To me this is a non-factor.
I say this because Dak simply ran the offense that was called.
He handed it off and ran play action off the running game.
It wasn't like he had RG3 or Kap offenses where the league was adjusting to a new scheme.
This was about as vanilla as it gets.
We are going to run and if you put 8 in the box, we might still run.
But we are going to fake run and hit you with Beasley, Dez, Zeke out of the back field and Witten all tough to cover 1 v 1.
And if you fall into deep zones we use the speed of TWill on long crossing routes.
If anything Linehan given an off-season to make this offense tailored to Dak probably has an advantage on defenses.
Coming in with this OL, Zeke and a healthy DMC I don't see any way we are not the best rushing attack in the league.

Yeah, stating he could be at his ceiling after one year in the NFL must be a compliment????? My bad lol.

And Prescott has more experience to learn the game better.

That is something that would be true of...wait for it...EVERYONE.
It's not binary either. Things don't have to be either a criticism or a compliment. Things can be neither you know.

And you have applied that logic to other posters comments on Romo?

As Idj pointed out DCs got the book on Dak before the season is over.
What is missing in the worry is the other side of the coin. No team is going to look at Dak's tape more than Dak and the coaching staff. Outside of preparing for the draft, that is what coaches have been doing to get ready for next season.
He is now the unquestioned starter and more resources are going to be dedicated to him internally than any other.
In the meantime, Dak has been working on his game with Tom Shaw.

Yeah, it's those two games vs. the Giants that were issues. The first one you could understand because the first game and what not... The second was a real puzzler to him (Dak) and the entire offense.

And Minnesota, and Philly.

Yeah, maybe not to the degree of the 2nd Giants' game, but I agree with that take.

Yeah, give D coordinators an offseason to figure it out and they if its a gimmick or the player has very exposable flaws.
See RG3 and Foles....maybe Kaepernick too.
I'm not so sure Dak (in Dallas' offense) fits that mold.

What puzzles me is how readily so many watchers of football, some are Dallas fans and some are not, automatically assume Dak Prescott was a one year wonder.
As I mentioned in my thread about my encounter with a Steelers fan, I was told Dallas caught the rest of the league off guard with Dak, but next year, they would be ready and waiting for him.
Obviously, we have no idea how the 2017 season is going to unfold, but we do have the history of Dak Prescott. Every time he has gained the starting QB job, he has done nothing but improve on his play. In high school and then in college, that's what he has done. Will it be the same in the NFL? Who knows right now and there is a possibility that he will not improve. I do think, however, that the rest of the league and their fans are going to be unpleasantly surprised if that's what they are counting on from #4.

Who assumes he is a one year wonder? Many point out the FACT that it is a possibility. I haven't seen many, if any, say that he for sure was. What is puzzling is how many assume, and declare in no uncertain terms, that he is no one year wonder, and is a top five QB in the NFL right now and will win many championships. Now those are some wild assumptions.

I have seen several comments on this forum that lead me to believe that's how some fans feel. I know for a fact that's how some fans of other teams feel. I was simply making an observation. I realize nothing is certain.
