Bobby Belt-The Complete Defense of Dak Prescott: Debunking the Nine Most Common Criticisms

[CowboyRoy]

Sure because people who don't believe in Dak want the Cowboys to fail - the nerve of those people!

absolutely. Look at how happy they were we went 8-8. Downright gleeful.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

I applaud the Cowboys for not just giving in an at least attempting to get 5 years. Even though we know they will cave when push comes to shove.

But the thing is...WHY...are they not caving NOW? They are going down the wire with Dak which they rarely do with their "star future player"

I agree with those that say this is some kind of message. What exactly...I do not know but......it's evident.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Did you know Dak has a better record against winning teams than Romo. Imagine blaming an offense for the defense giving up 31 points in 5 drives

Right...so NOW we're using win loss records to show Dak's worth?


When everyone been saying but it's a team game. What in the **....

Romo NEVER had 3 #1 picks on the line and stud #1 3rd pick RB leading the league to hand off to AND block offensive linemen.

Who exactly...wants the cowboys to fail?

"people"? What "people"?

So I'm going to go out on a limb and say you didn't read the Belts article?

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Actually.. If you take the time to go back, look at the Box Scores, and evaluate those games. Three of those QBs didn't outplay Dak, and the fourth is arguable. Several things went into those losses. But... I guess since failed fourth down conversions, dropped passes, offensive pass interference calls, holding, missed field goals, crappy play by special teams, and several defensive penalties allowing drives by the other team to continue, don't fit the narrative... we'll just pretend those didn't happen.

Ah the old "box score test" ....just as stupid as "eye test".

"Just look at "box score" and you'll know who sucks and who does;'t DERP! DEWRP DERP! "

Stupid.

Not sure if I did or didn't I replied to the exact wording of the post.

If there's a problem maybe someone else should be more clear. Either it's a team record or it isn't regardless of historical reference.

Thats your problem. Box score watching and not objectively analyzing whats actually happening.

3 of those QBs didnt outperform Dak?

Allen
Darnold
Trubisky

EASILY outperformed him. Only one that is debatable is Bridgewater (a backup)

Yep.

And with those assets, the offense was top 3 in many, many categories. Dak threw for almost 5,000 yards. Dak did his job with the guys around him (for the most part).

Look to the defense, special teams and coaching if you want to figure out why the team went 8-8 last year. It was definitely not the offense.

Again...using pure stat to prove your point. Winston had more yards...and yet he is GONE. Hmmm...

And I am NOT saying it was all Dak's fault...just like I don't think 13-3 is ALL dak. But people using and abusing stats to prove their tiny little personal AGENDA...i do take issue with.

I just meant that melts article goes in so much detail and never brings up win or loss record

Stupid.

Its ALL they have. They point to the Box score ignore whats actually happening

41% of his yardage totals came in the last 5 minutes of the game where it was pretty much decided juju

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

You think it's weak because it doesn't fit your narrative. The fact the organization wants him under contract for five years instead of four shows just how much they believe in them.

Trying to spin it the other way is pretty silly.

And you do not have a narrative? mkay sure...whatever suits your fancy.

Just sign him for what he wants like Jerry does.

I didn't say just use the box score... But nice twisting. I said you also have to evaluate the game. IE... watch the game again and actually pay attention to little things you missed the first or second time you watched it. Of course, that went right over your head while you were busy derping and acting like you're so much smarter than everyone else.

Yeah, I never watched the game, I just watched the box score. Do you actually engage your brain before putting your fingers on the keyboard? Show me where I said, "All you need is the box score. Just skip the game and look at the box score". I also said evaluate the game... As in, watch it again. And as far as objectively analyzing whats happening... That's rich coming from you. When was the last time you were objective about anything having to do with Dak?

You LITERALLY said..."look at the box score"

Here: "Actually.. If you take the time to go back, look at the Box Scores, and evaluate those games. "
And you never said anything else.

Not pretending any such thing. In fact I have freely admitted I have a low NFL IQ. I watch games for FUN and ENTERTAINMENT. I'm pretty passionate about it...but no expert by any stretch...obviously not like YOU...right?

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Exactly. Nothing elite about the Cowboys in a long time. Elite teams win playoff games.

regular season is about players...playoffs is about coaching....we have lacked coaching for a loooonnnnggg time

All they have... LMAO... Like your eye test and objective analyzing. Keep reaching!
