Tale of the tape: Dak Prescott’s mechanics are failing him, and time is running out to fix them

It has been an ugly start in 2018 for third-year quarterback Dak Prescott. Through five weeks, Prescott is ranked 24th in yards, 28th in passer rating, 31st in completion percentage, and 32nd in average yards per completion. These numbers are absolutely unacceptable, and this is coming from someone who has been a big supporter of Dak Prescott since coming into the league in 2016. There are plenty of questions surrounding the scheme, play-calling, and personnel surrounding Prescott, but there are things he can improve on first that have nothing to do with any of that other stuff.
