Let me preface this by saying, I don't think we should have signed Dak to a franchise contract.For those interested in good reading and an education on Dak and what Moore failed todo, give it a read. Since play action and 3rd and long were two big issues for the offense its not hard to also surmise that the run game failures were also a problem as was the Oline blocking. Both in the run and the pass.

But if you prefer hard evidence, the statistics suggest that Prescott is best at play-action and deep shots. He’s been in the top five of all quarterbacks in passer rating on play-action attempts for all but one of his years in the NFL. Prescott has also ranked in the top 10 of quarterbacks in passer rating on throws that travel 20 yards or more in every year of his career thus far.
Similarly, Prescott attempted a pass over 20 yards downfield on just 10.8% of his passes. That ranks astonishingly low in the league, 23rd among qualifying quarterbacks. That’s fewer deep shots than Jacoby Brissett, Geno Smith, and rookies Kenny Pickett and Brock Purdy. Not only did the Cowboys limit their deep shot passing game, they were living for the short game, targeting hitch routes at the fourth highest rate of any offense in 2022.
Much of the blame has been laid at the feet of Prescott, and unfairly so. Prescott has proven time and again that he’s an extremely gifted quarterback, but the Cowboys - and, more specifically, Moore - failed him this season.
But I know we live in the real world and Jerry put the team where they had to do it because he was not ready to trade or let him walk.
Next years cap hit is huge, probably third in the league.
Dak is a good QB, if he was on the Niners they probably win the SB, but that is because Shanahan is a great offensive mind. I am sure Dak does well with the Rams. He is good enough to win but he is not gifted like the elite guys and its not an insult. It is just a fact.
He is apparently a really good student of the game, great at the line of scrimmage, changing plays, protections, etc but he is also a bit inaccurate and just is not elite. He is honestly a bit better than Kirk.
Moore on the other hand is good at drawing up plays in his parents basement but doesnt know how to call a game. Maybe that is because of the lack of weapons, or the FO continuing to feed Zeke. The team is obviously very predictable. The zone read running game is terrible. Nothing wrong with i formation, or Shanahan running stye.
I am very sure Moore will look amazing next year with Herbert, as the QB is a generational talent.
I think Dallas again underwhelmed a little but with Brian S ( not trying to spell). It will bring a fresh take, and I want Big Mike to earn his paycheck.
He called plays in GB lets see what he can do. If the Cowboys upgrade the weapons we should be better, if its the usual we like our guys then see you all same time same place.
