When the Dallas Cowboys decided to move on from Tony Romo and named Dak Prescott the permanent quarterback, they knew it was a risk, but they had high hopes for his play and development. After an excellent rookie season, Prescott had a sophomore slump that made for some cause concern.
As the quarterback, Prescott is the focal point of the offense which means all eyes have been on him during training camp and according to reports from The Athletic he has been a big disappointment.
We’re only seven practices into training camp and Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott continues to struggle. Thursday’s practice featured another day of inconsistent play from Prescott. He displays a strong arm, smarts and the ability to move well in the pocket. He’s just not making the necessary plays.
Prescott has unofficially thrown three interceptions and just one touchdown in the team periods. His touch on some throws is way off and he continues to dump passes down to running back Zeke Elliott and any tight end within five-to-seven yards near him. Prescott has completed a few deep passes, like a pretty throw he made to Tavon Austin, but there are times you wonder why he doesn’t make the simple play.
With such a young receiving corps and new faces in the wide receivers room, this is important for training camp for Prescott and the Cowboys.
The Cowboys need Prescott to step up, make the right decisions and have a big year if the Cowboys want to compete in the NFC East. That all starts with better plays in training camp and it better happen soon, or there is going to be some real panic setting in for America's Team.
