CFZ Dak is Good Enough to Drive the Bus

[CowboyoWales]

So excuses why the other teams lost as opposed to Dak and the team winning?

Pretty weak attempt saying Eagles didn't care. The division was on the line at that point, and they didn't care as not to expose their defense?

Dallas beat TB, because they were simply the better team at that time.

Can you just admit Dak did well in those games? Is it that hard to do, so we get lame attempts as to why the other teams lost?

Yes Dak played well in the Eagles and even better in the Buccs Game. I'm no 'hater', though I have concerns that teams have worked Dak out, where possible they'll sit in coverage and as Ward said 'challenge Dak to beat them'.

 

[CowboyoWales]

And I will agree with the inconsistent part at times, but to say the man has "never" played well against good teams... thats not the truth bro.

Now... you brought up how much he's paid, correct?? Well other than Mahomes, Brady, and Barrow (i don't believe Barrow has been paid yet)... name me the other high paid quarterbacks with max dollar contracts that are TRULY playing up to the worth of their contracts.

Firstly, I never said he 'never' played well against good teams.
Allen and Stafford have both exceeded Dak's achievements. Again, the concern is that Dak needs weapons and weapons cost CAP.....with Dak it's that he's not showing that he can step up when needed and that's the crux of the payment question.

Well the rule is... when we win, it's because of other players and factors. When we lose... its Dak's fault, always!!! Missed kicks, a special team run back by the opponents or our opponents driving down the field with a minute left for the winning fg or td.

Even though Dak doesn't play defense, special teams or kick fgs. All losses will always be blamed on him, whether it's his fault or not.

Well on the other side of the coin when we lose snd he doesn’t play well then the excuses are that he’s not surrounded by enough weapons, the Oline was hurt, the WRs ran wrong routes etc. It’s the same for all extremes here. People just need to admit that this all equals “inconsistency” He can follow a great game with a stink bomb quite often these days. I agree with this Bruschi quote. I want to see the Dak that’s tearing up Ds deep into seasons. As I’ve always said I’m in the middle…praise when good, call out when bad. I hope MM can use him better…I want to see him outside the pocket. That’s where I think he kills teams

272 yards given up by ground, 14 penalties:11 by the OL, No run game etc OL shaky hey Dak should overcome all that but Troy and roger never had to they had the best coaches and run game and OL and defenses the league ever seen..
dak should play one dimension ball and win against the best defenses but other qbs get excuses. yup he should be superman, overcome team deficiencies.

the rest of the team played a very go....e then had a stink bomb the next game. stated the exact facts those are not excuses, If you give him a consistent Line with good run game, he does play better. that all qbs our OL gets their butts handed to them us against the 9ers; no run game, poor blocking, receivers running bad routes, TEs making mental mistakes costing us time and first downs, etc etc and Daks supposed to play at high level..lmao its not an excuse, it sports, hard to play consistent good ball when the rest of the team is inconsistent and don't show up. TEAM game

This is funny. One doesn't know if Dak can carry the team or be more than a bus driver? What games/seasons have y'all been watching the past 7 seasons?

In 7 seasons played (it's actually 7 seasons in total due to Dak's season ending injury early in 2020, plus missing 5 games with another injury last year in 2022), Dak has passed for over 4k yards TWICE with one season being 98 yards from being a 5k passing season. Dak has passed for over 3k yards in every season except his rookie season (2016) and the early season ending leg injury in 2020. In 2020, Dak only plated for 4.25 games due to his early season ending leg injury, but he was averaging 436 yards passing/game. Do the math. During that 16 game season, Dak would have easily shattered Peyton Manning's NFL record single season record of 5,400 since Dak was on pace to pass for almost 7k yards that season. Yet, all of that is not enough to make some realize Dak is more than a bus driver?

Nothing like fuzzy math and the records that might have been, it’s a funny slant on a season that started horribly. It’s like those playoff games he stunk it up in but it’s because of the other jags he plays with that holds him back in the playoffs funny how those jags aren’t mentioned when you spew his fantasy almost NFL records. Beats up on a 3 string Washington team the last game to pad his stats and get a team record after sucking the previous weeks, Dak’s a bus driver at best you know it so does anyone who watches him play. The hope of the team rests with the D Dak will unfortunately be the key to critical losses it’s just who he is.

A bus driver might be good enough to win the NFC but it isn't to win a SB. And he's going to have to put 3 good games together to get there.

