Dak Prescott Calls out ‘Bandwagon’ Cowboys Fans

[OmerV]

So one question, why is Cowboys offense #1 and Tampa not #1...they have the Goat and are loaded..if the Cowboys WR (who we can get into games missed if you want) elevate Dak why are Tampas WR not elevating Brady?

Tampa Bay offense is 3rd in yards/game and 1st in points/game
Dallas offense is 1st in yards/game and tied for 2nd in points/game

Both are right at the top offensively.

Yup and one could say they have equal talent around the QB....

Yep. I amended my earlier post BTW-Dallas is actually tied for 2nd in scoring, they were just listed 3rd.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Lol ok so...Evans, Godwinn, Brown, Gronk....dont compare to Cooper, Lamb, Gallup, schultz....?

How many games has Gronk and Brown played this year again?

What are you more concerned about here? Having the #1 offense or winning games when it matters?

Yes how many games have our weapons missed? and again the conversation was about your statement. Which had nothing in it about winning.

Well, that is your opinion of what is happening. In some cases, it may be right but in others it isn't. I don't agree with assuming a person's motives unless you have very strong evidence. Maybe you do for certain posters. That is for you to decide.
My point being your willingness to consider some posts would appear to be clouded by your opinion. Maybe set aside your presumption & look at the content of their message. If you believe it should be ignored, ignore it. If you can refute it, refute it. If you are willing to debate and accept that there may not be agreement in the end, fine.

I think the vast majority of posters will engage in a reasonable discussion. There is a small but vocal group who will argue everything and never acknowledge the validity of anyone else's counter points.

I have never even disliked (much less hate) Dak but I have grown to loathe the never ending cycle of some who overstate his level of play and deny any mistakes on his part. I mean we can debate a throw as being a good throw, bad throw, catchable, uncatchable, QB fault or receiver fault, etc., and we might agree or not. But when a pass is in the ground and folks try to make out like it's the receivers fault, there is no reasonable discussion to be had. (I'm just giving an example here, not saying you said any of this)

This is part of the problem with "validity." The ball did hit the ground.. but only after it went through Brown's hands..



I'm sorry if offends people who didn't see it live as I did. I am perfectly capable of acknowledging that it was indeed a poor throw but it was not "in the ground" and it was not "uncatchable." It hit Brown between the hands which he didn't bring together fast enough. The ball was probably too hot in addition to being behind so that certainly contributed to it being incomplete. But this repeated brain dead narrative that the ball landed at his feet or some such is just idiotic. It was a bad play, both players involved need to be better. Period.

How many has Gallup played in?

Collectively Godwin, Evans, Brown and Gronk have played in 33 games
Collectively Cooper, Lamb, Gallup and Schultz have played in 34 games.

Not much difference.

Lashing out? How? Again what did he say that was disrespectful. Nobody has been able to explain, all I see is a lot hurt feelings for nothing.

Just because you don't agree doesn't mean it hasn't been explained.
Let me ask you this dre...please try to be honest if you can.....we will take it slow.
How does a sports team get "bandwagon" fans?

Dude! You would have to be Stretch Armstrong to catch that worm burner! Plus he is running in the opposite direction at full speed and you want him to twist around and catch that?

 

[CowboyFrog]

Again is there not a diference in these 2 statements?

1) "I know alot of fans will be jumping off the bandwagon after this stretch, and thats ok we need to start playing better...
2) "The bandwagon fans we have will jump off because we are losing"

I mean thats 2 diferent statements to me, one says I get the fans are down right now, the other is taking a shot at fans....
if your taking it as a shot at fans it seems a stretch to me....

Which one did Dak make?

Agreed. Not impossible, but ultimately there couldn't be a reasonable expectation that Brown should have caught that pass. That one was on Dak.

 

[Swagger]

Who cares what he said. Jeepers let's just focus on the team winning not sound bites from an overpaid sports person trying to detract the spotlight from their own substandard play in 3 of the last 4 games.

It was a poorly thrown football by the QB and he had many of those.

I agree, the thing i dont get is this, every QB has bad throws in every game....Some here do not like to admit he throws more good ones than bad. It apparent that some want to push the completions are because of the WR and the non completions are the QB...In reality every pass complete or otherwise is on the QB, Reciever, blocking when one doesnt do the job it takes a great play by one of the others to make the completion..and this team has way more good than bad. I dont get why some ONLY want to harp on the bad.

Look at the picture, Brown actually had the brakes on wit his right foot! lol

 

[CowboyFrog]

I mean he completed 68% of his passes...where most of them just great catches?

Yes I want a receiver to catch a ball that goes between his hands. I'm not sure why this is even a question. He stopped and was able to position his hands in front of the ball. He just whiffed on it. Again.. bad throw.. but catchable.. Anybody who has ever played receiver at any level will tell you that ball should be caught. Again, not easy.. but not impossible. If he had not gotten his hands in front I might be fine with saying it was uncatchable.. But as it was, he got his hands under it but did not close them as the ball got to him.. So it went right through. Yes the ball was hummed in there.. but again.. NFL.. professional pass catcher.. Catch the ball. The QB was running for his life, again and had a 300 pound guy bearing down on him. Sometimes that will cause the throw to be off target.. They have statistics for such things.. In those instances the receiver has to help his QB out. Especially the ones who have 5 drops in the last 4 games.. That guy should feel like he owes the QB a couple of spectacular catches..
