Limp along with a 226 yard passer if you want. I believe he can step up the quality of his play.

And I think we can step up the quality of the play calling. Oh by the way that's exactly what we did. You're confusing his quality of play with how many yards he actually gets. That's your problem. I believe we had 512 passing plays, the 500 running plays. That's called balance. How many yards you think you're going to get when your receivers keep running button hooks. Come on it's the play-calling and if you don't believe that and is no worth talking to you

Or... instead of arguing like idiots, we can agree both areas need improvement. : )

I can't wait to watch them kick some Giant *** on Sunday.

221yds, 10th worst in the league regular season, and no - not much difference from 200 and certainly not much difference from his career average of 226.

You're splitting hairs son, move along now.

Instead of looking at team stats, try looking up Dak Prescott 3,885 and then divide by 16

There you go. LOL

From the first snap into the last snap. Everything in between is called football, 1st quarter 2nd quarter 3rd quarter. Come the fourth quarter I end up eating my words and I don't like it. LOL when the pressure is on the kid is at his best and he's proved it time and time again. I want them to use the passing game to open up the running game this season. The kid is capable go Cowboys

Not to drop a turd in the punch bowl, but the “improvement” at OC has yet to be seen in the regular season.

Just sayin’...

I hear that and was very hesitant in hiring someone unproven but sheesh Linehan had become a liability. I could be dead wrong but I dont see how this kid could be worse at least there is no tape on his tendencies while calling a game . He may catch some DCs off guard with some less predictable stuff then the same old crap linehan ran forever

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

There's always room for improvement I don't care who the player is. But you're not asking for improvement and the quality of the player cuz you're asking for 300-plus yards and that's a scheme

It can’t be that simply. The Seahawks for example ran waaay more than the Cowboys and yet Russell Wilson is a much more efficient and productive passer than Dak.

Still don't agree with the point. If you're not calling medium deep routes, for your receivers you're not going to get those yards. Make no mistake about it it was a scheme. Not an inability. Ravens Giants Jacksonville. We called a different game and we had different results

Um no, you have to take into account a QB is going to play to his comfort level and ability. If you think the cowboys are simply running short routes that’s misguided. We all remember the numerous missed deep connections between Dak and Gallup last year (regardless of whom you want to blame for them). The point is they were throwing the ball deep. You have to factor in how the QB reads the defense, understands the coverage scheme, and can throw with anticipation.

You aren’t looking at Dak’s passing yardage, you are looking at team net passing yardage, which is adjusted for sacks etc. Look at Dak’s personal stats and you will see 3885 and 243 yards per game.

I totally disagree but that's okay. Watch him & Gallup this season. Prescott actually has a decent deep ball is that average is pretty good. For me actually it's his intermediate pass. Over the linebacker before the corner. But again the scheme guy is gone for a reason. Blame everybody but . Anticipation. That has nothing to do with the yardage. That could be any receiver on the field. Yeah I'd like to see an improvement there also. But we talkin strictly yardage there's a reason why we only get 245 a game. And it's not just because of Prescott. Make no mistake about that

Again, hairs being split, points being lost, 226 career avg using your stat of choice... not good enough.... next!

How on the world is an average of 243 yards per game and LESS THAN 200 yards per game splitting hairs? That’s a huge difference. And the question was about accuracy in the information you used, not whether Dak’s average is “good enough”. I said from my first post in this exchange he needs to improve, while you have simply scrambled to justify using blatantly false information.

Great video really hoping Dak lights it up this year!

If you can’t (or struggle) at creating throwing windows with anticipation you’re limiting your ability to move the ball through the air. Am I saying Dak is devoid of anticipation? No. Is he a proficient at passing as some of the top QBs? No.

Whatever dude, re-read the posts, try and wrap your brain around what was being said (if you really are misunderstanding it) I'm not wasting any more time with you.

Lol, you specifically said Dak throws for less than 200 yards again, when told that info was wrong, you said, okay, it’s really 221 yards per game, but that’s an inconsequential difference, and then when told the 221 was wrong and it was really 243, you just pretended you weren’t really spouting false numbers even though you were.

All you would have had to have done early on was accept the indisputable and verifiable fact that you underestimated Dak’s yardage numbers and this would have died, but instead it was more important to you to stumble around trying to pretend you hadn’t. We all make mistakes, and most people are happy to accept it as long as people admit it.

Nobody's as bad as me lol I can't remember. Just too many games too many numbers too many players. So I usually say correct me if I'm wrong LOL but you're right some people just can't admit it

We all make mistakes occasionally when we go off memory or general impressions. We admit our mistake when we see them and then continue the discussion based on the facts - or at least we should.
