Video: Chris Canty, “Dak Prescott is the most overrated player in the NFL”

[Starforever]

Canty is nothing but a Cowboy hater. He excoriated Dak for losing to a QB that SF wants to get rid of, and he emphasized Dak losing at home. That same QB also beat Aaron Rodgers at home before losing to the Rams, but Canty did not mention Rodgers losing.

Why do you bring those names to the conversation? You see Manning and Marino when you watch Dak?

No I don't see Manning and Marino when I watch Dak.

I brought up Manning and Brees because there are people who aren't too smart that called Dak a bum, they said he should be traded, he should be cut, and he sucks because he only won ONE playoff game in his first 5 full seasons....

So I mentioned the fact that P. Manning and Drew Brees only won ONE playoff game in their first five full seasons as well, but with less overall numbers than Dak. So I asked these 2 or 3 geniuses... if Dak, the 4th rounder is a bum because he's only won one playoff game in his first 5 seasons... what does that make those other two 1st and 2nd round quarterbacks with one playoff win in their first 5 seasons with LESS stats than this supposed 4th round bum???

Well... it took them some time to respond, then ahhhh.... they came with built-in excuses about offensive coordinators and this and that....

But for some reason, Dak never gets the benefit of the doubt of the coordinator topic and the excuses they got. Its a team sport for everybody else but Dak. **** is hilarious!!!

People then talked about the need to have an elite quarterback in order to succeed. I brought up Marino to show that every elite quarterback to have played the game didn't always win a championship.

I also brought up the quarterbacks like Dilpher and Foles who won championships but definitely aren't elite. Dak is not elite, but he's a very good quarterback.

This is how Manning and Marino came up.

I think the major flaw in your Manning/Brees theory is that with those guys we have the benefit of hindsight.

We can look back on their careers and see how great they became and how great they turned out.

There are 100s of other QBs that never amounted to anything in the NFL. Manning and Brees are top 10 all-time QBs. They are outliers.

If Dak is going to turn out like Manning or Brees then great, but what if he turns out like a Daunte Culpepper, Josh Freeman, or Jake Plummer?

Decent enough guys, but never was great, and never became great.

Not every QB is going to be great, in fact, MUCH MUCH MUCH more QBs are going to be completely average instead.

My question for you is what happens when Dak reaches the point in his career when Manning and Brees have won MVPs and led their teams to Super Bowls? Are you going to have a couple more QBs that didn't do anything until year 9 or 10 lined up? Is it never ending? Is there ever a point where you say " ya know, maybe Dak just isn't good enough"?

P.S. Cowboys fans would have done the same thing with Manning and Brees that they do with Dak if they weren't leading this team to playoff success. At least I know I would have been doing the same thing.

No 9 or 10 years is too long. As a matter of fact, Dak imo has to find a way to take a serious leap, barring injury. This year and ESPECIALLY next year is all im giving him.

With that said, Stafford didn't do anything special or win playoff games until after 9 or 10 years, so it can be done!!!

But my original point was... people didn't talk all that bum talk for those other quarterbacks after just 5 seasons, so give the man another season or 2 at most to show his maturity. Everybody don't mature at the same speed, and I don't want to be like Washington.... juggling different quarterbacks in and out like the Playboy Mansion in the 80s.

Too bad we won't see Dak under great play callers like other very good quarterbacks benefited from. But he has to step up.

If you say that you're only giving him 2 more years then I can respect that.

Hopefully Jerry feels the same way.

You'd have a much better time on this site if you learned to ignore the Dak sucks/Dak is top 10 all time crowds. Neither side has a clue and both just sit there spatting and reiterating the same tired nonsense.

What really sucks is we know how this year's story ends and next year and the following year.
The biggest next move for this franchise is post Dak.
The only way to win with him in the interim is a dominant run game (broken down Zeke, Rookie LG, Aging LT, Questionable RT and C) and a killer defense(Armstrong, Gallimore and Odiggy).
Can't wait for the season to start.......

