Why disguise and confusion is no problem for Cowboys Dak Prescott

[Relayer]

Had the same thought. The Fangio defense he's struggled with most is now in house. Could be beneficial.

It's possible. But last year was one of Dak's best and it wasn't because he had a tough defense to go against in practice.

 

[TwentyOne]

There has been so much talk about how improved the defense of the Dallas Cowboys will be this season. With a new coaching staff and so many new additions, the unit is primed to take huge steps forward this year. Many of the changes revolve around a new concept of creating confusion for opposing quarterbacks. With Christian Parker leading the charge, the defense will look to disguise their intentions and move around after the snap to create all kinds of problems for the quarterback.

Of course confusion is no problem for this guy.

The guy was born confused. He is the definition of confusion. Confusion doesnt have a problem with confusion. How could it. Its normality for it.

 

[Relayer]

Nothing says that better than winning 7 games 2 years in a row.

I put plenty of blame on Dak. Not for last year though. Unlike some I don't give him a pass for his entire career because of last year's defense.

 

[Relayer]

I think he meant, practicing against that defense will help him indirectly.

But hey don't let logic, get in the way of your Dak hate.

When preparing for a game don't they practice against the practice squad?

 

[Relayer]

Wait, is it 1990's again...

Who turned on the time machine without permission... who is in charge around here!!!

It was me. I'm worried I might have overcooked it though and dialed in the 80's.

 

[Relayer]

Show us where its not true. I'll give him the Bucs game (a team with a losing record, btw), but that Seahawks game was flukey. Didn't they lose their punter?

Zeke had a lot to do with that game.

 

[Relayer]

It doesn't matter if it's true or not.

It's a dumb comment given the point of the thread. Anti dak people just love to cry about him every chance they get lol

And some people don't want anything but praise posted. It's a 2 way street.

 

[Relayer]

Last year’s defense was extra special bad though.

Last year's defense deserves the criticism. It hasn't always been the case though.

 

[Relayer]

no matter what, Dak will never look as bad as Dumb Face did

Eli was a gift that kept giving. But he has 2 rings and was clutch both times. Like Hurts, who I'm not a fan of either, they both stepped up in the SB.

 

[Relayer]

Was the highest paid. Until yesterday now that Mahomes is gonna make half a billion dollars.

He's earned it though.

You’re a special kinda DDS.

Stats do not exist in a vacuum.

You can only put up MVP numbers by being an MVP quality QB.

Has a QB ever won MVP on a losing team? Not that I recall. Which is why he was only in the running for MVP in some people's minds, but then reality happened.

 

[Relayer]

Possibly true, but by default, a QB's numbers are extrapolated when having to throw the ball 50x a game. No better example than Burrow, and Darnold came close to a Top 5 MVP vote as well, but did not have the numbers Dak did, largely because he wasn't asked to do so..and FYI, I take Dak over Darnold all day, every day

Except Darnold seems to have turned the corner.

 

[Redsfan_83]

Except Darnold seems to have turned the corner.

He still had 14 int's, but the Hawks didn't ask him to do too much, and played within his limitations. He had that awful 4 int game where everybody in the world gave up on him, except his coach/team. Perfect proof you don't need an overpaid QB

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/awards/ap-nfl-mvp-award.htm

There is no need to single out the quarterback position as the qualifier. No NFL Most Valuable Player has ever played on a losing team. This is why a handful of members (including myself) emphasized the likelihood of Dak Prescott winning the award last season, during the season, was extremely remote.

The Associated Press votes for the award. The AP is made up of people. People's perceptions dictate who gets ANY award. And perceptions take in the entire team's efforts along with the player. Any casual knowledge of how players have always been named MVP would have tempered expectations. Or it should have.

Both Brett Favre and Barry Sanders are the only two players named MVP who played on teams that finished the regular season closest to 0.500 or below. Their respective teams finished 9-7 in back-to-back regular seasons.

Nope. Nobody wants that.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

what!?

 

[Relayer]

How many games did Dak throw 50 times?

I think you can still count wins when he threw 40+ times on one hand.

 

[Relayer]

Nope. Nobody wants that.

Come on, we have people who instantly blamed his fiancee for being a golddigger as soon as they heard the wedding was off. No idea who's fault it was but instantly dumped on her.

 

[Relayer]

ahh, the typical DDS comeback..if anyone doesn't just dump on dack 365x24x60x60, then they are saying he is great, awsome, blah blah blah...never fails. its like clock work.

I never said he is great... but your sarcastic remark was deserving of being called out.

such is the Hate Dak Cult...what are you going to do.