Your hatred is what truly stinks. Even Mike Martz broke down every Dak interception, including the playoffs, and he explained how more than half were not on Dak. You believe you know more than Mike Martz, especially at evaluating pro QBs and pro football? Go ahead. I dare you to say, "yes", so everyone can laugh at you.

 

[CowboyFanInLexKy]

Yes but will mike and jerry let him be a bus driver?? I think not, they will want him to do more than that.

That's all he is (whether Jerry and Mike let him be or not).

 

[Havic]

Get dhop in here, Dak needs as much help as the cap will allow

 

[Diehardblues]

I think most fans are more in the middle . That Dak can or could be enough with strong supporting cast.

 

[noshame]

I have seen enough of Dak Presscott to have observed his touch on a lot of different passes has improved over time as well. Last season had a reduced receivers group and a greatly injured offensive line. I don't, as a fan, carry over failure in a committed Dallas quarterback. He's not a running back and is solid even through progressing focused items.

Well gosh, I hope you're right

 

[Cowboys22]

Bus drivers don’t make top QB money and throw interceptions in the playoffs. If Dak was making 30% less and quit throwing to the other team in December and January, then yes, he’d be great to have as a starting QB. The problem is he is being paid like a Super Bowl winning QB and still turned the ball over in the playoffs.

[glimmerman]

He is good enough. Not alot of qbs are able to consistently take the team on it back and carry them to a win. We have see Dak do it in situations but not consistently. He played a great game against the bucs. Throwing those tight window passes and the bucs admitting they threw every look they could at him and he beat them. But followed it up with a lack luster performance the next game. He made 2 or 3 bad decisions and in a close game when teams are evenly matched it sometimes only takes 1 mistake. Or which team makes that 1 play that changes the game.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

I said this over and over last year, and many twisted it into an anti-Dak thread or a pro-Dak thread. This is neither of these. This is just breaking down the facts of team-building and the real-world chance of 1 in 32 that Dak could QB a team to a championship. As we've seen before, when his line is not blocking, when he gets rattled, when his primary WR gets stymied and his number 1 RB injured, he can't put the team on his shoulder and get it done.

Is this supposed to be sarcastic? There is no quarterback who meets this standard in the history of the NFL.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

Lol, Josh Allen hasn't accomplished anything that Dak hasn't, and Stafford didn't until his 13th year in the league.

People look at Allen and see potential. Whether he lives up to it only time will tell. Dak, that's pretty much set now.

As we've seen before, when his line is not blocking, when he gets rattled, when his primary WR gets stymied and his number 1 RB injured, he can't put the team on his shoulder and get it done. Or maybe he can, but we haven't seen it in the games he's played thus far, but still has it in him. Who knows? We could debate that all day....

What I'm almost certain of is that he's good enough to drive the bus if the right pieces are in place. I think he can get you there, and then some. I think he could dominate with the right guys around him, which is why I'd be hesitant to not bring in D-Hop. When an opportunity like that presents itself, I think you go and get it.

I don't even think Gallup would be mad about that, although saying to bring in Hopkins is not a bash on Gallup. I don't care what people say about last year. The dude is still a baller. And part of me knows that just Gallup, Cooks, and Lamb is a load for any team to handle, especially if they have to deal with a Tony Pollard or a Deuce Vaughn and our TE four horsemen, or whatever they end up being, but I have a feeling people will soon fear our guys. Lunda Wells is one of the best under-the-radar coaches and just doesn't get enough credit, in my humble opinion.

I can't wait to see what training camp brings. We brought in quite a bit of weaponry and you know Dallas is hosting an open competition at WR, at least I'd say. So I'm looking out for guys like Durden, Brooks, and my boy Cropper. I'm also excited to see some guys back from last year or whatever. I think pound for pound, the 2023 UDFA class is just better, and there are some ballers in that group.

Of those guys, plus our draft picks, Dallas has a chance to really construct a dynamic offense and defense. I expect the overall competition in the NFL to be up overall, too, because people are out more, football is getting bigger again, and there's an influx of athletes coming in to take jobs.. it's always fun to watch that part unfold. For now, the tension builds up as news breaks about Parsons' tweets.

With the right personnel on a Parsons-led defense, and the right tools in place for a Parsons-led offense, I have no doubt Dak can get it done with the right tools. The biggest question lingering right now is: to get D-Hop or to not get D-Hop after June 1st?

Jeez, give it a rest. YOU KNOW any Dak thread is just going to delve into the same ole points as always. Also, you thinking Dak is “just a bus driver” then you’ve lost all credibility to comment on any player. Now back to dreaming up other ways to bash Dak.
