Prescott believes the team is close to winning

[nate dizzle]

....yet we are intrigued and ready to pounce on the simplest and the slightest from one......watch it become a topic and call it delusional........then dismiss the dumbest and most contradictory from others and call it rational. Got it. It's just like rear-ends and opinions......we all have them. Jerry loves it.

What?

I want Prescott, Parsons and CeeDee to put pressure on the Jones boys to figure out how to use free agency, trades along with the draft to stack the roster.

Joe Burrow has done it. He was speaking of the Eagles and said..."The Eagles are paying everybody," Burrow said. "That seems like the way to go, whatever they're doing."

That statement by Burrow can be interpreted as him saying pay Chase, pay Higgins, pay Hendrickson, get other players and pay them, too. This is what I need the Cowboys stars to be saying. It will keep Stephen Jones from always trying to blame them for why they choose not to get more talent in outside of the draft.

Say what Burrow said, Prescott!

I know it's been posted ad nauseum, but when is the earliest the Cowboys can reasonably get out of Dak's contract?

I'm hoping against hope that he plays well this year, but, just like my thoughts about the team in general, I'm not expecting much.

I believe after this season but I could be wrong. I only responded so I could pay some respect to that car in your photo. Love it!

 

[88sAndHeartbreak]

Exactly what am I in "denial" of?

Did other teams not win the SB by surrounding their QB's with talent?

Was Dak the only weaklink on a stacked team that Im not aware of?

**I will continue asking you these questions, no matter how many times they delete my post.

"Prescott believes the team is close to winning"

Dak’s been saying this since 2017. He's wrong about it every time.

 

[Chasing6]

What praytell should he have done?

1. A normal GM at least attempts to sign the contract a year prior.
2. If unable to resign, you must create a replacement plan.
3. Or consider trading the player.
A. Sign a vet to a 2 year deal
B. Draft a QB with potential
C. No, Trance was a joke of an option.
D. Have to be in a position to walk away

You have to have a similar plan for all key positions.

If you only have 1 CB, 1 WR, 1 Pass Rusher and no back up plan their agent is going to abuse you.

Look at what Martin did to Jerry before the season started.

GM's as well as Agents, get to say, "it is not personal, just business." Agents don't always win negotiations, so when they have leverage, they are going definitely use it.

Cincy lost when they lost Reader and Ogunjobi. That DT combo is what put them in the super bowl. The 2nd half of the Cincy/KC champ game was an exact replica of the recent super bowl. The Cincy DT combo got in Mahomes's face and stayed there the entire 2nd half. KC scored 0 points(or was it 3?) in the 2nd half which allowed Cincy to make a comeback.

Sooooooooooo, what did Cincy do? Paid Chase and let Ogunjobi walk. What did KC do that led to 3 super bowl wins? Paid Chris Jones.

It's not that you don't need good WRs, it's that those WRs are pointless if you don't have a pocket collapsing pair of DTs. That's where the game is really won. Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis were by far the biggest factor in the last super bowl. Sooooo, why didn't Jalen have any sacks? Because I'm sure he was doubled which gave Sweat an easier path to his 2 1/2 sacks. Same reason back in the day that Jimmie Jones was making the big play while all the attention was paid to Haley.

Denial about the Cowboys somehow “not having talent” around theirs.

That’s not true.

During his career, Prescott has had overall teams as talented as those that played in and won Super Bowls. Others won, he didn’t.

And nobody ever said Prescott was “the only weak link”, so you can drop that Strawman.

But Prescott certainly hasn’t justified being paid far more than others who have won a Championship.

HE DID. Geeeezzzzz, how does no one remember that Dak agreed to the contract and then renegged? It was big news.

Agree w/ everything else.

But the elephant would still be in the room.

 

[Paperbag]

It's to the point now that if you still believe in him you just can't admit you were wrong.

I believe if we had a different QB we would be close
But he is to worried about anything other than football

Yet I only hear Dak's name when it comes to playoff performance's. Where's the same vitriol for the WR's, defense, coaching staff and RB's?

We literally just saw what it takes to win in the playoffs, so expecting Dak to pull off wins with the level of talent he has had to work with isn't realistic. Dak has never had a stacked team, and a stacked team just won the SB.

What year did Dak have the same level of talent around him as the 2024/25 Chiefs or Eagles? In the year you're about to name, how did that talent play in the playoffs?

 

[plasticman]

We just witnessed what that Eagles D-line did to Patrick Mahomes, the most elite QB in the league, a three-time SB MVP.

Dak and the Cowboys have to play that team twice next season, and they are "close"?

They are about as close as we are to a star one thousand light years away.

They aren't even close to the same level of commitment. The Eagle's GM is obsessed with making he Eagles a better team 24-7.

Our GM considers the position a part -time job so insignificant that he can place it behind his other obligations as owner of both the team and stadium as well as Jones Land & Oil Lease, Covey Park Energy, Legends Hospitality, and Comstock Resources.

When they’re the top paid - by far - at their position, the ‘vitriol’ and expectations will be raised accordingly.

So it’s all about just one year in your mind? Is your view that myopic and limited?

Dak Prescott has been in the NFL for 9 seasons now, not just 2024/25.

This is why I have always shaken at my head at Jerry Jones induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He was primarily enshrined for what he accomplished for the league financially. His general manager efforts were secondary.

The accolade further reinforced his false self-perception. He was never qualified as a general manager YET his franchise won three Super Bowls despite it. Worse, the ultimate achievement in professional football happened multiple times at the beginning of his decades-old ownership.

So, inside his head, Jones believes no one else can do the job better than him. He lies whenever he says another person could be a better GM.

He is so self-delusioned that he does not think it is necessary to commit more time and energy as GM in relation to his other business ventures. Why? Because he thinks he is so good at managing a football team that he can manage his other businesses just as well.

That is an interesting question. I will not address the overall talent of any given team. However, I would say Dak Prescott has performed in the 2016, 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2023 postseason at or below the overall talent of those seasons' rosters.

My opinion is completely not based on statistical data. It is strictly from my football perceptions of comparative postseason performance between Prescott and his teammates during actual playoff games. However, I would add that I feel Prescott has played some regular season games during his career, in which he performed at or above his teammates' performance level also.

The ole eye test. Dak played above expectations in 2016, but he was still carried by a dominant team. The same is true in 2018...had to get Amari. Then in 2021, 2022 and 2023 we lead the league in turnovers, was up there in sacks and our offenses were prolific and our offensive line was respected. And we were definitely competitive against weaker teams...but in all those years...Dak CHOKED anytime we faced a superior opponent that was not in our division. Well, that's every journeyman QB ever - play well against lesser/known opponents, but not ready for primetime to beat the better guys.

And he made sure he took as much cash as he could so we couldn’t surround him with the same type of players
The players make Dak better
Dak doesn’t make his teammates better
