Upgrade the quarterback position and all our problems with the offensive line are solved

[PJTHEDOORS]

Dak has lost me ,he refuses to throw the ball deep and cannot make some basic throws.I am ready for a QB pick in next years draft.

We picked a qb in last years draft.

I would love to see what he has,Dak is not going to get us anywhere.

not that dak refuses to throw the deep ball he can't throw the deep ball --- never has never will ----- no arm ---- the bigger problem
is Jason garrett ----- not gonna win with that guy

How does this make sense when threw the ball deep in the first offensive series against the Giants and completed it for a TD? Granted he doesn't have a top arm, but he can throw the ball deep as long as he makes a correct read and decision instead of holding the ball too long and letting the receiver run out of range. That's really the whole key - the quick reads and decisions. Too often he seems to be holding the ball too long, I assume looking for the best option. As a rookie it seemed he just took what was open instead of waiting and hoping for something better.

Romo made Garrett look like a great coach. Dak makes Garrett look like steaming diahrrea. Don't try to deny it.

lol. What great coaching did Garrett do with Romo behind center in the playoffs? Get real. You denied reality.

I think the refusal to see it is over the top. Seasons that ended in the usual disappointment only strengthens the case. Like a loss with home field is an accomplishment. If your good enough to win 13 games you should be good enough to win playoff games. But it's always a different excuse except coaching? Year nine and some still don't see an issue? And they look horrendous in their current state. But the coaching's fine. lol Who will it be? the QB? OC? last year it was Dez. Can we run off the list of scapegoats. Every year it's anyone but Garrett. It's ridiculous and sad.

I said we might find a better coach. But the guy has a .540 win percentage, which is well regarded in coaching circles. I’m perfectly ready to move on but some of you are a bit ridiculous, blaming everything on Garrett and Linehan.

And let’s be real clear: the reason we lost in the playoffs the last two times was the defense.

Well unless the OL gets somewhere, no qb behind center will matter as long as the coaches are still here.

He will stare right at an open receiver and won’t throw it. That’s lack of arm confidence. And he’s late on a lot of throws too.

Dak was simply better in his first 18 games. Something is in his head now.

Ofcourse,all this assuming we fire the entire offensive coaches including Garrett.there is no way i want to draft a Qb early and Jason Garrett be his HC.

Garrett lost the playoff games, not Ro.

 

[The Fonz]

What if...

We are 1-4, Dak is playing like crap and gets hurt. Rush or White come in and wins 6 out of 8 of our last games.

Do you draft Justin Herbert next year?

In a heartbeat

And the HC has nothing to do with the D? There's always a reason they lose. Lose being the key word. Like clock management and the usual throw instead of run gameplan really helped the Ds case. who's fault was it Marnellis? Like Rob Ryan before him? The scapegoat list is mighty long! Good stuff though. Maybe another dozen years or so might net some actual results. Apparently some don't grow tired of sitting home every January. That includes ownership.

Romo lost the Seattle game.

The offensive line isn't exactly amazing right now, but that's partially due to the fact that defenses are sending 8 or 9 rushers each time. No line can survive that. Dak has install fear in defensive coordinators every time they blitz him. If he's not the guy, we have to draft one.

-Martin is not the problem

-Collins is not the problem

-Tyron Smith is not the problem

-The rookie at guard is not the problem.

These guys didn't suddenly wake up one day and forgot to play their position. Their job is just harder with Prescott as the trigger man.

I totally agree. a lot of it is due to Dak and him either pulling the ball down or holding on too long.

 

[percyhoward]

The OL ain't what it used to be. As we knew coming into the season, (and going into the draft, for that matter) Dak becomes Bad Dak when pressured consistently. So when we face a team that can rush the QB at all, we get Bad Dak.

Bad Dak with this group of receivers is an ugly combination.

Aikman: "Cole Beasley and Tavon Austin are the best route-runners on this team."

 

[Galian Beast]

If I had the option of replacing Prescott or Garrett. First and foremost it's Garrett. I'd like to see another QB, but coaching definitely needs an upgrade before that happens.

I think any reasonable coach replaces Prescott pretty quickly, so yeah, Garrett first.

Garrett will turn on Prescott before it is over though.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Romo's completion % for 2 playoff games early in his career (Dak is in his 3rd year)...

2006 (age 26) - 58.6%, 189 yds, 1 td
2007 (age 27) - 50%, 201 yds, 1 td, 1 int.

Romo made Garrett look like a great coach. Dak makes Garrett look like steaming diahrrea. Don't try to deny it.

It doesn’t matter, Garrett is not taking you anywhere or winning anything. Dak is playing bad, is Garrett doing anything about it? No, it’s his usual “need better execution.” Never is he accountable for what is wrong with the team.

For all that you say that Romo made Garrett look good, he didn’t win anything. Romo got crucified here on this forum the whole time he was the QB.

Only if the Joneses let it be. It's their call.

 

[landroverking]

All well and good but who is ready to write off this season.

My bad, this years draft.
