Yeah, and to be fair, no one is absolving the game plan and play calling. These routes are designed to be easy, short throws on second and five to pick up "UP TO" five yards and a first. The clearer objective is a quick throw short of the sticks that will allow the receiver to rumble towards the line to gain. If he's stopped short, we then face a third and 1 or third and 2 and obviously the staff believes Elliott will pick that up. Those throws need to come out quickly, though, and I don't know the outcome of that play but I bet they didn't.
And to answer my question, no. He held the ball too long and passed to Austin for -1 yards.Yeah, and to be fair, no one is absolving the game plan and play calling.

Still, throwing short like this over and over again is the 3 yards and a cloud of dust approach, just through the air, and it doesn't work. We can't string long drives together, because as I've said, inevitably, the defense will make a play to put us in a long yardage down and distance at some point. Secondly, because this is all we throw, they cheat up and fill the box, making it harder to run. It's killing both the running game and passing game that we aren't airing it out. It's insane.
But Prescott should also be well-able to make this play work to generate no worse than a third and short. Did he?
I misremembered your rankings then.I had Dak's play 3rd and said its basically interchangeable with the pass protection at 2, how is that at the bottom?
If I'm thinking of the correct play that was on Austin. Je ran back to try and get around.And to answer my question, no. He held the ball too long and passed to Austin for -1 yards.
The saddest part is that we let the Eagles outmaneuver us for Wentz.What a turn of events since 2016.
It’s sad that this bum pushed Romo out the door. Although, I’m certain Romo needed to get out before he was permanently disabled.
The sad part of all this is, the defense is better than it’s been in a long, long time. It’s too bad Dak isn’t even capable of being a stop-gap bus driver.
Time to start planning for a veteran QB in the offseason, or hopefully they suck enough to maybe get a franchise QB in one of the next two drafts.
Last year in the little I watched Dak, I figured Zeke being suspended, on top of the bad coaching, that Dak would be okay.The saddest part is that we let the Eagles outmaneuver us for Wentz.
That 4-12 season was a godsend. It should have allowed us to be aggressive and select our franchise QB of the future with the benefit of retaining a franchise QB of the present. There were two options and BOTH were on the table, as the Browns and Titans both traded out. We all could see Romo's days were numbered. We all liked Goff and Wentz. QB is the most important thing in today's league, bar none.
We should have done whatever it took to land one of them.
And we didn't. Our GM got bested again, and the Eagles won the Super Bowl because of it.
It’s going to be okay.Dak is done.
Anyone with eyes can see it.
He can't even throw accurately on short routes anymore.
Yeah, I'd agree.1. Dak

That's like keeping Garrett while we wait for first round picks at every spot.I'd like to see Dak for at least a year under a real coach before pulling plug. He went from great 1st year to ok 2nd year and now mediocre (and thats a stretch) w the shittiest receiving talent in the league and perhaps the worst coaching the league has ever seen.
If he keeps regressing into his 5th year, bring in a vet like Stafford or Rivers who will be aiming for a championship late in their career.
