I keep going back to the comments made by Donte Whitner after last year's SF game. Not so much the comment that Dak sucks, but his follow-up explanation. That the Cowboys offense was clearly Limited by the deficiencies of the quarterback. He said there are certain throws that Prescott cannot make and because of that the Cowboys cut off significant portions of the field out of their scheme because he does not have the ability to execute at that level.Troy way over-defends Dak because he's invested by years of trying to make a case that Dak is an upper tier QB.
Dak isn't, and Troy isn't going to admit he's dead wrong despite irrefutable proof.
What I see is a complete lack of trust between QB and receivers. Cooper complained. CeeDee complains. The body language is palpable.
It's entirely possible that Aikman's assessment is accurate. Perhaps the scheme and the routes are terrible. What I keep coming back to is, McCarthy was able to scheme a prolific offense when he had Aaron Rodgers throwing the ball, no matter who the receivers were. Yet now all the sudden he can't scheme anybody open?
I would submit that it is much easier for opposing secondaries to defend against us when they are not preoccupied with certain areas of the field because they know that Prescott can't take advantage of them. I think that's the point that Whitner was making, and I think it bears a lot of consideration
