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

[CTcowboy203]

Yes, I do have an agenda and it’s possible my agrees agenda with the reality of the situation. I’ve said this many times on the forum and I’ve also said YEARS AGO that both Witten and Jimmy Johnson said he’s an early read QB.

I’m not going to lose any sleep over your assessment of me, but I can assure you that many posters on this forum will attest to what I’ve been saying for years and with evidence ti back it up.

And the evidence once again is clear. Dak can’t throw against a zone, he’s an early read QB as demonstrated last night. The fact is the pre-snap usage going up attests to this point of making it easier for Dak to know where he’s going.

“Attest to what I’ve been saying for years”….quotes Chris Collins worth. Lol.

Accurate assessment of yesterday.

He absolutely choked in the 1st half, and sped himself up unnecessarily when the 1st read wasn't there.

The pick-6 was beyond atrocious and then he was nearly picked in the endzone right before the half as well. That would've been his 3rd INT.

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.

It's gonna be a interesting offseason that's for certaint

 

[Momanpr100]

So are we guessing 88 was the player who said it? It would make sense if it was him considering how yesterday started.

I wonder if it's a o-line man

The way the defense played yesterday there’s not many qb’s who are winning that game regardless of their issues. I say this knowing dak sucked

We can totally blame the defense but when defense has to play catch up because their QB choke and threw interceptions. Even they gave up the first score. Dak can't do anything. If it is a better QB, then he can and will put the score on the board and show the opposite defense that he is not scared their formation. But sadly, our QB is a lousy one.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

OK we will go with that but then we can say he got that one back at the GB goal line when the 3rd interception he threw was dropped by the GB defender when it hit him right in his hands!!

not really because in most games there are dropped INTs. Love was damn near perfect yesterday so rare there were no chances for us. He pulled some Favre **** yesterday, off back foot, not knowing where going etc

 

[kskboys]

Yup. We already knew this.

Hades, a few 1st downs and no TO's and we're still in the game.

 

[kskboys]

Right. Ferg was open on a corner route, clean pocket, Dak scrambled instead of throwing to the next (open) read. CeeDee was open on a corner route on the INT when Cooks was mugged, again, clean pocket just go to the next progression and deliver the pass.

Gotta have good field vision to do that.

The score was 7-0 before dak even touched the ball lol….explain how the defense was playing catch up bc of dak again?

 

[Momanpr100]

Yes, I trust what my eyes tell me. Like the look Dak gives when he is rattled. The defense however set the tone for the beating the boys took last nite. It appeared like it was over before it started? They were as bad as it gets.

Yea Dak gets wide eyed.

 

[kskboys]

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.

Ahem. Kirk Cousins. Carson Wentz was 2nd and would've been first if not for injury.

Easy. Pick 6.

 

[CTcowboy203]

Easy. Pick 6.

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

 

[BoysForLife]

No…. They had Dak bail the pocket early when his early reads were not there. Breaking pocket and making a play on the fly is not “going through reads”.. this was how they simplified the offense for Dak.

This reminds me of what Donte Whitner said after the SF game in his Dak sucks rant.

That they basically dumbed down the offense because of his difficulty going through his progressions and a disciplined team who's solid on the backside of the defense is going to expose him badly and he'll fold

 

[calicowboy54]

We have been saying this for years
his issue is between his ears and it is not fixable.

i think it’s fixable he’s done it in other games. it’s more that when the pressure of a big game is there it’s like his eggs get scrambled. i think he needs a psychologist to work on why he’s freaking out.

 

[Darkhound]

I will say this over an over and over untll all the fanatic here wake up

DARK WAS, IS AND ALWYAS will be an A-V-E-R-A-G-E QB
What is average?
Some highs and some lows.... but average most of the time.

I TOLD YOU he would choke.

 

[Northern_Cowboy]

Correct..but that doesn't mean it shouldn't have been a pick...it just means that Dak got lucky on that play and got away with one after making a terrible throw

 

[JustChip]

8 years is enough. Look at Houston and GB rookies with W’s

Also D has been poor the last month that last Lions drive showed the cracks

And Seattle before that.

 

[BoysForLife]

It was bad though. Should've been a relatively easy INT.

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?
