The team record on the ultimate team sport is utterly ridiculous in blaming 1 person. So what was your opinion of him when he went 13 and 3?
I said then that it was an illusion. I told everyone that if Dak had to start in Cleveland he would already be out of the league by now.
Dak had the best offensive line in football, the best running back in the game, and he was never pressured.
Anybody can stand behind a brick wall and calmly decide who to throw to and have success.
But even then you could tell he would get rattled if he was pressured and he became erratic with his passes.
He's an outstanding athlete, but not much of a leader as far as quarterbacks go.
He had a rookie year that veterans can only dream of, getting to play behind the best offensive line in the game.
But Garrett was so desperate to believe that Prescott would be the guy who could justify his futility as a head coach, he coddled him and the next season wouldn't even play Dak in preseason unless the entire line was in the game.
So, Dak was never exposed until later in the second year, and he has gotten considerably worse as the years wore on and teams understood how to beat him.
Last year he was the reason that the Cowboys didn't make the playoffs, choking against the Eagles when they were basically playing all backups.
