The Dak Prescott thread **merged**

[mattjames2010]

no way is this team top 5 in talent.

It has exceptional talent at about 5 positions. but overall talent? no way.


this is reasonably fair point. however, it is on the HC to discuss situational football in the critical moments with your 2nd Yr QB. On second down, Dak should have been told this is a run no matter what and we will also run the clock down to 5 seconds or less before snapping the football.

This isn't rocket science and our Princeton educated HC still doesn't get it.

I agree, when we have Dak run those plays, they seem to work well in the red zone. And I think Elliott could have helped get us a first down - we would have drained some clock and forced Packers to use a timeout. Then we could have ran that play.

I'm not saying it would have got us a victory, but it would have made sense. Bad playcalling and it's on the coaching staff there.

I was a big Romo fan as well but Dak is so far from the problem that it is laughable at this point.

Likewise. Enormous Romo fan that has a pulse - resulting in seeing how obvious it is that we're incredibly lucky to have a second year QB playing so well.

Honestly, if he doesn't throw high and outside to T Will (sure, it was catchable, but tough especially when your WR has to leave his feet to even get his hands on the high and outside throw) we win. Throwing high and outside means if your receiver doesn't catch it, that ball is careening UP into the air and is ripe for a pickoff. If you are gonna miss, miss low.

He was leading him away from the defender like an elite QB would do. If Williams actually uses his hands, it should be an easy catch.

 

[mattjames2010]

This is moronic...did you watch the game or just read a box score? It was a ball that you or I could have caught.

Dak's got to improve his downfield accuracy, but he did more than enough to win today. The issue is the sieve that is our defense.

No, it was not a ball you or I could have caught. It was a fast ball that was too high and to the left of Williams. Should Williams make the catch? Sure. Should Dak have made a better pass? YEP.

....two players at fault. That can happen and did.

After all that HE STILL got us the go ahead score with 80 seconds left. We still lost....it's hilarious that it is Dak's fault to the few and far in dumb...

If by two players were at fault you mean one guy threw it and the other guy let it go right through his arms, I agree.

Dak carried the team on his back today. With all the glaring issues on this team, Dak not being absolutely perfect in every way, is the least of our issues.

I can see what Dak was TRYING to do, but it was still inaccurate. When you don't put the ball on the mark, it's lead to bad thing. It did there.

If he catches with his hands like a Nfl player is supposed.to do it is a completion. When the ball hits you in the chest it is on you and only you if you are in the NFL!!

So you think the ball was thrown directly where he was needed? LOL

Dak 115.8 passer rating

Do TOs win or lose games? We had one and GB didn't..

Because he had an INT that ended up in a score..

 

[khiladi]

He alone was the reason why this horrible team even competed and had a chance to win today.

Hes on pace for 35 TD passes this year and over 40 total

Nonsense..

The whole second half we were carried by Zeke.. after that INT and all the checkdowns to Witten we were throwing, we just fed Zeke who ran off big run after big run..

Get ready for the excuses and strawmans.

Zzzzzzzzz



4 TDs by the QB with a 115 rating. But yea he was carried

I agree with all of this- I disagree with your assessment of Dak Prescott individually.

He balled out today and his team came up short. It's not his fault the Defense can't get a stop nor that Terrence Williams can't catch. Was he perfect? No he was not. But he was good enough to go toe to toe with ARod for the 3rd time in two years.

 

[khiladi]

Get ready for the excuses and strawmans.

Dak was great in the first half keeping plays alive and making nice plays, but pretending he was magnificent in the second is absurd..

Dez saved another pass from being INT on a horrible throw by Dak, Dak also threw into a crowd with AM who was surrounded by the whole DL of the Packers and contrary to popular belief and even Aikman mentioned it, though TWill should have caught it, his pass was was behind him..

He sold the read option beautifully though in the second.,

Why is it everyone who defends Dak responds like they are 12 year old Call of Duty player?

Agreed - I actually forgot about that horrible pass to Dez.

And yes, Dak is quite good in the red zone with those read options.

 

[diefree666]

When your D cannot hold a team under 30 points THAT is where the main problem lies. Now the O did not help with the turnovers but they put up 31 points and thus the MAJORITY of blame is on the D.

You’re blind.

A 5th receiver on any NFL team is expected to make that catch. That was not a difficult catch for an nfl receiver to make. Unless they can’t catch with their hands like Terrance Williams.
