Dak benefit of the doubt will be gone with fans

[TheMarathonContinues]

At crucial games he melted down . He is not consistent. His regression started in 2018.

His regression started in 2018? You sure about that lol? 2018 and 2019 is when he took his game to new heights. Heights his doubters said he couldn't do. His peak was 200 yards a game I was told. His peak was 23 touchdowns a season.

His empty yards cannot hide the most important stats , 1-6 against winning teams .

When has Dak ever had the benefit of the doubt from fans? He didn't have it last year at 500k a year so why should he care?

Yeah but Aaron Rodgers and Drew Bree's haven't always strived and they were the highest paid and were allowed to have excuses.....

Yes but you know that the Prescott haters expect and demand literal perfection or he's a bum. They think Prescott has zero room for non-perfect play but when other QB's aren't perfect every play or game that's different. They will rattle off excuses for them.

I already know man lol.....it’s sad.

We don't know the details yet, but....the way things are going, he sure does not seem to be this "leader" that he and other fans think he is.

That's funny that you say we/you don't know any details yet but then you say the way things are going he doesn't seem to this leader that he and other fans think. And you base this on what? What sportswriter have SPECULATED what the contract will be? Since we don't know making blanket statements is pretty foolish. If any of the players spoke up and said they don't respect him anymore that MIGHT be something to on but that hasn't happened.

Both , but the QB is the most pivotal player . A good QB does not regress or lose so much (1-6j against winning teams . Dak could not score a TD against a depleted eagles team in the final game .

 

[dwreck27]

He gets paid top 3 QB money they will expect a super bowl every season

It's funny that ALL of those losses some blame ENTIRELY on Prescott yet it's never get brought up that the Cowboys receivers led the league in drops or Elliott had 6 subpar games of 60 or fewer yards, one game with a total on 35 yards on 18 carries, or the defense that did a poor job of getting 3 and outs but instead they let teams get some 1st downs so when they finally did stop them after punting the Cowboys start out on their own 10 - 15 yard line having to go 85-90 yards to get TD's and there are few teams that on a regular basis go 85-90 yards every time for TD's. And then there was one of the worst special teams in the league. Ya it's real easy to blame Prescott for all the losses to bad there were plenty of other reasons for those losses.

Dak was hurt the last game of the season and you know it. And you keep saying he was 1-6...he beat the Rams and Eagles for sure who had winning records so where are you getting these numbers from?

The losses are not all on Dak’s shoulders . Jason was a terrible game day coach . I am hoping Dak can Excalibur’s under a new coach . My concern is he is not accurate and gets flustered . He is not a drop back passer , this is any 93% of his snaps were from the shotgun or play action . He is not comfortable dropping back and reading defenses . I don’t see how a new coach can correct that . Did you actually have confidence in Dak staging a comeback against the patriots , saints , eagles , bills etc ?

 

[WeDemBoyz]

The real question is... what is the smart move for the team? Fan support will follow.

That's pretty funny since Aikman only had TWO season with a better completion percentage than Prescott last season and one of those years it was 65.3 to Prescott's 65.1. Prescott's worst season was 62.9, Aikmans worst season was 52.9. Prescott's rookie season he was 67.8, Aikman's was that 52.9. I guess that Aikman had an accuracy problem then too.

If Dak get's a new contract which pays him like the Top QB's then he won't be given too much margin for error with the fans.
Being a 4th round pick and his ability to right the ship has endured him to the fans. But, now that he will be paid like the top QB's he will be expected to play like one and things that may have been forgiven by fans before won't any more.
It's not that he's overpaid that upsets people, it's the fact that him taking up more and more of the cap space prevents the team from retaining players due to the restraints implemented by the cap.
He will be expected to show that he can carry the team and be the main cog that elevates the team/players to the upper level.
He needs to show that the players he has around him is irrelevant up to a certain point and be able to perform even when he isn't surrounded by top notch players.
Right now he has Zeke, Cooper, and Gallop that are excellent players and help mask a lot of his deficiencies in a lot of instances.
Now, he will be expected to perform even if/when those players go out due to injury.

You know who doesn't care about the fans' opinion??

Dak.
Dak's agent.
Dallas FO.

As it should be. The money for the NFL isn't based on butts in the seats or merchandise.

It's the TV contracts.

 

[Typhus]

So does Brad Johnson - What's your point?

Lol,,, Brad Johnson?
Whats your point?

 

[Typhus]

So it’s Dak’s job to elevate the talent on the team? So what the hell is the job of his coaches?

Sure it is,, he is the QB of the Dallas Cowboys.
Your either a leader of men or you die hiding in the trenches.
Great QBs in this league elevate the entire team.
Watch the good teams that advance to the playoffs, they all have something in common.
You cant be a leader or motivator when you cant execute in critical moments, that's been Daks failure, over and over again.

 

[Typhus]

Man Ive seen some on here who are not capable of putting blame on Dak, just like Ive seen some who act like he is trash. Neither make sense to me. Dak is what he is, a raw 4th round pick who is over flowing with heart, leadership and work ethic, but is still rounding his game out. I like his potential for sure. Much like the last Romo contract I dont feel comfortable with this one either, but letting him walk is the wrong move.

Rational assessment.

And so I'll ask you what I asked another poster. If its his job to motivate and elevate than what in the hell do we have head coaches for? What are positional coaches for?

This is another one of those overrated silly observations that one day some mediot brought up on First take or some other ESPN show and fans have ran with it. There is no stat that shows you a quarterback "elevates" or "motivates" his team. There's none. Its opinion based. I guess whatever quarterback didn't make the playoffs they lacked being a leader lol.

His empty yards cannot hide the most important stats , 1-6 against winning teams .

So that record is Dak’s and Dak’s alone?

Good news for Dak! That means his 40-24 overall record... is HIS record.

2nd-most wins in the NFL since 2016.

Are you Dak’s agent!?!?

 

[Hadenough]

Biggest mistake this team can make is to pay Dak. Any half decent defense gives him fits. That's because he doesnt have the arm or accuracy to keep them honest. They gamble and move up and take away all his comfortable throws along with stuffing the run game.
