Now, everybody has unhealthy video games, however I really feel like that’s Dallas on the whole — blowing individuals out, getting killed by San Francisco.”
One other exec added: “They do good things on offense, they’ve sufficient weapons and Dak can execute. After they play the actually good groups and the strain will get on him, it could possibly get hit and miss. I wish to see Dak do it when it issues.”
The purpose about Prescott needing to show himself past simply the 17-game common season is properly taken.
His drawback has by no means been performing properly from September via early January. Prescott has accomplished 65% of his passes in eight of 9 seasons, thrown 22 or extra touchdowns seven instances, had a passer score of 99 or higher 5 instances and thrown for 3,500 yards or extra 5 instances.
