At this point the Dallas Cowboys may need more than an accurate quarterback, they may also need a consistent wide receiver. Troy Aikman had a few things to say about Dak Prescott’s struggles Tuesday on The Musers on The Ticket [KTCK 96.7FM/1310AM] per Sports Daily.
“I’ve said for many, many years, as long as I can ever remember, when I’m asked, ‘Hey, what do you look for first in a quarterback?’ The first thing I look for is accuracy because the rest of it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter how tough you are. It doesn’t matter how smart you are or what a great leader you are. None of that stuff matters if you can’t put the ball where you have to put it. I’ve seen too many errant throws in that regard, and then there needs to be a little more anticipation.”
Aikman continued,
“When there’s two deep safeties, you’re looking for somebody to take the middle of the field, and that should be your first read if you have somebody who is taking the middle of the field versus those kinds of looks. I don’t see the great anticipation on what a defense is doing and how might I be able to exploit that pre-snap or as the ball is snapped.”
Yes, he’s struggling but there’s also the issue on dropped passes and inconsistent play from your receivers. By all means. I’m not solely blaming the wideouts but something needs to change. Hell Romo is healthy enough to come back and last time I checked Kaepernick is still out there…
