If we analyze San Francisco, they are winning, even though they have a bad QB, with bad numbers, why? Well, I attribute it to Kyle Shanahan, and of course to other good players, but it's not because of his QB, and here's Dallas' mistake, overpaying an average QB, believing that Dak was going to be the key piece to win, and It has been shown that no, at this moment QBs 1, 2 and 4 in the league, Rodgers, Brady and Allen, are out of the playoffs, they are elite, along with Mahomes, but even that does not guarantee you win, what is important? having a good HC, and having a good balance, offensive/defensive, does not work, nor did it help to have a QB of 40M per year, that hurts financially, and not being able to make big moves, look at the rams, they they brought Stafford, Miller, Michel, Beckham Jr, Ramsey via transfer, and others, out of nowhere they became a competitive team, they made strong moves and took risks, right now they are in the second round of the playoffs and with great possibilities being in the SB, Jones big mistake is overpaying players, and his biggest mistake was letting himself be pressured by Dak, to give him that contract, it would have been better to let him go and look for other alternatives; it was a disappointment, a whole inconsistency this season. A lousy contract that will leave the cowboys very limited for the next 2 seasons, wasting talent.
I have read numerous times on this board that the salary cap is a myth and never prevents the team from keeping the players they want and even adding free agents that the team targets. Where is all the posters that has the solutions to the cap he’ll that this team is facing over the next several years?

I suggest a subscription to The Athletic for everyone who loves this game.

The analysts rated the play of our mostly abysmal defensive line and linebacker corps. We were appallingly weak, especially at linebacker. The only two high-end pieces we have are Parsons and Diggs. And it showed. We let San Francisco run all over us and if we don't shore that part of the game up next year against some of the opponents we will be playing, we're toast. It's an old cliche but it lasts for a reason: Defense wins championships.

But, by all means, let the Dak haters preach in the meantime.
Dak sux!

I did not read your post, paragraphs are you friend. Besides I know it is the 2nd most dumbest post ever without even reading it, I scanned through it, seen your crap and stopped.
I don't waste my time on such crap. I already wasted enough time by responding.
Well "HOMER" I could careless about your response. Ha-Haaaaaaaaa, everyone but you know I post the truth about the TEN TOE SLOTH, formally known as Dak Prescot.

If we didn’t pay the man we would be looking for a QB. That can take years ask Washington and a few other teams.
Well obviously
They still were only a play away against the 49ers which would have let them advance to the next round. Anything can happen going forward. Just look at the Chiefs. They went 50 years without a championship.
I am sorry I don't understand your point. To me the next level that the Cowboys need to reach is actually making a championship game. I don't even imagine a SB anymore.
Just get to the game where you have an opportunity to play for a berth to the SB.

Disagree. Dak led the league in "tight window throws" 3 out of his first 6 seasons so far. Plus, his completions accuracy has been at 65% or higher with a passer rating no lower than 97. That shows Dak is capable. He and the Offense simply slumped this second half of this season. I would love to see someone like Kurt Warner coach up Dak, even if in private. That would do wonders for Dak and this team.


this is the case of stats lie - watch any game and Dak is not even close to an accurate QB and he cant read a defense. This kind of says it all:

In his first year, Prescott threw for 13 touchdowns and 4 interceptions against above-.500 teams and compiled a 6-3 record, including the playoffs. Since then, his touchdown-to-interception ratio is 25-25 and his record as a starter is 6-17. Last year, he had an 8/8 TD/INT ratio and the Cowboys went 1-6 against teams with an above-.500 record.

You blow their minds when you get off those fantasy-Madden stats!

The 49ers beat us not because we were out coached but because they are better than we are on both sides of the line of scrimmage.

That's right. Your team wasn't good enough. All that intoxicating talent you swoon over. Personnel got them beat.

maybe, but they definitely showed better coaching. Not sure the personnel is very different.

27 years of stink, Dak is just the new bad odor in GM Jerry Land.

If Dak could get his Oline to pass protect the way Garoppolo had his do for him, along with receivers get open, catch passes and run after the catch, Dak just might be able to accomplish as much. Same thing goes to getting good run blocking which opens your rushing attack the way Garoppolo had his Oline and RBs do for him.
Dak has lots of players open, he just doesn’t see it quickly enough.Sssoooooooo slow to process.

They certainly had the chance this year and it looks like they will have that chance again next year.

Show video proof. A play or two is understandable, but to make it seem as if Dak constantly misses open receivers early is downright deceitful and wrong.

Well, stats don't lie. What you're not realizing is that DAK IS NOT THE PROBLEM. Football is a team game. Others contribute to a win or a loss.

I'm not going to argue if paying Dak or not paying Dak was the right move. We're stuck with it. What I will say about the Dak and Jimmy G comparison is the 49ers coaching staff and FO have accepted what he is and they've adjusted their team to win with his strengths and flaws. I feel Jerry and Son, McCarthy and Moore has not accepted that Dak is not elite. Dak is a middle of the pack QB with a lot of strengths and a lot of flaws. Our organization can not come to grips he's not an MVP/elite player. That to me is the biggest downfall of our organization right now, and with some fans. Dak is not elite. But we can possibly win with him like the 49ers are winning with Jimmy G but we have to acknowledge what Dak is. Jerry's biggest downfall is becoming infatuated with players and not seekng them for what they are. He sees them for what he wants them to be, then pays them by that delusional assessment and then we don't deliver in big games.

I am not happy how he played. But I am not going to spend my life whining about it or him.
But you seem to "spend your life" being contrary to folks critical of Dak. In my humble opinion, you went from a good positive poster to one that now just comes off as bitter and petty.

Who cares what others think? Most people are looking for attention and you are giving it to them. They want to ruffle feathers and you feed right into it. I understand it's a message board meant for banter/debate, but if you don't like something that's posted, what's so hard about just scrolling past?

Go back to being that positive happy guy on here, it's a much better look for you.
