I think Risen makes good sense you just aren't listening.
Emmitt didn't just lead in stats. His efforts and heart lead the team to victories and super bowls.

How could you NOT be inspired by his game against the Eagles....240 yards on a blasted shoulder? (I think that was the game...but you get my point anyway).

A leader LEADS...to SOMEWHERE. All Dak has to do is win. And he's got it. What does he do...to LEAD? Just have stats? Hmmm...he may have to battle and take risks and show this team how to truly FIGHT.

Not just butt slaps and new shoes.
I don't disagree that emmitt was a leader. so was aikman. the point is there are different types of leadership, the way emmitt led wasn't and isn't the only way.

winnign superbowls is not an indicator of being a good leader or not. I am sure there are leaders in Detroit, Browns, Chargers. just because they missed playoffs and didn't win superbowls doesn't mean that they don't have leaders....you are incorrectly mixing the two to mean the same thing.

a leader leads the team somewhere....if they get there great. but if they don't yet accomplish more than they would otherwise, then the leader led. like I said, in past 20 years there has been 12 QBs that won superbowls. does that mean no other QB was a leader. except them?

you are utterly confused between team results and leadership.

I tend to look at results. Emmitt Smith wasn't a great player because the team said he was. He showed it on the field.

Words aren't evidence. People can say anything.

Dak Prescott is a great leader who has never led a team to anything of any significance.

Let me know when dak has a HOF OL, TEAM full of HOF players, HOF coaches and in an era that was quite different then now. Field play has zero do with leaderships.it how his coaches and teammates feel about him not some spare fanbase who have never spent time with the man. the man, NOT JUST THE PLAYER.

BTW ES22 while one of my all time faves and he is an all time great wouldnt be that on this team, he would be Zeke. let that sink in, this is a team game and the OL, OC, HC, and other factors all have to be in line to do what ES22 did,.that fact,.Zeke is every bit the back 22 was as far as talent goes, on different team in a different era he can't be, same as dak vs Aikman romo vs Aikman. out them on that team, they do as well, thats easy to see.

when your teammates dont play well what happens oh right 95 nffcg when our stars coughed it up and got down 21-0 where was ES22 to win that game? all by himself oh wait it did NOT happen..the team played bad and well they all failed.

Daks played well in all 3 of his playoff games so has zeke really, other factors lost those games, mostly defense.

leadership isn't field play or stats but if you want to bring those you i have many for your Debbie downer view to watch and realize these types of debates are a fail, we are talking leadership and that not a thing a fan can judge and if his hC and teammates say so its true.got it??

I can say if it true or false and neither can any fan.

sorry its not possible, only fan narratives come into play but facts are from what weve heard is Dak and even Zeke are locker-room faves and teammates love them..that all that matters and that makes you leader if your teammates follow you and all you hear from them is hes a great leader. Then it's a FACT you cannot debate.

Well I disagree.
Now...if Dak asks Zeke or Tony or Amari or Biadasz..."what do you need from me".....that's what a leader does! The leader should already know what the boss expects.

If Mike hasn;t made that clear by NOW...then shame on him.

I think it's okay to disagree on this, ya know? It doesn't mean we hate Dak or that we don't want him to succeed. Dak does not HAVE to be this great gigantic Zeus "leader". As mike told him....just do what you do

"don't try to do too much"

...it's fine.
how do you know he hasn't? how do you know they don't do that when in meetings? are you listening in on their conversations. you are making an assumption and then criticizing based on that assumption. you didn't even know he asked his coach that question, until the coach decided to say it. so do you expect all those players to now also say, yes Dak said that to us? to satisfy you?

I never said he was this Zeus leader. show me a post that I made it to be that. now, as usual what Dak detractors do, they exagerate and spin. what I said was what he said is not stupid as some called it. I didn't criticize him incessantly for asking questions. I didn't make any assumptions and make up stories as you did and I didn't confused superbowl wins with lack of leadership.

seriously......you are grasping at straws...you are drowning. quit while you are behind.

exactly....they are so utterly confused, trying to tie results with leadership, results on the field have to do with skills, ability, etc. you don't have to be a leader to be a good player. Owens was a good player, nobody called him a leader. and they also use one example as the only way to lead...Emmitt was a leader. Allen was a leader. Aikman was a leader. Irvin was a leader. they all led differently.

by that same standards they use, then Rodgers has lost his leadership skills given he hasn't won a superbowl in 10+ years.....Marino was not a leader, given he never won a superbowl. Jim Kelly wasn't a leader because he never won a superbowl. Warren Moon wasn't a leader, because he never won a superbowl. Dan Fouts wasn't a leader because he didn't win a superbowl.....but Hey Foles is a leader, because he led the team to a superbowl win.

