards in this NFL.

If Aikman ran this same offense?He wouldn't. Which is the problem. This offense is outdated and isn't meant to put up tough yards. Factor in the defense doesn't get turnovers....and this is your result.

The first one kind of goes against Dak (2nd one too somewhat if you understand context). It means the team is one of the worst at being able to overcome penalties.

That he is not reading the defense well, not decisive, holds the ball too long and too often moves into pressure.

So false starts and offensive penalties are Dak's fault?

Look I'm not going to sit here and pretend like I'm high on Dak right now because I'm not. But I'm not gonna unfairly criticize him. I can criticize him for inaccurate throws and terrible pocket presence and bad footwork at times......but I'm not blaming him for poor coaching and dumb penalties.

Yikes, that's the money down for QBs. Not looking good for Dak's future.

So is that what is Deshaun Watson and Kirk Cousins problems are too? Or is that only for Dak? Asking for a friend..........

I apologize I should’ve read the whole thread. It means to me that the offensive woes are not all Dak’s fault which many of us have been saying.

Please...reading comprehension.

I think the minute they traded a 1st rounder for Amare Cooper pretty much assures that either Dak is here this year and next....or Mike White or Rush are the future.

He has no time to read the defenses and can’t trust his receivers to be open. He’s been holding the ball to long hoping they will. Have you been watching the games? He hardly ever has a clean pocket.

I asked you a question. Are you going to answer it?

Exactly. But now its Dak's fault he can't block for himself or coach himself. Dak is surrounded by incompetence and people wonder why he's struggling........incompetence from the top down.

No. At least not completely. I haven't watched them as much, but their lines are not as good.

People love to bring up Romo but Romo also held the ball a long time to try and make something from the nothing playbook. Romo's biggest plays came from him improvising which is exactly what Dak tries to do. Its the only way you can even run this offense. Its why pocket passers like Brandon Weeden and Matt Cassell struggled in it.

This line being good is a myth at this point. Is it good enough to win with? I'd like to think so. But its been underachieving in pass blocking and run blocking.

You asked a dumb question because you can't read. I am not blaming Dak for penalties. That stat wasn't about the number of penalties, it was about the ability to overcome them. The Cowboys do so at the worst rate in the league. That doesn't make the QB look good.

It looks worse than it is sometimes because of the QB.
