Dak is the best QB the NFL has ever seen

Gabe said:
He is the complete package. He is basically a Tom Brady that is more durable and more mobile. Not to mention his leadership and intangibles he brings to the table.

This is by no means an accident or some fluke. When you see how he makes everything look so effortless, it is because it is all routine to him at this point and he is extremely intelligent.

Can he improve? Absolutely! But, what we are witnessing is the beginning of greatness. Enjoy the ride!

Thru 9 games ... unfortunately there's the rest of this season and a career to go before making these type of statements .

He has a ton of poise and exemplary leadership qualities which, together with his technical skills and athleticism, make him special, especially given that he is only a rookie. Hold off on the all time stuff for now...
 
Probably the best rookie I've ever seen he has the total package.

Kyle Orton was a 4th round rookie game manager thrust into a starting role with the Bears. The Bears surprisingly went 11-5.
Dak is pretty much the dictionary definition of a game manager. Plays with the league's leading rusher. Is 24th in the league in attempts and averages about 1.5 TDs per game. Takes care of the ball.
I'm not sure what's more embarrassing, your ignorance or your sensitivity.

I'm curious as to your thoughts on the career of Troy Aikman? Essential cornerstone of the 90's dynasty? Or overrated game manager who had the all-time leading rusher to lean on?

Dak Prescott is essentially playing the role of 2014 Tony Romo, who two years ago was effectively playing the role of 90's Aikman. Two years ago, some national media folks foolishly said "the Cowboys finally figured out how to make Tony Romo a winner: by taking the ball out of his hands." Hogwash. Sure, the running game led the charge, as it is now, but Romo was a maestro in the way he orchestrated the offense. Pretending "anyone" could have filled that role was dumb then, and I believe it's also dumb now. Dak undoubtedly benefits from the talent he has around him, but they also benefit from what he's doing.

Dear OP: Tom Brady thinks you're on drugs.

I also don't think we can pretend that there is any comparison to Kyle Orton's rookie season or the nature in which either played/plays the position. Orton's QB ratings over the 8-game winning streak in 2005 were 84.9, 77.5, 89.4, 43.3, 42.8, 68.8, 60.7 and 23.7. He later won a game with a 39.6 QB rating. He also threw 7 TDs and 7 INTs over the 8-game winning streak.

I'm not sure his level of play was even good enough to be considered that of a game manager, to be honest.

Not unrelated, here are the weekly points given up by the Bears' defense during that 8-game winning streak: 3, 6, 13, 17, 9, 3, 10, 7.

I said best "since"... I made no comparison.

I'm pretty sure Orton's offensive complement looked nothing like what our current game manager has stepped in to, but let's not go there... don't want the Romo haters to cry again.

Troy was absolutely a game manager, but it was by design. At any time, he could reach back and draw on the size, accuracy and arm talent that made him a number one overall pick. Dak is a dink and dunk Day 3 rookie... at any time, he can reach back and deliver... another 7 yard completion to a crossing Cole Beasley. You can't make the comparison... Dak just doesn't have the passing ability. As long as he has all day to throw and can see his targets come open, he's really great.
 
Not at all, but that seems to be your life goal to troll on a message board, I actually feel a bit sorry for you.

Pipe down there, Rowdy. If I'm not in your head, then let's just stick to discussing what I actually say, and not your cornball commentary.

Forget best rookie season. Dak Prescott is having one of the best career seasons in NFL history.

Yes he is, and he is doing this with a 4-12 team from last season. He has great players around him, but he is the primary reason x1000 we are winning right now. He is also doing this all as a rookie from day 1.

Im not comparing career accomplishments, but considering ALL aspects, he is the best QB the NFL has ever seen. I'll continue standing by that statement until he proves me wrong.
