The bottom line is Dak didn't deliver

[Brax]

23-7 - the score entering the 4th quarter
27.1. Daks QBR for game
1-3. Dak's career playoff record

We can blame MM.....the refs......bottom line is that Dak didn't deliver. The players play the game and no cowboy was more underwhelming than Dak Prescott. He could not get the offense moving until SF was basically in a prevent defense.

Its on to season 7 for Dak. I hope this performance will linger in our collective memories so we can have fewer arguments next season over who this guy is. He is gutless and not a big game QB. He pads his stats against bad teams and playing catch-up against prevent defenses.

So next year when he torches the Giants for 500 yards and 8 TDs, anyone who starts posting about how great he is should be automatically considered a buffoon.

Elite numbers so some here tell us, it's the rest of the team's fault and the refs. Glad I got see some great QB play this weekend unfortunately it wasn't in this game.

I wanted to be wrong about Dak, but I didn't forget how much I was attacked by you and your buds for thinking Dak wasn't a top QB.

You admitted you was wrong though and that's more than some of the others have done.

I care about the Cowboys. That's why I will continue to ridicule the players and coaches on this team that are making my favorite team a laughing stock.

attacked? you take things personally...I pointed out to things that had two sides. I admited when I was wrong. it was never about me winning an argument, as you really just want to win argument (remember your Wentz is tougher argument...I mean seriously.....)...

I think issue is our GM. the culture, the team he built.... its like seeing the same nightmare....again....every few years....before Dak was Romo, before Romo was Bledsoe and before him his favorite Quincy Carter...before McCarthy was Garrett and wade and parcells and his punching bag Campo. nothing has changed. Dak will be gone in a couple of year. perhaps a few years of futility and the next QB. even they might be good, but will they find success in Dallas? under Jerry? I doubt it....

we have a soft culture. Jerry finds excuses. his team finds excuses. his coaches find excuses. they point fingers...btw, I hated what Dak said about the refs. I would pelt Dak for that personally. stupid statement.

I think our best chance at success is to invest heavily into OL. I wouldn't mind drafting OL men in first and second and invest in FA if we can. get a running back in the 3rd or 4th, getting ready for Zeke departure. go back to run based team....ala Niners....that's what we should be.

It is not easy but it starts with someone capable of recognizing that kind of talent and ceiling. I think you are about to have to add Joe Burrow to that list. But, none of the guys you have listed as elite were the first QB taken on the board. We all know Brady's story. Rodgers lasted until the 24th pick. Mahomes was the 11th pick. Josh Allen was the 3rd QB taken. The Dallas Cowboys haven't used a first round pick on a Qb since 1989. We got lucky with Romo who underachieved but had all the tools. Dak doesn't have all the tools and comes with a much lower ceiling. But, I understand the salary cap and I know we are stuck with him.

They way you win with Dak Prescott is by turning him back into the bus driver QB he was in his rookie year, and building the defense. He should be focused on moving the chains by any means necessary.

Yes.

Dak requires a strong running game to support him. When we lost that Dak floundered.

RB needs to be a priority in this year’s draft.

 

[Montanalo]

Because of his contract, we are probably two years away from drafting Dak's replacement.

So, in the meantime, they can rebuild the OL, shore of the defense and look to unload a number of high priced, underperforming contracts.

And, for heaven's sake, don't pull a Garrett and promote Moore to Hc.

 

[Aviano90]

Dak had an opportunity to shut his haters up. He only provided them more material.

 

[Strykerscm]

The entertainment of all this will be now Dak knows a lions share of the fanbase does not think he’s good enough for the cowboys and also know that he’s going to get boo’ed much much more going forward.

Is he going to own the fact that he’s a below average nfl qb and play hard until his contract is up or will he be completely tone deaf and begin pushing back on the fanbase.

bottom line off base

the offensive line, both with the execution and penalties cost us the game ..ill paste and cut this on all threads looking for answers. they torpedoed so many drives i lost count.

all those plays all game before that especially on the drive before and after halftime is on dak?> the sunlight the OL mistakes being behind the chains. I mean its blatantly obvious to actual fans to why we lost the game

the OL that's if. Other penalty's come in 2nd like pre-snap on the DL what 3 of them?

real fans who aren't emotional right now see why we lost...mistakes on the lines you win and lose in the trenches, and it cost us on both sides.

I think our best chance is to blow it up right now and start a rebuild.

By the time Daks contract is up hopefully we can have a solid foundation in place for a real QB to take over.

The "win now" mode is a waste with Dak at QB. Whatever moves they make in a "win now" direction will be wasted.

I know they won't do that, so going back to a run heavy team, like you suggest is about our only option for success. It just sticks that we have the 3rd highest paid football player ever and we're having to figure out ways around him to be successful.

 

[AshyLarry06]

1. Brady
2. Rodgers
3. Mahomes
4. Allen

Those are the elite QB’s.

One comes along every 5 years or so. Not easy to get when every team wants one.

5. Herbert
6. Mahomes
7. Wilson

Not as rare as you say it is.

 

[jwitten82]

5. Herbert

Add Burrow to that list

 

[atlantacowboy]

Yes.

I think we are cap stuck with Zeke for one more year. There is no question Zeke is overpaid and not worth the contract we gave him, BUT he can still run the ball when he is healthy. Pollard had a great year for the part time work. I think where the offense needs to get better is LG and C. Those are the weak spots on the OL. So we need to address those positions but the top priority needs to be a big DT to anchor the defense. I'm tired of watching teams run up the gut. The Niners gashed us for 169 yards last night without a pro bowl caliber running back. I would love to see one of those UGA guys fall to us.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Add Burrow to that list

Absolutely. If you could redraft the entire league, it would go Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Herbert........

The problem as I see it is Dak has been over sold, over paid and over hyped.

He wasn’t the only star who didn’t play his best game. Where was our 90 million RB, our 100 million WR, all pro slot receiver and 2 all pro OL. Not to mention our all pros on defense and 100 million DE.

Cowboys stars don’t produce on the bigger stages.

We wouldn’t have won many championships back in the day if our stars didn’t show up.

QB is the most important position on the field. If Dak game out of the tunnel ready to play, its an entirely different game. But as we all know, Dak rarely ever comes out swinging. Against good teams, he likes to wait until the game is out of reach to start piling on the numbers.

The WRs are only as good as the QB. I kept wondering during the game when the heck Wilson became the center of the offense. Amari had a TD catch but it didn't look like Dak was looking his direction most of the game. Zeke is nursing a partial PCL tear and has played like for the past 2 months.

 

[DeaconMoss]

Are you able to admit you was wrong about Dak?

Where is @RonnieT24 today?

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Where is @RonnieT24 today?

Yeah.

I don't see him admitting he was wrong.

Romo was a UDFA. So how in the world can you say he underacheived?

 

[DeaconMoss]

Yeah.

I don't see him admitting he was wrong.

The leader of Dak nation got some splaining to do

and of course you let both Dak and the coaches off the hook. Is that you Jerry or you Stephen?

 

[Aven8]

Seems like Buffalo, KC and Cincinnati have done a good job of this so far.

It’s because they had to suck to get one of those. We kept trying to be relevant with JG at the helm and always picked in our average position which was the middle of the draft. When we did have a high pick we took a RB. Now he makes $15/ year because that former coach was trying to save his job and had to have him……
