Prove it.

JG says Butler and Dak not on the same page. That only 1 of the ints were on Dak. Said he made two bad decisions and only one of those were intercepted.

Dak said that he expected Butler to straighten out but he curled instead.


As far as more 'proof', why in the world do I have to prove something to you? It was very clear to me after watching the tape. Not sure how you could possibly see it as a bad throw..

While I agree that game was the worst of his career and a pretty terrible performance overall, generalizing it as something that would make us all question his ability to play QB is a stretch.

Tom Brady's worst game:
14 of 28 for 123yds, 4 int 0TD 22.5 Passer Rating. Lost 31-0 (2003)
Aaron Rodgers Worst Game:
17 of 42 for 185yds. 2 INT Lost 21-13 (2014)
P. Manning had a 6 int game.
Big Ben had a 5 int game. 15 for 35 with 5 int?? He must not know how to play QB..

Dak looks terrible at times and other times, drops dimes into very tight coverage. That game had several plays that could have turned the tide but it didn't work out that way. I'd suggest we give him more time than to fall back on his draft status and say 'Gee, they were right after all'. If he doesn't work out, the Cowboys may need to do a wild draft day trade to get a new QB unless you think Copper Rush is the answer?

It's in everyone's best interest that Dak is our franchise QB.

Agree. Lived through the QB search days, so to me Dak is fine.... Even the great ones have bad games. Also I think Romo had a 4-5 int game against Buffalo one year.

Two biggest needs this offseason are WR and LB, by far IMO.

 

[RomoFor6]

I think Dante Pettis or Calvin Ridley would be a great fit here

 

[Kevinicus]

I am sure they know this,they are just risk averse and they have made it a priority to not let Dak throw balls into crowded areas.

They have done this since Garrett was left to his own devices in 2008.

It’s not that we don’t have speed. We do not know how to utilize speed!!

Butler runs a 4.37 40

I agree on all of it. But I dont think Butler is that good honestly. Bryant is a great receiver.

 

[DallasDW00ds0n]

Twill and Butler can run, but can Dak hit them? I believe Dak has trouble looking and throwing accurately deep.

 

[percyhoward]

yes but how accurate is DAK

Accurate enough to hit 71% of his 15+yard targets not named Bryant.

 

[Gameover]

How about deep in the middle of the field? Haven't seen any. Daks best throw. Sideline deep is not his best throw

We need players chasing rabbits in practice!

I agree but if our guys are not threats to take something to the house like we were trying to do...how effective could it be? I realize Dak's smoke screens left a lot to be desired last game but generally, speed kills and we don't have any.

I strongly disagree. Our entire WR core has more than enough speed. It was effective last year, because no one knew what Dak in an NFL offense would look like, and we had better protection. This year, they know what's going on, our line isn't as good for different variables, and our coaches are too stupid to draw up anything but a vanilla, repetitive, predictable offense.

Should have traded for Martavius Bryant while he was in the dog house. But hey, at least we have great blocking receivers. LOL

Even last year they weren't good enough. We have had this issue for years and they keep ignoring it. It is magnified by having a TE who isnt a threat.

Couple that with horrible coaching and you can see why this happens when we lose the one guy a defense has to gameplan for.

You really miss the boat in analyzing dont you? Just goes right over your head.

We can at least agree on Witten. Time to hang the shoes up.
