CFZ 5 Reasons to be Excited/Concerned about 2023 Cowboys

[CowboyRoy]

Reading is fundamental. Answer the QUESTION!

When were those players the PRIMARY REASON that they lost a BIG game. Give me the games and the dates. Dont give me excuses.

Dak’s oline was good enough to beat the 49ers. But Dak crapped himself.

When have those other players ever crapped themselves when the season was on the line?
I’m waiting for specifics……

"Primary reason"? Are you changing the goal posts now?

Whats the matter, cant stay in the conversation?

Just to teach you football, wins and losses are NEVER one player. So the answer to your question is NEVER. NO QB has EVER been the sole reason they lost.

So are you saying Dak was the PRIMARY reason we beat the Bucs? That would be just as dumb.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Overall is the key word. But when it's the drive we need to win the game, he doesn't deliver in the clutch.

If Dak was all that, the Niners wouldn't be announcing to the world that their game plan was to make Dak beat them. If Dak was all that, he wouldn't have said he has to do better, which he said after the Niners loss. Couldn't even muster more than 12 points, yet gave up 2 interceptions and should have had a third. .

And my statement is laughable?

Second, if it's a team game then stop offering Dak's stats. Offer the only stats that matter which are 2-4 (Dak and the Cowboys' playoff record) and the stat that we are 0-2 in advancing to the NFC Championship Game when we had a chance.

A quarterback's job is not to deliver victories? The player that touches the ball on every play and keeps the ball longer than any player on the field; it isn't his responsibility to deliver victories?

I don't want to see you post another Dak stat - no attempts-completion-touchdown stats, no Dak-led comebacks, no win-loss records involving Dak as a starting quarterback. No individual stats since it's a team game.

You pick stats at your convenience. You'll be among the first to pull stats if the Cowboys start out with a 4-0, 10-1 record with Dak as well as the first one to criticize every other player except Dak if and when we lose in the playoffs.

We're on to your shtick. That's why you're in an argument with multiple people in this thread, oh thou defender of all things Dak.

QB's dont have records.

Another sure fire sign that you dont understand remotely the basics of football.



Just so you understand............wins and losses are a TEAM stat.

When discussing an individual, you look to INDIVIDUAL stats. When you discuss the abilities of the TEAM you look to TEAM stats.
This is what I mean when I say you cant make a coherent argument.

So why do you use team stats to discredit a INDIVIDUAL? I would suspect that you know Daks INDIVIDUAL stats make you look silly. But then again, why wouldn't you use "regular season" TEAM stats to talk about Dak then?

Again, I would suspect that you know that would again make you look silly, in your own incoherent argument.

And again, no a QB's job is NOT to deliver victories. Just to teach you about football, a QB ONLY plays for the offense. Doesnt play defense, special teams, or coach. Does he touch the ball more than anyone? About as much as the center. Is it the Centers job to win games? Poor guy, your incoherent argument is getting roasted again.

Just so you dont make the same mistake, the QB's job is to run the offense. Help the offense score points. And under Dak the Cowboys have had the #1 scoring offense in the NFL 3 years in a row.

So yah, Dak is doing his job well and making a big difference. If you want more educating I have a great article for you.

"Duh but what about the Niners game"?

If we swapped QB’s and got even average QB play, the Cowboys would have won and the 49ers would have lost.

Bottom line. End of story.

BWAAAA!!! So if the Niners had Dak and we had Purdy we win that game?

Out of ALL your out of touch statements, that was by far the most laughable. Well done!!

I would actually go into detail and discuss the Niners game with you, but I suspect that would be a waste of my time.

 

[Robbieac]

BWAAAA!!! So if the Niners had Dak and we had Purdy we win that game?

I love how you just jump from one random statement to the other. And they all center around ONE game, the niners game.

Out of ALL your out of touch statements, that was by far the most laughable. Well done!!

I would actually go into detail and discuss the Niners game with you, but I suspect that would be a waste of my time.

If you want to blame solely Dak for that game, I could really care less.

Wow. You really can't stay on topic, can you?

"Sole reason"? Are you changing the goal posts now?

Whats the matter, cant stay in the conversation?

I NEVER said Dak was the "SOLE" reason we lost! I said "PRIMARY" reason. Sole and Primary are not the same thing.

Look up the definitions of "SOLE" and "PRIMARY", and get back to me. Reading comprehension is a skill that you need to work on!

So you said Primary reason, not Sole reason?

Sorry that I cant stay on topic. I'll strive to do better.

Your laughable argument has morphed from "crapping the bed" to "primary reason they lost"

I guess when you lose one argument, just keep on changing it until you get something that makes a little more sense?

Your going in the wrong direction.

Huh? "Crapping the bed" and "primary reason they lost" are the same thing.

Or are you here to argue that Dak's disgusting performance against the 49ers wasn't "crapping the bed"?


BTW.......do you have definitions for "sole" and "primary" yet?

And anyone who uses one game to define a players career doesnt understand football, or cant make a credible argument otherwise.

How come you dont pick the Bucs game to talk about how bad of a QB Dak is? LOL

But just to BLOW your laughable BIG GAME thing out of the water..............Here are the stats for Mahomes in the SB against the Bucs two years ago:

Mahomes: 9 total points, 3 FGs

26-49 for 270 yards, 0 TD's, 2 picks for a QBR of 42

Is that "crapping the bed"?

