Is Dak a so-called bus driver?

about a 100 of those yards came in the last two meaningless drives...... which means he had 160 yards and was 1-9 on 3rd down conversion when it mattered...which further indicates when Zeke doesn't have a good game and its on Dak to elevate the team...he fails....its been consistent result of all the game during his career.
Excuses.

I'm not a Dak lover, so get the hell out with that crap. I'm simply not blaming him for NOT "carrying" the team like so many morons suggest needs to happen.
Heard the same BS with Romo, no all of a sudden fans afford him the excuses.
you sure come across as a Dak lover given the defense you are putting up...so maybe you are Dak "supporter"....

with that said, expectations are that when some part of the team is not working, the rest of the team and players can elevate their game....in this case, it doesn't seem Dak can elevate his game or those around him. the 266 yards may look good on the final stat sheet, but when he goes 1-9 and 160 or so yards come in the first 3.5 quarters when it matters and game is not out of hand...then hmmm, is he really that good

Last seasons playoffs 1 out of 11 postseason games a team won while allowing 30+.

Yes and that team won the Superbowl. Again thanks for supporting my point. Mahomes did nothing wrong either. Both QBs stepped up and the game basically came down to one moment whereby Dee Ford jumped too soon.

In 2012 The Ravens beat the Broncos by scoring well over 30 points and without Joe Flacco yes Joe Flacco carrying the team that and making the late deep throw to Jacoby Jones they don't win the Superbowl.

Another ignorant post. Stop with your childish "Dak-Crush" BS. Are you 12?

It's unrealistic at best, to assume a QB should carry the team, that's just dumb.

You hate Prescott, and nothing I say is going to make you be reasonable.

For example, the divisional playoff game vs. LA. The defense allowed 275 yards rushing. Elliott didn't even have 50 yards rushing.
There! Elliott and the defense didn't produce, yet Prescott put up 2 TDs and 266 yards. Not good enough? Go away.

How many points did Dak put up in the 1st Half ( 7)as the game was over by then as our offense couldn't keep up....as usual.....
Just like the Packer playoff game in the 1st Half (13) so sell Dak crazy elsewhere bud we ain't buying it.
You wanna give 30 million a year to a QB who as you say can't carry the team or shouldn't be expected to that type of deal.
Are you Dak's Agents bud?
Reasonable is a big word bud you sure that you're in that reality when it pertains to Dak?
GUESS NOT!

It looks similar to Romo’s 80-53 record without much success in playoffs. Why is that more acceptable with Dak than Romo?
why is Romo part of this discussion? this is not about Romo. this is about Dak.....and if you think Romo sucked, and comparing Dak to Romo, what does that make Dak? less sucky?

No, because some of these Dak homers were Romo bashers. A big part of their support of Dak revolves around him having more team success than Romo.

Apples to Oranges, I refuse to compare 3 seasons to 14 seasons and pretend it makes any sense. Plus they are two very different QBs.

Right, regardless of what fans feel, the staff looks to be all in on Prescott.
Yep. And he will get market price. I am hoping they could strike a deal under 30 million. Market values aren’t going to go down. If they are convinced then lock him down and let’s roll with him. He will improve. We have a team around him. This years O-Line will be healthier and hopefully stay that way. We have a couple of good WR and a good RB. Made the playoffs last year and actually won a game.

Yeah, I'm all for signing him cheap as I don't think he's in the top 5, but you know how QB salaries are - bloated! Should be a fun season.

I am looking forward to it. Seemed like last year went so fast.

But you’re not comparing QB’s. You were using team records.

And Romo didn’t start 14 seasons which is an obvious attempt to spin the comparison anyway . Lol

23-1 when Dak’s passer rating is 100+.

9-15 when Dak’s passer rating is below 100.

Only idiots could possibly think Dak “just has to not screw it up” for us to win.

I agree but that doesn’t mean we cant critique.

Ultimately Jerry rides the wave. If Dak falls out of favor with the public and or fans then he will feel the wrath much like other stars before him have.

Although Dak has one key intangible factor in his favor in Jerry appears determined to prove he didn’t make a mistake putting Romo to the curb. And no one looks to be safe while Jerry’s pursuing to prove.

That’s how I see it.
