Colin Cowherd says Dak Prescott is simply living off an obsolete reputation at this point:

[BoysForLife]

Please stop parroting this. He got one singular vote. It's not like he was actually in contention.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Dak is actually living off a gauranteed 240M contract. He doesn't need a reputation anymore. All he has to do is show up.

 

[DillusionalFans]

Actually what Cowherd said was that Dak was living off of Jerry Jones’ affinity for Dak” — this is a true statement and is yet another example of Jerry extending players who should not have been extended. The more people protest, the more Jerry doubles down because he is the smartest guy in the room (just ask him or his Dumb & Dumber sons).

 

[Creeper]

Did anyone remind Cowherd that Dak was second in MVP voting last year? He had a pretty damn good season. If he is living off his reputation it is a reputation he earned just last season.

 

[Whirlwin]

You dare to compare Goff to Dak?
Have you seen Goff play?
There is 0 comparison in the arm and mental category talent including pocket awr.
Heck Goff doesn't even break a sweat............OMG have you see our guy?
Lets compare............

Goff

Dak

Dak in the playoffs

Yeah, let’s compare the Texas heat to Detroit. Lol.

 

[Whirlwin]

Jared Goff was worse than Prescott, on his first team. Which means team is everything

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Kind of sounds like he is talking about Arron Rodgers. Dak was second in MVP voting just last season which means his reputation in not obsolete. He definitely got off to a bad start this season and is now injured but 8 games isn't living. I'd give him a little more time before I lay this on him.

Dak has had 8 years. Is that time not sufficient?
Take his 2 career playoff wins and watch them to further convince you Dak is just having a rough stretch this season.

 

[Whirlwin]

Watch Goff and Prescott when they both have time to throw. Goff is FAR more precise with his ball placement. Dak's completions are often horrible throws. There's no comparison between these 2, and it's obvious why Goff went #1 overall while Dak fell into the 4th round. Dak had mobility when younger, but now he has nothing.

And that’s why Jared Goff is not with the team that drafted him. He’s so blessed to have a great coach like Campbell.

The bottom line is the only two players in the NFL to get any MVP votes at all last year were Lamar and Dak. Yes, Jackson blew Dak out of the water, but no other player was even in the conversation.

Just so you both know, there's a rank-choice type style of voting on NFL MVP. Dak did NOT receive the other first place vote besides Jackson. Josh Allen did. Dak got enough 2nd and 3rd place votes, etc. to place 2nd in the standings.

(Voting is on a 10-5-3-2-1 basis)
Lamar Jackson ........ 49-0-1-0-0=493
Dak Prescott ............. 0-17-13-11-6=152
Christian McCaffrey .. 0-17-12-11-4=147
Brock Purdy .............. 0-9-5-12-13=97
Josh Allen ................. 1-5-11-3-6=80
Tyreek Hill ................. 0-2-6-9-14=60
Patrick Mahomes ...... 0-0-2-2-2=12
Matthew Stafford ....... 0-0-0-2-0=4
C.J. Stroud ................ 0-0-0-0-4=4
Myles Garrett ............. 0-0-0-0-1=1

That makes it even worse.

 

[DillusionalFans]

Good stuff.

I like Purdy, but he's being shackled and hurt by being in that horrid QB destroying Kyle Shanahan O. Long developing routes getting him killed. Same thing happening in Houston w/ Stroud. Houston's OC, Slowiak, is a KShanahan disciple, and he's getting Stroud killed w/ that HS Offense. Stroud got sacked like 8 times in his last game vs Jets.

“Shackled” by Shanahan ?? That’s an absurd statement and you are likely envious because Dak sucks.

 

[DillusionalFans]

Wasn't Cowherd singing Prescott's praises for the last 3 quarters of the 2023 season as he played at a MVP level and finished 2nd in MVP voting? Is he sure he isn't referring to Aaron Rodgers living off an obsolete reputation? That would make more sense to me.

Prescott has been pretty bad this season and has seemed off even in the Cleveland win. But, he is not even a full year removed from playing the best ball.of his career in 2023. So not sure how obsolete his reputation is around the League.

I'm not the biggest Prescott guy in the fandom and I definitely know he has limitations as a QB. If Cowherd is referring to him as a player with warts that have existed throughout his career, then, OK. If he is saying Prescott looks like crap in 2024, OK. But, his reputation can't be obsolete if he played at his best ever just last season.

If you look at Dak’s wins vs winning teams (including playoffs) AND remove his “garbage” stats, that tells the real story — he is at best a B- QB who can NOT carry a team.

Very true. Dak has not got it done it 8 years. That is his reputation, no? So then what is he living off now--a reputation of not getting it done?

However, if one wants to say he is living off his reputation as Cowherd does, then one would have to say that reputation is of a good QB otherwise there is not much to live off. He was good last year even if one assigns the full blame of the GB loss to him so I am saying it should take more than 8 games of poor play this year to say he's just living off his reputation.

Aaron Rodgers, on the other hand, is living off his reputation.

 

[stinkface]

I wouldn't let Cowturd park my used car. How he has anything besides a podcast is beyond me.

 

[kskboys]

I understand you don't like Dak. As of the end of last year some people around the NFL thought Dak was pretty good. I don't hear too many of them saying that this year so I'm not sure what living he is making off his reputation. If you want to make a distinction between sportswriters and the real NFL that's fine. Cowherd would be barely in the sportswriter group and I would put him below as he gets his information from sportswriters and spits out seemingly unfounded opinions. He is certainly not part of the real NFL.

Like Dak? I neither like nor dislike him.

Before the season, he was rated 11th, from what I saw. Prolly about where he fits.

 

[kskboys]

being American, you do not understand rethorical comments

Have no idea what you're trying to say.

Sports shows talk about the Cowboys for ratings. Cowherd included. What does that have to do w/ rhetorical comments?

Fair enough. I neither like Dak nor dislike him as well. I don’t think he is worth that contract, though.

In my opinion, he is a mid-tier QB as your ranking suggests also suggests. My point really was he doesn’t have much of a reputation to live off but if Cowherd is going to make that claim then he needs to give him a little time to rebound.

Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson are better examples of QBs living off their reputations.

 

[silver]

Cooper Rush is living off that 5-1 record/reputation. Let's circle back on monday to analyse his results with this year's team.

I think Cowherd was just spewing Cowboys crapp because his producer told him to because ratings were down or something like that.

 

[khiladi]

I don’t even know how Dak has a reputation that benefits him.

He’s a loser QB.

I’ve been saying it for years. This guy was declared elite somewhere along the line, while accomplishing absolutely nothing. The offense didn’t even run through him for years and they are having to dumb down the offense for him in year 8 and 9z
