...was ON ONE today. They broke this whole Dak thing down perfectly. Even brought up Geno Smith to prove what a new voice can do to someone's career later on (because Geno NEVER looked like he did this year). I'm glad I'm not hearing ANY of the Non-Mickey Spagnola guys trying to sugarcoat the entire situation. If you haven't listened, they said what quite a few on hear have said - HE NEEDS TO BE MADE UNCOMFORTABLE!!!!! He needs a REAL COACH in his ear, not a buddy. He's been emboldened by the Jones' to make HIM believe he's better than he actually is. And, what I'm hearing from quite a few of the Cowboys Media is that they're "tired of the show" now.

Look at his scouting report and tell me most of these same issues arent the same 7 years later…

Weaknesses
  • Beat up this year thanks to poor protection
  • When he wasn't being sacked, he was being hit hard
  • Not as competitive a rusher in 2015
  • Sacks and usage in run game might be taking a toll
  • Increase in short pass attempts from 86 to 208 this year reason for higher completion numbers
  • Accuracy on intermediate and deep throws dropped sharply
  • Pocket poise has been compromised
  • Hyper aware of pressure around him and lacks awareness to slide and find temporary shelter to make throw
  • Concern over pressure too often trumps ability to get through progressions
  • Must speed up the pace of his reads
  • Footwork is a mess
  • Slight stride onto stiff upper leg with little weight shift
  • Restricted follow through and too often tries to muscle throws with upper body
  • Throws to target rather than leading or throwing them open on short/intermediate throws
  • Too respectful of underneath coverage and must be more willing to challenge the defense
  • Needs to improve anticipation

its the club atmosphere of the Cowboys Jerry has created. everyone who is marketable is chummy with Jones and they get the contracts and support of the GM.

Oh, I didn't post that like I'm not ready to ship him out. Speaking realistically though, it's gonna be hard financially to cut or trade him. So, he's more than likely gonna be around next year. So, they need to figure out something to make at least next year relatively successful.

Local media still kissing Dak behind. Go find JJT latest article.

Dak has been coddled and protected from competition his entire NFL career.

Me. Or someone else that doesn't matter LOL.

Like it or not, we got Dak for at least 2 more years. I suggest they try to build a team that can win while he's here. Then move on. I think 9 years would be enough. But if I had to bet on this, they extend him after next year. But either way, he's here the next 2 years.

Completely Agree that Dak needs competition.
However, the Jones' gave him the big contract.
1) Jerry will confirm, in his Jerry way that Dak is the #1
2) Jerry will not challenge his #1 QB OR rather, his decision to give Dak the big contract.
3) The only way Dak will be challenged is if he gets, GOD forbid, hurt, and the "Backup" ends up taking us deep into the playoffs.
Jerry's ego ends up protected by the unfortunate Dak injury and the rise of a new QB.

He can start as a QB coach but the OC and esp HC have to people with some experience
