nothing but facts to debunk myths and false perceptions...if we didn't score 20 points in the first half the Dak detractors would be unhappy.....scoring 12-15 points in a half is usual for most teams.....doing the same for two halves, puts you in the 24-30 point range for the game.......like I said, perception and agenda go a long way to creating false narratives
There aren't many negative threads on Dalton because how many different ways can we tell the Dak Haters that Andy sucks and Andy Dalton will never be equal to Dak Prescott.
Nice post.
Now you're including the 3rd quarter? Come on man, has the "garbage time" goalpost been moved?
It’s a combination of a lot of things, but people want to try to boil things down to a smoking gun all the time. Each game is different. Always is. Different players, including Dak, making mistakes. Missed blocks, dropped passes, missed kicks, failure to force take aways or 3 and outs, untimely penalties, horrible special teams and field position, etc. This team has been a comedy of errors since at least 2008 with some rare exception years and then in the playoffs we have become a comedy of errors even in those years.
Dak Haters will always move the goal post.
^ Above bold/underlined. This is out most critical issue. For 4 years he was making nothing, NOW all of sudden the staff should draft another QB? What makes anyone thing that's even a possibility? On top of that, look at the absolute horrible job the staff did this season in free agency. Good God, the vast majority got injured and/or released! We could have signed other players that could make an impact, but we sat on 27+ in the cap?
I think there are certainly some haters who hoist Romo up as a God when he retired. For whatever reason, nothing will ever be good enough. But I think the majority just have a different perception of what Prescott does. They put all the wins and losses on that one player. When it's VERY much bigger than that.
Yeah, Elliott fumbled, but he only ran 10 times. And he actually got through.
The point is they had Prescott and Elliott under a rookie contract for 4 years and didn't build ****. They could have played Elliott on his 5th but decided to be the genius staff they are and extend him early.
We have been done for a long time for a long time already. Letting him go more than likely starts a QB carousel that hinders the team, too.
Exactly!!
I am Dak's biggest defender but I wouldn't sign Dak to a long term deal after ankle injury.
Because that is what smart teams do for QBs whom have proven they can be part of a winning formula.
I have no facts to base this opinion on, just my gut, but I believe they tagged Dak and sat on a bunch of cap money to extend him so it doesn't sting as much as some think.
