I wish it wasn't so but this team has problems and Dak is a big one. He can't/won't throw downfield and has gravitated to being captain checkdown/game manager, thus generally no picks. He doesn't find open receivers often, has become less accurate with more pressure and has been exposed without Zeke. If any of you watch the full 22 tapes it's very easy to see.
Teams have tape on him and are stacking the box, daring him to beat them, and he can't do it. Opponents only need cover 20 yards of the field. He can't get on the same page as Dez and the 2 minute drill with Dak is a joke.
He is a very good player, and all of these things will improve with more experience, but a year ago this team made a huge mistake when they ditched Romo. The 10-1 or whatever start last year was much more about the line and Zeke, and opening up the play action than Dak's skills. Like Romo or not, this team was built for him and he had a couple more great years left, if he could stay healthy of course, which was a big if.
