Twitter: Dak Prescott owns the NFC East

[GINeric]

His overall record is 83-55-1. Meaning his record against non-division teams is 46-45-1.

46-45-1!!! Let that sink in.

Of course, don't get his infamous 2-5 playoff record.

This is great research. The only problem is, all those records are Dallas Cowboys TEAM records, not just one guy's record. This isn't boxing or golf.

It's a really bad stat for Dallas when you look at the bigger picture.

Washington and NY have been pretty awful since Prescott took over in 2016 and as a result, those 4 head-to-head games have given us a 3-1 "start" for our season. In the old 16 game format, it meant 7 wins and 5 losses from the 12 takes us to 10-6 which "looks" good but covers up the mediocrity.

We have either failed badly to capitalise on the 3-1 advantage or we just weren't that good.

Don't believe we've failed? Just look at the AFC East in the Brady years. All 3 East opponents were poor throughout (a few decent Jet teams aside) and it allowed the Patriots to garner easy wins. They picked up good (not always great) Ws outside their division which coupled with their 5ish in-division wins, landed playoffs constantly AND regular 1 seed.

so not sure if you are complaining or mansplaining things when not needed.
what's your point? what's the bad stat, when you just also talked about brady beating up the AFC east. and he won a bunch of superbowls.

everyone is talking in terms of team results. however the OP is clearly giving the QB credit for the division record. the only logical conclusion is that the division record is largely due to a decade of the division being pretty weak overall.

Neither.......also not counting anything as "Dak" stats........it's Dallas stats.

I am however saying that the NFC East in the 10 years since Dak became QB has allowed us to run up some decent winning seasons since we have weak opposition and unlike Bill P said.......our record quite possibly WASN'T what we were.

Poor coaching decisions, poor player selections, lack of toughness, lack of physicality…..I can go down a whole list. If you are soft in the trenches you won’t sniff a conference championship let alone a SB. You can trick your way to the playoffs but you can’t trick physicality or toughness. When adversity hits and you get punched in the mouth what do you do?

Did Romo prove he can beat losers or winners?

Straight from the Dak apologists playbook.

It's everybody else's fault and 'what about Romo'.

lol

 

[Vtwin]

He wasn't asked to do much. His rookie year was the game they leaned heavily on Elliot and the O-Line. The only thing he was asked to do was make the occasional pass in a dumbed down offense.

He also choked when it mattered most. Has a first down inside the 15 and settled for a FG and then did nothing with the game on the line at the end. Again settling for a FG and leaving enough time for Rodgers to exploit the other weakness for the game winner.

also, these things are always click baits, for those who are emotional about iit.

chiefs record against their own division in the past 10 years 47-13. lets not forget they had raiders, and sucky sandiego and denver was pretty bad for a short period.
does it diminish anything? I don't think so.


now, record outside the division needs to improve for sure.

I literally included "the OTHER weakness" in my analysis.

QB's are defined by what they do in the crucial moments. That game was very winnable with just one play from the QB in the two moments I mentioned.

You know... Like Rodgers did.

I have never stated how good or bad Dak Prescott has played in this thread. I have only commented on team records and what was stated by the X 'bot account', which did not post itself on CowboysZone.

It's only a "team stat" when it obscurs Dak's flaws. As soon as "the team" wins...back to praising Dak. It's the bait-and-switch that they do.

Whenever you take over a job - and you're the leader - you own everything - the past and the present. Doesn't mean you actually did the past deeds...but you own the responsibility to fix it, to overcome issues. But somehow Dak only has to "own" tossing balls to 2 all pro WRs. Everything else is "the team".

Let's reverse this: When is it EVER Dak's fault?

I mean if he's the reason we have owned the division he is also the reason for the rest of the record, right?

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

This thread is about Dak's record against the NFC East.

I said it yesterday....if you criticize Dak...in a Dak thread...it MUST mean you ONLY blame Dak?

I don't understand how the topic covers your entire perception of the team. Do you have to review every single other flaw in the entire history of the Cowbosy FIRST? (Note the Romo mention)

What is it the triggers some people into insanity about it?

 

[GINeric]

This thread is about Dak's record against the NFC East.

Yes, that's cool. But ironically, thats the same record as the Dallas Cowboys football team. Its hard to assess it as being a quarterback's record if he only plays on one out of three phases of a football game.

I know people like to say that's a quarterback's record but it really doesn't make logical sense in a team game that consists of responsibilities from 22+ players a game on a roster that consists of 53 people. Its really not a legit record for any quarterback, but whatever floats your boat.

You know a crazy quarterback's record? Aaron Rodgers is 0-4 vs Jimmy Garoppolo. Aaron Rodgers is 0-4 vs Colin Kaepernick. I guess this means Kaepernick and Garoppolo were always better quarterbacks than Rodgers.

Are you trying to use some sort of logic here?

So wait...how did you know those records? I thought it was a team stat.

Every QB in the history of the NFL gets the credit and blame. It's the nature of the position

.I bet you don't know Jeff Dellenbach's Super Bowl record...but you know Dan Marino's. Acting like this is some kind of Dak hate is ludicris.

Also...your comment is proof stats can lie. They mustyhave context and clear agenda.

The illogic here is that talking about Dak means you only blame him.

Asinine.

Remember the ol' "Dak retired brady" after that Tampa playoff game? You said NOTHING then. The "Dak gets credit for wins and the team gets the blame for losses" is a real thing. Maybe you partake maybe not...but it's real.
