Did you lose money on Lamar Jackson? Sorry bro, I was trying to tell you.
He outplayed rivers as a rookie Quarterback.

Thrown into the fire he somehow handely took the raven and to the playoffs battling top heavyweights like the chargers to get there.


Ravens are a lock for playoffs every year he’s under center. They’ll be early favorites to win the Super Bowl if Lamar gets comfy slinging that rock

Dude, come on.

When trolling--you still have to maintain some ambiguity or sense of wanting to be taken seriously.

I don't think even Lamar's momma would support the statement in bold.

Dak in his 3rd year on pace to tie romos 10+ year record of playoff wins.


Now I can see why the whole team from coaches to players couldn’t wait to have Dak takeover. He’s got elite potential
Dak gets all the credit while Romo gets all the criticism.

The guy seems like a bit of a flip flopper..Am I right? Still nice to hear from Cowboys royalty even though he was bashing his accuracy literally weeks ago.

Definitely kind of agree with the flip-flopper, but not necessarily for the same reasons you do. Troy has always voiced his support of Dak and wants him to do well, but his objectivity and harsh honesty from the booth sometimes rubs folks the wrong way.

To me, he's more of a flip-flopper in the sense that he was calling for an organizational overhaul as recently as two months ago, and now thinks this team is poised for a legitimate Super Bowl run.

Seems to me his opinion just evolves with new information. No harm. No foul.

I was questioning Dak at the beginning of the season. Get through the next round and I'm sold that he is poised to help this team win future Super Bowls.

Exactly. People overreact to Aikman pointing out the occasional bad pass Dak makes - which a lot of QBs make.

There was a wide open pass to Jarwin that Dak missed badly and Aikman pointed it out. He should have, it was terrible. But it was the exception and not the rule - and its something that a lot of QBs do to some degree and that Dak can eliminate in time with the normal development that comes with experience.
dak is decent in dump offs, dink and dunks and short passes. anything challenged or down field he is average. he also doesn't throw to the right spot many times although WRs make the catch, which is either one of two things, he doesn't know where to throw it or he is not accurate.

Troy is absolutely right about accuracy. You either have it or you don't. Dak doesn't have it and that's just the fact. The INT was PI the other night, there is no question in my mind about that. However, it was also a bad throw and there is also no question about that. It's the easiest throw in the world and he just missed it but Dak does that. He misses easy throws a lot and I really can't say that I understand why. I mean, I've seen him make harder throws and be on the money with them and every week, I see him miss an easy throw.

That's who he is right now and you can like it or no but it's the truth.

Also during the game, when Aikman said, "great adjustment by cooper" that was a badly thrown ball by Dak that cooper had to make an Adjustment on. It's hearing things like that, that make one worry, even after we win the game and worry about the next opponent. It is all about perspective of the fan, in some cases. :) I mean many people probably forget or never even notices the troubling aspects of a game when we win, while other people worry about how will that effect us if it keeps happening and we face a better opponent.

love #8.
He's honest and gives an honest opinion.
critiques and heaps praise....people should have 0 problem with it.
both can be true.
just because he thinks Dak struggles doesnt mean he doesn't think he can win.
He's voicing what all of us have....the good and the bad.

I think Cooper was all the overhaul we needed.

Those convinced Prescott is the elite answer need to pump the brakes, he's got work to do. It's encouraging that he brings his "A" game in the biggest settings. He's had two very good postseason games so far and is part of two division titles.

Those claiming he's a liability and can't let go of the past are essentially broken. It's ok to cheer, give credit where it's do and be critical all at the same time.

Post season has given him a blank slate. All that maters now is winning, not so much the direction of the team in the future, after the playoffs.

I hope we do. keep him for a long time. he is a very good quarterback.
But if signing times comes. asks Sal Prescott if the Cowboys don't sign, who will sign You?
You've seen the negativity around him.
in my opinion he is very good. but he should get paid 15 to 20 millions.
Dak needs a lot of things to go right round him.
he is a contributer . he makes mistakes and he make plays
I immediately like this guy.
Post more bud!
