PFT: Dak Prescott: Young WRs have opportunity with Brandin Cooks out

[Whirlwin]

Everyone hyping up Flournoy but they need to feed Brooks to see what's there. Tolbert just ain't it

We already know what’s there, average

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

1/6 is not a cop out, it's the stats. They should be 0/6 but Tolbert salvaged the 1.

No I’m not saying they have been good at it this year. The cop out is that he can’t throw it. You throw them. It’s not apart of their offense. It should be.

I Wonder do you guys even watch the games or just troll lol.

OK, yes maybe a little sarky, but I do watch all Cowboys games via live stream in England. Followed Dallas since 85 via various ways, AFN on the radio, Channel 4, First Down newspaper the Sky Sports.
Is it really too much to expect the league's highest paid player to complete relatively simple passes and pull out a rabbit now and again?

 

[KJJ]

Cooks hasn’t done much this season and this will very likely be his last season with the Cowboys. This is a great opportunity for our young receivers.

 

[NotForLong]

He is exactly right ............excellent opportunity

Meanwhile CD will get all the blame

 

[darthseinfeld]

I hope that doesn't include Brooks. We have all seen what he can do. Not much

 

[NotForLong]

Wow

He’s accurate alright, it’s the defense fault alright, stats don’t tell what the film does

Wow

You feel he doesn’t do that?

He’s averaging just over 17 yards a catch. He hasn’t had a lot of opportunity so I wouldn’t be writing him off just yet. He makes one mistake and some of you already want to move on from him.

He has played 62 snaps on offense and he has all of 3 receptions. Ya, thats not very good. Thats getting a chance and doing nothing with it

He had an 18 yard reception against Cleveland and a 24 yard catch against Baltimore. He had the longest reception of any of our receivers in preseason. He’s still a young player and has shown he can make plays down the field. Way too early to give up on him. Cooks is our number two receiver and only has 9 receptions this season. The Cowboys invested a 3rd round pick on Tolbert so he’s being given a lot more opportunities this season.

 

[Bunston10]

Well yes, sometimes he does, but too many times the receiver has to adjust to catch a ball thrown either down by his lower legs or way up high which takes away any momentum they would have had had the ball been thrown better.
I'm not a Dak hater, I desperately want him to be superb, I just don't think he is that good, not even top 10.

 

[lopey]

I expect over 300 yards pasing.

For Fields

 

[Denim Chicken]

Young receivers now have their opportunity to be overthrown. Jk

 

[Coogiguy03]

An opportunity to be overthrown to when open or to jump higher than they ever have to catch a simple 3 yard pass.

loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool TOO FUNNY!!!! It's crazy, all that hard work just for that short pass, or even on the deep balls that are always underthrown. The Wr has to come back and adjust his body just to try and make a play on the ball

That’s fair. But you do know every quarterback does that though right? Every pass isn’t in the numbers or in stride.
