Can 9 year veteran Dak Prescott lead today's Dallas Cowboys to a Super Bowl?

[Starforever]

Of course, the real question is, will he?

I never mentioned Tony Romo. What does he have to do with the issue and discussion of this particular thread?

I do agree about Jerry Jones.

Since Jerry's micromanagement strategies have produced zero deep playoff runs, all due to gross mismanagement by one man, I think it's important to mention that Jerry is the reason no QB can win here. I mentioned Romo and Bledsoe (who actually played in a Super Bowl) because both were great QBs, capable of making deep playoff runs but were unable to win any meaningful playoff games here because of Jerry's mismanagement and nepotism in the organization. Dak and Romo also have identical playoff records, near identical stats, and both have come close to getting us to the NFC Championship game, but again this organization has a lunatic making all the football decisions.

I know everyone likes to blame Dak and sometimes it IS his fault, but Dak didn't construct the rosters, didn't choose to not be active in free agency, didn't choose to have a head coach with no authority over football matters, didn't choose this defense, and didn't choose to have a businessman with zero NFL GM skills make all the football decisions.

I'm not saying you're blaming Dak for us remaining a playoff irrelevant team, but Jerry and his Jones playbook of football management are exclusively the root cause of our dubious 30 year conference championship drought. Dak is just the latest scape goat to take the blame for Jerry's pitiful football management skills. If Jerry's gonna make all the decisions (and he does), then Jerry's can take all the blame.

Jerry is the only constant the past 30 years so he supersedes any head coach, QB, roster, etc. I will say one thing with absolute certainty. Jerry is incapable of building a championship roster on both sides of the ball with 30+ years to experiment with different strategies. Instead, Jerry has insisted on doubling down on all the things he does that create distractions and obstacles to winning. Dak and Romo's goal was to win a championship. Jerry's goals are two-fold. First and foremost, Jerry must be the face of the franchise, constantly doing interviews and radio/TV interviews. Second, he wants to play with his toy train to the determent of actually winning meaningful playoff games.

No.
But if they can win the games with everyone else, he will be glad to come along and take the credit.
The Cowboys would have to win in spite of Dak, not because of him.
They would have to dominate every facet of the game, and then he would play well once the other team is reeling. That's his method of operating.
Dak doesn't lead; he follows. If the Cowboys are beating up on a team, he joins in. But if he has to be the reason they win, he can't.

I have to somewhat disagree with you, but not totally. Because I see panic mode in Dak. That's the only thing that worries me. But based on his raw talent, he's not given the talent around him to succeed. You need a top end elite QB to win anything solely building through the draft.

Patrick was playing the #1 defense, and his team was the weakest KC team to make it to a SB.
Buffalo should have been there but somehow KC won.

If Mahomes had been drafted by cowboys, he might not have had the same success he has had
in KC, but would have done way better than dak, won some div game go to champ games, and go to at least 1 SB, where it would depend on who they were playing, if they win or not.

That is one thing people dont get, who you have to play in SB makes a huge difference in the
outcome.
Some teams get a easy win in SB due to weak opponent, or a good team gets beat by a great team
that just happens to be playing great at that point.
So if a team is lucky, they get a equal or lesser opponent, and then there are refs and things like turnovers.

Having patrick would have been totally different from what we got with dak.
Those 3 12-5 teams , one might have made it to SB, instead of the one and done.

And if your going to give dallas mahomes, how about andy as HC too ! Then even more SB action.

Prescott is every bit as good as Mahomes when he first came into the league. He just didn’t have the tools behind him. The team Mahomes was so overrated blessed because of what he had in Kansas City

If Dak can win 3 SB titles in the next 5 years, I will give him the benefit of the doubt if he has a bad game in the 4th SB. Until then, mentioning Dak in the same sentence as Patrick M should be a ban to the NFL, like never able to watch another game of football for the rest of their life since they know nothing about it. Dak is not fit to tie his shoe or lick the dirt off the bottom of them.

And why in the world would someone bring up a player that retired like a decade ago. Maybe someone didn't like the way Roger ended his career and hates Dak too because of it. Silly statement. How people feel about Dak has nothing to do with anything but Dak, some people like the stats and thinks he walks on water and others think he folds likea cheap lawnchair when things get tough... either way, it has nothing to do with any player, current or past but Dak.

Three Super Bowls and you might give him the benefit of the doubt LMAO just shows to go you’re true NFL knowledge. Patrick Mahomes overrated like unbelievable.
