CFZ The QB position needs to be addressed

[88sAndHeartbreak]

Not much you can do when YOU JUST AREN'T ACCURATE....he is what he is, and it isn't changing....gonna have to live with it for now because of Booger and Chuckles.

This was earlier this year... *spoiler* he has gotten better.

Dak Prescott is ranked 5th in NFL history in lowest INT percentage. Only Rodgers, Mahomes, Brady and Wilson have a lower all time INT percentage.

Dak Prescott is ranked #2 in NFL history for career completion percentage at 66.7%. Only Drew Brees has higher at 67.7%.

Dak Prescott is ranked 12th in NFL history in yards per attempt.

Dak Prescott is ranked #5 in NFL history for career passer rating.

All these rankings are based on all QB's in NFL history since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger with a minimum 2000 pass attempts. There are a total of 141 quarterbacks in this group.

I’m absolutely floored that you’re such a huge fan of the team, so big in fact you don’t even realize one of your players wore a “mental health matters” pair of cleats for “my cause my cleats” yet you told me to off myself lol. What a joke. Not to mention the QB you’re repping for lost his brother to suicide… You sound like a crazy Philly fan. It’s never that serious. Chill.



Is that supposed to scare me lol? IM SO SCAREDDD

I mean. You did lie and say everyone knew. Yet. Once I called you out multiple posters were confused and figured you out.

Regarding the other quote in this. Yeah thats crossing a line. You should report that. Honestly. We dont need that here on this board.

Another great example why people hate cowboys' fans. Go root for another team dude. Take your unjustified haterism with you.

 

[Beaker42]

He seems somewhat off at times, but this is a bad time to regress, we have a legit shot at winning in 22 or 23. We could do a lot worse that Dak

We could do better, too. He’s not worth what he’s being paid.

LMAO - so critiquing is now haterism? Guess your boss hates you for giving you an evaluation.

 

[G2]

We have the most.....challenged "fan base."

As title states, the QB position needs to be addressed.


Regardless of how you feel about him, there are facts that cannot be denied. Dak has thrown at least one Interception in every game he has started this season (except the Vikings game). The turnovers HAVE to stop. I don’t care if it’s miscommunication or simple lack of ability, TAKE CARE OF THE BALL. It is his SOLE responsibility to get the ball into the hands of the playmakers and he gets it in the hands of the opposing playmakers. It’s why we lost against the Packers. It’s why we struggle in every first half of games.


That leads me to my next point— STOP THE COLD STARTS. The cold starts HAVE to STOP. When we play Philly. When we play in the playoffs, these little prissy teams like the Colts, Lions, and Bears may allow that to slide, but the Eagles won’t. The 49ers (who are still a good team, mind you. They won 33-17 last night, have CMC, an excellent defense, and a great coaching staff). Even Bucs and Brady. They will not allow this self destruction. And what happens when we self destruct early? We start to throw. And what happens when we throw too much and rely on Dak? We lose. It’d be another wasted year, except worse. A wasted talented defense (with run flaws). Waste of Pollards last cheap and excellent year.


He threw for 170 yards last night and still played poorly. The run game and defense are what saved this team. He had short field on majority of his drives and struggled and was only saved by our run game and ridiculous catches made by Ceedee and Gallup. Something needs to be done. Now we need a plan of action.


Next year’s draft isn’t looking too good for those looking to invest in QBs and we can’t trade. We’ll likely need to draft in 2024 for a QB. We need to prepare now. Sign Pollard, cut Zeke, prepare for Dak to leave in 24/25 ish and go from there.

Until then, we need to make like McVay in 2018 when he got Goff to a Super Bowl. Hide his flaws as much as possible. It will be hard because Dak’s intangibles are much harder to hide that Goff’s, who’s only real intangibility was inability to read a defense.

Anyone else have any input on what should be done? What can we do to assure this team’s chances of success can remain high?

