Are there any plays/concepts/routes that you can think of that we used this past season or in previous season under MM that Dak will be allowed to keep to help him run the offense. Is there any routes you feel that he excels well at, the coaches will feel the same about. Or, will Shotty change it up a lot to get this offense to be more balanced and efficient. Yes we've had good offenses over the years in terms of stats, but were they good when we needed them to be (in the red zone, playoffs, or in critical points of a game?) Please give your thoughts
Hand the ball off to a RB

We need to get rid of the ones where he plays QB

Shouldn’t have to tell you this. It’s called methodical, dink and dunk, that’s what fits him.

It's not about helping, Dak. IMHO.... The scenario is completely wrong when saying build an offense to help Dak. What we should be saying is make Dak help the offense. Top quarterbacks make their offense work. The top 4 quarterbacks in the league make their offense versus their offenses making them. What needs to be done is making an offense that Dak likes. Thus Schotty. That's what he's going to do.

Halfback passes the ball
WR passes the ball
Punter passes the ball
Center sneak
Direct snap to RB while Dak "pretends" to communicate with the TE
Take Dak out of the game & run packages with athletic QB
Recruit Mr. Fantastic to snare those off-target passes

sorry, most of these aren't carrover. misread your question.

The 3 WR, 2 TE, 1 RB Formation.

Snap directly to the RB.


This formation will help Prescott hide his deficiencies.

Make the defense count to 3 Mississippi before they rush.
Exactly! Make every play like a kick off.

He has to declare a pass play and the intended receiver. Defense can't move until the ball is released.

His turnovers don't count.
Completing any pass longer than 3 yards is an automatic first down, except when the receiver is named Lamb. Lamb has to make the necessary yardage.
First play of the game and first play after the half must be a jet sweep. Defense can go until the runner turns upfield.
If a field goal is good, we get to keep kicking until a miss occurs.

Any defensive player who touches Qak is ejected. A tackle brings a lifetime ban.

Pop Warner Wing T might be easy enough for him to understand

With the injury he has it's probably never going to be for him to go under center! I would love love love love love to see him be under center more and doing play action etc, giving him the ability to already be in a stand up position is probably comforting to him with the leg injury who knows!
So he didnt do it pre latest injury.....what makes you think he's going to start now? He doesnt like play-action as he cant read a post-defense, to play-action he's going to need to sell it (and face the RB).......the problem starts when he has turn and read the post snap (especially Safeties, which are his nemesis). That's one of the reasons they introduced the TCO, dumbed down, to snap and throw or check-down. The more time he takes going through any progression increases the anxiety (especially now he has got his legs).
We'll be getting back to the curl.....because that's what suits his abilities.