Anything else you want to discuss?

 

[Robbieac]

Its football buddy. Its a lot more complicated than what your talking about. Crapping the bed to me, means having a bad game. Which he did. But there are lots of reasons why. And there all kinds of players that crapped the bed in that game on both sides of the ball.

I am glad that you admit that Dak crapped the bed. We are now making progress.

The problem is…..your $40 million franchise player can NOT crap the bed.

And I don’t talk about the Bucs game because the Bucs this year were one of the worst playoff teams in recent history. Beating up the handicapped is not something worth crowing about.

Peyton Manning loss the the Jets 2003 Wildcard game

41-0 Jets won

Manning

14-31 for 137 yards, 4.4 average ypc, 0 TDs, 2 picks, 31 QBR

Is that crapping the bed? And Manning has more of those.

 

[Motorola]

Dak’s play against the 49ers was probably the worst QB performance in the playoffs last year.

Prescott v. 49ers___23/37, 206 YD, 1 TD, 2 INT, sacked 1

49ers v. Eagles - NFC Championship
Johnson___7/13, 74 YD, 0 TD, 0 INT, sacked 2× for 14 YD
Purdy___4/4, 23 YD, 0 TD, 0 INT

Your arguments are weak and your conclusions weaker. I've shown you now two of many example of great QB's having bad games in big games. Your argument has been destroyed.

Dak having a bad game to a better team, on the road, and the #1 defense in the NFL is not a big deal. Especially when your only good RB goes down, your Oline blocks poorly, and you have few weapons to throw to.

You dont talk about the Bucs game because it doesnt suit your agenda.

The GREAT Tom Brady? So are you saying the team around the QB matters? Maybe you are learning.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Prescott v. 49ers___23/37, 206 YD, 1 TD, 2 INT, sacked 1

49ers v. Eagles - NFC Championship
Johnson___7/13, 74 YD, 0 TD, 0 INT, sacked 2× for 14 YD
Purdy___4/4, 23 YD, 0 TD, 0 INT

Just look at Purdy's performance in Cowboys game. It was a little better, but not much. And there were two easy picks one bouncing off Diggs hands and the other Hooker that would have made Purdys day even worse.

 

[Robbieac]

Prescott v. 49ers___23/37, 206 YD, 1 TD, 2 INT, sacked 1

49ers v. Eagles - NFC Championship
Johnson___7/13, 74 YD, 0 TD, 0 INT, sacked 2× for 14 YD
Purdy___4/4, 23 YD, 0 TD, 0 INT

Congrats. Dak was “better” than a guy without an arm and another guy recently off the street.

Uh wait……at least those jags didn’t hand multiple INTs to the other team. Maybe he wasn’t any better….

 

[Robbieac]

Prescott v. 49ers___23/37, 206 YD, 1 TD, 2 INT, sacked 1

Johnson___7/13, 74 YD, 0 TD, 0 INT, sacked 2× for 14 YD
Purdy___4/4, 23 YD, 0 TD, 0 INT

Also…..why did you leave off the QB ratings? Cherry picking stats?

BOTH of those jags had higher QBR’s than Dak. You’re not helping your point.

 

[tyke1doe]

LOL.............More lies. Your blanket statements are easily destroyed. Never?

First 3 years in the league Dak lead the NFL in last drive wins. Your lie has just been destroyed!!

Is it any wonder all you trolls can talk about is cherry picking Niners games?

And no the QB's job is to run the offense. A QB cannot deliver victories without the help of team mates.

Again you show you don't understand football. I'm not hear to teach you.

Context is your friend.

We're talking about PLAYOFFS!!! Go back and read your own statement. My response is a response to yours.

Second, I've ALREADY said Dak is a stats warrior during the regular season. Remember? It's the very post that got your dander up as you felt the burning passion to defend Dak, whom thou soul doth loveth.

I DEFINED my context and ACKNOWLEDGED that Dak puts up great numbers ... IN THE REGULAR SEASON!!!

But ... in the POST SEASON (where Cowboys quarterbacks are TRULY measured, a Dak-led offense that average 30-plus and 27-plus points in the regular season, could only muster 17 and 12 respectively in consecutive playoff games against the Niners. And the Niners own players called him out. Basically said, "This is our game plan, Dak. We're daring you to beat us because we don't believe you can do it." They called him out by NAME, You'd think the Niners would know football is simply a team game and would, maybe, call out Parsons, Lawrence, Cee Dee Lamb, Zack Martin and the rest of the team. Why in the name of team would they call out Dakari France PresSCOTT Key if it wasn't just about the individual player?
Don't they know it's a team game?

And you accuse ME of cherry picking and not knowing football. Apparently, the 49ers don't know football either..

Oh, and a quarterback can't run an offense without the help of teammates either.

And neither am I "hear" to teach you the proper spelling and application of "hear" and "here."

You declared thaf Prescott "had probably the worst QB performance in last year's playoffs" - which he did not.
The 49ers suffered the double-whammy of their wunderkin rookie sufferering a most unusual injury at the worst time - which resulted in the team having to sub in the ultimate inferior journeyman in a championship game.
You would post would have carried more merit to state that Prescott played one of the worst playoff games for an experienced playoff QB --
especially following his performance the week before in the wildcard round.
