True story on those sideline routes. The majority of his INTs seem to be those sideline routes where he throws the ball a bit off balance and off the back foot.

I can't tell if Dak can't read a defense or what. Last game, he seemed to look off the safety and then go back to Dalton Schultz. What if he is just predetermining what he's going to do and it looks like he's reading the defense? A lot of his INTs are head scratchers and seem like he decided that's where he was going to go with the pass no matter what.
Either way he struggles at the throw. Why keep throwing it? For as much as Dak is the problem Kellen Moore isn't the solution. Why do we run curls and comeback routes when we have no speed at receiver? You run those routes when the defense plays off because they are scared of your speed at WR. Teams play off at the exact depth of the route and they are playing in zone which is why he gets picked off. It also doesn't help when you stare your receiver down.

I’ve lived through all the painful losses of the past 30 years, but this one is the most frustrating. Our TEAM outplayed San Francisco for 60 minutes and deserved to win that game. You couldn’t say that in any of the previous 6 straight divisional round losses, we just weren’t good enough in those games and got beat by the better team. I can live with that.

But we didn’t need an A+ effort from the quarterback to win this one. He didn’t have to carry this team. He simply had to manage the game and not lose it, AND HE COULDNT DO THAT.

What are we doing here with this guy?! How many more seasons of elite defensive play are we going to waste on this third rate quarterback?! He simply had to protect the football and we win this easily!!! There’s no up and down with him, the guy can’t hit NFL throws on a routine basis! He doesn’t see the field or have any pocket presence… he’s turning 30!!

He was pressured FIVE TIMES ALL GAME!!!! THE OLINE PITCHED A NEAR FLAWLESS GAME IN PASS PROTECTION AGAINST THE TOP D IN THE LEAGUE!!! If he can’t avoid self destructing with the performance the rest of his team game him today it’s time to MOVE ON!!!

I didnt see that at all. SF D Line shut down the run. Without the threat of the run or play action Dak highly unlikely to pass the team to victory. On the other side of the ball the Cowboys defense played their hearts out the whole game but around mid third quarter SF O Line wore them down and took over the game. The defense gave up 50% on third down and you are not going to beat SF if your defense cant get off the field on 3rd down. 3rd down defense has been a problem since Thanksgiving. This from a Dak NON believer.

I will never understand someone that's as smart as Jerry, not see or understand what you posted. He built 10 billion from 250 million, and made our franchise the mark of sports, but can't see or too stubborn to change when it's right in front of you. You can't tell me that people around him are discussing this, but yet, he kept Garrett, Romo, signed Dak and Zeke, this guy is a cancer to the Dallas Cowboys organization.

My biggest frustration with Dak is to see him make a dumb mistake, and then not learn from it. In the Washington game, he narrowly escaped a pick 6 on a boneheaded pass. I was expecting him to thank his lucky stars and be more careful. Then, on the very next play, he made the same boneheaded throw, but this time the opponent got its pick 6. I remember when the camera panned to a Cowboy fan in the crowd holding up his harms in the air, perplexed, as if to say, "What the #$%%?" I felt like saying to him, "I hear ya, buddy. I feel the same way."
Anyway, I'll turn the other cheek and root for the 49ers to beat the Eagles. Then again, I would root for Darth Vader if he were playing the Eagles.

He gave them 3 points on the INT in our redzone, lost us a minimum of 3 points at the end of the half, and gave them an opportunity to secure 3 more off that same sequence.

It was at minimum a 9 point swing, potentially 13.

And that’s just the INTs. He missed plenty of throws an NFL QB should hit, the one to Gallup deep, he missed a wide open TY Hilton for 6. Even the Lamb bomb was just a spectacular catch from Ceedee, but a better ball and that’s 6… he had that DB cooked.

He sucked no doubt about it. They are stuck with average. The team was sunk by the fact he isnt capable of passing the team to victory against good teams when he has no running game. SF won this game in the trenches and yes Dak was a huge negative. Go look at the defesnsive numbers on 3rd down. That wont cut it.

the worst part is, he legitimately would get all the credit if we won. How many times during those pats titles did they show bob Kraft. Like a million.

Jerry just has to prove he can do it with his hand picked coach. Lol we'll its legit been 28 or so years now. He hasn't even come close.

They were also playing to sell out against the run and were daring Dak to beat them. DeMeco Ryan hedged his bet and was right, Dak can’t do it.

That’s a HUGE problem when you’re paying your QB as much money as we are. It’s like choosing to play with a handicap. Even when the rest of the team is plus on the ROI it will never be enough because the QB is too much of a sink.

Unfortunately our brilliant front office gave him so much guaranteed money that we are stuck with him.

Relax. Dak has already said his 2 picks are "unacceptable" and vows to improve. Problem solved. Year 28.
