Who is actually working with Dak to fix these issue?

[Coogiguy03]

I agree but I heard recently from Mike fisher (works at the star) on his show that the reason kitna isn't around anymore is because he was the only one willing to get in daks face and curse him out after mistakes lol

They let him go and told him "we don't do that here" according to fisher.

Of course lol Jerry like oh no be nice to him be nice to him

Come on man lol.....Kurt Warner is not our saviour lol. He can't save us from Jerry.

Jerry can replace Dak with any other QB, but as long as the passing schemes and routes stay the same, nothing is going to change. Kurt Warner showed on the videograph what was wrong and why, plus how to fix it.

 

[5Stars]

The past is in the past. Everything can get fixed if Jerry picks up the phone and calls Kurt Warner.

Kurt Warner is to old to play QB.

Dak’s problems are between the ears. Maybe he needs some sort of therapy that helps him deal with stress. And I’m not being facetious. He needs to learn to be calm in pressure situations.

Actually, I read that he suffers from anxiety. If that's true, what medication is he taking and is it working? ? Is he having anxiety attacks before games? Is he consulting with a sports psychologist? This is something that may not ever be solved during his career.

Is it the OC/the head coach/QB coach? These year after year struggles obviously aren't being addressed. Sure he's the face of this team, but still he's not above being coached up. At year 8 this shouldn't be an issue. I think this summer instead of having players over to get timing down etc, he needs to lock in and focus on the SMALL things that he needs to work on, please give your thoughts.

Dak seemed to have the most success when Mark Sanchez was around to mentor him. I will say, I have seen improvements in his physical game this year. His mechanics have been more consistent. But the mental part of the game I don't think can be coached up. If a guy is prone to anxiety and tenseness in big games, I think that is just who he is. The best you can do is keep him in the game until it wears off. Against GB, the Cowboys got too far behind and the defense quit.

He had a great regular season and.was an MVP candidate. How are you going to improve on that? Just has a fatal flaw. He’s a choker. You can’t spend any more time and energy. Damaged product and all on him to change. Time and money should be spent on making sure we find the next quarterback, and don’t sink the franchise too much in that process.

I think of guys like John Elway or Steve Young, who were visibly and emotionally satisfied when they shook off the monkey and won their first Super Bowl. They were known as chokers too. But these are Hall of Fame quarterbacks, and they already had plenty of history along the way. These guys weren’t getting stuck at the first playoff game, I just don’t know if there is any solution for Dak.

That's a little out of focus...

Know what America won the war for independence? Simple, the knowledge of war was itself much weaker than that of the British. That is similar to Dallas playing the strength teams come playoffs.

Know what the difference in the outcome of the war was? The Americans were a lot tougher in team actions. They simply were tougher and fought harder in all venues. This is a fact in football where the battle is the goal. Instead of training and smart thinking in schemes get them tough and then sophisticate.

That requires focus on both leadership and training as well as sophistication in evaluation real strengths and weaknesses against a tough opponent. Not just one that can be dominated by more talent, The Cowboys have invested in strong talent and retainable. Now make them tough and accountable as well.

A look pretty team doesn't carry the field...just in games 'easier' games.

Naw, that is a trained response mechanism when behind. That can be changed if focus is brought in on responses and pressure, not a static confidence level he still carries in his lapse of executions. His job can be easily honed in upon...and it all doesn't hinge on his own excitement levels instead.

Ok man......you really believe this so I won't argue against it. I'll just say you can change everything and it won't matter if the same guys are here. And Jerry is still here and has been.

 

[HungryLion]

I mean. I’ve been more patient with Dak than a lot of folks.

He has had 3 OC’s now. Multiple different QB coaches.

None of them have gotten him to advance in the playoffs.

Ok, so why watch? Why follow the team? It's the same question I asked my twin brother. Dont people get ired of itching, moaning and nonstop complaining? Why be miserable?

 

[SuspectCorner]

Dak seems to have difficulty with the ‘read progression’ - a tendency to lock onto his primary target and a heavy reliance on the ‘dumpoff to the flat.’

He’s not peripherally seeing the field quite like the great ones - especially when the game is BIG and the opponent is daunting.

 

[IceBowler]

Dak is not the problem. The scheme is. Same scheme and routes not being fixed. Kurt Warner touched on this. Said same stuff that he's seen the past 2 - 3 playoffs. Cowboys coaches are not paying attention and making the proper changes, thus setting up their QB and WRs to fail.

If that's the case, and I'm not saying it isn't .. WHY do these shortcomings seem to work so well during the regular season? Is it simply a factor of playing better teams? Would seem to me that if all one has to do is disguise pre and post snap coverages, EVERY professional team might manage that?

What I saw on the sidelines after GB scores first, was a Dallas QB who was scared to death. His eyes were as big as saucers; even remarked to people in the room that, "Dak's terrified. We're toast."

right now dak is focused on his new honey, and buying expensive things with the millions he has, and the millions that are coming!
What does he need a championship for?? or a SB ring? heck he makes enough to buy a ring that makes any SB ring look cheap.

many qb's do same thing, it depends on how much time they have, which usually isnt much.
A QB can be sacked or running fro D linemen etc before they have time to go to 2nd read or a 3rd read.
This is all on the oc and general offense guys and HC, to work out these issues which they usually cant.

There is no fix for Prescott.

If anything it will get worse next season as the pressure ramps up even more.

I’ve given up on him.

Too bad the FO won’t.

 

[Fmart322]

He needs to se a psychologist.

 

[Beaker42]

very good point, I just hope someone gets with him really hard this year, get over this hump and get us a ring

Not gonna happen - he’s a loser with loser habits and traits.

 

[khiladi]

This is year 8, 3 different OCs have worked with Dak. He is what he is. This was his best year since his rookie season but it was against lesser competition.

Very simple offense…. Like McCoy said, dumbed down to half the field, but like you said the talent gap was that big: It’s going to get worse and worse as defenses in the NFC East get used to it.

 

[khiladi]

You can’t improve processing speed. What happened always happens. You make him go off his first read and it’s over. He can’t process quickly enough.

This whole off-season was meant to address it. Move out of the pocket after the early reads aren’t there. A lot of his plays this year we’re built off breakdowns in coverage when he extended plays, meaning lack of discipline by bar defenses. Some times he was able to beat zone by taking off. They’ve been tailoring and tweeking the offense for Dak for 8 years running.
