Dak on the next step for the Cowboy's offense

[cmoney23]

Dak is only a leader on paper. No one actually listens to him.

OMG... the one thing that EVERYONE agrees on is that Dak is a great leader.... I know haters are gon hate, but SMH.

 

[Whyjerry]

Dak will be 31 in July. 8 years in the league. Worth noting. He has been given plenty of time.

 

[DallasEast]

Yep and to make matters worse, 2025 could be one of the weakest QB classes in years. I know it is early but Lance is better than any projected 2025 1st round QB.

You could be proven right eventually but that assessment is way too early. Evaluated quarterback prospect move up and down the grade chart each draft regardless of the cumulative size of any annual class.

No currently known quarterback prospect may rise above Trey Lance during the 2024 collegiate season. One or more unknown QB prospect may surface and exceed Lance's projected potential. The draft is always a crap shoot and that goes equally for the prospects in a draft.

OMG... the one thing that EVERYONE agrees on is that Dak is a great leader.... I know haters are gon hate, but SMH.

'Some' or 'most' may be true but 'everyone' is false. You state 'haters are gonna hate'. Subsequently, any hater will likely not agree Dak Prescott is a great leader and would automatically be excluded from 'everyone'.

Jeebus ........ He got that same deer in the headlights look when they asked him the question as he does in the playoffs.


Until he gets his head right in the post season ....... this "offense" will never take the next step.

 

[5Stars]

He's lacking confidence .......... that's for sure

Dak has this! This is the SB year for him. Elite is all that can be said, nothing else.

 

[starfan1]

I very rarely mention myhomes....lol. nice try.

It doesnt matter if you'r the best or worst...still critical.

A qb can make up for a trench mistake....but trench cant make up for qb mistake....not easily. Maybe pick uo a fumble ot tackle the intercepter.

you didnt mention him specifically yet your posting style references a QB with Mahomes mannerisms. some of yall like put all things in a vaccum well dak threw 2 crucial picks that put us down 14 points well yes he did and he has to own that but all picks are not created equal. It can be on the QB , Receiver or the route design or the defensse just won.

You guys that want to just blame the QB either never played football or just too stubborn and want to be right. That being said we can move on as when the lights are brightest Dak and the cowboys team seem to get stupid

 

[nobody]

that isnt what you first implied.

I think he and several others thought it more a party than a serious attempt at a SB run before.

Not sure where you found my comments that i only blame qb. Or how you missed i also blame o line, d, and coaching/ game plan/adjustments. There are plenty.

Typicalky if its a dak thread i talk dak....bit I will try to blame everyone else first every time before picking on dak.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

What are you talking about? Thinking it could happen, and hoping it will happen does not equate to being certain that it will happen. What a bizarre thing to say..

Fair enough. If I say I think something will happen I’m standing on what I think will happen. I guess when you say it you think there a percentage it won’t happen?

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Think means it might.

Know means it might. People get know wrong all the time.

 

[Hawkeye19]

Delusional is your constant complaints and diatribe. Study the tapes and listen to the breakdowns of those interceptions from the best pros. If you truly have an ounce of integrity, you would listen to what they have to say. Maybe then you will realize there is more to jusr blaming the QB...

This reminds me of something Parcells would say: “you are always at the party when the cops are called but it’s never your fault”

Dak apologists always have every excuse ready to blame any and everybody BUT Dak for his INTs. It’s incredible.

Look— Dak has played some of his worst ball in the playoffs when we have needed his best. When he has needed to step up— he has crapped the bed.

I have no issues with the guys regular season numbers. But he hasn’t earned the respect reserved for the elite QBs because you know what? The elite QBs play their best when they are needed the most

Go watch all the “analysts” you want on YouTube. It won’t change the fact Dak has sucked in the playoffs.

So you can't prove Kurt Warner and Cole Beasley wrong? You know football more than them? You fit right in with the Dak haters. Misinformed bunch who refuse to learn.

 

[DoctorChicken]

Why some of you people criticize every words these guys say to the media, I have no idea. Doesn’t it get old?

 

[Hawkeye19]

So you are saying Dak has “played well” in the playoffs? He has led big time drives and given us points when we have needed him to?

I am not just talking about his INTs— which he has thrown some doozies in Jan. I am talking about his slow, flat starts in big games. Go back and watch his playoff games and tell me how many games he started strongly and looked crisp and had the offense functioning at a high level.

More often than not— he has started sluggishly and had to feverishly rally to even compete. He looks like a deer caught in headlights. And his playoff numbers speak to themselves.

It is crazy that you are defending his playoff numbers. Just crazy. I can get behind his regular season production — to a degree as he still struggles against good defenses— but in January? Bro— outside of the Tampa Bay game, and the 2nd half of a couple of other games— he has not led this offense to championship production.

You can go cry to Kurt Warner, Bill Parcells, Mike Ditka, and Vince Lombardi for all I care. He has not played nearly good enough in the playoffs to match his salary.

Do some research and go over Dak's career playoff game stats. Watch some videos. I'll even be impartial and just post a video of Dak's playoff losses.



Looks like even with Dak's few turnovers in recent years, the Cowboys had a chance if our Defense would have made some stops and our Offense would have had better playmakers around Dak.

Also, Dak's career playoff stats numbers aren't bad. The Cowboys and Dak could have won more playoff games if the team overall had played better.

Certainly better numbers than you refuse to give credit. All you do is bring up Dak's 2 INTs the past 2 playoff losses in a row. Something Kurt Warner has repeatedly broken down and explained the problem was not so much Dak but the design of the plays, the bad routes that do nothing but hurt both your QB and WRs, plus the bad time to call such plays while refusing to fix those same bad route designed plays 2 years in a row.

No — I am not just bringing up his INTs. I specifically have brought up his penchant for slow starts in the playoffs — and you aren’t commenting on that at all.

He had a slow start in 2016 vs GB and had to come storming back. We were down 27-0 in the first half against GB in this latest debacle.

I don’t need to bring up the SF losses bc his numbers speak for themselves. But yes— slow, sluggish, ineffective offensive starts in those games as well.

His only outstanding playoff game was when he smoked TB and I loved that game and was thrilled to send TB 12 into retirement with a L .

Anyway— the narrative is always the same. He needs more weapons around him, a better OL, a better running game, a better defense, a better OC etc…. There is always an excuse offered up for Dak’s lack of playoff production.

That isn’t to say other players don’t also suck and underachieve— but it comes back to Dak’s contract demands and not living up to elite QB standards when we need him at his best

 

[offlimits]

I just hope that Zeke left his pitbull in NE.

Dak the OC killer, slow feet, slow read inability to make a quick decision, heck maybe KW has a few points. Dak has been a major chocking sensation the last 3 playoffs games, 14 seconds left run Dak run hand the ball to center to spot and look around when there’s no time left, poor Jerry crying in the owners box after the worse playoff embarrassment in Cowboys history, KW is full of crap and all team knows Dak choking MO.

Do you even know what you are talking about? Clearly, you don't!

You are frustratingly wrong in everything you are saying, and clearly, you don't do your research before continuing to blow smoke around here. Go rewatch the whole game of Dak's rookie playoff loss to the Packers. You will find out Dak actually started off very good, but the officials kept throwing bad flags on key throws that were brought back after big gains or non-calls on other throws where clearly the Packers committed pass interference. Those were drive killers those refs committed against the Cowboys.

Here. Do yourself a favor and rewatch the whole game to help you remember exactly what happened, instead of spewing falsehoods...
