The Dak Thread **merged**

[gimmesix]

I have been a proponent of a wait-and-see approach with Prescott because he's only in his third year as a starter. I felt we'd have a better pulse on who he is as a starting quarterback by the end of this season.

I also believed that like with most quarterbacks he gets blamed when there's poor protection, receivers run bad routes or drop balls, the play-calls are bad, etc. Then, there are his 2016 performance and games like Detroit where he makes some picture-perfect passes.

The Texans' game convinced me, though, that Dak is only that type of quarterback who gives you those glimpses that make you believe he can be better than he is. We can look at dropped passes, protection breakdowns, poor play-calling and say that Dak would look like that 2016 QB if those things were fixed, but truthfully in the Houston game, he had too many passes where the receiver was open and the protection was good enough and he couldn't connect. There's just too much hit and miss in his game, and I think if we focus on the hit and ignore the miss, we're going to end up sticking with a starter who isn't good enough unless everything around him is pretty much perfect.

I'm ready at this point to see what Mike White can show before it's necessary for us to draft a quarterback in the first round next year. Yes, I skipped Cooper Rush, but that's because I think Rush's ceiling is being a good backup, but he doesn't have the zip to be a starter.

I know some will believe I'm overreacting to a bad performance, but there's been too much InDakuracy last year and this year. It's no longer about who Dak might can become, it's about who he is.

same here, the texan game also convinced me.
it seems dak is going to be dak. i would give the poor rookie some more time before feeding him to the sharks though.

lol.

Players never improve..might as well give up on them, especially when they have never shown anything...oh wait.

Brining in another rookie QB with a bad Oline, no one to throw to, and bad coaching is just going to ruin ANOTHER good young QB. Or we wont have the ability to properly analyze him.

Fix the line and the pass catchers while firing the coach. Then worry about a QB.

 

[Zman5]

Dak's been sucking but no young QB brought in will change anything with the offense until JG is gone.

Do you think Aikman would have been the same if he started out his career with JG instead of Norv and Jimmy?
Do you think Romo would have been the same if he started out his career with JG instead of Payton and Parcells?

I don't thinks so.

 

[Jake]

Instead of obsessing over sending a 2nd for Earl Thomas maybe we should've offered the Jets a 2nd for Bridgewater?

Prepare for disappointment.

The chances of White getting any snaps this year is 0%.

This OL excuse is becoming laughable now.

The lengths people will go and what they will make up to protect a player or a coach is hilarious.

The chances of Mike White showing we don’t need to draft a QB is 0%.

Why would the Cowboys waste a 2nd round pick like that?

 

[blumayne38]

I wanna see a change honestly

 

[blumayne38]

I feel he throws for 300 yrds i call it a W.

 

[CF74]

The answer is simple.. Stop trying to make Dak a pocket passer, let him run it more to get his butterflies under control and into some kind of rhythm where he excels...

Lmao

You mean step trying to make him an NFL QB and have them run college plays.

Brilliant

Stop complaining about the line. NFL QB's are going to get pressured. Dak feels pressure that isn't there and often moves toward pressure when it's not there.

This my stance on the offense:

-Coach is terrible
-QB is mediocre
-Pass catchers are terrible
-Oline is average at best

There is no one at this point that escapes my critical eye.

Zeke is the only thing GREAT on this entire offense. But he isn't doing us any good so I would definitely think about trading him.

 

[lk8701]

I want Justin Herbert.

I have to disagree with you there. I don't think Rush will be a good backup.

Yah and Zeke had all kinds of room to run yesterday didn't he?

The line had one good game and the rest have been average to horrid.
