The offensive system is definitely flawed, as is the coaching staff. But that doesn't mean we can't evaluate Dak. Me personally, I see red flags which you give a pass to because of Garrett and company. We also have to take into consideration that maybe the offense is limited because of things Dak doesn't do very well. The back shoulder throw has been completely taken out of the playbook. It was something that Dez did pretty well, especially at the goal line when he was single covered.
Dak's running ability has added a dimension to the offense but he lacks the accuracy to throw receivers open or go down field. His biggest plays downfield, like last weeks pass to TWill, were out of the pocket when the play broke down and the coverage was busted. This doesn't mean he can't improve. But I was surprised when he ran out of gas on two consecutive 10 yard runs near the end of the half which raised some concerns about his conditioning, at least to me.
He's got some real red flags that some folks just choose to ignore. If not for the turnover that led to a TD (on a Prescott run), the offense and Dak was pretty inept. Like I said, when your team is basically devastated when you lose a LT and RB, it's built wrong. The only player a team could ill afford to lose should be the "franchise" QB. Dak is a natural leader and he's good when all the pieces are in place. But no team is going to go through a whole season and not deal with injuries.
