What if Dak steadily gets worse by seasons end

[dfense]

It's a valid question. Dak has shown real consistency and accuracy issues. He can hit wide open receivers maybe 80% of the time. Will his accuracy improve enough? Or is it just going to be acceptable he can't throw in a tight window? The Cowboys will never get to that level with a QB who is "just pretty good". As you've seen already, teams have a plan for Dak and it's achieving results. His play action rollouts are going to have a LB waiting for him more often now. Keep him in the pocket. He's average from there.

So is this what it's going to be for the next 3-4 years? You've got to ask yourself...

What young QB has steadily improved every year? Throws with anticipation? Stands in the pocket? Leads his receiver instead of only throwing outs and comebacks? Can make every throw required. And just so happens to be a free agent 2018? Don't tell me you haven't thought about.

Kirk Cousins.

How often does a QB, seemingly ready to take the next step come available to the highest bidder?

1) How awesome would it be for the Skins to be dumb enough to let him get away?
2) How awesome to let him get to a hated rival and have nobody to replace him with?
3) A plug and play QB who has the possibility to throw for 4500 yards if needed.
4) A QB motivated to remind his former team of the mistake they made twice a year for the next 8-10 years.

A pretty bold move to make. One that might be best for the team.

Dak if fine.

We need better line play and for our receivers to get open more often.

LOL @ Kirk Cousins


His next win in a big game would be his first

 

[IheartRomo]

The brilliance he displayed last year would easily offset even a downright poor year this year (which, by the way, has not yet been the case).

I think because we had such great QB play for a decade, people have forgotten that playing QB in the NFL as a young player is hard - really hard. It's almost the opposite of the Eagles/Wentz situation in which he's been dubbed a diety despite mediocre play and apparent flaws because the QB play for the team has been so weak over the past 5-10 years.

Dak has shown flashes of brilliance with some weaknesses mixed in. Barring an absolute collapse, he's well ahead of the curve for a second year QB and we'll be in an enviable situation with a growing young QB that has shown the ability to win in the NFL.

Remain calm, all is well.

 

[SDCowboy]

I have little doubt Dak will be fine. The offense as a whole just needs to clean itself up. And it starts at the oline.

Improved oline play will help the run game, and both will help the passing game.

 

[movaughn88]

Do you really want to trade an asset of great value (Dak and his contract) for one of massive over-value (Cousins at $30m a year?)

 

[jazzcat22]

Dak will be fine, but they need a real QB coach to help him through those moments, keep him calmed down. It is apparent in his high throws.
Romo was his mentor and guide and QB coach.
Wilson is horrible, what has he ever done for any QB since he has been here.

Why this team is so stubborn to keep coaches around that do nothing is beyond me. They finally made a change and brought in Greg Jackson last year, and he helped the secondary. Not sure about this year, but they all mostly all new. I will give the that.

I truly do not think Leon Lett is adding anything to the DT's. Or so it does not seem like it. Maybe he is, but better players help.

Its not the WR fault all the time. When They are open Dak over throws them by 15 feet.

 

[bark]

Man if the Cowboys don't right the ship this place is gonna get cray cray

 

[Alexander]

Cooper. Rush.

 

[diefree666]

I am another one that has doubts about Wilson as a QB coach. Romo looked like he pretty much did his own thing over the years. When he was working on various things off season he would talk about it; I never heard him mention Wilson.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

What if Zeke steadily gets worse by seasons end?
What if the OL (namely TSmith, Frederick, Martin) steadily gets worse by seasons end?

 

[JohnsKey19]

He has missed on some throws but overall been fine. Yes he definitely can play better. 2nd year QB has a 90 passer rating after 4 games and we're already looking to hit the panic button.

 

[mardwin]

If Dak is regressing it means we will have a top 10 pick in 2018 with a decent QB class we have to consider if he's worth $20M per yr down the road or if we can get a better prospect

And why in the world would the Skins let Cousins walk?

 

[MRV52]

First of all Cooper Rush has to dress and be the #2 QB. But even this simple task is too much for these idiots Garrett and Linehan. If Dak goes down in a game and Moore comes in, like we have any chance of doing anything or salvaging the game.

not sure but I think this might be the last season they can use the Franchise Tag on him. I believe you can only do it twice.

And they'll have a large contact ready for him to sign.

You have not been following that little soap opera. Cousins has made it clear he is done with the Skins front office. He can get just as much elsewhere and not have to put up with Danny Boy.
