The case for a successful rookie season for Dak

[VACowboy]

Actually there are a bunch of people saying that.

Not in this thread.

First time ever for me on this - catching Tyke on a misspell. It's been over 15 years watching and waiting.



I think it's hear.

Me - you can catch any day.

I was in the movies watching the previews before "Jason Bourne" when I typed this post. I was the only in the theater.

You got me.

Good OP thread but why did you feel the need to mention Manziel, lol?

I think simplifying the gamebook will be the best option for Prescott and the entire offense. Some fans will not want to consider it but keeping it simple will increase player focus on execution. The unit has the linemen and skill personnel across the board to do real damage IF they run each play as perfectly as possible. Plus, simplying the offense does not mean that wrinkles should be excluded from the gameplan, WHICH the offense can catch defenses off-guard after "lulling" them to sleep on previous downs/drives. If true, coaches will be more on the hot seat than Prescott in my opinion for these reasons.

The only reason I mentioned Manziel is because he was more a run-first quarterback, in part because he just didn't know the passing game. Dak isn't like him in that regard. I think Dak will look to pass first and then use his legs. And I think his running style is more "refined" than Manziel's. And what I mean by that is Manziel looked to scramble to the sidelines, assuming he had the speed to beat faster linebackers. He did that in college. He couldn't get away with that in the NFL. Dak, however, sees the field better. He's looking to run to make yardage, not necessarily to escape like Manziel did.

Some of you would have written me off after my second season. Probably everybody in my fourth. So, give Dak Prescott a break for the first freakin' 8 games, I beg you.
