Dak Prescott didn't get to be Dak Prescott by making the same mistakes over and over again.
You can see it in his steady progress throughout his career as a Bulldog, and even moreso now in Dallas.
He is a student of the game.
He described himself as the "smartest QB in the draft." He studies, watches films, looks for mistakes, and tries to improve every game.
I don't know what to say about Fitz. I don't question his heart. He gave everything he had tonight.
I don't question his ability (or rather, his potential ability). I think he has the tools to become a pretty good QB for us.
BUT .....
He keeps making the same mistakes, and it has cost the team. Every game except for Auburn has been a winnable game for us. And, as much of a ***** as Andre Ware was tonight and last week as color commentator, he pointed out, correctly, that Fitz's continuing failure to make a pre-snap read has been the key to the offense's lack of success.
Now, that doesn't account for dropped passes (yeah I'm looking at you Fred), or missed blocks, or even the semi-predictable play-calling by DM. But, like it or not, a lot of the responsibility for the lack of execution by the offense boils down to Fitz's decisions.
This week in practice, I would like to see Williams and Tiano get the snaps so the coaches can determine which one of the two should be the first to come off the bench if needed. And, I would like to see Fitz spend the whole week in the film room with the QB coach, and maybe listen to Andre Ware's comments. Ware pointed out so many missed opportunities that would have changed the outcome of the game, if not the entire season to this point.
Most everybody can relate to cramming for finals, hell I learned a whole semester of Labor Econ in a weekend of reading and gallons of coffee. Fitz needs to do the same thing and learn how to be an SEC QB. For his entire career, he has relied on his natural athletic ability to get him by. That was fine for high school, but not any more.
It's hard to believe he carried the clipboard, and watched the best QB in MSU's history and didn't learn more than he did. The only conclusion I can come to is that he is as dumb as a box of rocks, or he just isn't trying to learn his position. At this point, the only thing we know is that the approach he is taking is sadly not working.
Ignorance can be educated. Crazy can be medicated. But you can't fix stupid.
