Max Kellerman ranks Dak Prescott 2nd of QBs under most pressure to win

[McKDaddy]

Rogers should be the most IMO. He hasn’t won the SB in 11 years and he’s probably winning another MVP. They have had the best team two years in a row and he has been beaten at home in the title game. They look like they’re headed back to the title game depending on next week. That’s pressure

Nah, everyone knows he's elite. They don't lose because of him. If he wins SB, obviously that's awesome and another dagger to the FO that thought he was done. If he doesn't, he's still the most prized target for QB needy teams. He's the reigning MVP & probably should be back to back. Even if he doesn't get the award this year, everyone knows he was worthy.

 

[Lodeus]

Whens Rodgers gonna get picked on for not winning one for a while with all then love he gets?

 

[DFWJC]

I agree with the other analyst that maybe Allen should be higher than 5..
If they lose to New England, the team they a supposed to dethrone, when they are playing with a rookie QB.
Yikes

Kellerman, who I generally think is a total tard regarding his football opinions, has a point about Dak.
He has a totally stacked team around him.
Get er done.

well, they did have him top 3

 

[MyFairLady]

Pressure is directly proportional to the amount of money you make and inversely proportional to the amount of past playoff success. So yeah Dak should be feeling some pressure.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Yup. Dak must move the ball and prove the naysayers wrong about him not being good against good D's.

If Dak is Mr. 3 and out Sunday, we lose. We cannot afford that. I want to see a pile or running plays and short passes. Move the ball and keep our D off the field.

by the same token, I hope the defense doesn't give up a 9 minute drive in the first half like against AZ....

he has immunity

”Salvaging the season?”
“Salvaging his career?”
What planet are you folks living on? Dallas went from 6-10 to 12-5, division champs and the 3 seed. What is there to “salvage?” Dak is a leading contender for comeback player of the year and cemented his position. “Salvage his career?” Wut?

We'll talk again after the game Sunday where either Dak will be moved around, or he'll be in the pocket and we'll be waiting for next season to start and finding a solid #2

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Good list…Dak may have more pressure then Stafford. Rodgers and Brady are fighting Father Time though, so that adds a whole different element to the list.

 

[shabazz]

I'd probably agree...Stafford has to. Rams mortgaged everything for him to win this year.....I'd say Dak and then Josh Allen based on those guys listed.

agree….Mahomes and Rodgers have already proven theyselves in the playoffs many times

Why would we talk about that? It has nothing whatsoever to do with what I was responding to.

 

[BobbyFlame469]

#1 offense and a top 10 defense.

All we heard from ya'll is "just give Dak a decent defense", well he has better than a decent defense.

It's put up or shut up time. Get it done.

I think Dak will make you and I fans of his this weekend.


He’s the next Steve Young if he gets 4 TDs this weekend.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Just an average QB that does below average things against good teams.

You talking about Matt Stafford?

agree….Mahomes and Rodgers have already proven theyselves in the playoffs many times

Yeah their careers are solidified....they are chasing GOATS and other stuff with multiple rings....Stafford, Josh and Dak need to simply get to a conference championship game...well I Think Stafford sort of has to win a ring in the near future because Rams have nothing to get better with.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

We'll see.

My faith in him right now is at 0%. If he plays well and we win it'll move up to 25%.

He'll gain 25% of my confidence for each round that he plays well and we advance lol

 

[kento40]

Brady? Pressure? Brady can take a poop in the middle of the field and make poo angels and still go down as the greatest to ever play the game. If anyone should just be having fun out there, it's Tommy Boy. Dak as well, He can go out, lay an egg with that same coked up, deer in the headlights look that he always gets when things aren't going perfect and fans will blame everyone from the defense to the cheerleaders before they blame him. His pay is set in stone and he will be here for the foreseeable future no matter what. So Here's to hoping the defense looks like the second coming of the steel curtain, because running with a gimpy Zeke, isn't going to keep the SF offense off the field.

 

[GINeric]

Dak is under a ton of pressure. Huge salary. Paired with a high powered offense, decent defense, and a SB experienced coaching staff.

If he can’t get it done now— gotta question if he has the ability to ever get it done at all.

I remember the same thing was said about Peyton Manning.

 

[RoboQB]

I'd say Aaron Rodgers is under significant pressure.
Top seeded team, again. Might lose at home, again.

When people talk legacy, this will be a black eye and a busted lip.

Agree.
He made their top 3 for a reason

 

[cowboyed]

Some of these rankings are abstract and stupid. Now there is a ranking on which quarterback endures the most pressure to win a post-season game? What's next which quarterback farts the most in the huddle?
How about what center in the NFL craps the most in their uniform pants while setting up and squatting to snap the ball. Well actually this ranking would hit close to home because undoubtedly it is Biadasz.

 

[Vagabond]

His picks:

1. Stafford
2. Dak
3. Rodgers
4. Mahomes
5. Allen

I agree with the Top 3 (I'll flip Dak with Rodgers), but I don't see what pressure Mahomes is under. He has a Super Bowl and is not going anywhere. Plenty more chances to win another Super Bowl even if his roster is going to turnover at some point. I guess it depends on how long Andy Reid will still coach - maybe the concern is if he'll duplicate his success under another coach.

Allen is somewhat under pressure, but all of Buffalo loves him and he has many more chances as well. There is always the chance Buffalo goes off the rails at some point, but he gets way more praise than he should and I'm sure nobody will blame him even if they lose.

I would put Garoppolo at #4. He could be playing for his job next year. #5 I would probably say Tannehill. I'm sure Tennessee wants to get over the hump of the Chiefs. And if they have to play the Chiefs to get to the Super Bowl, they wanna actually win this time. And while Tannehill is not going anywhere, it's going to be hard to defend not getting over the Chiefs this time with Henry back right on time, and when it feels like it's their year in the AFC and that roster is as good as it has gotten in Tennessee in a long time.

Under the least pressure in my opinion are Brady, Jones, Hurts, Burrow, and Roethlisberger. Whether they win or lose, everyone will reason they're either young or have nothing left to prove.

Kellerman is a wasted f—-.
