VALID reasons are not excuses,

casual fans need to understand the differences and like 2022 we saw these types of things and add in poor route tress, poor route running, lack of separation and now no run game at all.. Daks not regressed hes playing frustrated and most of his issues are NOT HIM!!

Jerry is the one keeping Dak from running with the football. Guarantee Jerry put it in the new contract extension. Jerry is protecting his league record new contract player because keeping Dak healthy (whether it helps or hurts the team) keeps the stadium seats sold out and majority of fans interested in watching Dak and the Cowboys.

Media representatives should immediately begin questioning both Jerry Jones and Dak Prescott if there is even an ounce of validity for this assumption. This is football. Inserting specific contractual language stating a player shall purposefully refrain from scrambling with the ball is a huge leap in logic. Scenario:

The defense collapses the pocket. The quarterback has a clear, open running lane directly in front of him. The quarterback sees zero defenders within 15 yards of the other side of the line of scrimmage. In this scenario where there is no open receiver to throw to, the quarterback would be contractually obligated to either: a) take the sack; or b) fall down.​

I am a big critic of Jones' qualifications as a general manager. The man tried to hog-tie a weed head, Randy Gregory, with a contractual 'behavioral' clause (link) that would void the agreement if he were fined and/or suspended by the league. The smart strategy would have been not trying to re-sign Gregory. The idiotic tactic was attempting to rope Gregory into an employee agreement he would never agree to.

This assumption would top even that nonsense. Essentially, it directs the player to not make a play if a potential play presents itself during any unforeseen moment of a game.

Could Jones (or Prescott for that matter) scheme up something so ludicrous in order to decrease the odds of his starting quarterback suffering an injury while scrambling? Sure. Jones is football stupid but is he football illiterate?

I hear you, DE. I was just assuming, but I would not be surprised if Jerry has told Dak to not run with the football. FYI, if true, I doubt Jerry would ever admit to something like this.

Well, there is a difference between a verbal directive and a contractual mandate.

Someone mentioned Robert Prince a few threads earlier . Exactly right . The WR coach in my opinion hasn’t exactly had the Tolbert’s Brooks and Flournoy trio burning up the stat sheets .

I think all three can produce . With problems at RB and both trenches next draft I’m mystified that Dallas has to fish in the WR lake next April when the young receivers already here aren’t targeted much at all .

I’m reluctant to be critical of Jeff Blasko RB coach when the teams sole pickups were Zeke and Dalvin Cook . This position in desperate need of 3rd round at the latest draft help and heck even a 2nd rounder if it’s a possible home run can’t pass on talent .

Robert Prince has always been a bad coach......Hated him here @ BSU. That guys playbook consists of nothing but bubble screens. :banghead:
