Look I'm glad we're in agreement but I think you're missing my point at least my biggest point here it doesn't come with the title and contract most people who watch sports are not clueless casual fans I expect a lot more from people in here 'cause I don't believe people would come here if they're total casuals but they are trolls when people are ripping on Prescott or Romo both franchise quarterbacks both good enough to win championships if they had a better team not just
- no run game
- Poor defense
- Being out coached in all three phases
- Not just the offensive line being leaky sometimes like the tackles can't block and pressure comes right away, but remember the game in the playoffs against San Francisco that they claim Prescott was the reason they lost a game because of a couple early picks even though we seen Matthew Stafford do that in a Super Bowl and it did not bother that team a bit because they have a better team,
But the Cowboys offensive line had 11 penalties do you know how many times they had to play from behind the scenes and all the plays that were positive in those drives were brought back and they were playing like 1st and 25, 2nd and 15 or worse? How about that same game they had three penalties on the defense there were 14 penalties in a game that was close and all people keep reminding us is well maybe a Prescott wouldn't have made those mistakes, no that's not how we'd look at this, That's not how non casual fans look at this the deeper part of football especially but all team sports but I'm going to keep it with the NFL There's too many moving parts this is a team game it doesn't take many of those parts to fail in those games and it just ruins plays.
- We wouldn't be having this conversation Have we had a defense step up in Prescott's first playoff game the offense played great they came from behind multiple times at least three times from memory to only have the defense give up the last score it happens too often That is why I will not blame the quarterbacks Yes you can go to some of those games and realize the quarterbacks both Romo and Prescott made some early mistakes but you see games just like that,
I remember the playoffs in 2023 somehow; they're bringing the offense up in this game Are you serious they allowed the defense from start to finish or giving up touchdowns like it was free candy on Halloween. If you look at that game and now you go look at the Lions and 49er game happen the same way the Lions were dominating San Francisco, they were beating them down hard at halftime it very similar The Cowboys were down the 49ERS were down about the same number of points and it looked over.
But what happened in that game The Lions game San Francisco's defense special teams in coaching found a way to slow the lion's down and start making stops and guess what eventually the 49ers came back and won that damn game.
What happened with the Cowboys defense? oh that's right let's talk about Prescott's first half struggles where I just showed you the same type of game but our defense gave up three straight touchdowns out of halftime 21 points in a row,
How are we supposed to be even trying to make a comeback in that situation?
I'm sick and tired of talking to people that should know better Yes Prescott threw a couple of picks in some of those games but when he's done that in past games like that Philadelphia game three or four years ago where the first series of the game he threw a pick six to the defensive end and then dominated the Eagles the rest of the game and won you know why because the rest of the team did their job it enabled him to make up for his mistake Players make mistakes like that I saw Troy make those mistakes all the time troy was not a perfect quarterback and never carried this team he had Emma Smith the offensive line of defense and a coaching staff that can rally a team when a quarterback is struggling say in the first quarter or in the first half they make a few mistakes.
Already mentioned it up there I saw San Francisco make a comeback in the same situation because the rest of our team got it together I saw Matthew Stafford lead the league in interceptions throw two interceptions in the Super Bowl that were neutralized because of how good the rest of his team was around him they weren't gonna blame him they were gonna step up and make sure he wasn't the scapegoat and he was able to play better the rest of the game as well he almost threw a 3rd pick later in that game I mean do we need to keep going over this at quarterbacks are not perfect but you need the rest of your team to be strong enough that when players around you are not playing perfect their game is off a bit that you can pick it up..
And is what championship games are made of and I'm tired of these people in here acting like casuals when I don't know many casuals who signed up and spent extra special time talking about a team that allegedly they root for but burned down the quarterback as if there couldn't be worse we've seen worse here we've seen 12 really bad quarterbacks between Troy and Romo and no one's appreciating Romo and Dak they keep saying we could have better and I watch other teams struggle for decades looking for a starting quarterback even close to Romo or Dak..
Can't have it both ways everybody in here wants to say our GM is not aggressive enough they don't use free agency properly they make mistakes all the time bringing in certain coaches So you look on the other side you got the way the Rams and the Eagles are aggressive and and make sure the rest of the team is solid they don't have to put it all in the quarterback..
No way anybody in here could tell me that Romo or Prescott couldn't be on those Super Bowl teams the Rams or even any of the Eagles Super Bowl teams with Hurtz and they somehow wouldn't have won?
I know another long winded rant you don't have to read it you can skim it and I'm just getting tired of these damn threads you try to say something positive about the quarterback the rest of everyone burns it down and hangs All the failures on the quarterback and that's just ridiculous to me I can see why a casual would think that but in here I know they're not casuals so that's why we call them trolls it's a real word it's not a bad word it shouldn't be edited out people don't like a person or a player they know that they are really good players but they're going to troll anyway..
RANT OVER for today!!
