Your concern with Dak's interceptions, scale of 1-10

[nate dizzle]

8. And I don't care whose fault they are. Turnovers get you bounced quickly in the playoffs.

He’s releasing the football. He’s trusting his receivers. I have no issue with it. It’s better than holding onto the ball too long and getting sacked.

It's hard to say. Int have never been a problem for dak so what we're seeing now is the exception.

. Against playoff teams, we may not be able to rebound as quickly from turnovers.

Oh, we won't, no question.........EVERY playoff mistake is costly

 

[big dog cowboy]

Remember we had penalty issues all last season? Guess what cost us in the playoffs?

Stopping the run.

its concerning because of playoffs and the elevated level of play. I gabve it an 8, because some of it comes because of more aggressive play which is needed, and that some of it is not really his fault with the volleyball play of some of the recievers.

I heard and saw with my own eyes about 5 were not on him at all other than the fact he was the QB throwing the football at the time. If these were on mahomes then the media would be saying how these passes were not on him and move on.

What does make me mad is like his last pick. He threw it trying to get points before the half. He stares it down and then throws it behind him.. With the defender right there he threw it behind the TE.. And I think Elliot was open..

1=no concern vs 10=very concern

Same as his jersey number.

Stopping the run.

Stupid penalties.
We stopped the 49ers on fourth down right before our failed spike.
We would have gotten the ball back sooner.
But lo and behold, Randy Gregory decides to take the Niners offensive tackle to the ground.
First down, 49ers.
We get the ball back after we hold them.
Well, you know the rest of the story.

yeah its an issue but alot of them are hitting receivers in their hands

then you have some that make me think hes trying to mimic another #4

 

[MyFairLady]

LOL your QB who was once a rushing beast with incredible efficiency is turning into a pocket statue INT machine and you are not worried.

 

[Hardline]

10.
Turnovers will cost you games.

 

[Rockport]

1=no concern vs 10=very concern

I will say this.......I like that he's still being aggressive but these issues have a way of showing up in the playoffs where the margin is razor-thin. Remember we had penalty issues all last season? Guess what cost us in the playoffs?

2 for me as these int’s are being blown way out of proportion. Half of them aren’t even his fault but the talking heads and fans who don’t watch the games just look at the # and go all Karen. One Karen creates many Karen’s and then you get CowboysZone.

When you scale out beyond only Dak and view football as a team game :

Tied with 7 other teams for 7th worst in total turnovers. The majority of the league (17 teams) is separated by 2 turnovers over 16 games- 19-21 total turnovers. Which means the Cowboys aren’t really a turnover prone team, they are right in line with the league average.

And also MOST importantly- #1 in total team turnover differential.

That also didn't include that goalline pick against the Texans. His arm was hit, and because Josh Ball was caught leaning and in bad position to block the rusher.

Also didn't include the Colts pick that Gallup fell down.

The only 5 picks that I'd say was Dak's fault was Tampa, Chicago, Giants the 2nd pick, Eagles, and Titans the 2nd. First 2 were also a long time ago in obsolete games.

Who pulled Daks string to force him to throw? A couple of those in the video were absoutley Daks fault even in the WR did run the route incorrectly. For example the one the CD in GB over the middle. Did CD run the wrong route maybe. Where there still 3 defenders in the area, good route or not, yes. Was the TE WIDE OPEN in the flat, Yes. Dak has to see the D and decide where to throw the ball. He elected to go for the big shot even though it would have taken him threading the needle even if CD ran the proper route. He should have have saw the middle was closed and checked to the TE and picked up 10-15 yards and move on to the next play. Same thing with the one to CD in the endzone where the TE didn't do his job on the clear route. He has to see that, and throw it somewhere else or throw it away.

the ones bouncing off hands is no brainer not his fault, like the one to Brown in OT and the one to the TE against Tenn. But he needs to take what is there and quit forcing it into coverage when it is not absoutley neccessary.

 

[Cowboy4ever]

8 not really about Dak though. I want him to continue to be aggressive but smarter at the same time. But dude is snake bit right now where every bobble seems to turn into an INT to go along with his bad decsions. That has me worried some.

 

[SDCowboy]

5... he needs to get them under control, but he doesn't have a history of high interceptions

10. Mr turnover machine will personally lose the game in the playoffs. 1 and done. You can't have the QB throw 2 interceptions and fumble it once and expect to win. The "I told you so's" will run rampant.