I completely agree. Dak is making the Dak turds look soo dumb that if we dont make a QB change soon they might just disappear forever.

 

[CowboyRoy]

I agree somewhat. Dak is good enough but we need a game changer at QB. Were stuck with Dak now. We are in win NOW mode.

I completely agree. We need a game changer at QB. A guy that gets 60 instead of 50.

 

[Tabascocat]

OP........LOL

OMG, I can’t stop crying

 

[Runwildboys]

Dak does have bad games.

They can be real clunkers when it happens. [Week 1]

How many QBs don't?

 

[Runwildboys]

OP........LOL

Holy crap, I wasn't expecting that!

 

[buddieluver]

I wish people would look at Dak contract before starting threads like this he is our QB the next 4-5 yrs.

 

[BourbonBalz]

Facts is without however many turn overs, last night would have been a dog fight. No one can rely on their defense to have that kind of game against better teams. Obviously we have fans that only see stats, something that Dak loads up, but definitely doesn’t tell the true story. Stats don’t say when a crucial turnover took place, when we stop scoring and moving the ball for an entire forth quarter, etc. Even when everyone can see with their own eyes where we’re headed, it will be someone’s else fault. If he throws interceptions it will be receivers fault, if he gets beat by pints it will be defenses fault, if it’s just his fault it will be blamed on refs. Dak won’t ever take responsibility for his mistakes, which is a quality that will hold him back. His fanboys will tell you to go get another team, call you a troll, ignorant, say you don’t understand football, ask if you’ve played, etc. They don’t understand the word Deflection or that it’s a defense mechanism. This years excuse will be run defense, in reality it it will be all of the above but not bc of Dak. Hope I’m wrong, but he isn’t the 3 round pick that outperformed his contract anymore. He’s just an overpaid mediocre qb that has to have strong supporting cast in order to succeed. If Jalen Hurts asks for 40 million and loses his weapons as well as can’t pay the defense then expect the same in a few years. I’d gladly eat crow if he get past the nfc championship or even get to the nfc championship.

At least get the information correct if you’re going to criticize. Dak was a 4th round pick. He was picked very late in the 4th with a compensatory pick. All the rest of your post was bull****.

 

[Runwildboys]

Jerry Jones committed to Dak Prescott in late October 2016. Early last year, Jones quadrupled down on Prescott by signing him to a $160 million dollar contract.

It is 2022. Some people are years past kidding themselves. They're on acid.

Nah, that would help.

Pathetic.

 

[pugilist]

Kellen needs to call 2-3 designed QB runs per game, whether it’s a draw, off the RPO, or option. Not implementing this threat into the offense is giving the opposing defense an advantage

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Wow! Dak has to be ruining some of these guys lives. They have to be all on the job talking bad about Dak. All at home talking bad about Dak. Rolling off the top of their wives talking about...then he threw an interception. These guys are obsessed.

Then why is he PAID like Dan Marino in 2022 dollars? For what he's being paid, he sucks.

That's the price of keeping a starting QB in the NFL. You don't pay Dak $40m someone else does and your team is sucking *** while you spend a decade looking for a starting QB. The QB search is a total crapshoot. Selecting him in the first round is no guarantee. Those are misses at least as often as they're hits, and you miss on those guys it will you set your organization back years. Dak's 40-mil puts him tied for #8 highest-paid QB in the NFL. Herbert, Hurts, Jackson, etc are coming up and will knock Dak out of the top-10. Does that make his money tenable?

Besides that, Dak is averaging more than 35 points a game in his starts, most of ANY QB in the league, and over 40 since Tampa. He could be Russel Wilson, Kyler Murray or Desean Watson at or pushing $50m. Rather have Wentz at $32m or Cousins at 35? It'll be interesting to see what it takes to keep him next time, but right now Dak's points to money ratio looks pretty good to me. And it's not like this is new. Dak led the #1 offense in the league last year too. You can argue post-season and have a point, but Dan Marino never won a ring.
