1. Anyone could win with Dak Prescott's supporting cast. This is going overboard and nobody says this. What people do say is there are many other starters that could do as well or better. And that’s not a ridiculous statement.
2. Ezekiel Elliott carries Dak Prescott. I guess this is in regard to the bus driver talk, which in my mind means if the running game gets shut down the Cowboys can’t ride Dak’s arm to victory on a week in and week out basis. Again, that doesn’t seem to be a ridiculous statement.
3. Dak Prescott disappears in the clutch. This doesn’t seem like a common criticism. What I see more than anything is criticism that Dak struggles in the first 3 quarters, digs a hole, and then has to come back. It’s almost like he performs much better in the clutch than he does the early going.
4. Dak Prescott pads his stats in garbage time. That definitely happened in 2019.
5. Dak Prescott isn't an elite passer. Well, I don’t think that’s a ridiculous statement.
6. Dak Prescott hasn't won a Super Bowl/isn't the best QB in the league so he can't be the highest paid. There’s a difference between can’t be and shouldn’t be.
7. Dak Prescott is to blame for his receivers' drops. His receivers let him down for sure. But I did see some drops where I thought it was a tough ball to catch but that happens.
8. Dak Prescott doesn't beat good teams/win big games. Until 2019 this wasn’t true. Last year I felt like there were big games against playoff caliber teams where he didn’t play well.
9. "My eyes tell me" He does have issues with fundamentals. Fundamentals aren’t everything and you can be a great QB without being perfect in that regard but those are definitely visible to those that know football.
Overall I think it’s a case of someone making over the top straw man arguments instead of really wanting to debate the points about Dak. There are certainly people who are over the top in their criticism of Dak and those over the top with their praise. The truth is in the middle and it isn’t a slam dunk that we know for sure just what Dak is and will be.
