Dak's 3 turnovers signal a deeper problem with this QB

[Ken]

Nope.

Romo was actually good in the playoffs. 8 TD's 2 INT's and a 93 QB rating. If the rest of the team played as well as he did in the playoffs we would've advanced.

And no - Dak's career does not rival Tony's yet. He's got a long way to go to be the 11th highest-rated QB in NFL history.

really? You are making this post bc romo has one more career playoff win in a 12 year career?

Here is a newsflash for you...

Dak has 9 career playoff tds in 2 less games and is7th all time in qb rating

go back to poiishing Jethro's boots.

Nothing wrong with "poiishing" Jerry's boots

 

[Ken]

And what did he do with that team in the Playoffs?
Jethro, your secretary needs some training in reality.

He went toe to toe with one of the best qbs of all time.

 

[Ken]

When we go 1 and done in the playoffs directly because of a Dak turnover, I wonder what the excuses will be then.............eventually you run out of excuses.

More like....when we win in the playoffs....how will delusional Dak haters spin it to be in spite of him?

 

[Chuck 54]

In 11 years as the starting QB, Romo played in only 6 playoff games with a 2-4 record, never winning a game beyond the first round.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Yeah but this team has been getting sloppy lately and needs to tighten things up and be more disciplined holding on to the football.
It's kinda late now but Belichick would bench a player for fumbling and nobody knew when that guy would see the field. That should of happened to Noah Brown and Pendershot.

Totally agree.

Heck, bench Dak as well for a series whenever he throws into double/triple coverage that ends up in an interception.

No player should be above getting punished for committing a dumb and costly mistake.

 

[Chuck 54]

Also, “snake bit” means unlucky; that doesn’t even make sense with “not a leader.”

 

[America's Cowboy]

Against Jags 1 INT
Against Titans 2 INTs, one fumble

Total 3 INTs over 2 games
3 total turnovers against the great Titans.

Go cry in the crying room, Dooley.

Dumb. Dak was responsible for only 1 interception against the Titans. You don't even have your "facts" correct.

Mejor, callate la boca y vete a dormir.

 

[Jarv]

He only had 1 turnover

2 INTs and a fumble equal 3. Only a great play by Biadasz kept it from being 4 and us possibly losing the game.

 

[MajesticRey]

See, this is why you have no credibility, and why Dak fans have no credibility.
Dak had three turnovers last night. He was directly responsible for the fumble and at least one interception, and even his critics recognize that one may not really have been his fault.
But you can't handle honest critique of his play. You come on here after every game trying to justify his failures and don't care to twist the facts to try and spew Dak propaganda.
He had three turnovers, period. We watched the game, and we saw what happened.
Josh Gordon for Tennessee outplayed Dak with only eight days to meet his team and learn their offense. And he very nearly beat Dak. Except for some help from the refs, Dallas might well have lost.
And that kind of lack of accountability is why Dak is still not a franchise quarterback worth $40 million.

Wow! He had three turnovers, good job - you can count!

Let’s just stop there and not actually take into account what happened during the plays because obviously stats are the only thing important in an analysis.

Picks to a QB are like penalties to a team. Doesn't matter if they can overcome them.

Every year that the Raiders went to the Big Dance, they led the NFL in penalties and not just false starts, mostly contact penalties.

Every QB is going to have negative plays, can he overcome those with positive ones? With Prescott, I'd say he can so when he does throw a pick, his team doesn't sag like Carr's team did.

The Cowboys offense, to a man, knows he's going to keep coming. He's going to keep winging it. And that gives them the best chance to win the game. And that keeps them fired up.

There are two ways to look at it. From the pick viewpoint or what happens afterwards and how he responds. He does get that stunned look but only for a few minutes and it's not when he's on the field leading the offense. And his completion % after a pick is nothing short of impressive.

One thing to be considered, this is not a great route running group of receivers, they do not get the separation the Bengals or Dolphins receivers get and when Prescott first entered the league, he would have been reluctant to make those "NFL open" throws and was all about ball protection and keeping his job. Now, he is not that QB.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Oh wow, a new thread involving Dak! I'm so impressed!

