Dallas Cowboys’ Dak Prescott is George Pickens’ first high-end QB | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

the Steelers will either look like geniuses or imbeciles for trading George Pickkins to the Dallas Cowboys for a third round pick. The morning that trade happened, we got Jason Garrett, the former Cowboys coach on PFT Live, to give his reaction, and he provided a take that I haven’t seen or heard anywhere else. But to be candid, I don’t spend a lot of my time looking and listening to what others have to say. Number one, it’s all I can do to listen to myself. Number two, I never want to be accused of stealing someone else’s take. And number three, I just don’t really care what other people think. I care what I think. Okay. But Garrett’s take that I have yet to see or hear anywhere else with the caveat previously mentioned is that Dak Prescott is going to be the key person in the relationship between George Pickkins and the Dallas Cowboys. And when you think about it, Pickkins has never had a high-end quarterback. He arrived the year after Ben Rothersberger retired. So he had Kenny Picket for two years and we know how that went and last year he had the Justin Fields Russell Wilson adequate but not great combination. Pickkins has shown that he’s got high-end skills. And when you see what Dak Prescott is saying about Pickkins, it really makes me wonder, have we finally reached the point where a Steelers receiver who was disgruntled in Pittsburgh, who goes elsewhere, actually does better elsewhere than he did in Pittsburgh? The usual approach is guy that was pretty good if not great in Pittsburgh. Once it ends there and he goes elsewhere, it really doesn’t it doesn’t pan out. For the guys who were, you know, disgruntled in some way. Here’s what Dak Prescott recently said via dallascowboys.com about Pickkins. Go turn on his tape. He’s getting separation. He’s got separation even when he’s not getting the ball at times. And when he doesn’t have separation, he’s still making the catches. It’s not going to be hard for me. It’s about getting the ball near that guy and he will be George Pickkins. Go turn on the tape. He’s great at doing it. Yes. Yes. You know, it’s become very popular to crap on George Pickkins. But if you watch him play, and I’ve been saying this for years, he’s the guy who’s open when he’s not open. He’s the guy who will contort his body in midair to make the contested catch, and he can get separation. They just didn’t use him enough. That’s the great irony, if I’m using the word properly, and again, I never know, in the Steelers paying 30 million a year to DK Medaf, a guy who was never used properly by the Seahawks. The Steelers are bringing to town a guy who was never used properly by his longtime team to replace a guy that they didn’t know how to use properly. And it begs the question, will they know how to use DK Metaf properly? And will the Cowboys use George Pickkins properly? and will he benefit from extra attention paid to CD Lamb? And then when Pickkins starts making the highlight reel catches, will they rotate the coverage toward him? And then CD Lamb starts going off. Look, I don’t know what the Cowboys are going to be this year. I’ I’d feel better about them if they had a better running game, frankly. And I feel like from a talent standpoint, they’re not good enough to compete with the Eagles and the Commanders, but but they may be on to something with George Pickkins. And it it just it’s a fascinating Steelers Cowboys unofficial rivalry. Did the Steelers get it really wrong? Did the Cowboys get it really right? And what’s it going to look like this year for the Cowboys and for the Steelers? Because everything that Pickkins is doing this year for the Cowboys, he could have been doing with DK Medaf drawing double coverage and Pickkins on the other side. It it still would have been very awkward because he’s in a contract year, but he embraced the reality that he’s in a contract year in Dallas and CD Lambs WR1 and Pickins has to just take what he can get. And will Prescott get him in that sweet spot where he takes what he can gets, makes the most of it, and sets himself up for a big contract next year with the Cowboys or someone else?

  1. If healthy, with 2 receivers, Dak will have top 5 passing numbers, good or bad. If the Cowboys are bad, he will be throwing more because you are down in the 2nd half. I remember the Dak being down 31-3 to Rodgers and made it 34-24 in the 4th quarter slinging the ball around, that was it for Garrett time.
