A sobering analysis of Sunday's offensive doldrums. One Cowboy fans must hope is premature and ill-conceived. That said, it certainly makes some interesting observations about Prescott and the o-line. I don't necessarily agree 100% with the observations but they do make one wonder after seeing yesterday's painful loss:
The Panthers know quarterback Dak Prescott is highly risk-averse and won’t force passes into coverage. Prescott instead held the ball way too long on late downs, and this let the Panthers rush eat him up. Most of his sacks came on 4th quarter pass attempts where he stuck in the pocket waiting in vain for his targets.
Prescott does not look like a come-from-behind quarterback. He’s not willing to take the risky throws to shake up his team, and he may not have a dependable downfield target to redeem such risky passes. Add his lack of short-yardage accuracy (I know, this is one game) and he’ll be challenged to win games in a Montana-Brady style until he proves he can.
The sum of these traits suggests the 2018 Cowboys will be decidedly one-dimensional. They may be able to pound on lesser teams, but this profile will leave them short against the better defenses on their schedule.
