The praise Dak is receiving for that game is ridiculous

Spare me the strawman bs buddy. I didn’t say or imply such so stop the emotional disingenuous junk.
Are you bipolar? You call everyone that says Dak played well a "Dakaholic" (and apparently are under the false impression that you are being clever), and you clearly and repeatedly get upset when people say talk up how well Dak played, and then you turn around and act as if you haven't suggested Dak didn't play well. You can't be snide when someone says Dak played well, and then act as if you aren't disagreeing with them for saying Dak played well. It appears you want to just float with whatever allows you to be snide, even if you have to hop from one side of the fence to the other.

44 games over 10 years is a small sample size, yes... especially when the NFL offense has changed dramatically over those ten years. Read closer.
Yeah that’s an average of 4 games a season out of 5120 games just using the regular season. That’s not many at all.

Whatever...the only problem I had with the game was the play calling...The Offense had 3 downs to get 2 or 3 yards and failed. We didn't even go with a 2 TE set for blocking...an extra O lineman...Nothing. I dang sure aint about to blame Dak who with his receivers kept us in the game. Until this team figures out how to COUNTER in the Trenches...We will continue to see Zeke get stuffed and our Defense getting ran over and screened to death.

Im as bipolar as you’re a Philmonroe groupie always quoting me with your bs post. You always on my back with your joke posting asking me questions. Hell outta here buddy. If I said Dak didn’t play well show the post in this thread we are currently in or shut up. Hell I dare you to find these post in general where I’ve said he played bad as a whole. Tired of folks on here making stuff up just because.

This is a typical post for you - derogatory, but completely absent any actual content. Apparently your goal is only to be derogatory without any effort to contribute to the website. That, my friend makes you worthless as a poster.

What part of once in awhile is confusing to you? It is his job to carry the team and occasionally win some games where everything is not right, not always but sometimes (that is what a franchise QB does). But more to your point how about the game against the Saints where our D held them to 12 points and we couldn't win the game

Oh you mean the game Elliott had a total of 35 yards rushing so no help there on two accounts. No rushing yards so no play action to work off of. Or how about that defense that let Bridgewater complete 74% of his passes or Maher missing a field goal that would have won the game. Even franchise QB's need some help otherwise QB's like Brady, Rodgers, Brees, would ever lose a game.

In my 45 years as a Cowboy's fan that Jets game ranks as the third-worst regular-season loss behind the 85 Bears disgrace 44-0 and the last game of the season against the Eagles in 08 where they lost 44-6! Good teams overcome injuries EXCEPT the Dallas Cowboys!
I'm with you on that.

As I said in my thread, anyone who doesn’t think Dak is a franchise QB is a freakin Moron. Same as anyone who doesn’t think he’s at least top 10. He’s proven that for 3 plus years. Some folks are just trolls or blinded by their hate agendas.

"at least top 10"

Are you sure about that?

Tom Brady
Aaron Rodgers
Drew Brees
Big Ben
Russell Wilson


Above five are all gimmes.

Patrick Mahomes - since being in the league obviously
Deshaun Watson - as above
Matty Ryan (people like to criticise him but former league MVP and consistently puts up impressive numbers)
Lamar Jackson
Kyler Murrey

Ravens and Cardinals wouldn't swap their respective guy for Prescott.

Andrew Luck (until retirement)

Subjective QBs
Philip Rivers - starting to feel the pinch but his last two seasons were of a higher standard with less around him than Prescott.
Matt Stafford - Again, i'm taking him over Prescott but I appreciate that some wouldn't.
I personally have Carson Wentz higher than Prescott but appreciate that a lot of Cowboys fans do not.

Aside from the above names, I consider Prescott in the same bracket as quarterbacks like Derek Carr, Kirk Cousins and Jimmy Garoppolo - all of whom have their strengths but arguably have question marks as to whether they are franchise quarterbacks.

Buddy you used the GB game as some evidence of Smith Jr putting up stats. You’re just a stat parrot. Nothing you say regarding stats means nothing.

I think you need to reread something because AT NO TIME did I mention Smith Jr. in any comments. Try reading before commenting.

So all the plays they showed on replays where Prescott was running and throwing and still hitting his receivers really didn't happen? He didn't do any of those great escapes when other QB's would have been sacked but he managed to get away and complete passes really didn't happen. Maybe try watching the game next time.
.
He did have some plays that he extended and made very good passes, but by and large, he was well protected throughout the game.

I had two big issues with Dak that night.

