Prescott believes the team is close to winning

[LACowboysFan1]

Typical Dak statement. He is one of those eternal optimists, generally speaking that's a good thing, but at some point, he has to realize a bit of reality will go a long way....

Every leader of every organization has to have a positive view of the future.

We might actually be close, if we had a real GM, that could make some things happen.

Big difference between having a positive view and being blind to your shortcomings.

But I agree, a real GM would go a long way towards returning to greatness...

Are you trying to tell me Dez did not know what was coming???

The DB had the play read like he was in the huddle. He didn't even pretend like he was going to cover anyone, just made a beeline to undercut the throw. Dez had no shot at doing anything.

 

[Air Force One]

I guess I can't accept a leader of the team showing fear... I can't be mad a someone showing courage and not backing down.

Also, if yall dislike everything a person says, why yall keep listening? Every single one of these Dak interview threads, I see the same people, saying the samethings.

Courage would have been admitting that this team ISNT close and that it’s going to take a lot of hard work and a lot of luck to be close within 3 years. Have no doubt. Dak has backed down. He decided this summer to back down on to Jerry’s lap.

Look make fun of him all you want….

If The jones would use free agency to sign quality starters and one elite player then this team can win a superbowl

It’s LITERALLY that easy!!!!! It’s right in front of the Jones face and that’s the frustrating part

Get Jeanty in the draft and hand the ball of 60% of the time and let Prescott go 15-23 every game and BAM you win

Dak doesn't even believe what he is saying. It's just snake oil flavored cool-aid. He wouldn't have been caught saying we ****** suck a few months back if he felt we really could compete with Philly right now.

 

[McCarthyMustGo]

Then he is dumber than a doorknob. Prescott always tries to say the right thing then falls flat on his face.

The "we ****" statement was in the heat of the moment, even an eternal optimist can get aggravated, doesn't mean it's his normal state of mind.

You need far more than that. You need Dak to make plays when teams shut down the run. Historically that hasn’t happened.

 

[Stash]

Every step any team takes to aquire talent is to back up their QB, no matter how good or bad they are. We just had two teams/front offices in the SB that surrounded their qb's with supreme talent.

If Dak was the only weaklink on a stacked team, you would have a point. So it's silly to expect Dak to win without much talent around surrounding him, then blame him when he doesn't.

Before you blame his contract, the $10-20M/yr difference didn't stop other teams from aquiring SB winning talent and it won't in the future.

Agreed. There have been lots of SBs won by teams when the quarterback either was terrible or was the proverbial "bus driver". So it doesn't have to be Dak making plays to win the game.

When the Cowboys had Zeke at his peak, and considering the way they won games there, the Cowboys should have kept Dak as the bus driver, and just fine tuned the defense and other offensive areas.

But it became the Dak show, not the Cowboys show. Jerry fired Gailey even though Gailey got the team to the playoffs both years he was there.

As we have found out, Jerry's meddling has blocked the Cowboys players from being put in the position they need to be to win big....

Sure, but the insistence on a 4 year deal would, and did.

 

[Miller]

Great, The Garrett Speaker of QBs sees his shadow again and regales us with this bs. He literally has some much bad mojo and stink on him

That is GM Jethro's fault.

Yep, just ask Baghdad Bob.

 

[sarge1116]

Dak, you should learn a few quotes from jalen, like "keep the main thing the main thing" and " can't be great without the greatness of others". Oh wait thats right, you and your team have no semblance of a culture like that. Lol, we dem boys....what a joke.

 

[stinkface]

Maybe Dak needs to go to NFL.com power rankings that were published today. Eagles are ranked number 1 and we are number 23. As Bill Parcells said "Don't eat the cheese".

 

[plasticman]

The Cowboys could compete against the Eagles under these circumstances:

_______________________________________________

A completely injury-free season with the re-emergence of both Bland and Diggs.

Phenomenal improvement by the Cowboys last two draft picks, Mazi and Guyton as well as the remaining draft picks.

The addition through either the draft or free agency of a receiver that can complement Lamb as a legitimate weapon.

The drafting of a highly productive back to team up with Dowdle.

A breakout season from either DE Kneeland or Williams.

Limiting Dak Prescott to 32 or less pass attempts whenever possible.

The defense's return to the previous years when they were takeaway machines.

___________________________________________________

Their odds of completing these changes? Minimal.

PoopScott destroys a perfectly good mansion to build a new one. I don't care what that clown has to say.

He’s to worried about that mansion and therefore isn’t all in on the Team
All he cared about was getting paid
