Well, Sam Darnold led the Seattle Seahawks to their franchise 5th NFC Conference finals. Will be his first, which makes him a better QB than Dak Prescott.
Sure, all the stats will be thrown out saying Prescott is but stats are for players contracts.
Fans --which Dallas fans are starving for-- ONLY care about ONE thing....WINS.
Then Dallas fans will say Prescott has more wins that Darnold then I say, the ONLY stats fellow starving Cowboys
care about is (FIRST) getting to a NFC Conference finals, which Prescott, nor Romo, has ever accomplished.
Then Dallas fans could/might say, Seattle has a better team around Darnold.
Then again, I say it is about WINS and if the Seahawks have a better team, which now Demarcus Lawrence plays
for and a ProBowler, then that blame directly on the grocery shopper. He buys the groceries and hired the coaches.
Like Demarcus Ware, Mr. Lawrence and future ( or current) Dallas players must get out of Dallas if they want to even play in a NFC Conference game because Jerry's Pride will never allow this franchise to see another conference finals.
It is a business first and the players knows
So I hope Mr. Lawrence gets a chance to play in a Supwerbowl, maybe win it and down the line, sign his one day contract as a Dallas Cowboy as Mr. Ware did.
"Then Dallas fans could/might say, Seattle has a better team around Darnold."
And that would be facts, because yes Seattle does indeed have the better roster. That's why they are the better team. Is Darnold important? Yes.
But the question you'd need ask yourself is could Darnold's play offset the 4th worst defense all-time and win?
I think we already saw what Darnold looks like on a ****** roster, and it wan't good, was it? So, why is he the man all the sudden, since he has the best defense in the NFC that easily held the 49ers to 6 points? How does that make Sam the man?
One of these day you guys are going to wake up a realize football is a team sport, and the salary cap has prevented teams with elite QBs from building Super Bowl rosters. Seattle's defense won the game, and Darnold was there to manage the game on offense. He also has an All-Pro WR, plus a SOLID 1-2 punch running game. Let's not get it twisted.
Tom Brady and Billicheck figured iout you can' tie up 60 million a year in one player and expect to have a Super Bowl roster.
If Dak wants to be a winner, he needs to quit being greedy (his real problem) and make the necessary sacrafices that Darnold and Brady made to win -
take less money and get some complementary players that can win.
New England and Denver are good examples of what I'm saying - both have cheap rookie QBs and were able to sing the free agents to have a SB caliber roster.
Mahomes, Burrow, Prescot, Jackson, Allen (expensive QBs) all are eliminated and the team with a cheap but solid QBs and stacked roster is probably going to win it all (Seattle), but if you're going to sit here and act like Sam Darnold put the team on his back and willed his way to the NFC title game, I'm going to call you out.
