Twitter: Dak Prescott owns the NFC East

[stiletto]

To who does it matter? Does any of that get you a Super Bowl? Ask Josh Allen. Individual accolades don’t matter.

Honestly it's all silly to talk about. After 10 years most just want him to play like the guy he is paid to and pretends to be (when he's in front of the mic)...only IN THE PLAYOFFS. Some of us argue that after all the evidence given...never happenin'. Others think it can still happen every year. He could be 55 and some would still believe "this is Dak's year".

It's like an unexperienced kid doing a science lab, thinking after the 50th time with the same ingredients and amounts each try..."this ONE will work". When in reality, it was probably time to change the formula 5 tries ago.

How was it a defensive debacle?
SF scored 19 points in the 2nd game.
And only 23 points in the 1st game.

Those 2 games are on the offense and Dak. Period. Please stop misremembering history.

Against the packers...this last playoff game!
We couldn't make.one stop. First drive they didnt have one 3rd down. They scored at ease.
If that's not a defensive debacle, I don’t know what is.

And offense laid an egg. Big ostrich egg. Did you forget how many passes Lamb dropped, killing drives. And then pouted on the sideline.

Against SF in the first playoff, we gave up 170 yards rushing. 5 sacks. And we only rushed for 177..Defense didnt play well, specially having the ball shoved down their throat. Offense wasn't that good and Dak didnt play well.

In.the second.playoff game, Diggs had a bad game. Dropped a sure interception that hit him in the hand in our end of the redzone. And whiffed a tackle for a big gain when they hit the TE down the middle.

Offense played bad. Dak played bad.

My point, new England won a game 10-6, on their way to a superbowl. They had two low scoring games. Sometimes the defense has to step up.

But here, its all Dak all the time. Either he loses the game for us and you all celebrate or ir was the rest of the team playing well and Dak is the lucky recipient or the other team wasn't good and Dak got lucky or whatever.

And btw, this is kind of trend with Cowboys for 30 years...nothing new

See, I don’t completely disagree with you. Can we do better at QB? Certainly yes. What I don’t understand is how can any player not named Murray, be held accountable when Jerry, yes the same Jerry everyone thinks is a moron, runs the show. Do I think Dak is capable enough? Yes so many QBs much worse than him have been to or won a Super Bowl. Will he be able to do it with Jerry in charge? Unlikely. If that sounds unreasonable to you, then I don’t know what else to say. And I’m not saying you have to agree with me. But if anyone here says that Dak is 50%, or even 25%, good, then they’ll get attacked for not saying he’s 0% good and you are a Pom Pom holder.

30 years and counting. No one has done it with Jerry fully in charge....yeah people will bring up 1994, but the entire coaching staff was Johnson 's except for headcoach as a figure head that no one listened to, including the players

Especially not Troy.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Third, you're absolutely right, individual plays and players do matter and lead to wins.

That's all I, and many others....have been saying for days. But you keep saying the opposite. That only teams matter and win games.


I feel like it's twilight zone.

I dunno...I spent the day in the Florida sun on the boat in Clearwater....I think i better just go to bed.

I mean, Jerry really doesn't go on the field and throw pick 6's to the Green Bay Packers CB's, throw red zone INT's to the 49'ers or fumble easy FG snaps in the playoffs. Sometimes the players DO just freeze up and fail when the moments get big. We need players that don't. End of story. After they do it a couple times, "they gotta go". We aren't getting rid of Jerry until mother nature calls him home. LOL!

 

[visionary]

There’s others too. You asked a question saying no one has done it.

Yes no one has with that team
Try to pay attention Stafford had to change teams
Dak is not going to do something no one has done in 30 years
I assume you think he can do it for the Cowboys
Gotta spoon feed you Dakstans LOL

Dak has had his share of downs, no doubt about it but not always. He’s, nor did Romo for the most part, never had the luxury of having a team that could bail him out when he faltered. Most Super Bowl winning/appearing QBs have had that. That is all I’m saying.

I put the most blame on Jerry and his choices of coaches. Play calling has been horrible for the better part of 30 years. Even the highly regarded DC Quinn, was just a mirror of the rest of the team and past 30 years. Beat up on the crappy teams and take a crap against the better ones. But for some reason, that doesn’t apply to Quinn and his defenses.

