Jane Slater: Player has concern that Dak panics when 1st read not there

[kskboys]

The score was 20-0 on the pick 6 lol….no one is gonna sit here and say dak was good yesterday but this revisionist history on the game is laughable. The loss is nowhere near on dak and only dak and they most certainly weren’t playing from behind because of dak yesterday

Revisionist? Man, you really need to work on your semantics. Weak stuff, dude.

Now the bolded, that is revisionist history. Dak handed them 2 TD's and didn't score til late in the 2nd, but noooooooooooo, it can't be on him!!!!

 

[gmb1]

CD I see why you were upset yesterday

He knows Dak is a bum

 

[PAPPYDOG]

He knows Dak is a bum

He can't say it publicly but trust me his inner circle is tired of hearing him complain about the Dakster!

Exactly. But you've been saying this for years.

 

[raven55]

i like the saying HERE WE GO make to the bench and tell him he will be a backup to lance he will hot foot it into jerry's office and ask to be traded

 

[kramskoi]

Also not sold on the "first read" stuff. Can a guy that can't read defenses lead the NFL in TD passes by accident?

Dak sucked yesterday but so did the scheme. Green Bay took Lamb away and all McCarthy tried to do after that was force it to him. Somewhere the Packers coaches are watching this film and laughing their butts off right now.

Because he is NOT a "one read" quarterback. People saying that simply don't watch the All-22 breakdowns. However, and I said this around mid-season, the excessive focus on feeding Lamb could ultimately prove detrimental for the overall offense. If a DC wants to take a player away, there are ways to do that. IMO, Lamb seemed to let himself get bullied in the first quarter of the game. You could say that McCarthy tried to remain focused on Lamb but the quarterback ultimately throws the football...or doesn't throw it. Can't get around that. At some point the players have to take responsibility for their choices.

Before the pick 6 he threw interception #1 and gave them good field position.

Besides that he couldn't freaking score.

He almost threw 2 other interceptions.

You guys keep defending him, how much evidence do we need to show you that he is not the answer. He is a born mediocre QB.

The only thing left we can do is come back here after he is done in this league and write a big told ya so to fans like you.

You're not wrong but what gives?

Being politely honest you were one of the primary (and frankly most genuinely annoying) pro Dak flame throwers pretty much all year.

Have to admit I'm trying to figure out this about face on your end. What's the story here?

I'm realistic and always have been.

Dak's a very good QB, so I'll defend him when people try to say "he sucks" or "he's average". All-Pro QBs don't grow on trees. He was outstanding in the regular season.

Dak also played like total garbage Sunday vs the Packers, for the 1st half at least. Him and the defense took turns blowing it, until the deficit got too big to overcome. He was much better in the 2nd half but his early mistakes were killer and he's as much to blame for the loss as anyone.

Both points can be true, and both points are true.

 

[Nav22]

Yesterday was not a one time deal. For anybody to expect more out of him would be ignoring his play since day one. He has never been able to read a defense and he still has poor pocket presence.

#2 in Total QBR, #2 in NFL MVP odds, NFL-high 36 TD and 9 INT.

You don't have to lie and exaggerate to make your point. He was outstanding in the regular season and terrible Sunday vs the Packers.

 

[Nav22]

That about sums things up. You mean the pick Dak almost threw that was negated by offsides? No. A different pick that Dak almost threw in the end zone that would have counted.

To be fair though, he knew the offsides one was a "free play."

 

[Beast_from_East]

Well, he does.

Everyone sees it.

Yeah, this is not exactly breaking news here by Slater.

Dak had 5 offensive series in the first half
He muffed the first one because GB took away Lamb and he can't get past his first read
He got picked on the second because he panicked and forced the ball short rather than to the open receiver deep
He muffed the third series because GB took away his check down and he ran away from his receivers into a sack (and out of FG range)
He got picked (for 6) on the fourth because he misread the coverage and didn't execute his progression inside read
He nearly fluffed the fifth - first by nearly giving another pick in the EndZone that was stone cold dropped by the CB, next by passing it short of the goal line and nearly running out of time. Luckily a penalty flag gave him another two opportunities and he finally made a 5 yard pass.

Those blaming anything or anyone more than Dak need a head shrink.

100% we win that game with just about any other QB. Romo wins it, Mahomes wins it, Purdy.. heck all of them.

Lamb was never open. Packers had him bracketed all game long. Cooks was open for the first down. I know it was a quick slant but all Dak had to do was wait a split second. Like I said his internal clock goes wild in pressure situations.

He was on that play on the cooks int. Had he waited cee dee was getting open

No QB wins that game with Receivers not getting open, no real running game and a Defense that gave up 48 Points early into the 4th quarter.

You needed to score 50 or more to win that game with the way the Defense played and we had scored 16 early into the 4th when the Packers stopped playing and put all reserves in.

This game was not winnable even if Dak and the Offense played a near flawless game and the Packers Defense would have shifted into another gear if needed.

Disagree entirely. Defence DID NOT give up 48 points ffs.

13 of those points are directly on Dak. Directly.

And this is a defence that is built to stop the pass.. and to get turnovers. MUCH harder to do that when your offence is laying an egg.

The TOP are important too with our defence.. they were gassed after spending the whole first quarter out there. They dropped their heads after seeing the offence fail, for sure.

Can 10000000% tell you that an elite QB changes that game massively.

 

[nate dizzle]

Sorry, it was a PI. I don't care what Dean Blandino had to say on it. You can't hold a wr through his break and then push him back to get leverage.

But have fun screaming 2 PICKS...OMG

It was a pick and Cooks was driving on the ball so the idea he didn't fight for it is just a pile of BS you guys are making up to remove any fault from Dak. It was a weak-armed off target throw because Dak had the jitters and the jelly arms.

If you can’t see that Dak’s stats are misleading, then you are delusional. Three years in a row, Dak has been exposed in playoff games. Since you are a stats fan, how much did those stats matter against GB? Dak really had nice stats the last six minutes of the game. The Cowboys took beatdowns from the 49ers, Cards, Bills, etc and in all of those games Dak was ineffective at best. The blueprint for rattling Dak is simple, make Dak beat you and you will win. How many more embarrassing playoff games do you have to see before you wise up?

The excuses have no end.
