@ $40,000,000 annually, shouldn't the OC and HC have high expectations for their leader and QB?

You are making up lies. You've gone too far.
Where's the proof of your lies?
Come on, you coward!
It will come home to you.

ooohh, the drunk man is mad. be afraid. be afraid.

tell me I am lying about you and being sued. you haven't denied it. I want you to say it, so I can drag you around harder by showing people what you really are.

tell us again how Tashard Choice is better than Emmitt Smith....

Yes. He's proven that he does. We don't know how good he can be, but with Prescott we have seen him repeatedly choke when the game gets too big for him.
Rush responded to the pressure by producing from the start.

It will take greatness in all 3 phases of the game. Attention to detail and execution. A willingness to sacrifice for each other and to believe in the process. Make a bad play? Put it behind you and make a great play to make up for it. This is what is needed all the way to the Super Bowl. Just my humble opinion nothing more.

I don't change my opinion of Dak as a starter; he shouldn't be in the NFL.
The Cowboys are going to have to win by focusing on their strengths and taking the pressure off of Dak.
If Dak has to lead, the Buccaneers will easily defeat the Cowboys.
Dak only "balls out" when the opposing defenses arent able to focus on him or simply don't need to focus on him because they have a big lead.

Perhaps and I say again perhaps football is a team sport. While the qb handles the football on virtually every play he needs team mates to go out and do their job to help him be a success. You name me one qb past or present that has done it all on his own? Dak is not any different in that regards. He is not a qb that everyone on here likes but neither would they all have loved Staubach had this forum been invented back then. If we had a "I hate Dak" forum you would never need to venture out onto other threads. You'd be home.

Nah it's a team game giving Dak 20% of our cap is irrelevant!!!!

Football is a team sport; yes. But one weak member weakens the team. Dak plays great when he doesn't have to be the leader, but in games where the Cowboys need him to be the difference, he isn't.
I don't hate Dak. This thread is about how to use him to his strengths, and keep away from his weaknesses.

So are you saying in Big moments Dak disappears? If so I guess he has to step up his game then. I don't hate Dak either but would like him to take over a meaningful game to quell the haters. So I concur what you are putting out in this thread.

Execution is key. Running for 1 and 2 yards, is not a winning gameplan.

That’s kind of my thinking here. I feel like Kellen read the Chuck Muncie Don Coryell manual on how to run that 1980s offense (Kellen ignored the part that Coryell said needs 2 fast WRs each who can stretch the field and constant formation changes and motion to allow clean releases - and lastly that the deep pass play is predicated on play action every time, but oh well - the point isn’t for Kellen to succeed, it’s for him to learn at the Cowboys expense,right?).

So Kellen calls interior power run plays that are unapologetically designed to pull the defense forward especially the SS. But Coryell postulated that the effective power running game would cause more defenders to move toward box and out of deep coverage. The problem is there is such little novelty from Kellen that it really only takes 2-3 defenders to fill a hole - especially since teams use game tape to analyze tendencies (a truth that Kellen doesn’t seem to grasp). One of Kellen’s diffusions of responsibility is that many of the Zeke and Pollard first-down runs are “choice” runs where the RB can choose between gaps. So theoretically if Zeke or Tony gets stuffed, it’s their fault. But similar to Dak on pass plays, more deliberation by the RB gives the advantage to the defense.
Why Kellen does not impose outside runs (averaging 5-7 ypc in last two seasons) and quick high percentage passes (that worked brilliantly for Dak in 2016) is beyond me. And before there are quid nuncs about Kellens scheme name, it is Coryell. Cooper Rush said it earlier in the year “it’s the same scheme I have done since I’ve been here”. And Kellen said last season “it’s the only scheme I know. I’ve been running it since Pop Warner.

I feel bad because I've called out others for personal attacks, but this thread is so entertaining!! The OP's Barney Fife act is priceless!
