Dak Prescott noticeably different in Cowboys offseason workouts

[G2]

This makes him feel better.

A grown man. Scolded because some other guy doesn't like the QB on his favorite football team.

He's streetwise, eh? Is it Sesame Street, by any chance?

Yes, you "Hate" a competitive player on a team you have zero control over and you're preaching? Go away.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Yes, you "Hate" a competitive player on a team you have zero control over and you're preaching? Go away.

It is quite dull to hate a player like that. It'd be one thing if it was David Irving. Even then, I don't hate Irving. He's made his choice, and he now has to live with it. As for Dak, I haven't the foggiest as to what he did to deserve hate. He was taken in the 4th round. He took over for a great QB, and he has played well in his own right. Sure, he's not perfect. None of us are. Additionally, he had a horrid OC. If he figures out how to have better pocket awareness, then I think he will be a great QB. He's already very good.

Even without that, what good is hating a player over whom you have no control? If you could replace him, who would you get? As others have said, even getting a QB round 1 isn't a sure thing that he'll be great. Paxton Lynch and EJ Manuel are great recent examples of this. As was Manziel. Just because the player is touted highly and is taken round 1 doesn't mean he will be good. I'd even argue that Jamies Winston was a bust and look how high he was drafted. Goff would've been a bust if not for McVay rescuing him.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

And it begs the question. If someone hates Dak that much, what will he do if and when he gets his contract extended? Barring an absolutely ghastly season, I reckon that he is getting extended.

 

[Corso]

He's trolling. When he reads your post I promise you he is sitting there laughing, "He mad." I get the impression he watches a lot of wrestling and likes the villains.

Actually he has me on ignore. It's fun!

 

[GMO415]

He'd better be....the competition is better.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Ya if only they could give Dak 10 seconds to throw and open barn size holes for Zeke every-down....Hey bud great defenses win Superbowl's not Off-lines who can and will be dominated by any stud def-line!
P.S. Esp when the def doesn't fear the passing game and all they have to do is STOP the run.....!

You nervous lol. You scared that Dak is about to have a solid y we lol. You already getting the excuses ready lol.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Dude... you talk and you seriously suck at what you pride yourself upon.
You call peeps garbage and they become contributors.
You call peeps Circus Freaks and they end up important cogs and very good players.
You say dudes will never be NFL players and there they are in the All-Pro.

Shut
The
Hell
Up
You
Fake
Goober

He’s trolling man him and his little army they get off on this. What’s sad is that a lot of these guys are 60 plus years old doing it.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

He was at best fifth in line... Goff, Rodgers, Brees and Wilson (alternate) were all named to the team initially. Trubisky was also named before Dak, but only by less than a day believe. Additionally, we have no idea what the process is for the alternates is and whether they go by voting, coaches selections, or just flat out who is available on short notice and not in Hawaii already. I find it extremely difficult to believe that anyone with a shred of common sense would have name Dak over Matt Ryan looking at the vast gap in their production, for example, but perhaps Matt was unavailable.

Matt Ryan is a stat padder. Tell him to step it up in the clutch and win more than 7 games a year with one of the best receivers of all time.

 

[CouchCoach]

This situation is nothing more than Romo 2.0. Whichever side one is one isn't changing, just getting more dug in that they can't back out.

We would have had this with Meredith and especially White, his failure to get them over the hump would have been really something to see here. Some would want to get rid of the guy getting the team to the NFCCG in hopes of getting the SB winning QB.

Judging this QB because he shows glimmers of both sides right now is like catching a scene from a movie and trying to flesh the whole thing out. I do not know where Dak's ceiling is but I am willing to think he hasn't hit it yet because if you look back at Stafford after Linehan, he got better. He's still not there because those "glitches", instincts, are ingrained in his game and cannot be trained out. Anymore than Favre's or Romo's could.

Does either side that's so dug in on Prescott leave any room for "wait and see"? Because if you haven't, you've excused yourself from the most seldom seen phrase on this forum, "I was wrong".

 

[PAPPYDOG]

You nervous lol. You scared that Dak is about to have a solid y we lol. You already getting the excuses ready lol.

My sincere wishes and HOPE that Dak has a 4 TD game and that Dak has 1 game with over 400 yards and add to that a 30 TD season and with over 4000 yards passing making it great year.
That we get the opportunity to have a Longggg game at passing after 3 years.....

Now back to reality......hold a small cup cause at 25 year of age and with all those flaws of Dak it will take a miracle to have the above season at QB for our Dak....

 

[eromeopolk]

If Dak is feeling more comfortable and he is sharper and more accurate then this team is a SB contender because we are stacked almost everywhere. One thing is certain. Once cooper got here Dak looked good. He will be better this year. Do you guys think his production will match the contract he is looking for? What types of numbers does he need to reach for the contract and for a good season.