Quinn will be run outta DC if he sucks this year. Commanders fans are NOT happy with that dude and he got them to the NFCCG his first year.

Everyone knows the common denominator around here but at the same time, we give guys who seem like "good people" or get Walter Payton awards too much leeway without promise in big games on the field..

10 years and 60 million per year. What are we doing here?.... LOL

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Thas right. He bad. He bad.

Who gave him the ridiculous contract? Would you have turned it down saying it’s too much? Very few players take less to help the team win. Especially nowadays, it’s more about image and respect than winning.

The first 3 paragraphs are nothing but you attempting to mirror my mood. Classic move of an unsure, insecure and lost interlocutor.

1. So according to your logic of quarterback vs quarterback, Jimmy Garoppolo is 4-0 vs Aaron Rodgers "head to head".... that means Garoppolo is a better quarterback than Rodgers, correct?

Now, you've done it. Please post the logic which said, "Garoppolo is better than Rodgers". I'll wait. See, you can't falsely accuse me of a position which makes it easier for you to offer up your weak, pathetic, unlettered argument. That's a strawman argument. I will steelman your position AND THEN knock it down...as I said, reread the posts and your replies...because this one was already answered.

In short, you won't reread our prior exchanges, your search will come up as empty as your overall point.

But I see where you're going: You're trying to insinuate even good QBs are hostage to their team. Duh...who doesn't know they need a team? But the MOST IMPORTANT PLAYER ON THE TEAM IS THE QB. They never get all the blame, but if they are paid more, have more experience, is the designated leader - and they play poorly - they are going to get the LOSS AND THE BLAME. You either get this or you obfuscate - this sentence should sound familiar.

2. Kaepernick is like 3-0, 4-0 vs Aaron Rodgers "head to head" so according to your self made narratives of qb vs qb head to head, Kaepernick is a better quarterback than Rodgers, right?

I think your problem is that because you are so simpleminded you imagine you made some Gordian Knot of a point. Eli beat Brady twice, but you know what...? NEITHER OF THEM CHOKED...it was a battle and someone had to lose. Now, take Dak vs Garrapolo. Dak vs Mr Irrelevant. Dak vs Jordan Love - HE CHOKES! You can't say, "well, the entire team looked bad that day...so the most important player's poor play is excusable...". No leader or champion ever thought or uttered those words!!!

The point isn't whether superior QBs lose to better teams, the point is whether the so-called superior QB played well enough to put his team in a position to WIN. Scott Norwood missed the field goal - not Jim Kelly's fault. But 4 SB losses in a row IS HIS FAULT, just as much as Bradshaw winning 4 out 5 years was his accomplishment. How you perform on Sunday matters and you can't hide behind the team.

Right on brother

Now you are back peddling and changing your question proposes. A Eagle fan literally had to tell you that you were wrong…but spoon feed us lol….

Guys here go to work for less than their value if you let them tell it lol.

 

[TheRunningMan]

This is all that matters to some ppl. Dak "owning" the NFC East. Meanwhile the Eagles have played in 3 and 2 Super Bowls. While having a lot of playoff success during his tenure. And been the only team besides KC to play on multiple Super Bowls with their And Washington made it further than he and the Cowboys have in 3 decades with a 1st year head coach and rookie qb.

But Dak owns the NFC East.

It’s crazy people are spinning beating divisional rivals as a bad thing lol,

If hasn’t resulted in a ring…it’s not because they beat up their rivals.

 

[jball]

So 1 QB in 31 teams in 30+ years who had to leave his team to win anything meaningful

But, Dak will do something not 1 NFL QB has done?

Sure

Exactly

Absolutely not. Would've taken it happily. LOL

I know you are beating the Jerry drum but don't ignore the problems on the field when the lights get bright either.... Honestly, they are all bad and we are arguing over semantics.

What if some of the things on the field at key moments turned out better? Would Jerry be as BAD then?? It's a vicious cycle of doofusness. The only chance really is for a player on the field to break the cycle. Jerry isn't. WE can only shuffle players and hope to get lucky. That's the god awful truth. Guys like Romo and Dak have failed miserably. That's why I say, OK you've been given a few chances. NEXT....I mean I am running out of time too. I am 50. This is BS.

I get that. I’m up there too lol. However, I think my fear of the between Troy and Romo days is my problem.