 

[PackerNation]

Dak turns 29 in a week. He is what he is. He isn't going to take a "leap" up in his play at this point in his career.

Dak is a above average QB. Some Cowboys fans obviously have a very high opinion of him, but outside of the bias in Texas, Dak is not thought of as anywhere near elite. Unless you're talking to Skip Bayless, and I don't even think Skip thinks Dak is elite or a top tier QB in the league.

Dak is for sure overrated by some Cowboys fans, but I really don't see anyone else gushing over Dak.

Well our front office definitely didn't help our chances to win as a team due to poor off-season management. With that said, i don't believe Dak is going to be our Achilles heel this season, but there are definitely people waiting in line once again to place ALL blame for EVERY loss we have this year.

Dak could have a complete game and our defense could give the game away with penalties.... they will still blame Dak.

Our kicker could miss a 8 yard fg for the win... they will still blame Dak.

Dak could miss an entire game due to injury.... if we loss a game he plays in, they would blame Dak.

Dak could be traded away to another team, but the next time we lose with his replacement.... they'll STILL blame Dak.

According to some here on this board, any good Dak has done, its overlooked and the Cowboys wins are because of one of our other players or some other BS spin. But according to these same losers, everytime the Cowboys lose, its ALL Dak's fault, no matter how well he's played.

Real intelligent fans and also many NFL players, coaches, execs, GMs, and scouts know what we have in Dak right now, so...

 

[88sAndHeartbreak]

I was told Dak was a bum because he didn't overcome 14 penalties, a defense that couldn't stop the run, and a inept coaching staff in the playoff game vs the 49er's. I was told those were excuses... lol.

Now yall giving HIM a timeline to get things done... are yall serious?

 

[Typhus]

But Brady, based on production is the ONLY quarterback truly worth max money. I agree that Dak should have taken less to be able to spread more around.

Thats so ridiculous that Im having a very hard time trying to say it the right way.
You endorse Dak because you believe in his ability and rank him much higher than most, but comparing what Brady is able to do financially has absolutely zero correlation to what you endorse the most.
Im obviously and historically havent been easy on Daks abilities athletically, but no way have I ever blamed Dak for taking what he bent this FO over for.
That is Jerrys fault, not Daks, and comparing Bradys financial status to Daks... lol
Bradys wife makes a lot more than he does, Gisele pays the bills, and Brady just plays for gas money.

 

[PackerNation]

Bradys wife makes a lot more than he does, Gisele pays the bills, and Brady just plays for gas money.

Gisele hasn't been active in modeling for about 6 years. She is worth somewhere around 400 million, but most of that was made long ago.

Brady just signed a $375 mill deal with Fox Sports and is still raking in an average of 25 mill a year in the NFL.

Together they are doing just fine, but at the moment Brady is bringing in more new money to the mountain of wealth that is accumulating.

2021 FACTS
They had an 11-0 record when rushing for 100+ yards in 2021.
They were 1-6 when rushing for <100 yards in 2021

Why do they need to pay a QB 2.5 million per game?
When the run game isn't clicking you need a QB who can overcome.
That is what teams pay 2.5 million per game for. Elite play.
I would be very upset if I were the Jones boys. ROI not very good.

So we had trouble running the ball on 5-6 man fronts...so I have this straight you want to lessen the pass game and see how we do against 7-8 man fronts? "Its a bold strategy Cotton"

That 1 in the 6 was against the Vikings with Cooper Rush.

0-6 with Dak in those games.

I've posted this before, but we've only won 6 games in Dak's entire career where the Cowboys had less than 100 rushing yards.

 

[DeaconMoss]

Cotton's strategy is find a QB who can win a few of those games when the run game isn't clicking with his passing ability.

I'm for it who you got right now? And the Cotton reference is from a movie. again if we ignore the fact that the current QB is only counting 20 mill towards the cap this year and the production...who are you getting for that and better production right now?

And yet...it's okay to predict and root for Zeke's demise?

I don't know your stance that is why I asked. Not a trap or insult. I don't remember seeing you object to these same Zeke comments.
