If fans believe our QB and offense is a greater weakness than our defense they are FRIKIN Idiots. Or simply Trolls. Lol

If you would like to see more Dak-friendly dead-zone scoring totals? I am at your disposal.....if you dare to face Dak's football reality?

"In his rookie season in 2016, Prescott was exceptional against teams with an above-.500 record. In the four years since, however, Prescott has been pedestrian at best against the better squads in the league.

In his first year, Prescott threw for 13 touchdowns and 4 interceptions against above-.500 teams and compiled a 6-3 record, including the playoffs. Since then, his touchdown-to-interception ratio is 33-28 and his record as a starter is 6-20 (adjusted to include the 2020 season stats). Last year, he had an 8/8 TD/INT ratio and the Cowboys went 1-6 against teams with an above-.500 record.

Of course, you may be asking yourself, well, how do other top-paid QBs fair against quality competition? How do Prescott's stats stack up against those in the pay range he's looking to break into? I'm happy you asked.

Against over-.500 teams both in the regular season and the playoffs (when applicable), Aaron Rodgers had a 12/4 ratio and 5-3 record last year. Russell Wilson had an 11/4 ratio and a 4-4 record. Kirk Cousins had a 15/6 ratio and a 3-5 record. Jared Goff's ratio was 6/6 and his record was 2-4. Tom Brady was 6/5 and 3-4.

Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Deshaun Watson, Prescott's QB contemporaries also up for new deals soon, had numbers of 20/4 and 5-2, 10/3 and 5-2 and 12/5 and 4-3, respectively.

While Prescott isn't alone in his struggles against better teams, all of those quarterbacks outside of Goff were better than Prescott against elite competition last year. For the quarterbacks around his same age and stature (yes, Mahomes and Jackson are MVPs, but you get it), Prescott isn't even in the same ballpark.

Against teams with a .500 record or below, Prescott shines. His TD/INT ratio is 65/10 and his record is 31-5 (adjusted to include the 2020 season stats). Those are elite stats for sure, but they come against below-average competition. Of course, that's what good quarterbacks do: beat up on bad competition. But putting Prescott in that elite category doesn't fit based on his career performances against better teams thus far."


This excerpt from an article written May 2020 did not include Dak's 2020 stats so I included them in the 2nd and Last paragraphs that reflected his performance and noted that in each.

You mean Dak and the other 52 players and coaches right? No, you obviously think it’s all Dak’s fault. How ignorant.

You’re living in the past. And using one segment in a season as an example. If you recall 2018 was the season we made a trade to get Cooper which uplifted our offense to the playoffs after a 3-5 start.

And I didn’t say it was the defenses fault. I said our QB and offense aren’t the weakest link.

I’ll say it again for those that missed it.
If fans believe our QB and offense is a greater weakness than our defense they are FRIKIN Idiots. Or simply Trolls.

I wonder which one a fan is using Dak 666 in their Avatar?

The key part is the Cooper trade lifted the offense. Dak wasn't getting it done before Cooper was signed. So who should really get the majority of credit for the turnaround? If Dak was soooooooooooo great, why did he need a top level WR to get signed? An elite QB is going to make the best of what is given to him, right?

No one is flippin' saying this, Greg, NO ONE. How the hell are you interpreting this: the defense isn't totally to blame, the offense didn't exactly help and put them in bad positions numerous times; to mean this: The offense and the QB is a greater weakness than the defense.

No one is fuggin saying this............ DAMN, man.

And I’d wager all games without Elliot. Yes, we know Dak struggled without Zeke in 2017 and without Cooper in 2018. More hand selected data from the member who uses Dak 666 in their avatar. No red flags there.

Then why are they blaming our offense and QB? And not critiquing other aspects with as much vitriol?

I have never said that either. The entire team played a part, not just one side or the other. I have never once put the blame totally on Dak, but he didn't exactly help things either. Neither did Zeke.

Appreciate you stooping to the level of the other name callers on CZ and calling me an idiot. I thought you were better than that, but apparently not.
dang, somebody cried when I called (it) an idiot. I got one day on the bench with Dak.

I'm just saying the team was swirling down the toilet before cooper came onboard. So why is Dak being credited with the turnaround in 2018 when they were clearly sucking before Cooper came to the team?

Sure, Dak played a part in the turnaround, but it didn't happen until Cooper was signed.
