Is Dak unpopular because it is now a passing league?

[DakBringMeBack]

If our staff and system let him throw the ball he would put up huge numbers. He always has a huge half and then they take a foot off the gas and sit on a lead. Its stupid

 

[Philmonroe]

I see we have some robe wearers trying to think up any excuse of Daks success.

Where the proof of that at liar? Dak is soo avg nobody has to make up reasons esp your lazy poker reasons for his average play. Stop being stuck on 2016.

 

[zrinkill]

Stop being stuck on 2016.

Stop being stuck up your own Bum

We are a run first team, that is the offensive philosophy. It is to line up and smash through with the run to setup the pass. Running the ball, control the ball and the clock and grind it out. That is the basic idea of this offense. I'm not sure what a pass happy league has to do when you base your entire offensive philosophy on being a run first team. Also how does hating the QB for not passing more when he is operating a run first offense make sense?

Its against the rules to talk about why he is really unpopular with a certain group of Dak haters

Pointing out that he is a below average passer this season with the evidence of just about every passing statistic out there is against the rules?

speedkilz88...those are some killer stats laid upon the table

Funny thing about 'long' passes...the 18 yard route germane to Michael Irvin, is a top route now run by Cooper, and Prescott handles that well now also.

New Orleans has some sick speed, but they won't over power the Cowboys.

Dallas now has some speed as well...and Austin should be added to the mix, very shortly.

Also, the Dallas secondary is now built to handle receiver speed as well...

Least passing TDs for a QBs with at least 11 starts this season:

Dak Prescott & Case Keenum tied for last with 13.

It’s now a passing league, high flying league. It’s not “sexy” to run the ball. Smash mouth football is dying and the NFL set-up the game with new rules for Fantasy Footballers / Fan Duelers to make it exciting to throw for 500 yards a game and end up with a final score of 54-51.

The new generation of football fans don’t understand the advantage of a power run offense and controlling the clock. So, Dak isn’t popular because he’s not a gunslinger. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, fans these days just want to see long bomb throws all day and don’t care if they go 0-16 while doing it.

Dak is unpopular because
- he struggles to throw receivers open
- he struggles on timing routes
- he struggles on deep throws
- he struggles to go through progressions quickly
- he struggles to look off coverage
- he struggles to see the mismatch presnap
- he struggles to maintain pocket poise

All of these things are true despite his other good qualities and stats.

But he's a nice guy so the no 1 Sports franchise in the world should suck it up and embrace mediocrity......as Dak is worth it .....why....ask the Dak-Zoids...

 

[Super_Kazuya]

These True Dak Facts are pure comedy gold, although I can’t imagine they can go on much longer manipulating just QB Winz and completion percentage. I’m sure Goff has just under the arbitrary 1200 attempts cherry picked out of the air...

 

[TheDude]

Yes your opinion is.

Wow, the "I know you are but what am I retort" - your full mental prowess is on display. Makes the original unlettered point understandable

Funny thing, pick any quarterback one chooses, and he can dig up enough film to support everyone of the complaints above...fact.

As John Adams said, “Facts are stubborn things...”

 

[roughneck266]

He is unpopular because his coaches are living in the past and can't game plan to his strengths.

My thoughts as well. It doesn't get said very often, but Dak DOES have strengths, and we do not use them.

Shouldn't a soon to be franchise QB strength have something to do with throwing the ball?

Dak is unpopular because he isn’t accurate and holds the ball too long.

 

[kskboys]

Like I said before ...... not allowed to talk about the real reasons and the evidence ......... so piss off and go imagine a world where the QB's look like you want them to.

Then quit talking about it.

 

[zrinkill]

Then quit talking about it.

Take your own advice.

And stick it.
