Is Dak Prescott actually bad, and just looked good with a good offensive line and running back to help him? Hot takes welcome.

We'll find out.

Dez is done, who knows when Tyron is coming back, and Zeke going out of the country to "clear is head" is at the least incredibly ominous.

I am sure the Chiefs could find a way to lose to the Titans, and if they can't, they can DEFINITELY find a way to lose to the Steelers.

I'm working from home today and like to have the TV on as background noise. The Today Show just did this piece on concussions that was extremely frustrating because it can't shoo away from "WE NEED R FOOTBALL!" even when it brings up concussion problems for a hot second. You shouldn't watch this but I had to go through it so some one else should have to.

Quick reads is pretty much just about Nathan Peterman's game: http://www.footballoutsiders.com/quick-reads/2017/week-11-quick-reads

quote:

We can account for that by looking dividing DYAR by dropbacks. This should give us a reasonable measurement of who sucked the most in the least amount of plays. Dalton, for example, had -240 passing DYAR in 31 passes and five sacks, 36 total dropbacks. That works out to -6.7 DYAR per dropback. Peterman, meanwhile, had -213 DYAR in only 14 plays, a ratio of -15.2 DYAR per dropback that is more than twice as bad as Dalton's. In fact, it's worse than any game Dalton ever played. It's worse than any game ever for Blaine Gabbert, or Josh McCown, or Ryan Leaf, or any of the other horrible quarterbacks you could probably think of. In nearly 30 years of quarterback statistics, we only found two players who had -200 passing DYAR in a game, and also had a DYAR-per-dropback figure worse than Peterman's against L.A.:
* In Week 17 of 1997, the Indianapolis Colts were playing the Minnesota Vikings and rotated Jim Harbaugh and Kelly Holcomb at quarterback in what would be their 13th loss of the season. Holcomb was worse by far, going 5-of-8 for 29 yards with no touchdowns, three interceptions, two sacks, and two fumbles. That's -231 passing DYAR in only 10 dropbacks, a breathtaking rate of -23.1 DYAR per dropback.
* Again in Week 17, this time in 2006, the Chicago Bears had already won 13 games and clinched home-field advantage in the NFC, and they pulled Rex Grossman at halftime of a 26-7 loss to Green Bay. Grossman was pulled to save him for the playoffs, but his performance warranted a benching anyway: 2-of-12 for 33 yards with no touchdowns, three interceptions, and a sack. That's -217 passing DYAR in 13 dropbacks, an average of -16.7 apiece.

But we got to see all the throws Tyrod wasn't making. Like the ones to cornerbacks or safeties or linebackers...

Dak is good, but was over-hyped because his supporting cast (on offense) was just awesome last year. It has gone to poo poo fast this year though - LT gone, #1 RB gone, #1 WR turned to poo poo - and the Cowboys depth once you get past their "big names" is pure garbage. Also Sean Lee died on cue, and all their other linebackers are poo poo so the defense instantly died (like always.)

The worst was losing Tyron Smith, once he went out the entire offensive line imploded hard, and the coaches have done an awful job adjusting blocking against edge rushers, so Dak took 12 sacks in 2 games which just lol nope.

Beyond that, Jason Garrett insists on trying to cosplay as the mid-90s Cowboys even though his line turned to rear end, his counterfeit Emmitt is suspended and his Irvin knock-off has boneitis and is out of cocaine.

1st Sgt. Matthews and the men have Procured for me a cummerbund from a traveling gypsy, who screeched Victory shall come at a Terrible price. i am Honored.

Surprised Hundley was above zero.

Dude looked like Brian Brohm out there, without having the excuse that he hasn't had enough practice in the NFL. He had all the college qb yips, the happy feet, throwing off his back foot, holding on to the ball too long, staring down wrs.

Watching that first int against the Ravens was a perfect example - Cobb was completely uncovered in the slot, he rushes the snap and throws it to him - but instead of a dart, it's a fade to the outside, right where the defender on the outside wr is standing. Just no comprehension.

Sean McDermott should be fired if he plays Peterman ever again.

I'll repeat, going into that game the Bills were the 6th seed in the AFC.
