Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott just cannot win these past few weeks. First, Prescott was crucified by people all over the country for his National Anthem comments, the media killed him and the offense for failing to score a touchdown in the first week of camp and now, his play has just been plain terrible.

Last season, Prescott struggled with bad accuracy issues and inconsistency and he has carried that with him into training camp this year.
Another problem? Throwing it to the wrong team. Not only is Dak missing throws, but he’s been getting picked off. He threw two interceptions on just a few plays apart in Monday’s practice, one being an ill-advised pass across the field to a receiver just a few yards from the line of scrimmage.

“Another overshoot” were the two words Cowboys fans definitely didn’t want to hear. Dak was good at overthrowing and/or underthrowing guys last season and it’s unsettling for Dallas fans to see that tradition continue.
After such a promising rookie season and winning AP Offensive Rookie of the Year, Dak just cannot seem to figure it out. Hopefully these are just an anomaly.
