I know its hard to believe, but i really do think dak will improve. He seemed like something was wrong this year meantally.
He has a lot to improve on with his mechanics, pocket presence and his ability to hhandle pressure, but the head coach did nothing to compensate for the OL issues. No quick passing, nothing.Just say Dak doesn’t have any accuracy problems would be ludicrous. Of course he does. There is, however, one key factor that people seem to be conveniently ignoring from the 2017 season.
Games 1-8
163 of 247 (65.9%) for 181 yards; 16 TD, 4 int.; 7.36 YPA, QBR = 102:5
Games 9-16
155 of 235 (65.4%) for 1506 yards; 6 TD, 9 int.; 6.4 YPA, QBR = 76.3
What happened in game #9 that significantly impacted the remainder of the season? That was the first games of Elliot’s suspension, and more important, the beginning of Tyron Smoth’s Injury woes. That’s when we saw a total breakdown in pass protect for the rest of the season. Dak was sacked 22 times in the last 8 games, compared to only 10 in the first 8.
In other words, Dak was under constant, tremendous pressure once Tyron was injured, and the offensive line woes began, and it showed. He was forced to hurry throws constantly, which had a definite impact on his footwork and accuracy. Give him protection like he received those first eight games, and you’ll see his accuracy “miraculously” improve. It’s still won’t be perfect, but he will not look like the same quarterback we saw the last eight games of 2017.

Funny thing people don't even know that many good qb's that have done such but really think Dak can do it? Honestly accuracy seems to be a you have it or not thing and Dak doesn't have it. To be a great QB you need it but folks are so emotionally blind. This is crazy but some of the passes Foles made have we ever saw Dak make those throws from the pocket? You saw a retired QB make this guy look stupid accuracy wise.Not something you can learn at this age
David Carr dominates Dak Prescott in a passing competiton
And you asked why Dak insisted playing in our last game vrs the Eagles??? Here's why down below.....now you tell me who looks more like a NFL QB???
Damn you turned on Dak too?Once the Giants draft Rosen, he might be the 6th best QB in the division.
Rosen, Eli, Smith, Foles, Wentz all better than him.

Last few games were despicable.Damn you turned on Dak too?

Don't like how his mess has ended up in Dez's backyard.

Youll switch to the dark side soon enoughDamn you turned on Dak too?
Per interview, Dak states that accuracy is ONE of the areas he will work on next year.
Go cowboys!
Possible. After week 1 I’ll know what I need to know about him.Youll switch to the dark side soon enough
