As a well-known Dak hater, I have to admit something I was wrong about

[Rockport]

The Lion's secondary is putrid. That's typical for them. Good against the run, but abysmal against the pass.

Always making excuses.

So we won 11 games on daks arm given no running game? Because I don’t believe we beat teams that are bad against the run.. with the run. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong

 

[Rockport]

Absolutely nothing that he has to say in regards to Dak can be taken seriously . Yes he can pull up a stat or 3 to help his argument but of all Dak haters his bromance with our previous QB still stings

He does not want to give any accolades that I’ve seen because of it

Mountaineer is the biggest troll but Khalidi will never see any positives with our current QB he just isn’t a troll about it

Dak is what he is a top 10 qb who can get it done. Our over rated line makes it hard on him and with crap running game he and my favorite cowboy CeeDee has to get it done

It’s not a recipe for a SB but you never know what happens game in and game out so anything’s possible

I enjoy the ride and I appreciate the thread from Willie B

Dak’s #1 in the NFL in td’s and top 5 in many others.

Dak has turned it around from the piss poor performance of last year. Let's hope it continues, since we can't run the ball Dak will have to play hero ball.

 

[ak47kaehu]

OMG, that was beyond horrible last night. Even if the throw was catchable, it was a very bad decision to make that throw in the first place.

This my #1 gripe with Dak right now! He needs to make smarter decisions when it comes to closing out games.

 

[bigE79]

I never thought Dak had the ability to beat good teams off the strength of his arm. He has now done it in 3 consecutive home games against playoff teams with absolutely no running game.

One can argue that they all were bad defenses but those teams are coming into the game knowing we have no threat of a run game and he is still feasting in the passing game

Only thing that matters to me is how he plays in the playoffs and until he wins more than a wildcard game,a regular season stats QB is all he is to me but I'm definitely pulling for him to prove me wrong and I pray that he does.

But nobody looks at our run game or run defense. If we lose, it’s on Dak! He makes $40M!! He has to win games!! Says Mahomes and Josh Allen who are 10-6….

Too late for you. You jumped ship months ago. No begging to get back on.

Dallas has run the ball well in several games. Just not against good defenses.

We waited 8 years for him to accomplish this.
8 years.............hmmmmm
Look on the bright side as we are home for the playoffs facing a couple of Dogs (our specialty) then worst case scenario we have to go the SF and please tell me I won't be hearing another "We will do better speeches" after the game?
P.S. The refs have been saving us all year long........heck even CD looks around after every non-completion for the P/I call.
Enjoy the ride as the NFC has never been weaker and our luck stronger.........Cowboys!!!!

A first down right there ends the game. No reason to be a Glory Boy.

Appreciate your ability to see the positive when it's there.
Sometimes we get locked into positions and can't be objective.
Well done!

He's absolutely playing better this year with only a couple of complete mental shutdowns. Just gotta hope to avoid those in the playoffs since the running game isn't going to help.

Bingo. Most teams get to play one dimensional against us. Same thing that makes our defense amazing when playing with a lead.

 

[Chasing6]

If we go far in Playoffs, give Dak and CeeDee a lot of credit. No run game, Cooks and Fergy can make big plays, but it’s sporadic. And of course, our lineman are falling down like London bricks with the latest being our best young lineman. All those MVP arguments and I have to say for once I think Dak and CeeDee should now start being considered. I am shocked that neither one has gotten hurt yet. CD is not only catching just about every play but also running the ball like a running back. Dak is running for his life, half the time, trying to run for first downs constantly. I’m sure they’ll both have their haters but much respect.

I think we will need to use CD like Deebo in the running game. Give CD 5 rushing attempts per game. Save it for the playoffs.

Hat off to Willie......but I guess some missed his last drive against the Lions where he was 5 for 5, dropping several dimes. I said this before and will say it again, something happened with him after the 49ers loss. No idea what, we all know he took a brutal beating from fans, media, and even some of his strongest supporters. It would not surprise me if even some of his current or former teammates had hard conversations with him. A couple of major issues have stood out to me since that game....

*** He's cleaned up some sloppy mechanics which has led to way better accuracy and confidence.
*** The biggy is he's taken more ownership/leadership of the offense. It;'s not hard to see he is now everything he can help his OLine and/or WRs with his legs/feet.
*** This is NOT the same Dak Prescott that started the season and I mean that in a good way. I know it's odd to say this about an 8-year vet on a 2nd contract but I truly believe somehow, his light has come on since the 49ers game. Maybe it's a 2nd light, I don't know but what I do know is he's taken his game to an elite level. In other words, I'm starting to get the same confidence in him I had when Romo ( final 3/4 years) or Aikman. Nothing can stop him if everyone is doing their job.


The beauty of this offense now ...........you can see/feel the same chemistry with him and Ceedee that Staubach/Pearson, Aikman/Irving, and Romo/Dez had.

All of those things are easier to do at home. Much more difficult to do on the road. Making calls, adjustments, audibles on the road - verbal communication becomes much more difficult with the opposing crowd.

Dak didn’t change, the offense did. Garrett and Moore’s offense sucked. Dak was the only reason they won as many games as they did.

 

[lopey]

Dak been great most of the year. We might get screwed because our run game is poor. Cant just throw every down and expect to go far in playoffs
