Didn't miss a single pass in 4 OT games. It sucks the streak ended on Thanksgiving, but it's still notable. Apologies if this is common knowledge, it slid right by me.

@don_dougan - Here's an amazing stat. Dak Prescott has never thrown an incomplete pass in 4 career OT games. He's 18 of 18 for 214 yards, 11.9 yards per att, 3 GW TD's, 0 sacks & a 155.79 passer rating. Only loss at Hou when the #Cowboys punted on 4th & 1 from the Hou 42.

3 total games, two of them against the same opponent, prior to this game, going 18-18.

Basically dink and dunk against the Texans, going a whopping 3-3 only to punt and give the ball to the Texans who then scored, meaning they lost.

2 of them against the Eagles, one of them as a bus driver in 2017 when Zeke was dominating and teams were completely set on stuffing Zeke, the other in 2018, further, meaning both against Jim Schwartz who never bothered to play anything but one safety man on the outside against Dak. The 2018 game was the infamous one where Amari bailed Dak out and had to yell at Dak to throw him the ball, becayse CBs we’re just sitting the routes with no safety help over the top.

One of those ‘accurate’ OT passes was his typical 1 read throw that never should have been made on a 3rd and 8, with the Db having clear inside possession and once again, no safety to even help and a lucky bounce after the defender hit it.

Dak being clutch is a myth and a joke, obfuscated by the bus driver he was in 2016, when defense were being worn out by Zeke and Dak just had to take care of the ball.


Dak isn’t even in the league average “in tight games” at the point the article was written, meaning to begin this season. This idea he was bringing teams back in 2020 is a joke, because the similar 4th quarter situational stats were horrible as well, meaning defenses just tightened up and watched Dak become the check down Charlie he was, which is why he was throwing on average around 5 YPC. Even Dalton’s stats were better last year in those situations.

He’s not even on the same planet as Romo, let alone Mahomes, either..



Notice how he’s not even asking to be a drop back passer in these situations either.

Dude is facing 8 in the box all day long and WRs in man coverage, with the best blocking in the business for the majority of his time here.

Hell, you guys are literally mad at other folks on that team that these last couple of games when Dak hasn’t looked like “the MVP”, because Zeke and Pollard couldn’t sustain a 6 YPC average and upper 5s on first down?

How many more excuses do you need for this mediocre QB?

Imagine when the run game is no longer good anymore and Dak starts seeing zone a lot more and he’s got to go through progression. I mean right now, he sees cover 2 and it’s basically a check into a run play.

2017, Zeke suspension anyone…

We won with Cooper Rush playing his first game in four years. Even he got the ball to Amari 8 times for close up 120 yards, including the game winning TD with the same looks Dak has been seeing since 2016, meaning 8 men in the box. When you got good blocking and man coverage, it’s hard for any DB to stay with a WR, let alone one as talented as Amari. Even the stats indicate that Dak profited off man coverage when Amari came, but was still completely mediocre against zone, meaning zones in close games which that season was full of, not ones where defenses are playing garbage prevent while you multiple scores in the second half.

Dak stans we’re delusional after the Denver game claiming that was some ‘formula’ to beat us, but that’s been the formula for Dak since 2016. He sees more man than pretty much any ‘good’ QB in the league.

Sure Buddy.. this board was raving about Zeke the whole first half of the season, telling us how he’s lost weight and is firing on all cylinders, hitting the hole like no tomorrow.

By mid-October, he was third in the NFL in yards at 452 yards and had 25 first downs and 5 TDs, second only to Derrick Henry. He also had 94 touches and zero fumbles.

He was averaging 5.3 YPC, which was the highest of his career.

And this is with the fewest carries he’s ever had since he’s been in the league. Which brings us to Zeke in the context of Pollard.

They play Zeke so much, because of his pass blocking or in play action, meaning against the 8 in the box. Through the first 114 snaps when Zeke was on the field, he touched it 27.2% of the time. They have effectively tried to exploit the passing game with the presence of Zeke and that’s been the way since they tried to be “Air Dak”. When Pollard was on the field for his first 41 snaps, he touched it 56% of the time.

So basically, just cut the blind homerism of this mediocre QB.

Dak stans are operating at the height of excises, to even mention these two legendary QBs with this mediocrity. I mean if homers said “we can win with this formula of perfect football everywhere around Dak”, we would be more understanding. But here we are, with this guy mentioned in the same breath as Marino and Fouts.

They didn’t have OLs and RGs either and played in an era where DBs could actually cover, spear over the middle, defenders could hit QBs including below the waist. Dak “fold under even slight pressure” would implode in that era. Linehan and Moore effectively took out the traditional 5-7 step drop-back for this guy, because he’s awful at it. Guys like Randall Cunningham could launch the ball 65 yards with the flick of a wrist were way more talented than him in every respect, including legs, and they couldn’t produce consistently in that era even with the defenses they had in Philly.

His WRs couldn't separate from a fire hydrant. Rather than throw a pick from his own 6 he played it safe and the defense folded. And that throw to Noah should have been caught.

Great. How did he do in the last OT game.

khiladi said:

You basically just repeated what I’ve been saying for years and you used one of my post that says it, while referencing an article in the post I referenced to say it..

even Cooper Rush took what the defense gave him, got the ball to Amari 8 times in man, and won..

Congratulations!

Marino had the Mark's brothers and Fouts had Winslow and Charlie Joiner.

Only Dak is not allowed to have any weapons and MUST be flawless with his top weapons out in Dak Haters world.

If only he played that well at the start of gsmds instead of allowing his team to fall behind, he might be a good QB.

Some of that may be on him.. but a lot of it is also on the OC. They script those first 12-15 plays and we've all seen how vanilla they usually are... We are very very seldom aggressive early in the game.. Instead we choose to use those first scripted plays to "figure things out" often acting as if we have not spent a whole damn week studying film on the other team. This is the one area where Lenihan and Garrett were light years better than Kellen Moore. When those two were in charge we were routinely taking our first possession in games and sticking it into the end zone. Same with red zone efficiency.. We used to be one of the best in the league until Moore took over.. we have been no better than middle of the pack since. A lot of the same guys.. some, like Dak, playing better than he ever has, but inferior results.. What other explanation can there be other than the play calling?
