Like I said, it's your choice what you want to believe!

Here you go - pick them - only 1 other pass completed over 10 yards!

https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/charts...2018/week/dak-prescott/PRE285723/2018/12/pass

2 over 10 yards maybe in week 11 - whoopee!

Hey - week 10 he had 4!

https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/charts...s/2018/10/dak-prescott/PRE285723/2018/10/pass

2 in week 9!
Who cares?
Sounds like you only care about pretty fantasy stats/points.

He’s benefited from Zeke....fair enough. But you can’t tell me he’s benefiting from the likes of this offensive line that has Zach Martin, a inconsistent Collins and a bunch of cast offs. And earlier in the season he had the worst receiving core in the league. His team isn’t nearly as stacked as Brees or Goff’s.
He benefited highly in 2016.

The OL had been built for Romo.

Romo Friendly it was said.

We know what happened.

DAK rode that line and Zeke to Rookie of the year.

My point is..

no matter how you look at his success or lack of same..

DAK is not going thru some 5 year plan to get success.

He has not had to carry the team on his play like Romo had to do.

He has not had to go to some 3-13 team like would have happened had he been judged good enough.

Instead he was 4th Rd.

And went to a team that had assets in place.

He did not have to struggle with team rebuilding.

So DAK has had alot of things handed to him and he is not really where he should be by his 3rd year.

What bothers me is all this talk about a big extension on DAK.

Zeke has earned one.

DAK not so much.

What I hope does not happen is..

that we give DAK his extension based on anticipated dividends like we did with Romo and Dez.

Both those guys washed out and took a huge slice of cap when they left back to back.

Dak deserves his accolades . When he doesn’t turn it over we are like 23-1. Winning cures all ills. Just Do It.

Daks passing weaknesses are only going to be criticized in defeat.


Just say "Thank you Zeke" and move on my brother!

He has benefited for a good team since he was drafted if this team wasn’t good at the oline and Rb position it would be absolutely trash on offense I mean garbage

That's pretty much every offense in the league except maybe 3...your point

If you look at the last three games, Dak completed 70.7% of his passes, zero INT's, passer rating 103.4. He has run for 3 TD's.

This is how Dak is trending, forget the 1st half of the season, our quarterback is back.

Me personally, I think it's time to call it like it is. Dak is not a top 10 QB at this point in his development. He is also not as bad as many make him out to be. He holds the ball to long, he takes sacks he should not, he still has accuracy issues with throws he should not be having issues with, he is slow to pick up 3rd and 4th reads and he needs to get better at his pre-snap reads. Having said all of this, he is a heck of a runner, he can extend plays, he does not simply throw the ball up for grabs, he is pretty good on the roll out, he is improving his ability to look off the safety and his accuracy is getting better. His mechanics are improving but he is just not there yet. The more important things are his ability to lead and his Character. Both of those things, IMO, are top shelf for this kid. I mean, lets be honest, he is not getting the best coaching possible either.

We gotta be patient and allow him to develop but here's the thing, if this is the wrong Coaching Staff, then we've already waited to long to correct that situation with this kid. We can not afford to continue to piss seasons away, or even games away, on his development. If he is to become a QB who can win championships for us, who can keep us competitive year in and year out, then we need to get with the program ASAP IMO.

I hope you're right.

There is a difference between Dak's YAC and guys like Montana. Great QBs lead their receivers and hit them in stride, giving them a much better chance to get extra yardage. Cooper had to stop and change directions to get his yards. A throw like the one down the sideline to Gallup would have been made by Montana, etc.

That said, Dak did seem to have enough trust in Cooper to throw the ball before he broke wide open, which is an improvement.

So, what's your point. The throw on p90 yarder was threaded between 3 players, of course he had to stop, the ball was where it needed to be . Learn frickin football, the 40 yarder was a slant that he didn't have to stop or juke.

With rules slanted to the offense and quarterbacks putting up all kinds of jaw dropping numbers it makes sense that Dak’s stat line would look good. I’m not pro or anti Dak but I just don’t see him dissecting a defense with intermediate passes the way a quarterback needs to.

I credit Dak with a very good throw there, but you made it sound as if the TD was mostly because of Dak, when the truth is it was mostly Cooper. Football, don't be an *******.

You made it sound like it was all Cooper. The throw was perfectly thrown between 3, where Cooper said he wasn't even suppose to get the ball, he was a decoy.

As I said, it was a good throw. I already told you what my point was.

Just because someone has a different opinion of a player and sees a different point of view doesn't mean you should just act like you know football and they don't. If your best argument is throwing insults, I can do that.

Again , Eli Manning ranks 10th in passing yards ... Everyone is kinda waiting for him to retire or be benched .

Passing Yards is not a good indicator of team success .

When you say something that is total bs on a message board expect to be called out.
