Something that Dak doesn't do that would help him alot

Why doesn't Dak step up in the pocket and avoid about half of these sacks? Is it just me or does he seem to always go back during the rush? I swear these coaches are just not teaching him the little things that would make a big difference. I don't think Garrett is going anywhere but lord we need a QB coach.........

Better yet why is Linehan not making him roll out and throw it?
 
I would rather we hire a new offensive coordinator. matt lafleur of the titans would be nice.

When he thinks he’s under duress he takes his eyes off of the field and looks at the rush and shuffles backwards. Sometimes he escapes but a lot of times he takes a bad sack. That probably costs him an extra second or more to get the ball out. Guys like Rodgers also hold on to the ball forever but they keep their eyes downfield and make a lot more plays than Dak does.
 
It is painfull to watch those sacks, I think each defence is looking at that tape every week seeing how to push him out of the pocket. I like his screen passes to Zeke though.

Can’t throw from the pocket, can’t throw on the run. Perhaps we should ask dak to line up at receiver and throw from there?

Obviously I’m being sarcastic and I don’t think dak is that bad. But coaches can only do so much. Over the long run a guy is what he is.

I am very critical of Dak especially when he just shuffle his feet and gets sacked. However, I see him being more comfortable out in space. He tends to keep his head up and look down field. Makes better decisions. Whether or not he completes the pass is a different issue. But I think he will make decision to run much quicker and stop taking those unnecessary sacks.

I said when Dak was drafted that our QB coach (Wilson at the time) would take the RPO guy out of him fast. Linnehan too. Agree, go out and get a QB coach who knows how to bring out the best in a tank like Dak and isn't an old school "stand in the pocket" and fling it coach.Moores weakness was throwing on the move, and he was too short to throw from the pocket!! How could he coach throwing on the move OR from the pocket???

As far as stepping up in the pocket, that's fine as long as the pocket isn't collapsing in his face. Just ask Drew Brees what impact that has. It's good to teach but the protect better not break down and don't tell me Looney is even close to being as good as Freddy. Martin's knee is an issue as well and Williams is not strong enough, yet.
 
For anyone that does not believe a coach cannot coach this issue out of a player should go back and listen to Bill Parcells REPEATEDLY yelling "#9, you got to get the ball out #9" or "Tony, it's 1,2, 3 throw".

Now, could that fix Dak? I don't know.

But I wish we had someone doing to him what Parcells did to Romo.
 
In the last 5 games since the bye, Dak's been sacked 22 times, and pressured 59 times.

According to PFF, 5 of the sacks and 9 of the pressures were Dak's fault. Here's the rest of the pressures (sacks):

Collins 14 (5)
S'ua-Filo 10 (4)
Martin 6
Williams 4 (1) (one game)
Fleming 3 (1)
Redmond 3
Elliott 3
Looney 3 (1)
Swaim 2
Gathers 1
R Smith 1

5 sacks were evidently coverage sacks, attributed to no one. Collins, S'ua-Filo, and Williams are responsible for 10 of the remaining 17 sacks, and 28 of the remaining 50 pressures.

Over those five games, Prescott's passer rating is 58.7 when pressured, and 119.4 when kept clean.

I doubt that Peyton would even consider coaching, at any price. He has more money than he can spend without putting in endless hours coaching. I think he makes more doing a few commercials than he could make in a year as a QB coach. Today's high-profile athletes (especially QB's) make so much money in a career that coaching simply isn't an option they consider.

In reality, it seems that the #2 or #3 Quarterback make the better coach. The #1 Are usually so good it comes naturally and doesn't understand the need to be taught.
 
It’s the interior pressure we’ve been giving up, plus the blitzes to the interior gaps hat has him relying on his ability to get outside the off tackle pressure when he probably should be staying out and throwing it away.

We should be screening the hellmout of teams, with Elliott and Beasley and Tavon when he’s back. Connect on some more of the deep balls and play defense like this week and we’ll be running out games again like we did in 2016 and the pass pressure matters much less.

Again, why does Collins get a pass from fans when it’s obvious he’s backslid and responsible for so much of the pressure? I don’t get it.
 
Dak came from a RPO offense. When your quarterback is more prone to run than to throw, stepping up in the pocket is harder.

It says something when a defense lines up its best edge rusher against Collins rather than against the backup who's playing on the QB's blind side.

Worse yet Jerry has enough money he could hire Peyton Manning to be the QB coach its not like it counts against the cap. Coaching is the one thing you can buy that has an incredible impact on the team and Jerry is so slow coming around to realize this .

With the proper QB coaching Dak would be close to a finished product . With the water boy in charge of the job it could take 5 yrs as Dak will just learn everything the hard way

Like this assessment. He does need a QB Coach

Well, he's not that great at 3rd and long standing in the pocket either. I can't stand those sacks. So I rather see him move a little instead of a 2 yard dump off with no chance at 1st down.

Have you seen the receivers on those 3rd downs? They are either covered or getting open late. More than half the time, Dak doesn't even have 3 seconds to patiently find his late-opening receivers, hence the sacks.

Have you seen those pockets when he's getting sacked? Half the time the pressure up the middle is in his face, thus making it difficult for him to step up, hence Dak having to scramble out and around the pocket.
