Twitter: Top 10 QBs According To Players, Coaches, and Execs

[J-man]

This Watson love is so ridiculous and unwarranted. Dude probably never even plays in a game this year, if ever again. His flash in the pan fame is almost over and I for one can't wait for him to be washed up like all the other "quarterbacks" of his type. These all world athletes always come into the league with so much hype and promise, but never seem to produce anything much for more than a couple of years, at best. It takes way more than being able to run fast and throw the ball a mile to be a successful NFL QB.
Lamar Jackson maybe in the exact same boat, but even saying, I have to ask how in the world can Deshawn be there and not Lamar? So stupid.

Unfortunately, Dak is hogtied into a marriage to his OL and the remainder of the talent at his disposal during games. If Stephen refuses to provide the talent necessary for his and the team's success, there's little Dak can do to make the available offense a reality. Stephen promised more talent additions a while back, while merely adding third-tier talents to the roster.

Time is of the essence, but obviously, it's gradually running out. Bringing in several talented players after the final cuts might well be the last gasp of hope to keep his word. We'll surely see if he's disposed to keeping his promises in the weeks ahead. If not, the possible failure of the team to seriously contend rests on him.

Going to go out on a limb and say that during his 5 years of starting (won't count injury year) Dak has, percentage-wise, had more advantages due to the players around him than almost any QB I can ever remember. Not just Dallas, but anywhere. Especially the line.

• 100% of his career he has had either a great or "only" good oline for the majority of each season. Nobody can ever say that.
• He's always had top 10 ten RB, a sometimes a top 2
• He's more often than not had a strong WR/TE group, though not as much early in his carer

Granted, Dak's been fortunate. That's in the past, but this is the present in consideration. The current OL needs help; that's just a given. If Stephen fails to tend to deliver what he's promised lately, the sad results could easily rest in Stephen's court.

I give Dak full credit for the past. It's the future that concerns me. A backup LT is a must. It should concern Stephen more than it has. We'll see if he manages to live up to his word. I'll stand firm on that. Dak had a very shaky OL last year and it cost him dearly. That isn't something I want to see in the future.

I guess we'll see.
Can't say they didn't use draft capital, as a first round pick is maxing it out. That makes 3 1st rounders on our line
But if the rookie flops, and then if Tyron misses more than a few games, we could be closer to average than good.
Then we would be more like at 15-20 other teams in the league on the line.

The top 7 can't be argued with.

After 7 is where the debate should start.

Agree, but as much as it pains me, i would still put Brady at #1...if winning SB and personal accomplishments are the standards to which we will judge a QB, he's got it over the other three above him. LOL, i love how butt hurt the Dak people are with him barely squeezing in the Top 10---=--heck he could be in battle with Carr, Cousins and Jackson for that spot. I would have him in the 11th to 13th range.

Good points, all. It's not like the Cowboys lack cap support going forward this year. We're among the top three in that respect. Hopefully, the backup support might be forthcoming, if Tyron has his normal number of missed games. Tyson will be doing great to tend to his duties at LG, without having to worry about qualifying as a necessarily capable player at LT. Hopefully, Stephen will see the signs if more help is needed. The ball is in his court.

Shan on the Fan called it. He said putting Dak at 10 ahead Jackson would cause controversy. This fake Dak fan (Chris Breausard)on Foxsports is saying the Cowboys would be much better if Jackson was the Cowboys quarterback. Jackson is probably the most explosive offensive weapon in the NFL when he is running the football but he is a bottom 5 pocket passer.

Not a Dak believer but I cant go there. Fun to watch and disappears when the lights are bright.

 

[Diehardblues]

Regardless whether it’s top 7, top 10 or top 12 it’s enough to build around .

 

[Diehardblues]

Everyone would love to have a top 5 HOF caliber QB. Unfortunately there isn’t enough to go around for 32 teams .

So, you try and find one in upper half echelon who is enough to build around. This is what most of the league has to contend with.

The better he is the less difficult it is to build around .

Id probably put Herbert in front of Stafford. But the SB win is a plus of course.

At least Dak made it in the top ten so our homer zombies dont need to do alcohol again.

He was 7th last year and 10th this year.

I'd say this is the last year he's in the top 10 of these unless he improves drastically.

At least the homers get 1 more year of bragging rights. Good for them.

The circle of hate, hates Dak and will continue to hate Dak. The Dak lovers, love Dak and will continue to love Dak. So what is there to debate about?

You are right. Dak lovers will love Dak anyways. There will be no reason someone can give to change their mind.

So for them there is no need to join the discussion.

Let the rational ones discuss about him.

Its fun to watch? LOL. So you obviously arent a Cowboys fan then.

When teams make Jackson play quarterback instead of letting him run around the field like 80s Pop Warner Football, he has problems. The Cowboys would not trade Dak for Jackson. Let’s just say it goes beyond the football field. Dak destroys Jackson with the way he carries himself and the Joneses would never pass that up.

 

[Diehardblues]

These type of analysis totally discount the theories that our lack of success is directly or solely directed at our QB.

Most likely we can direct our lack of more success at other weaknesses and flaws .

Is there some board etiquette I am not aware of where you aren't allowed to watch games not involving the Cowboys and enjoy watching football? Shrugs.

Yep but if we were looking for Dak homers wouldn’t a Cowboys fan forum be the place to look?

And why these trolls have a field day.

Most fans are more in the middle but the very vocal minority and extremes all too often is the loudest voice .

Not at all. But pretending to be a cowboys fan on a cowboys board is weird. Cheering against the QB of "your team" isnt a fan.

Rooting is one thing. Believing is another. I don't root against any Cowboy, I just don't see what others see in this QB, I hope he proves me wrong but not holding my breath.

You literally said you enjoy watching him fail. Dont backtrack now.
