[DandyTom64]

What the he**. Rowdy and Mickey got screwed again. Where's the justice?

 

[Brax]

Which one of you Dak detractors is actually Pete Prisco?

The truth hurts doesn't it.

 

[Jake]

Pete who?

 

[MWH1967]

nice list.... we know the ones he missed. I could name 4 or 5 more. This team has all the talent it needs. I look back to those back to back to back 5 and 11 teams and shake my head. This year is gonna be fun.

 

[MWH1967]

Pete who?

Everyone likes to take a shot that can. its all good.

Is Jaylon better than LVE at this point?

IMO, yes he is.

 

[Whyjerry]

Cowboys had 2nd most with 7 players behind the Chargers who had 8.

16. Ezekiel Elliott
26. DeMarcus Lawrence
46. Zack Martin
58. Tyron Smith
80. Jaylon Smith
85. Byron Jones
99. Travis Frederick

Just missed: Leighton Vander Esch

No Prescott. QBs that were ranked: Mahomes, Rodgers, Brady, Brees, Luck, Ryan, Wilson, Rivers, Roethlisberger, Newton, Goff, Wentz, Mayfield.

Goff, Wentz, and Newton on that list is just silly. Mayfield too. Wentz is like the Chip Kelly of QBs.

That said, the Clapping Carrot better win.

excellent question. I would say its a dead heat based on last year but as the experience grows it would seem LVE would pull away. If we could insert Sean's smarts & instincts into them ....

 

[BermyStar]

I'm a biased Cowboys fan, so it's my duty to make some noise if my team is not represented well in lists like this.

Even though I realize every sports writer fancies himself/herself as an "expert" and basically pulls lists of players like this out of their behind. Any poster on this forum could do just as good a job making these rankings if we wanted to.

Nope, incorrect. I would suck at making this list. I'd have Cowboys' practice squad guys on there and omit every Barkley, Jenkins, Collins and other NFC East rival lol. OBJ left the division and I'd leave him off the list as well. I carry a huge bias.

Why would it seem that LVE would pull away? I'm curious why you think that.

Jaylon is faster 4.5 40 vs 4.65. He ran a 3.98 short shuttle, which is just flat out incredible. He's the better athlete compared to LVE (who is pretty darn good too). I just see Jaylon with a higher ceiling, more playmaking ability, etc.

 

[CowboysRule]

Zeke should be ranked higher than Barkley. He's simply a better back. Barkey, much like Sanders, will get mostly stuffed for the entire game, then break off a 50-yard highlight run and everyone thinks he's great while ignoring the fact that he hurt his offense the rest of the game by not being able to get yards on the regular plays to keep drives alive. He has a lot of receptions because Manning is garbage and can't read the defense to hit his WR's. Zeke, much like Emmitt, just keeps grinding away. He might not break an 80-yard run but he will get you 3-5 yards basically every time you give him the ball. He'll keep drives alive, pick up blitzes, eat up clock, help the defense stay fresh, and he's a threat to catch the ball as well. The argument is air tight.

I saw them as about even last year. But Jaylon has 3 years of being in a pro program & some playing time in 2017. Players usually make the biggest jump between 1st & 2nd year & I felt that LVE may have better instincts. Seemed like LVE might be due for more growth than Jaylon.

Good points, but keep in mind that Jaylon was playing on a leg that, by many reports, was not 100% yet last year. You've got to think that when that leg is 100% he is the best defender on our team. I expect a jump in Jaylon's play this year as well. Dude is a heat seeking missile that will lay the wood. Either way, both Jaylon and LVE are all-pro talents, so we are splitting hairs.

 

[erod]

Jaylon Smith is nowhere near the top 100 players in the NFL, and LVE is.

 

[Risen Star]

Martin at 46 is just position bias. If he played QB at the same level he'd be in the top 10.

Dang straight. I'd have retired Cowboys' players on there before anyone else in the NFC East.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

This is correct. Dak is extremely underrated in the end of games.

In crunch time, I all of a sudden become very comfortable with Dak. You know he is going to drive down and win the game.

Dak Prescott with 4 minutes left in a game he’s trailing: QB rating plummets to 52.8, has thrown more ints than tds, completes 48% of his passes (~20% drop from usual %)

You have to laugh at these idiot writers who still think Cam is a name you can just easily lump together with Brady, Brees, Rodgers, et cetera. I’d definitely take Dak over Cam.

Mayfield already considered that good? Lol. Maybe, but give him one more full season before crowning his ***.

 

[MCMetal69]

Zack Martin at FORTY SIX ?

And Prisco's got Le'veon Bell after missing the entire season , David Bakhtiari , Alvin Kamara and even Christian McCaffrey ahead of him........Ridiculous

Market rate for Dak is somewhere between 14-20 QB $$
