What if Dak steadily gets worse by seasons end

[sbark]

This is the reason I hate my fellow Cowboy "fans".

...........just a like on this post, should keep guys "off the list" the guy was putting together the other day......

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

You take advantage of having Dak with a cheap contract.......to give one to Cousins is moronic but about on course with what goes on around here after a loss.

I use to think we got a bad rep.....but when fans talk about how dumb we are......it makes sense.

If Dak continues to get worse...Garrett and his system and his approach needs to go. Never wanted Garrett coaching the next future QB of the Cowboys. Always wanted Garrett and Romo to exit at the same time.

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

Every QB misses throws, but he is not getting enough help from his WRs and the line. WRs are making him hold the ball too long bc they are not getting open and the line is not holding their blocks long enough making him jittery in the pocket.

What if he steadily gets better by seasons end?

This thread just gutted my "what if Dak breaks both collarbones and all his transverse processes and we sign Colin Kaepernick" thread idea.

 

[Risen Star]

It's hard to imagine he could get worse.

The best player on the team hasn't gotten rolling yet and that is because the best position group on the team isn't playing up to their standard. Prescott will be fine once Zeke gets rolling and the OL gets into a groove.

He is a complete product of Zeke and the OL. Still baffled how people didn't realize that Zeke was Offensive player of the year and Rookie of the year last year. But, I digress, Dak will be fine once the running game becomes dominant again.

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.

What if he gets better?

What if he gets better?

I'd be ecstatic like everyone else.

Come on. The excuses always. Dude he is not an accurate passer. Im not bashing the guy. Its just a fact. Why is it impossible for people just to admit it. He has to get better. Defenses are playing to stop the run taking away the under routes ( why Beasley has been silent so far ) and daring Dak to beat them down field. So far Dak has shown he is not capable of it yet. Also look at that second half. The first few drives we we ran no more than 8 plays on either drive. Our defense was on the field way too long. The league has figured him out. Its just a fact. He has to some how get better or this team is in a world of trouble. Sure im not blaming just him. Of course not. But its crazy when anyone says a bad word about Dak people always make excuses and say its other peoples fault. Its funny how when we won 13 games he got all the credit. You cant have it both ways people. Alot is on him. He has to get better. Lets see how it plays out. Its going to be harder to run the ball this year for the reasons i mentioned. So Dak is a game manager. He needs a running game. He has to improve his accuracy and find a way to keep defenses more honest. If not its going to be more of the same. Again its not all his fault. This is why it drove me mad when I had to read this team is a lock for the SB. They have alot of flaws. Yea so do many other teams. I get it. But lets see how it plays out. As a fan, im worried about Dak. No sure its so early in his career and we have no choice but to let him grow. Im all for that and im behind the guy. This league is not easy. Again this is why i could not understand people saying he is a top 5 QB. No he is not. Not even close. And who the hell cares right not if he is not. He does not have to be. Just work on improving getting better. Time will tell.

The same applies to your shtick.

Dude, he was accurate last year, 67%. That was just a fact. And the great HOF Troy Aikman was 61.5% during the regular season in his career. (not playoffs, regular season)

 

[erod]

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

It's not up to them anymore. They just gave him $45 million for two years on franchise tags.

I've read that he wants to reunite with Mike Shanahan in San Francisco. The Commanders have no other options than to outspend the 49ers and hope he wants to stay in the end.

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

We are past 'gonna get' LOL

Your analysis is incorrect. Again, I'll admit he has missed a few throws, but his receivers are not getting open. He has had to fit his passes is tight windows (and is top ten at doing that BTW).





He did not get all the credit for winning 13 games. In fact, our oline (deservingly so) got most of the credit. They have not played well this year.

Dak need more help from his WR on critical plays








This isn't to say Dak doesn't need to get better--he absolutely does. But I truly believe he is not the main issue with this offense.

 

[Bleedblue1111]

Then they would have a high draft pick to target a more accurate QB in the draft. So why spend that much on Cousins? He has plenty of errand throws himself.

I don't see it happening though. Dak will put it all together soon, and start carving up defenses. Yes, I still believe he is that good.

 

[Mind_Liberator]

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.

You really expect 5 oline-men to effectively block 7-8 guys every play? You really think it's reasonable to need your receivers to be wide open consistently? Dak himself admits how garbage he has been this year yet we're here blaming everyone else!

 

[Proof]

Cousins has really grown on me. I like him quite a bit. With that said, hell no

 

[Hardline]

Well, if worse comes to worse the 2018 draft is loaded with top tier QBs.
