4. Dak can be an accurate passer with touch

I still believe that quarterback Dak Prescott earned a right to start and thrive in 2018. I still believe he deserves this slate of games to qualify and prove doubters wrong. But his time behind the center isn’t changing minds.

Yes, he made some plays against the Texans and looked great a week before against the Lions. But his football touch doesn’t match his acting skills. Sure, he’s trying to be Peyton Manning behind the line of scrimmage, but it’s clear his inaccuracy is a problem.

You can’t blame Witten or Bryant or the coaches on this one. When the head coach has better accuracy than the starting quarterback, well, Houston, we have a problem.

5. Jourdan Lewis is the chosen one

I didn’t think Byron Jones would be the cornerbacks of all cornerbacks in 2018. He has installed an island of talent on his side of the world. The coaches absolutely got him right. So far, I’ve been good on my word about Chidobe Awuzie as well. The pair is must watch on Sundays, helping to change the image of this defense.

For Jourdain Lewis, things are a little different. He’s been a ghost. Jones became what Lewis was supposed to be. I still believe in number 27 and his talents. But with five games down, clearly, the coaches see talent elsewhere and haven’t been wrong.
