I'm just enjoying good, enjoyable, winning football being played by our team this year instead of losing, miserable football that we are forced to watch for the year and already be talking about the Draft.
I hope this continues.


I also just had serious surgery and am enjoying some pretty good meds right now, so take that how you may.
Since you clearly didn't want us prying into what type of surgery you were ABOUT to get, I'll just say I hope you feel better soon, and wish 100% recovery for you!

We don't need Mahomes, Rogers, Josh Allen, Ryan Tannehill, Lamar Jackson, Tom Brady, Deshaun Watson. We have Dak. Dak is doing great. I'm not concerned about the offense at all... I'm more concerned about the defense however we have some key players on the defensive side coming back.

Most of the QBs you named have defenses that aren’t as good as ours.

Our defense is a strength that is just going to continue to get better as the season barring massive injuries.

Just to be clear...

Stafford according to ESPN stats...has the number one QBR.
Is 3 in passing in Passing Yards
No 20 in TDs
Only 4 ints.

He...and the rams offense...are killing it.

He does but I dont think he is bashing Dak at all in this particular thread. He even says "this version of Dak can win it all"

He literally just a few weeks ago said this team can't win with Dak at the helm. Maybe he's had a change of thought. Because he also said this defense isn't good enough to win but said no team plays good defense anymore. Catch is the Colin Cowherd of the site.

You've already destroyed your reputation when it comes to evaluation. You should be one of the last people on earth mentioning Dak Prescott's name.

This thread shows an incredible lack of self awareness.

:lmao:

I changed my mind because the information available changed.

Dak is unbelievable right now and he’s great for 4 quarters even against good teams with good defenses.

I couldn’t say that about him in the past and I give Kellen Moore a lot of credit.

That ELITE QB in Kansas City is sure carrying his team and making up for his defense being trash right now. Stacking those wins. You really cant help yourself can you? I think Dak can lead us to the promised land. Especially as you said this version of Dak. So I do agree with you for the most part here. However. Some defenses are just so bad it doesnt matter who you have under center and that is showing right now in KC.
Not to mention the Oline problems.

They are having a good season but I think people still have that Cardinasl thrashing in their mind. And after that they beat up the Lions, Seahawks and Giants........not really murderers row.

Our defense paired with Tampa’s offense wouldn’t make anyone doubt Tampa, Arizona, GB, Or LA’s odds of winning a Super Bowl but right here on our own forum I see it used as an excuse all of the time but the reality is you don’t believe Dak can beat a guy like Rodgers even with a much better team than his.

It's funny that three of the four teams you mention are in the top 10 in DVOA for defense.

No, I would not be confident in those teams winning if their offense was paired with our defense. And I feel there is a very good chance that they will beat us in the playoffs because their defenses are better than ours (well, maybe not Green Bay's). That's the reality. Other than being opportunistic, our defense is not only not much better than theirs, but it's worse.

They are but I prefer our offensive talent over theirs any day.

The only questionable position offensively would be Stafford or Dak.

Im taking our RBs, TE’s, OL, and WRs. WR could be a coin flip for some people but is anyone trading Robert Woods for Cooper? Lamb for Cupp? Gallup and Wilson for Van Jefferson and old D. Jackson?

If you think Dallas can go to and win a Super Bowl then you can excuse yourself from this thread.

For those of who like to blame our defense, McCarthy, lack of playoff experience or whatever other excuse you can think of then this thread is for you.

If Dallas had Tom Brady right now would you think they could win a Super Bowl? Yep.

Rodgers? Yep.

Do you think the Cardinals have a better roster then us?

The Rams? Maybe they do.

But top to bottom Dallas has at worst the 2nd best roster in the NFC.

All of these “I don’t think we can win a Super Bowl because of our defense” is really you just saying Dak isn’t good enough because this defense is more than good enough. This defense isn’t stopping what some of you call an elite QB from winning anything.

Our defense paired with Tampa’s offense wouldn’t make anyone doubt Tampa, Arizona, GB, Or LA’s odds of winning a Super Bowl but right here on our own forum I see it used as an excuse all of the time but the reality is you don’t believe Dak can beat a guy like Rodgers even with a much better team than his.

I do believe this team can win a championship. I do think Dallas and LA have the best top to bottom NFC rosters and unlike a lot of you already making excuses I do think this version of Dak is more than enough.

Our fans keep turning over every rock to find everything that’s not perfect about this team to use as a future excuse while outside of this fan base everyone is envious because of how talent loaded we are.

This is some really twisted thinking here.

So if I think we have questions on defense that could hold us back, what I am really thinking is Prescott isn't good enough. If I am worried that McCarthy will make a braindead decision, like a clock management decision, in the playoffs that could cost us a game, what I am really worried about is Dak isn't good enough. Since he doesn't stack up to the greatest QB in NFL history, therefore, he's not good enough.

LOL. I gotta give you credit for a unique take on another Dak isn't all that good debate.

KC’s defense was always trash. They just stopped scoring a ridiculous amount of points and now we get to see all of their imperfections.


If Dallas wants their defense to take another step then take a page out of KC’s playbook and score a lot of points to start games and keep scoring.

The reason people think that Brady and Rodgers could win a Super Bowl with this roster is because we have seen them win a Super Bowl before.

Dak will be doubted until he leads the team to a Super Bowl win. That's just how it goes

That is true, right or wrong the fact is fans will judge the QB by SB wins. I think Dak is leading this offense and playing to a top level but will be doubted until he can help this team to a championship.

I think Dak is playing great. As good as anyone.

I also think if Aaron Rodgers inherited our current defense then they are a better team.

Dallas has the horses and acting like they don’t is an excuse for those who don’t really think the guy throwing the football is good enough.

No other NFC teams expectations change with our defense for the worse and a lot of them would be improved. They sure as heck don’t change with our offensive supporting cast either for other teams.

Oh and McCarthy has won a Super Bowl with Rodgers. It’s really not an excuse if you believe in Dak. No other team would completely change their Super Bowl expectations with McCarthy.

It’s OK to say you were wrong. You were.

Another backhanded compliment.

You were totally wrong. Admit it.
