Dak has to admit to himself that he chokes when he is under pressure. He has to work on focusing on being as good when the pressure is on as he is when everything is going great.
When he came into the league he was gifted the best offensive line in football, Ezekiel Elliott,and a weak schedule. The Cowboys rolled through the regular season and the Cowboys were the number one seed entering the playoffs, where they ran into Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.
The very next season,and every season since then, Dak has sat out the preseason,treated as if he was a seasoned veteran with championships under his belt.
Dak has never been forced to earn his position. This is why he chokes when he's put in high pressure situations.
Dak is great when everything is easy. It's when he has to lead the team into hostile territory that he suddenly develops a weak arm and confidence issues.
If the Cowboys hope to ever be more than kings of the .500 teams, Dak has to be put in pressure situations and made to produce.
Garrett was so desperate to believe that Dak would finally justify him that he petted Dak rather than teach him.
This is where the Cowboys are; a team led by a $60 million quarterback with no real experience in pressure situations.
Even though it's late, he could still be taught.
If the Cowboys believed in Dak their defense would suddenly improve.
