Twitter: Dak wasn't the problem Sunday, it was the defense

[kskboys]

Today would be a great time for these guys to prove it. But again, they need help in this team game. It takes everyone.

You can never judge any player if the entire D is a clusterfudge.

 

[kskboys]

Our dbs are extremely questionable as are our linebackers. It's Downs surrounded by jags until proven otherwise.

Downs and Thompson.

Dak isn't without blame. But those defense rankings were fools gold. Look no further than the playoffs. That wasn't the QB.

Nope.

The 49ers playoff game.

The defense gave up 19 points.

Dak threw 2 stupid boneheaded nervous Nelly picks.

His offense could only muster 12 measly points.

How can one not wrap their head around that?

It’s really not that hard.

He had a bad game.

That's the truth.But when have we actually had a defense that we could lean on because they were dominant? Not even under Parcels. It was when we had our last SB run in 1995-96. We got spoiled when we had Aikman. He was that good in the clutch. Dak is no Troy but shouldn't have to be. He's definitely not blameless as you rightly pointed out. That said, it would be nice to win a big game despite the QB making mistakes. We rely too much on the QB being nearly perfect. That's a recipe for losing.

 

[Rayman70]

Downs and Thompson.

Safeties. Bland stinks since his injuries. The other corner is a huge concern too.

 

[Rayman70]

In this passing league if you don't even have 1 very good corner, you ain't scheming your way very far defensively. You might get away with it at times but that's all.

 

[Rayman70]

We need 2 starters at CB and we need 2 good linebackers, of which , we currently have zero of either. Until we see it.

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

0-1

Not dak , never dak .

Nobody thinks he has to be perfect.

I think one of his worse traits is reluctance to throw the ball out of bounds. Good QBs know when it's necessary.

normally Dak does throw it away. That time(last week) he got greedy.

Need Dak to play well today. He needs to rise above and help this team off to fast starts. The deer in headlights look really needs to disappear. He’s been in the league long enough to see it all. I don’t get why he still gets that’s look. Why does he consistently play down to the competition. It’s beyond frustrating to watch.

You could be right, now that I think about it.

One game ...a couple years ago?,,,sorry can't remember!...very late in the game he did throw out of bounds...which stopped the clock and gave the ball to the other team. They then won the game.

DOH!

Then he had "The Slide" to end the game.

I do NOT expect him and the offense to play perfectly. But sometimes he has the goofiest errors at the worst times.

Not sure what's actually going through his head...but typically...that look is "dazed and confused". Like he's "blocking out the noise".

true. The Dak Deer in headlights stuff comes at terrible times.

100%
Need that guy who can be left on a island, and roll safety help to TE and other side wr.

Then pass rush can get there.....then turnovers multiply

It feeds itself

 

[Rayman70]

I will say this, last week I didn't like the look I saw in Daks eyes. He had the dreaded look I mentioned in another comment above.

exactly. We have nobody. We have a rookie safety that we think might can play some corner at times. Lord are we dumb in the scouting dept.

Is this for the future QB for Dallas. Hopefully soon.
