Well, it would be nice to see him faster/quicker for next year as this year he looked like Vinny Testaverde out there in the pocket . He's never going to be that great passer. Would be nice if he could at least find the ability to scramble again. Keep the defense a little honest.

Maybe Zeke can set up some trash cans for him to dodge. lol

Hurts is less a passer, but their GM put the perfect situation around him. Dak is actually a decent passer when he plays with confidence. His problem is he panics when asked to respond. He gets this kind of tunnel vision. I think there is no fixing him.

The one exception is the Steelers game. But prior to that game winning TD pass a Steeler dropped an INT. Then Dak threw one into the dirt, followed by the TD pass. So he had multiple chances.

His 'injury' should heal quite well, probably even far better than expected. Maybe next year he should try to avoid getting caught on camera sharing his thoughts on his team so he doesn't have to get 'injured' again.

How nice of Dak to point out that getting his bag has made it a good year for him personally. To hell with the team, though.

He's here to stay so rest and healing is all that matters now.

I can't judge any quarterback that has this cast of misfits around him on this offense.

I don't give a rip what he, Jerry or Parsons have to say anymore.

I will look to who the next HC is, the draft , and free agency.....that what will speak volumes to us

He's best when the offense can have a great run game. When the defense simply can't just have all 7 guys sit in zone coverage cause our run game is butt cheeks.
Every QB benefits from it, obviously. Romo had his best year when they ran Murray into the ground.
He's paid, and they are stuck with that deal. But the team needs to get that RB/OL coach/OL talent so they can't force Dak to win games with his arm every time. He isn't that guy. Very few are.
And no, I'm not on the Jeanty train. They need to draft a RB, but day 2 should have plenty of good backs.

Perhaps the peripheral vision of Steele getting beat so quick, DL making it's way up the middle, and the young buck, Guyton, struggling with his block........could possibly require some earlier intentions to find an open receiver. Just possibly, but most wouldn't see it that way.......just too easy to put it on the QB. Watch the pocket for Cooper this week, against the Commanders.....the "rush" or "panic" will reflect by some passes in the ground and possibly some picks. Just watch the pocket this week.

I’ve said it countless times all season, Dak needs to drop weight. His legs are too big and he plays very stiff. Losing 20 lbs would do him a world of good at his age.

It's a bit surprising that he or people inside his circle can't read the tea leaves..........banking $81M this season for only 5-6 games puts you on the wrong side of any conversation. Silence is your best friend ..........lol
