Darnold > Prescott

[GINeric]

Because we're not that dumb.

Its not about being that dumb, its about the fact that he couldn't do what quarterbacks like Trent Dilfer, Brad Johnson, Colin Kaepernick and Nick Foles were able to do.
They made it to Superbowls and none of them made nearly the money Josh Allen is making.

So im not sure Allen can get excused.

oh the feelings being thrown around.

 

[BLEU3ASY]

Comical, you deserve a few sets at the laugh factory. Lol. This is the take of two totally different teams there bub.

 

[rags747]

No doubt. It's clear the problem with Darnold was the Jets.

Darnold was only 20 years old when drafted. The book on him was that he was super talented but very raw. We are now seeing all of that potential and talent.

 

[Hadenough]

Debate is over!!!!
Darnold is way better than Dak. Dak could not of made some of those throws Darnold was making. Stats don’t mean jack when your level of play drops to a back up level in the playoffs. What the whole world witnessed was defenses were getting gashed, and QBs stepped up. We saw what Darnold did on a bigger stage than Dak has ever been on. Dak Stan’s can shut their big mouth now!

 

[FoxF]

Why was Darold drafted before him? And actually outplayed him when he was on the horrid Jets team and Dak had a much better roster…

I do not recall Darnold ever outplaying Dak, and was a failure with the Jets. Thats why they got rid of him.

My point was really about Darnolds reputation for always folding in the playoffs, since many view Dak that way. But give Darnold a good coach and supporting players and Super Bowl.

Aaron Rodgers was a failure with the Jets and he's one of the all time great quarterbacks.

The Vikings' offensive line got obliterated last season in the play offs. It was similar to the line Romo had against the Vikings all those years ago in the play offs. They didn't play well but no quarterback in the history of the NFL would have won either game.

Darnold's salary would have saved us $30 mil a year. That's a lot of money that can be used to shore up the D. Darnold + $30 million would have gotten us into the playoffs.

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.

Oh

Rodgers was kind of washed up, told the Jets who to bring in via free agency, got hurt his first year and played terrible his second if I remember correctly. Either way it supports my statement that there is hope for Dak if you follow Sam’s career. We agree he needed better talent and organization.

Not sure if the Vikings agreed with your assessment as they dumped him for an unproven rookie. However, neither of your statements go against my original point. Sam was in fact viewed as a failure in big games until this year.

Like many perceive about Dak, so there is hope in Sam’s story.

 

[Eddie]

So ... does Darnold hold out for a new contract?

There's no hope for Dak's career when he's pulling $60 mil a year and there's no money left over to build a team. Sam's success is partly due to his team friendly contract which gives the team the ability to build a team around him. When Dak's contract runs out in 2 years, Jerry is going to panic again and give him $75 mil a year.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Umm, do you see the defense Seattle has dude? This Dak hate is already past old. Main reason why I don't respect this forum like I used to.

So when we ragged on romo that was okay.

Hopefully we have a good draft and Jerry says screw the cap and go’s for it via free agency. Our window is now, but my expectations are low.

Nice avatar, I am a metal guy too. That’s Judas Priest in my avatar.

 

[shabazz]

oh the feelings being thrown around.

Espn too..........for some strange unknown reason, most of the analysts weren't giddy about the final 4 QBs left in the playoffs.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Darnold-8 years and 5 teams and finally makes a Super Bowl

Dak-10 years and 1 team and…

So i see where you're going with this , i think.

Dak going to another team might be a great solution. Dak fans can see him win everything on another team. The told ya so's would be grand.
The dak critics get to move on.

That's about 60% happy.

We do have about 20% that just want us to win, dak or not.

Then we have 10% that want dak here no matter what just to aggravate things.

10% had no opinion in this scientific poll.

So darnold did nothing. Cool.

 

[Captain-Crash]

dak isn't mentally strong enough to win anything. He never has. What was his record against the teams in the playoffs? I think I read it was 1-5-1. I'm old, so this could be wrong.

Breakdown (based on the SI summary)

Total games vs 2025 playoff teams: 7

Wins: 1

Losses: 5

Tie: 1

Explanation: SI specifically said that stat was a defining number for Dallas — they beat only one playoff team out of seven matchups, and the tie came vs another playoff team.

Im in the percentage that wants the Cowboys to win a SB without Jerry Jones ownership.......neither part of that scenario happening anytime soon.

He had his best opportunity in the 19-12 divisional loss to the Niners.

It was his equivalent to Romos 26-21 divisional loss to the Packers.
