The Sack play when Dak ate the ball

[Gonzomandela01]

This play says everything about what Dak is as a QB in the clutch.

Important series to answer GB and keep the game competitive.

The play was design to go to the left with CD as first option and Fergie as a second option 15 yards deep.

Good protection, but 4 grows impatient when he sees CD covered, should have waited a bit for Fergie to come up open for a 15 yard gain, but he grows impatient and rolls to the right where he has no options, goes for the first down but comes up short, gets sacked and eats the ball out of FG range and going for it on 4th down possibility.

Everything you can do wrong on that play Dak did.

I rest my case.

He hasn't learned how to manage a pocket. This was a problem 8 years ago when he was drafted, but I hoped he would learn the skill. Apparently it's either innate or you just can't do it.

 

[TheDude]

which one. That idiot has never thrown a ball away. Watch any other top 10 QB...tyhey understand when you are being pursued 2 yards from the sideline and no one open that you can chuck it to the bench

Super Bowl!

I hate seeing dak scramble, it is the SLOWEST thing ever!! You're supposed to be able to outrun a DL, not DAK

Now that didn't even work with Romo when Seattle nearly cracked his back off his frame. C'mon Man.

Yeah it was an awful play. He hits Ferguson it’s a big gain. Instead it’s a sack and pushed the cowboys out of FG range.

Just terrible.

After watching Mahomes the day before ........ his pocket presence was exactly opposite.

Even the announcers said on the play Ferguson was busting open

 

[Creeper]

One of Dak's flaws, which Romo shared, if he does not throw the ball away when there is nothing there. He takes unnecessary sacks. I think I have seen him throw the ball away maybe 3 times all year.

The sack that took them out of FG range was just a horribly bad decision by Dak. I don't know why it is so hard to teach him not to take those sacks.

And yes, he is slow. A DT caught him from behind yesterday and almost decapitated him. Dak was never fast, but I think he was faster before he broke his ankle.

This play actually made me shout at the TV.

I couldn’t believe that he would be stupid enough to take Dallas out of FG range when he had plenty of time to throw the ball out of bounds.

He doesn't want to mess up his stats. He would rather hurt the team with a 2 yard loss than have an incompletion on his stat sheet.

There is no other answer. But McCarthy needs to chew his butt out for this type of stuff (away from the public eye). He may very well talk to him about it during the week but who knows. He's been doing it his whole career.

He learned how to manage the pocket well this season that's why this performance is so strange. It's as if he went into fight or flight mode and reverted back to his bad habit of panicking in the pocket and running away. I'm the big moments, Dak has proven time and time again that the stage is just too big for him and he falters under pressure.

Prescott - and some other QBs around the league - are trying to mimic Mahomes' penchant to extend a play to the very last second for a completed past downfield; but often wind up taking the sack.

 

[Gonzomandela01]

I don't think is fixable though. It crawls on him at the worst possible time, some guys have that Joe Cool persona, others don't. Look at CJ Strout and Love, I'm green with envy.

You could win with Dak at the helm with a historic 85 bears defense I guess, but in this day it would be impossible with free agency and the cap.

It was bad. It was something an 8 year veteran shouldn’t be doing.

In fact a would argue that most high school QBs know better.
