Why disguise and confusion is no problem for Cowboys Dak Prescott

[Johannes44]

No problem until the playoff headlights hit. And this face starts.

Think man, if the guy throwing the ball is confused, then it's guaranteed that the play is going to be disguised.

 

[Relayer]

Is the truth meant to be funny?

Not necessarily, but sometimes it is.

 

[Relayer]

Thats the Dallas Cowboys playoff record.

There are constants. On the field, it's Dak.

 

[Relayer]

He’s just being a professional when he says that. Inside he’s cussing out the couch potatoe CZ haters for they know nothing.

This is called projecting.

 

[Relayer]

I can see Dak becoming a politician after his playing days are over.
He's good at the art of spin. Lol

Doesn't pay enough.

 

[Relayer]

When he hits FA in a few yrs would you extend him?
We both know he can't play forever. How do you feel about drafting a possible replacement within the next year or two?

I feel like it's all fantasy.

 

[Relayer]

Thats fair enough. We can agree to disagree and I respect your opinion. Im more of the "its a team game for ALL quarterbacks, not just one here or one there" type of guy.

We can't blame one player under one narrative and make excuses for other players that play the same positions in the same sport under a whole other narrative....

That just comes across as double standards/hypocrisy. Again, its just my opinion.

There are no absolutes. You can't blame them all and you can't give all of them a pass. Last year, Dak gets a pass. No QB could have won with that team. But that hasn't always been the case.

Dak ranked 4. Best non first round draft picks since 2016.

LMAO Purdy at #1. Purdy > Dak is a take that I expect to hear by dunces on this board at best. Guy looks totally different when his total guys are injured.

What ever happened to you are what your record says you are?

 

[Relayer]

Depends on how he’s playing. Yes, I hope they pick one in 27.

I hope we aren't in a position to pick one. But if we are I pray we do.

 

[kskboys]

Quinn’s Ds were opportunistic. Nothing really special or confusing about them.

And bad vs the run.

 

[Relayer]

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

Look at what he did in Minnesota too. He crumbled in the playoffs. Next year he overcame that.

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.

So after all that you agree that he wasn't in the running? That was my entire point. I'm not sure why you posted everything else.

This is called projecting.

From a Hater’s perspective.

 

[Rockport]

I hope we aren't in a position to pick one. But if we are I pray we do.

They’re always in a position to pick a QB.

 

[Relayer]

what!?

Well, don't they? The offense and defense prepare for the opponent. Not for their own team.

 

[Relayer]

From a Hater’s perspective.

Labeling someone doesn't disprove their position. It's simply trying to disparage someone rather than their argument.

 

[Relayer]

They’re always in a position to pick a QB.

Let's be real. Just because you can do something doesn't mean it's smart.

 

[DandyDon1722]

Except in January then it’s all a fog.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Well, don't they? The offense and defense prepare for the opponent. Not for their own team.

true....so they have scout team showing specific fronts for the other team. its the same for defensive preparation.

but my point is that the fangio defenses are similar, with slightly different flavors, so its about how you disguise pre-snap and post-snap looks. for example they show a pre-snap look that might be cover 1, but when QB drops into a 5,7 step drop, then they can change it to different defense that forces the QB to make quick reads and make quick decisions. fangio defense is really good at that, specially where they bring pressure, so even pre-snap requires reading defensive alignment to determine the OL blocking to where they expect pressure comes from.

 

[Redsfan_83]

Look at what he did in Minnesota too. He crumbled in the playoffs. Next year he overcame that.

He is on the perfect team for a QB like him
