Stepnoski was pretty good and an outstanding technician. Pound for pound though, Ray Donaldson was pretty darn good even though we got him later in his career and only had him for 2 seasons.

You're talking 2 coaches in the history of the NFL. And two of the greatest coaches in NFL history, no less. The odds of us finding one of these guys is rare. If that's what it's going to take to help Dak improved, we're fucked. Is that what you're hanging your hat on? Really?

Further to the C debate earlier. Derek Kennard was a dependable, savvy pro who started at C during the Superbowl XXX run.

Do you think its hopeless for Dak to improve in the areas he is weak in?
I have my doubts but I remember reading about how Romo accuracy wasn't that great when he came into the league and then he obsessively practiced all the time, wearing out David Lee, his couch and his buddies practicing obsessively. Seems like accuracy is a muscle memory issue (& arm strength to a degree) that can be improved.
pocket awareness, reading defenses and anticipation I'm not so sure
I'm still hopeful for Dak but I have many of the concerns you've mentioned

which begs the question, who's making good decisions at the ranch because for all our criticisms, I have to acknowledge there appears to be some pretty good stuff going on with the cowboys

Nah, I'm gonna Zoner out and hope a Big 12 offensive "guru" can save us.
Or maybe Mike McCarthy, even though his allpro QB thinks he sux and has a stake offense that ranks about the same as ours (or worse) most years lately.

Right, but that proves my point. Coaching matters. Prescott wont get it from Garrett and Linehan, but he might from someone else.
Well we have had two of the all-time best ever here.
Let me ask you this, do you believe Garrett is "average" or "run of the mill"?
Or is he lousy?
Now granted, Jerry has only hired one really great coach since he owned the team here (although he had the right idea with Parcells, who was just burned out and only cared about the money IMO by the time we got him) but unless you believe Garrett is good or about average, then at least TRYING to make a chance to give Prescott a better chance would seem to make sense.
Personally, I think Garrett is really lousy and so is Linehan. The odds we'd get somebody just as bad (or worse) are relatively slim IMO.
