I ran Daks's numbers again

[MountaineerCowboy]

hate to ask, but can you add opponent win loss record or strength of schedule....

I think Dak's numbers are actually good against above. 500 teams this year. But, as usual, context matters.

BUT.... Those games were against the Pats when they stank.
The Eagles twice and once against their practice squad. He had 8 TD passes against the Eagles this year.
The Cardinals where we had 7 points entering the 4th quarter and he got a couple garbage time TDs.
The Raiders where he had that embarrassing OT performance.
The Tampa Bay game that was probably his best game he's ever played.
The Chargers game. He had a good competition percentage but 0 TDs and 1 INT. Pollard and Zeke had 200 yards rushing that game.
The horrible KC game. 0 TDs, 2 INTS.
Then the 49ers game. We all know how that one went.

What’s not true?

We won the Seattle playoff game because we were miles better than them. It’s been so long but I remember running on them to win it and not really using Dak’s arm.


What does it matter though? 6 seasons and he has 1 wildcard win against an inferior opponent.

If Joe Burrow wins this week he will have more playoff wins in his 2nd season than Dak has had in 6 seasons. Unbelievable. He also will have done it behind one of the worst offensive lines in football that can’t protect him at all.

Zeke had 140 yards rushing and 1 TD while adding another 4 catches for 32 yards in that playoff game against Seattle.

Did that dude really say "Dak won us that game"? lol

No I have said there are better QB's...In this ONE GAME the penalties would give any QB fits...as a whole yes there are QB's that would produce better I dont think many but there are some. But Again which of those QB's can you get? Why would any of them come here for this...Do you think A-rod looks at this team and says "Wow if only i could switch my top WR for Cooper"? no..Im for moving on but not just the QB as none of our top players have played like top players in big games...

Blaming penalties is just lazy.

Dak couldn’t move the ball. And it’s not just an1 time thing. He can’t move the ball in those types of games. He did it all season and did it in the playoffs. It’s just what he does and penalties wouldn’t have changed it.

We couldn’t move the ball simply because Dak has a pattern of playing bad football when we go down a couple scores and for some reason we abandon the run game and rely on his passing ability that gets us nowhere.

No commiting that many penalties is lazy and bad coaching and execution..Starting 75% of drives behind the chains is a recipe to lose and play bad offense....blaming one player is lazy...again they all sucked including Dak...you want to prop Cooper and Tyrone and Lamb and Tank and all the "Leaders" on this team up then go ahead...but they all failed just as much as Dak and they all need to be reset on another team. Its cool i understand why your here its been the same..you have blinders on and thats fine..

 

[CowboyFrog]

well, as you said in your post before, context matters.

54 rushing yards came on the last drive. to kill the clock and end the game...which it effectively did taking about 5 minutes off.

It only matters when it makes thier argument.

 

[foofighters]

Here it is: NFC East v. the rest of the schedule. Again, take what you want from them.

Now look at the strength of schedule and see where the Cowboys rank.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

It only matters when it makes thier argument.

no, he more than others adds context. others are incapable, but he is on the side that has criticized Dak and always saw the half empty glass.

but at this point, he seems to have been right about Dak, eventhough all he sees is the bad stuff.

He’s played 6 season and has 1 wildcard win.

He didn’t lose the game because of penalties. He lost because he couldn’t move the ball and he’s just not good enough.

It’s not an accident that we’re going into year 7 and he has virtually no playoff success.

You can keep making excuses for the guy and maybe one day the stars will align but the truth is that Dak Prescott just isn’t a winner.

When the going gets tough Dak Prescott goes into a shell and hopes someone else makes a play. That’s the reality.

After we scored our first TD he couldn’t put another point on the board until deep into the 4th quarter.

 

[Zman5]

This entire team ducks into a hole when it comes to playoff games. Dak is one of many players who can't seem to grab the spotlight when it's at it's brightest.

He did it in 2016 and 2018 playoffs. That's why this year was more disappointing. I thought he was going to take the next step but played worse than the previous playoffs instead.

 

[Haimerej]

Let Dak become more of a game manager who does not have to take the team on his shoulders, a burden he has proven he cannot manage.

Hard to do when he's taking 20% of your cap.

Yeah and the one drive we scored on had the least penalties and thats not a fluke...again I know why you are here and what you want...I'm not interested in your half truths....they all need to go, they have all been here long enough to see that they dont have what it takes...Same as Romo's core...will it make a diference with the same head clown runnning it, who knows but know this A-rod nor Brady is comming here for this clown show..Your not getting Burrow or Herbert either....so bring in another QB of your choosing and change nothing else and watch the wheel go round and get back to me....

 

[John813]

What's his credit score?

Correct question is what is his SS?

Not like I was going to open a line of credit or anything.

 

[Cboyfan4ever]

how about now run the entire teams numbers

each player and group to show all the penalties and mistakes THEY ALL Made which also contributed to daks issues particularly the Offensive line. If not this is useless flawed and for sure a troll hater post when the team had issues in those games as well.

missing far too much info to blame dak..got it

It is a total organizational ineptitude.But Dak still is not very good,regardless.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

Stop with the numbers. What do your eyes tell you? Mine tell me he doesnt get it done when the lights are bright. Not a doubt in my mind that Staubach, Aikman and even Danny White win that game on Sunday. Go back to the Eagle game in 2019 last game of year against their crippled defense and couldnt get in the endzone. Same old QB.

That Eagle game you referenced is the moment that cinched it for me. Head to head against Wentz, who was basically throwing to practice squad WRs. Neither had a great game, but Wentz made the one 'must have' throw he had to make, and Dak sailed his 'must have' throw way over the wide open WR.

Fair enough, and my bad on if I misinterpreted this as another take on minimizing the impact role of QB play.

 

[starman22]

Te EVERYONE that is butthurt over the post, chill out.

I wasn't looking for your agreement, but was asked to compare division games against non-division.

I understand there is more to the game, this is just one slice.

Sorry for all the hate man, people up in arms thinking your'e dissing Dak.

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Too much work. That becomes a game by game thing and you can just go to any of the stat websites and look at it yourself.

 

[CowboyFrog]

no worries, I get the people being down on Dak for sure. I'm done with the Coach speak and Bs from all of them. Its ridiculous they got smakc talked all week by the other team and media and came out and played like that...That speaks of a total team disease.

 

[CowboyFrog]

The frustrating part is he has shown it along with others....But put this organiztion in a big game they fold no matter who the core is..its a disease and its still here.