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Maybe that all 14 of Carr's 14 Ints were bad decisions and not receivers clearly bobbling the ball into the defender's hands?

I don't know because I don't watch Raider's games.

But I do know about half of Dak's Ints should have been completions if the receiver did THEIR job.

Just sayin'

Such as the one to Hendershot. It was a perfect throw. Only Hendershot shouldve been able to get to that. Only, he mistakened it for a volleyball and served it to the Titans. And then the pick 6 against the Jaguars was on Noah Brown who did the same thing. Some of the interceptions were on Dak. However, if the NFL had a way to credit interceptions to WRs if the ball was reasonably thrown and bobbled by the WR, I think Dak would have much fewer interceptions. So, what do I make of it? The WRs need to catch the ball better. It's only the basic requirement for a WR.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Last I checked the buck has to stop at the feet of the man who claims to be the leader.
This is bad, even for you.

What's he supposed to do on the Hendershot pass? Hand the ball to him? Then again, Hendershot might drop that too.

 

[BoysForLife]

I apologize.
Joshua Dobbs.

The fact that half the people probably don't know the guys name strengthens your point

Guy was on the Lions PRACTICE squad a month ago. Facing a QB with a pulse, we probably lose last night

Observations are either subjective, objective or definitive.

Subjective observation - This one is close to my heart since I played the center position. Center/quarterback ball exchange requires two things from each player for every snap to be successful:

1. The quarterback must form both his hands, bottom of palms touching, into a 90 degree V shape, with (usually) the non-throwing hand situated under the crack of the center's butt parallel to the ground.
2. The center must hike (e.g. deliver) the ball where the quarterback's hands touch and not into his groin or butt. He is aiming the hand holding the ball slightly behind his butt, not into it.

If the ball hits the quarterback's hands where they meet and the ball drops to the ground, it is the quarterback's fault. If the ball hits the quarterback's fingertips or not at all, it's the center's fault. Tyler Biadasz barely hit Dak Prescott's fingers.

Conclusion: Center caused the fumble.

Objective observation - Virtually every quarterback/receiver connection is made of two components to be successful:

1. Quarterback must deliver a catchable pass
2. Receiver must catch a catchable ball

Prescott threw a completely catchable pass. Peyton Hendershot caught then juggled the ball and lost control of it.

Conclusion: Receiver caused the interception.

Definitive observation - Defenses' main goals are stopping offensive drives via:

1. Downs or
2. Turnovers

Quarterbacks must react-and-recognize almost instantly where defenders are positioned near their intended receiver. Any well-positioned defender can undercut a catchable pass.

Prescott's field-of-vision did not account for the Titans' Kevin Byard closely trailing Dalton Shultz quickly enough.

Conclusion: Quarterback directly contributed to the interception, although the defender must also be credited for making a great play.

Exactly, and, as for the first one, those things happen to every QB. On the second one, there's nothing Dak could've done about that. It was a well thrown ball. Hendershot has to catch that. The third one, nobody is denying that one being on Dak.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Thinking is for losers.

But I would toast the night away.
I'd even invite me annoying nekighbor and you and your dog to drink until dawn the go to the newstand and get souvenir Lombardini pages.
Whew!

That explains your posts

 

[GMO415]

No one cared that Stafford led the league in turnovers yet won a SB?

No one cares that Allen has 13 INTs?

Mahomes had years with the same amount of INTs yet it's never mentioned?

It's only a problem with Dak. Bottom line, this team can overcome adversity. Let's ride!

 

[DallasEast]

True but it must be continually pointed out since some observers automatically state the quarterback messes up the exchange no matter what actually happens.

Right again but a review of the thread up to this point demonstrates some members think otherwise.

The third one, nobody is denying that one being on Dak.

You are batting a thousand but this thread was created on the pretense of him causing three turnovers, not just one, right?

Well, according to the OP "thinking is for losers". Need I say more?