WRs and TEs getting open helps your QB.

I will add there's an ignored middle label. I lean more in favor of supporting Prescott, but continue to get called childish things (as I'm sure other's do) whenever I post anything remotely positive. And, when I'm critical, it's conveniently left out. This comes specifically from the side of fans who refuse to support the QB. The Homerific side doesn't get belligerent about it. If the current fans were around in the Danny White days or when the franchise 1st started we would need to cut them down from the rafters.

The most ironic thing involves a handful of those who previously held an anti-stance for the previous quarterback and subsequently adopted a pro-stance for the current quarterback, even though the pros and cons for both players were/are similar.

So basically in order to meet your expectation he has to be the best quarterback in the league lol? Only one player had that type of season and that was Pat Mahomes.....so you want him to have historically great season in order for you to be happy? You are full of it lol.

I am not a complete homer but I do have the tendency to give Cowboys players the benefit of the long time fanhood. I had to accept Sanders, Pacman, Bryant, Owens, Hardy and Gregory once they became Cowboys and look the other way and not at the person as much as the uniform.

Some of that Romorooter stuff I got, the dating stars, the golf, Cabo and especially the cap on backwards and his fat butt. All convenient hate arrows. But with Prescott, I don't get it except for one thing and I try not to let my mind go there. Except for that inconsistent accuracy issue, which may be curable, what's not to like. He didn't take Romo's job, the team gave it to him.

It's always been my theory that the team got lazy with him because of that Houdini act. So what if I matador this block, he'll escape. When they got the 3rd stringer in there, no time for slough blocks or dogging any plays because we've got nothing behind this kid and he didn't have that "Hollywood" persona that some might not have liked. This kid lost his Mom a couple of years ago and he's easy to pull for and besides that he immediately embraced the toughest role of every young QB in the NFL, leadership. It was that trait that kept him in as the QB1. This 4th round kid that no one ever expected to be starting was actually not only doing that but leading. It is that trait in him that kept the QB1 job in high school and at Miss. St.

Every QB is going to make mistakes, miss the easy play, and some withdraw as Romo used to do all down on himself on that bench but Prescott is that QB that every player wants, the guy that doesn't give up, the fighter than just keeps getting up off the mat. There's no quit in him and there's a lot to like about him so I am pulling for some more progress because he's the DC QB1 regardless of how I feel or what I want.

This is a very well made post.
Thank you. That was a pleasure to read.

oooooohhhhh, Me likey!!!!!

Funny thing is, I never fell for the hoopla over his rook season, and I'm not falling for it now as it's going the other way.

Dak is a decent young QB w/ off-the-charts intangibles who could easily get better, esp w/ heady Moore and saavy Kitna. I'm trying not to pre-anoint, but I think Jerry got this one right. These two guys have that extra intangible, and I believe it will relate to coaching. Am I proclaiming this? Nope, because Moore is so young he's simply on a wait and see mission at present. What I'm hoping is that Moore proved to Jason and co. that he can be an NFL OC at a high level, and they're not just hiring him because he's said to be smart. On that, we will just have to wait and see.

At times, Dak is accurate. He's shown a clutch gene and the players are charging hades for him carrying flares. Dude has everything he needs at this point, except consistency. And since Dak improved mightily every year in college, I give it a very good chance that he will now take the next step and improve to top 10 status. He's got the goods, so the hope now is that Kitna can finish his development. This staff has been notorious for leaving the status quo as long as we were winning games, and his lack of playing time last preseason showed that was exactly what we were doing w/ Dak. Problem is, Dak was not even close to a finished product. And we treated him as if he were.

Hey, maybe Dak won't get better, we've all seen that happen. However, looking at and evaluating his past and giving a little hope for the new Kitoore combo, there is much to look forward to, w/ renewed hope and history as the guide.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

You know bloody well why Rodgers got in, and it had nothing to do with his play this past season. He was atrocious and didn't come that close to making the Playoffs.

In fact, I'd say Dak was a Much better QB than Rodgers was this past season. Rodgers will probably be a bit better next season, but he NOT deserving of a Pro Bowl nomination. I am thoroughly enjoying Rodgers's struggles with how much of a twit he is.

I don't feel the heartbreak game enders with Prescott, which is refreshing. Romo right out of the box disappointed. And it was tough to watch him get injured over the years. Prescott is reliable in that way. As much as I supported Romo, I was ready for a change.

Matt Ryan is a stat padder. Tell him to step it up in the clutch and win more than 7 games a year with one of the best receivers of all time.

Another good example of that is Matt Stafford.