1. He started slow yet again, and if they don't drop the pick six he gave them, it's 21-0 and the game is over early.

2. With the Vikings crashing down on Zeke all night, why did he not once opt to run on the RPO? Especially late.

Other than that, he played very well. He just needs to learn how to play 4 quarters instead of it always being 2 or 3.
Right

Why are we always needing these dramatic comebacks. Something not right getting off to these slow starts. And at least part of it is on Dak.

Apparently your goal is to throw mess against the wall and when asked to produce proof you turn the convo to something else. Typical

Dak is Smith Jr and you did mention him. Why don’t you take your own advice and read before commenting.

From my perspective, it is not so much about praise for Dak, but rather understanding that Dak is not the problem with this team. His throws were on target and crisp.

The rest of your post is 100% spot on. We are an average team at this point, and I really believe this has to do with coaching. The whole coaching staff needs to be gutted, and this includes Richard and Moore. Some people are impressed with Moore because we have seen some creativity after years in the doldrums with Linehan. The truth is, there are a bunch of guys out there that can bring BOTH experience and creativity. The defense has talent, but what the hell kind of scheme do we have anyway? Even the broadcasters say it is the same every week. Special Teams is atrocious...ATROCIOUS. Kick Returns are never even attempted and our longest punt return this year is what? 23 yards? And when we do make a great special teams play, the yellow flag is ALWAYS on the turf.

Watching last night's game (Seattle/SF) made it abundantly clear how far away we are from being CONSISTENTLY COMPETITIVE. And the only way to get there is competent coaching.
Absolutely. Dak is playing good enough for us to win a lot of games and make noise in the playoffs. HOWEVER, I disagree with you that the defense has a lot of talent. I think the defense is far over praised and over rated. Actually the defense has poor talent overall. Only DLaw is talented on the DL. Everyone else is either average or below average. This includes Quinn who is a good pressure guy but is not good against the run. Woods is BAD and so is Collins. The LB's are over rated. LVE is average. Jaylon might be slightly above average. Sean Lee is good but long in the tooth. Joe Thomas should play more IMHO. We are bad at both safety positions. Byron Jones is above average but not great. Awuzie is below average and is a problem. J Lewis should play more but doesn't.

The fact is, that the defense is overall average at best to slightly below average. This is why teams can run against them. Teams that run right at them usually win. The issue still remains the inability for the defense to stop the other team. This puts too much pressure on Dak and the offense. For Dak and the offense, they are going to have to carry this team and score and score and score on most of their possessions if they are going to have any chance to win important games. This defense is NOT going to be that defense that wins you a game.

Dak and company are going to have to get back to clock eating drives that end up in points to win. Scoring fast with an air assault is not how this team can win. Slow the game down, run the ball, chew the clock, short passes, extend drives one at a time all the way down the field and score. Eat up 5-7 minutes per drive.

That is the formula for victory when you have a sub par defense and yes fans, we have a sub par defense.

Have to disagree respectively, "we" do not have an "unbelievably easy schedule this year". Among their first 6 games, they played the Gnats, Skins, Fish, Aints, Pack, and Jets.

The Bears, Rams, Egals, Aints and Pats were all playoff teams last season and make up almost half of the Boys schedule the rest of the way. How anyone thinks this is an "easy schedule" is certainly mind boggling.

Perhaps it is time for the Cowboys to trade another high draft pick to make a splash in acquiring another play maker on offense? All we know is that they failed the easiest part of the season. Up next is the hard part of the schedule we all had been waiting for.

As far as "only beaten one team with a winning record", call Garrett. :laugh:
Right. It’s not an easy schedule .

But I didn’t see anywhere in the quote you responded to where he said it was. Just stated the losing record against winning teams?

I do wonder if any other quarterback in the league polarises such strong opinions amongst their fans!

You are bipolar. If you need proof of all the times that you snidely referred to posters as "Dakaholics" then you have a serious memory problem, or a serious case of denial. It's all over this thread.

And is the same problem that this fanbase has when it comes to detail and accuracy.
The worst thing about this 5-4 run is that people still aren't paying attention. It's been 9 games. We've only beaten one team with a winning record.

for me it comes down to our advantages. Where are we truly better than anyone else at? We have had some flashes but overall we are not moving together 100%. One thing is certain though and thats we are often at a disadvantage in coaching. And the decisions that make or break a game, even in light of the fact that players are the ones who make it happen, Garrett has never been a reason why we have won a game.
Some games we win the coaching battle. Some game’s we win the talent battle but lose the coaching battle. It’s just a mess.