I mean its utterly idiotic line of argument

Dak Prescott is just boys with his teammates. It’s like the whole “Hot Boyz” thing and how LVE reacted when Jaylon Smith got traded, even though Jaylon was horrible. That’s not being a leader.

It’s when things start going bad and other folk are being blamed, when you see who a real leader is. Then you start seeing your WRs saying they are wide open and it’s not their fault. Emotion and being ‘homies’ doesn’t work when you start losing and the money and value of your potential contract becomes an issue.

The issue of Romo and Dak had zero to do with who was actually a better leader. That was basically a young roster that hadn’t even played much with Romo, if at all.

We all went to HS and college and we all know how this dynamic actually works.
you start seeing selfish players start to talk about personal success and stats, at crucial time of the year, while 51 other players keep their mouth shut. grab their lunch pale and go to work. this is the same player who earlier in the year said, I don't care about stats and only team wins and now, because media called him out about his output and often disappearance in big games is thinking selfishly about himself and himself only....that's the exact opposite of leadership. that's closer to Terrell Owens than it is to be any kind of leader.

Romo failed. he underachieved. he couldn't lift the team and he didn't show much leadership. going to cabo, in the middle of the season...instead of spending extra time studing film and working with his teammates. you need to come to terms with the fact Romo is gone and he failed. as deep as it hurts you. face it

Yeah there's no actual evidence that he's a great leader. That's all nonsense. I've never watched him on the field and thought he was willing his team to be better than they were.

What's going on in Dak's head if he is asking his head coach, "What do you need from me?" Sounds like he is frustrated.

I doubt he is frustrated. But he is a QB that has not had playoff success yet and I am sure this game means a lot to him. Not sure why anyone would make this sound negative. I have had employees that have 15+ years of experience ask me "what can I do to help?" when we are facing a challenge. This is entirely normal.

well you know the dak detractors....if dak as much as F@rrts they will analyze how his f@rrt wasn't smelling the right way and it didn't come out with the right velocity and right direction and didn't have the right wetness. anything to cling to.
Yes there are extremists, on both end of the spectrum when it comes to Dak, and there are rational fans that recognize Daks strengths but can clearly see his weaknesses as well.
You represent the extreme in the sense that you would ask for a Dak f@rt in a to-go-bag.

Dak didn't ask, "What can I do to help?". Stop reading into his words. Dak asked his coach, "What do you want from me?" It's not the same thing as you are translating it. Misquoting him as you did, really ticks me off because you feel the need to make stuff up to push your own agenda. Only a POS does that. You can't be honest with what he actually said so do the cowardly thing by making crap up. I would never work for a POS with that little integrity, but I know horrible bosses are out there and you are one. :mad:

Talking crap again I see. That is all he does time and time again. Well, it's time to back it up...no more beating up little kids and saying the right things to impress the girls and fanboys. I'll be watching...and hearing the excuses.

It is time to play with the big kids. I'm a bit surprised he doesn't know what Coach needs. Show us what you got Dak. LEAD us to a playoff win!~

Well, maybe he can't think for himself? Maybe he should have said, Coach I need this instead of the other way around. Backward logic from him.

That passive-aggressive reply just confirms every word I said about you. You know it's true. ;)

Boss: Joe you need to do a better job with this...
JoeKing: You are wrong! You lack integrity, you are a POS, you are the worst boss in the world, you should just quit and leave me alone :mad::mad::mad:
Boss: Joe I was just trying to give you some feedback
JoeKing: This just confirms that you are terrible boss. This passive aggressive nonsense does not work with me. You are not a true leader! Even Dak is a better leader than you! :mad::mad::mad:

Are you really downplaying Emmitt Smiths career and accomplishments to try and prop Dak up?

You Dallas Prescott fans are the absolute worst.

I see I got under your skin to the point you had to respond. Are you still putting words in Dak's mouth? Making things up? You're so petty.

Another clown comment. Guy took the team
over as a rookie from Romo. What’s nonsense is your insistence that Dak has no leadership qualities. Saying that, as you often do, makes you sound like an idiot.
