Twitter: Dak's Efficiency Is Trending The Wrong Way

[SteveTheCowboy]

In regards to QB, Are you saying Dak is better than Burrow?

In regards to the O'line, Obviously you only read half of my reply (not that there were many words in it). Because notice I did say "or worse" or did you miss that part? If you missed it, my bad... Maybe there was too many words in my reply.. I'll shorten it next time...

Whoa there, condescending high horse!

This is not true . . It's a projection based upon generalizations and assumptions.

For me there is no emotion involved I am 46 years old and basically my whole Cowboys Fandom had been Jerry Jones . . . My youth was filled with the Rise of the great 90s and has been a roller coaster ride of Jerry's ego ever since.

After the Reign of Jason Garrett accepting Jerry's Executive Decisions comes along with being a Fan of the Cowboys . . . What was the Garrett experiment has drained me of any hope. . . . dreams . . . or expectations . . . It's Jerry's team and He does what He wants.

So there is no Hate and no being Miserable . . . I am numb

For the last 6 seasons this team has been configured and reconfigured for Dak . . . everyone and everyone has been criticized or thrown under the bus . . . And once again another off season of Everyone and anyone getting thrown under the Bus

And again The Dakstan's are demanding more resources at every offensive Position . . . because everyone is at fault and therefore can be upgraded. . . . To Help Dak . . .

This was the last chance . . . You people are not reading the room. . . . This team is about to go into rebuild mode there will be less talent or the same not more.

This was the last chance . . . Diggs, Micah, and Quinn mixing the pot. . . The Defense was on point to compete. . . .

There is no misery or hate . . . Just sitting here bidding my time . . . I waited out the Garret Experiment . . . I'll wait out The Dak experiment . . and soon when Jerry is pushing up Daisies I will still be here.

I know Stephen will still be here . . but hopefully the Public shames him into finally hiring a GM

Pay these types no nevermind. They resort to playing Internet Psychologist, probably to rationalize their own insignificance. Not worth the time to reply, except maybe an eye roll or facepalm.

Also the NFL leader with 14 fumbles.

Sure beat up on some inferior nfc least talent.How did he play against solid teams?Well, I’ll tell ya, like crap w/ the exception of the Tampa game.

The offensive line, the running game, and the WR's availability have all trended the wrong way.

Dak is not a savior. He is not a #1 overall pick in the draft with the prototypical everything. He is a great quarterback when it comes to operating the Cowboys offense when there is something to operate.

Dak is not a 40 mil a year quarterback but that is on Jerry, not Dak. Jerry could have signed him a year before his rookie contract expired. That contract would have been far more reasonable.

You can't blame last season's early exit from the playoffs on Dak. There were far too many other variables that negatively impacted the Cowboys from progressing during the second half of the season. that includes injuries and suspensions along the offensive line that destroyed cohesion, a more serious injury to Zeke than reported, and an underperforming WR's squad.

I also suspect that the physical issues with Dak was not new, but residual from his devastating injury in 2020. Simply put, that type of medical care required a more lengthy period of time to completely heal. A player may be able to physically perform but what I have seen in the past is that it takes another year for that player to truly return to form.

When Michael Irvin returned in 1990 after his injury in 1989, he was definitely not the same. As a rookie in 1988, he was trending towards being special. The injury caused him to miss the last ten games of 1989 and the first five games of 1990. He ended up with only 20 receptions in 1990. before the 1991 season I distinctly recall Joe Theismann, then a TV analyst, mention that Irvin could still be a viable backup. That year Irvin became a 1st team All Pro with 1523 yards.

Depending on how much the Cowboys repair the offensive line, it is entirely possible for Dak to reverse this "trend", which, quite frankly, is only a half season.

Recall that, before the injury and even during the first half of 2021, Dak was the top rated quarterback operating the top rated offense in the NFL. From there, a quarterback really only has one direction to trend.

It's all the above including Dak… Joe Burrows got the Bengals to the SB with a line that is equal or worse than ours... Just sayin...

Much worse line.

 

[G2]

"His record against non-conference teams" in 3...2...1...

 

[G2]

Much worse line.

Explain. Because when push came to shove in a win or go home game, our O line was the main culprit.

And how did his Wr, ol, rb, and oc do against solid teams. The team played well vs the great Belicheck, Chargers, Tampa

“Ohhh, but look at his stats!”The only stat I care about is W’s when it counts.What is w/ everyone’s infatuation w/ all the stats except for the one that really counts?Blows my freakin’ mind, the apologism on this site.How could anyone look in the mirror and say Dak played well?”Ohhh, but it’s everyone else’s fault.”

Don't get sucked in by this dude man.. He keeps quoting that bogus fumble stat for Dak even though 1) Dak did not turn the ball over on all those and 2) snaps rolled to him or sailed over his head are charged to the QB not the center. Stats never tell the whole story .. but they tell you some of it.. but if you didn't watch the game they are useless. People who didn't watch a game and cite a QB throwing 3 picks but all three bounced off receivers' hands is the most glaring example.. but not the only one. We all watched games when Dak played poorly and we lost. We also watched games where he played pretty well.. and we lost. It's not a hard distinction.. If he played well and some other unit failed there is nothing wrong with stating that.. It's not apologism.. It's stating fact. Sometimes Dak can play pretty good and we still lose. In those games people jumping up and down with "Dak lost." are just being idiots. Our receivers dropped 8 balls in the Denver game.. 6 in the first half alone.. Just cut that in half and how different is that game? How many drives keep moving? How many end in scores? Yet people watched that game and came away with nothing more than "Dak sucked." Like all the other screwups perpetrated by the other guys didn't matter. You have to put things in context, man. Plus or minus..

7 of which he recovered himself because they were aborted snaps that he either had to scoop up and try to make a play or just fall on.. Dak lost 6 fumbles this season.. No matter how many times you post the same lie it's never going to be true.. But keep doing you..

Website rating isn't a stat.. sorry.. It's somebody's opinion..

Dak Prescott led the NFL with 14 fumbles.

Is that true or false?

True, but that’s what a lot of people base info on.Me,personally, I like the eye test and tape.That’s how I judge, not some meaningless deceiving stats.

That's arguably the most laughable ranking in the history of idiotic rankings. No one in their right mind watched the 49ers game and came away with "out O line is the best in the NFL!"
Lmao, good God....

I mean you watched the 49ers game (I assume) and believe Dak is elite...

So, yeah.

You wouldn't attribute wins and losses to one player if it didn't fit your narrative.

Answer me this 1 question: Do you think Dak played well this year? I don’t care about meaningless, hollow stats either.

 

[RonnieT24]

Dak Prescott led the NFL with 14 fumbles.

Is that true or false?

Sure it's true. but only because of a quirk in how the NFL scores bad snaps.. They count those against the QB.. I don't agree but it is what it is.. Dak threw touchdowns on two occasions after picking up a snap that Biadasz rolled to him. Is it your contention that we should treat those plays as "turnovers?" I defy you to go back and find 14 times when Dak fumbled this season.. Since you enjoy posing sucker bets. How about this one.. If you can't find 14 plays where Dak fumbled in 2021 you will delete your account and not post for a year.. And it can't just be your word.. I need playsheet corroboration. Go through the game logs.. post video.. whatever.. just find the 14 fumbles and get back to me..

I'll wait..
