The Dak Prescott love thread

[Bleu Star]

I’ve been a Dak supporter since Day 1. He’s no Tom Brady but having said that, he has nothing to work with and an OL that had been playing average. I don’t expect miracles from the guy but he’s not nearly as bad as some have portrayed. Give the poor guy some weapons. At any rate, we’ll see.

Yess sirrr... Give the guy a real chance.

What're they saying on Eagleszone about the game?

Pretty sure they aren't getting upset about Dak dropping "270" on them.. I reckon they would be far more concerned about Zeke getting over 6 AFTER contact all game.. and gashing them for 187 all purpose yards and 2 TD's.. or the fact that LVE and Jaylon pounded them into oblivion or they might even have noticed that Wentz had zero seconds to operate as we crashed their line again and again and that had the refs called the offensive holding properly.. they may not have made it out of their own end all night.

The have some serious injury issues to contend with. They are not heading to playoffs this year.

This s not a criticism but a concern. Prescott must develop his awareness and timing for his speed receivers' deep routes. Beasley and he have both down generally in both short and intermediate routes. Last night, Gallup was running wide open on a deep cross. Cooper beat his man cleanly on a fly pattern.

Truthfully, Prescott was under various forms of duress during both plays. That is football and especially the NFL. I do not know how much extra work Prescott and his new receivers, Cooper and Gallup, must put in beyond practice but it should be done.

Coaching can only improve their communication so much. This is a quarterback/receiver thing. Quarterback must SEE receiver. Quarterback should NOT be overthrowing receiver.

On a side note, I do like what I am seeing develop between Prescott and Hurns as the season has progressed.

Would your argument not extend to the offensive strategists?. . As a matter of fact, shouldn't it start with them?

The OC can call the perfect play, but the QB still has to execute it. We saw last night Cooper wide open running up the field and Dak missing the throws. Collingsworth was pointing out missed plays all night. I'm not a fan of Linehan, but this is a QB driven league. You don't compete for super bowls if your QB isn't playing well.

The argument against Dak is not that he isn't capable of playing like he did last night. The argument is that he can't or has not done it on a consistent basis. He has games like this one week but the week before he played like a dog. Good against j-ville and horrible against washington. He has to find a way to play consistently good. We literally don't know what we will get from him week to week and that is reflected in our record.

Consistency has been his nemesis but without games like this I have little hope otherwise.

One play guy. One play. We all saw it. Chris Collinsworth was late reviewing it... But again, one play.

Everyone has to bring their lunch pails. We already know the 11 guys on Defense will every game. I'm talking about all 11 offensive guys AND the brain trust. For the first time all season, Garrett and Linehan both earned their pay checks. They have been woefully inconsistent all season and I refuse to let them get away with it because it all starts at the top.

No doubt there was at least a couple throws you can’t miss in the NFL like the deep one to Cooper when he had separation. I’m not sure I see that on coaching or scheme as much as timing and accuracy which is more on the QB.

In the end QB’s are measure by winning which his 11 game winning wave is what steered his future here. And this was a signature win for Dak. The kind of bus driving that could lead to better things.

I’ve been a staunch critic of Dak but accolades are deserving after last nights performance.

Jesus. Only Dak Prescott gets a love thread for simply not sucking.

This is what we are now I suppose.

 

[DallasEast]

One additional note. There is concern about Prescott's long-term future with the team. I 'think' I know how Jones thinks about players and last night's game was a big plus for Prescott in Jones' eyes in my opinion. That was the type of game that bonds Jones to a player and he will pay to keep him. Just my two cents.

It would have been nice if he could have connected some of those obviously easy passes or had pinpoint accuracy on those overthrown long bombs.

Nice post.

Yeah. Dak still needs to work on "trust" with his WRs. He already immediately trusts Amari Cooper more than WRs he has been playing with all season. I think Cooper's success with Dak is going to continue to rub off on the other WRs and create the trust that needs to be there in order for Dak to anticipate and trust that the others will be where they're supposed to be when they're supposed to be there. Dak and Cooper have been same paged since Amari came to town. It's uncanny.

That said, Dak also needs to work on his long ball touch. But the long ball isn't the bread and butter for any QB so I trust that will come despite the lack of player development on the coaching staff.

Yep

Just win. He was enough last night to win the game. That is the objective.

Would we still like a more prolific passing Qb? Of course but if we can win with Dak then that will be enough to push forward.

It kinda evens out the 20,000 Dak sucks threads when we lose.

We shall see. Against the better teams you must make those throws. Ultimately it could determine the outcomes if we intend on making the next leap.

But for now I think we should give Dak his credit for a big game.

Filthy was one of those "better teams" until we dismantled them last night.

Stepped up when needed. Hopefully, that monkey keeps sliding off his back and he returns to the player we saw the first 24-25 games in his career. We don't need him to be elite, but as long as he keeps the defense honest he can have games like last night.

Last year's Super Bowl winning QB is far from elite. I'm not saying we're Super Bowl bound by any means... Just that it doesn't take a Tom Brady to win every Super Bowl.

I agree . I think last night might have sealed the deal despite another collapse forthcoming. I think it might have also saved Garrett’s job too.

I know some fans were rooting against it to satisfy their selfish agendas hoping Jerry would come to some type of Absolution with a loss or collapsing season. But this is why Jerry has stayed with Garrett.

He finds a way to stay afloat and relevant which Jerry can sell. Unfortunately this is probably as good as it gets with Jerry. Let’s hope we can build on this huge win. And Dak carries over the confidence as well because talent is our best hope of overcoming Jerry’s ways.

 

[TexasHillbilly]

Still the worst starting QB in the league.

Oh shutup. That is bs and you know it.

The same thing is being said about he Cinci qb. He got a 50 burger slapped on him.

it was more than one play.....there were at least 8-10....that was the most obvious one.
