Mr. Throw-Under-the-Bus Prescott Back At It Again

[atlantacowboy]

Right. His rookie season is still his most successful campaign and that was the same season Zeke was destroying teams running all over them. Perhaps stick to developing the running game and fewer passes for Prescott. Maybe 20 or less passes a game and more runs.

And he was also on a short leash b/c he didn't know half the playbook. Dak needs to be managed. He is not an elite QB and has no business throwing the ball 46 times in a close game.

 

[MiddleStar]

It was cover 2, meaning the middle is generally where the defense would be exposed. The LB actually did make a good play, as he had inside leverage and he did run Schultz off his route, so Schultz had to delay his break.

The problem again is Dak and his slow processing.
He was staring Schultz down the whole time and threw it well after Schultz made his break inside, meaning he was just watching his first read no matter what and they safety it was basically sitting there waiting. Dak just keys in on his first read and stares them down.

So it’s just a case of using the truth of what Schultz should have done, to hide Dak’s mistake. Plays aren’t made in a vacuum and there is a defense you are throwing against. As @CowboyoWales said, the timing was blown so he should have known. But he’s a 1-read QB basically.

If Dak pulled down, he could have run left or right as he had two wide open holes to net significant yardage. He had all the time in the world.

I get that it is cover 2 and that the LB did do a good job of disrupting the play. And that this has to be run against a live D, who alter things.

What I don't get is the routes by Schultz and Lamb. My guess is that Schultz is supposed to go deeper into the endzone and run towards the end line as opposed to running acroos the endzone towards the sideline. But, that then begs the quation what/where is the 4th target supposed to do? If Schultz does go endline then they end up in the same spot and Lamb is closer to the goal line, with Pollard still open on the sideline. It just seems to me that one of Schultz/Lamb should have gone left to if nothing else, take one of the defenders with them. As it was there were 4 targets and 6 defenders all in the same 3rd of the field. I get the read was horrible but I just don't understand the design either.

Maybe you need to stop staring down your receivers so the safeties don’t put themselves into perfect positions to INT your passes that “show you can throw into tight windows if the defenders aren’t there”?

Oh wow! "miscommunication" and "knocked off his route" and "him seeing something different" -- that's only calling someone out if you are completely drenched in Dak hatred.

Since 2011 Prescott has the second worst QBR on 3rd and 4th Down. He's only behind Tebow. Given that 3rd down is the quarterback down then that basically says it all really especially given the loaded offenses Prescott has played on.

His double fist bumps in the huddle are annoying

Corny and phony and throw in the pointing to the sky you got a recipe to vomit with......

That's a stat that doesn't bode well for playoff success.

The best teams (ones that win SBs) over the years have typically had higher 3rd conversions made/stopped percentages, and a QB whose rating goes down in such situations will likely not up the offensive percentages. I believe the 1992 Cowboys SB winning team had both the top 3rd down made/stopped conversion percentages in the league that year. It's one of a number of primary statistical indicators for success, like a lack of turnovers and forcing them.

End of the day Dak Prescott is a bus driver as is Cooper Rush. The only real difference is that Dak parallel parks a bit better. Jerry once again made an emotional decision instead of looking at the body of work. Sit back and enjoy the mediocrity he isn't going anywhere for a few more seasons and even then I suspect he will be extended.

No argument from me. I keep expecting more from this team and never get it.

Good God, really? That's awful

Was at the the game. Nobody talks to Dak on thr sideline. After the first pic he wasn’t within 30 yards of another player. Only the coaches surround Dak and they treat him like a little kid that they have to talk up. They are patting him on the back and all talking off the iPads.

Completely false.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Greg Olsen said it was on the receivers. Called them out on the TV broadcast. So he's wrong?

Saying it was a miscommunication isn't throwing anyone under the bus. It's saying, Dalton thought one thing. Dak thought another.

But I'm not about to get a caught up in yet another Dak sucks thread. Just wanted to point that out. Y'all got it.

 

[Cmac]

He's a very good bus driver who wants to drive a Ferrari. He and KM should stick to what he's good at rather than trying to be flamboyant (CUT OUT ALL SLANTS), can't his a east west route.
Our offense works off run first.

I'd go with "We have a OC driving 95 in a 35MPH zone." Now that's reckless driving.

The pic with Ray Charles was good. Now can you do one with the OC drawing plays in the dirt? Please.

 

[DandyDon52]

Dak led us to a two touchdown lead in the 4th quarter. Surely he's trash and it's his fault we lost. He passed 46 times. Had Cooper Rush had been in at QB, we'd have run 46 times. Why isn't the OC sticking with a similar formula on the road at Lambeau in the cold?

uh he is dumb and does what jerry says, jerry likes passing to lamb and gallup.
most of us rush fans knew kellen would pass more once dak is back, and here is proof.

Yup or maybe when the play isn't there like the Shultz play you don't throw it in with 3 defenders in that space? He can't process that quick enough and still throws when the play was blown up. Basic crap that this QB still has a hard time with.

 

[USArmyVet]

Not blaming Dak isn’t what makes you wrong but not acknowledging the other aspects of why we lose does

you same people are continually most active in Dak threads and less active in the others except to point out your disdain with Dak . coming up with every metric you can to pinpoint the qb while disregarding the other metrics

we get it you can’t stand Dak .

You mean like Rock, Nav, and others post only when Dak plays well?

 

[acr731]

Completely false.

Let me guess - you were on the sidelines and KNOW this to be false. Or are you just saying this because you don't like what was said by someone who saw it with his own eyes.

Lamb ran his route wrong
Don’t take my word for it the actual nfl players who watched his route

 

[Zordon]

I told you guys he does the same thing every time the team struggles, because of his garbage play. this was in 2019 when he fell into his ‘annual slump’.

The players after the second pic were yelling at the coaches. They know Dak ain’t the guy and he’s not even respected by his own team. The only time Dak talks to his team are when they get out on the field and he literally high fives all 5 lineman before the drive starts.

breaking news - Dak is total trash

That's funny that you said that. On the Sounds of the Game, I felt like the chemistry has been off since he's been back or at least I have not enjoyed them as much lately. However, SOTG doesn't really show what you are saying.

This is a sad commentary, tbh.

Damn, how did I miss this quote.

Is this the quote you're referring to?

"If you can’t bring your best for this game, and if you can’t prepare your best each and every day, something’s wrong with you.”
