I appreciate the positivity, but there are way too many posts about “Prescott owns this” and “Dak owns that.” You know where that always leads—try saying anything nice about our quarterback, even though he deserves credit as one of the top QBs in the league, and it’s just going to go south. People will start bringing up all his failures, hitting that word “HIS” in all caps, his playoff record, his struggles against better teams, even in the regular season.
They’ll talk about the second half, comebacks, and all the usual nonsense. We’ve heard it before about the stats, he’s now dominated: they said he couldn’t throw deep, read defenses, or hit timing routes, he’s proved he can do all of that. They said he couldn’t handle the blitz; I remember back in 2017 when they claimed he wasn’t the same without Zeke.
He’s already shown he’s more than that.
Prescott has answered all those questions, yet here we are still talking about his playoff record. That’s what people will focus on, along with everything else I mentioned, they’ll say it’s all on him. But you need to realize Jalen Hurts didn’t dominate those other guys; his team did. He had great defenses, ridiculously strong offensive lines, and then he gets Saquon Barkley. They haven’t asked him to do much—he’s being carried, and we all know it. I’m not saying he’s a bad quarterback, but Sam Darnold just won a ring too, should we talk about that?
People act like rings are an individual accomplishment when going deep in the playoffs is about great teams. Jalen Hurts just happens to be on a team with an aggressive GM who will swap out coaches and players as much as needed. He doesn’t care what people think or about past failures, he’ll keep doing it over and over.
Jalen Hurts ended up on a better team, and if anyone thinks Dak on that Philadelphia Eagles team wouldn’t have won more games or maybe even another Super Bowl, they’re mistaken.
At the very least, he’d have a ring too.
Look at Matthew Stafford: he left a team he couldn’t win with, led the league in interceptions his first year with the Rams, threw two picks in the Super Bowl, and still came away with a ring. Stafford is one of the better quarterbacks in the league, but he makes plenty of mistakes that get covered up by the team around him.
I appreciate fans giving Prescott his props and posting positively, but it never stays positive, it always spirals. It’s like the old Romo versus Dak debates; there were Romo haters back then, and now there are Dak haters who used to love Romo. This will never end. Any attempt at a positive post eventually circles back to the 2–5 playoff record, as if that’s solely his fault, when it belongs to the whole team. That’s why I say Jalen Hurts doesn’t deserve sole credit for beating certain teams or for losing to the Cowboys or Prescott.
I just want to get my two cents in, I’m sick and tired of all these posts tearing down our quarterback.
Since when does a fan base overly criticize a QB who’s had at least three MVP-caliber seasons and a Rookie of the Year award? The man owns just about every Dallas Cowboys record there is and deserves more respect. Yet people keep blaming him for what are clearly team and front office failures, moments in big games where he had no support. Still, they hang it all on him. Meanwhile, Jalen Hurts is getting carried over there, and I’ll say it again. CARRIED!
They need more than just a few players to step up, Jerry loves his stars, but the Cowboys are far too top-heavy and overly reliant on them. When those key players struggle or get injured, the whole team suffers. We've seen it before some of our best players didn't show up in the big games, The offensive line was great in the regular season the run game was great in the regular season but Zeke in the offensive line doesn't step up instead they play their worst games and then you flip it to the other side same thing I don't care how great Dan Quinn's defenses look for those three years he's been exposed at every stop he's been that in big games they fold up like a cheap chair.
They need more depth and a stronger overall roster.
It’s not Prescott’s fault; he’s constantly dealt with bad defenses. In fact, he might be the only quarterback in his first ten years to have three defenses ranked among the worst in NFL history.
