Dallas All-Time Passing Leaders

[conner01]

Hard to believe 2750 more passing yards makes Dak the Cowboys' ALL-Time passing leader.

If he stays healthy he will pass them both this year

 

[conner01]

...I get the feeling Dak will hit the 40k club.

He very well could

 

[5Stars]

He very well could

That's would be nice, then us fans could contribute some money for a cake for him...and some milk!

 

[conner01]

Aikman never had to put up big numbers with the all time leading rusher and the great teams he had around him.

Wing a SB is a team thing. And the game has changed so much. Old passing records have to be taken in context.

 

[ShortRound]

Ok, brother. My apologies.

So who did you have in mind?

Who was around? Not much right? Darnold? Fields?

 

[AyeAtey]

Number do lie.

Like there's always 2 sides of the story.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Who was around? Not much right? Darnold? Fields?

Yes. Hard Pass on Darnold and Fields. The problem with Dak is his exorbitant salary. Way too expensive.

See, we agree lol

I'll take Troy still to this day over the other two.

All that matters is championships and wins in big games.
Stats are how losers try to justify themselves.

If all that matters is championships.... then according to what you've said, Nick Foles and Trent Dilfer should be held in higher regard than Dan Marino and Jim Kelly, correct?

Then you said "stats are how losers justify themselves"?

Well why are stats used to determine drafting order, they're used to negotiate contracts, they're used to select Pro bowlers, All-Pros, MVPs and most of all.... they're used to induct players into the Pro Football Hall of Fame?

Are those losers justifying those categories as well?

How many Super Bowls do you think that team wins with Steve Walsh?

Do you think we would have been in and won the same with Craig Morton as we did with Roger Staubach?

While A QB is not the only piece, they are an important piece. I pretty much believe the answer to the two questions above is not as many.

Steve Walsh did get the only win the Cowboys had in 89. On some real great teams like we had in the 90s who knows where we would have gotten with Walsh. Aikman was clearly the better QB and although his numbers weren’t big, he made big plays when it mattered most. As for Craig Morton it’s obvious we wouldn’t have won a championship with him. He folded in some critical games including a couple of SBs with the Cowboys and Denver. He had some “choke” in him while Staubach had a lot of “clutch.” Staubach was a much better QB than Morton especially when it mattered most.

 

[GINeric]

How many does he have since he took over football operations and Jimmy’s team disbanded?

How many in the salary cap era?

One more than Jimmy got without Jerry. Jimmy had his chances in Miami.

LMAO !!

Are you really trying to put Dak in the same Cat as Marino and Kelly ??

I know your a homer , who salivates anything CHOKE, but man even this is a stretch for you ,

lmaoo

Dak is comparable to Cousins, Darnold and Mayfield . All mid tier trash

You lost accomplishments and real achievements. His rookie season he won 13 games and should have won 15.

You insult my inteligence by sticking to Jerry insults and then Dak. Go hug your calendar.

 

[KJJ]

Aikman would have had a lot struggles with the teams Romo and Dak had. Troy would had to put up big numbers which would have led to injuries and frustration. He struggled early and late in his career when his teams weren’t very good. He played some real good games earlier in his career that the Cowboys lost.

Wow.
You're desperate to defend Dak, aren't you?
Both Kelley and Marino won big games.
Both would trade places with Dilfer and Foles.
Different and Foles won big games- even Rex Grossman.
All are miles better than Dak.
And stats are a very low tiered factor in deciding all of those other things you mentioned.
Dak has padded his stats in a weak NFC East versus below.500 teams, and versus prevent defenses in big games after the Cowboys were already beaten.
But he has NEVER performed in a big game when it was in contention.

All your weak teams in the NFL? Question rested...

Never once have I brought Dak into ANY of those points I've made. You are so pressed to diminish Dak that you bring him up into posts he was never mentioned in. That's sad.

Now let's address what YOU said.....

YOU said a quarterback is supposed to make players around him better and win BIG GAMES, correct???

Well according to what you said, Nick Foles and Trent Dilfer should be held in higher regards than Dan Marino and Jim Kelly because Dilfer and Foles WON THE DAMN SUPERBOWL!!! Marino and Kelly didn't.

Foles and Dilfer did in one try what Kelly COULD NOT do in four tries. That's win the Superbowl.

Again.... YOU said that quarterbacks have to be able to win BIG GAMES..... what game is bigger than the Superbowl???

So again.... according to YOUR benchmark for quarterbacks, Foles and Dilfer should be held in higher regards than Marino and Kelly for doing something Marino and Kelly obviously couldn't do. They won the biggest game there is, correct?

As a matter of fact, according to your benchmark for quarterbacks, as of right now, Colin Kaepernick should be held in higher regard than Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson because Kaepernick got his team to a Superbowl, Allen and Jackson haven't. So Kaepernick has shown he has won bigger games than Allen and Jackson.

Again, I'm abiding by the guidelines YOU put in place. Are you going to contradict yourself? If not then everything i posted above is spot on accurate according to your preset quarterback guidelines.

Not once did I compare Dak to Marino and Kelly. As a matter of fact, I didn't even bring Dak's name up. You need to read things carefully before you respond so that you won't look uninformed in your responses.

So please read this carefully....

The person that I addressed said "a quarterback supposed to win big games". OK cool.

I said.... According to what that poster said, that means we should hold Nick Foles and Trent Dilfer in higher regards than Dan Marino and Jim Kelly because Dilfer and Foles won a Superbowl. Last time I checked, the SUPERBOWL IS THE BIGGEST GAME in professional football, correct?

I didn't make up those quarterback guidelines, I'm just abiding by them with real life facts.
