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

[MountaineerCowboy]

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

And he became the highest paid player ever.

He has had a charmed career that he was never good enough to deserve.

 

[DandyDon52]

Its too late now lol jerry done gave him another contract !
get back to me in 4 years!

It was also stupid to pay lamb at this point, with team falling apart, and they will pay parsons too much also, and he doesnt even
play hard anymore.

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

This is very low......I saw a can of #$#$# pulled out on our team and this is what you come up with? The punter never punted. I see why SAS is always laughing. At least put Goff in a Detroit uniform.

 

[Cmac]

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.

Can't he get enough time like our previous starting QB?

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

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?

yeaj we dumb Canadians can't figure that out...

 

[morat1959]

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.

Give it up. Dak sucks!

 

[slick325]

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.

I am not a big Prescott guy. But, the rationale and reasoning for Herd's comment is weak at best. He wants to run with a narrative that I may agree with...however, he based it on Fangio's comment. How many DCs or OCs or HCs want to provide bulletin board material? Most are generic. So is Fangio. This was a nothing burger that Cowherd wanted to make a subject.

Stop buying the nonsense. It is possible that Dak could be terrible this season and still not be living off of an obsolete reputation.

 

[Creeper]

Give it up. Dak sucks!

This is the kind of well thought out, factual rebuttal to the fact Dak was 2nd in MVP voting last year that I did not expect. But Dak was 2nd in MVP voting last season. For the record, I did not get a vote, others did.

he is what we call a "farrt"...he goes where the wind blows that day and a lot of people on this board have been down wind.
he has also praised Dak, just last year.
that's why he is a 2nd rate sportscaster

 

[Vtwin]

Been saying this since 2017.

Don't matter how good you are in some areas, if there are fatal flaws that will never be overcome in others.

 

[kskboys]

yeaj we dumb Canadians can't figure that out...

OK, sounds good!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Typhus]

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

No, it doesn't, not even close.

I would like to be a Canadian

 

[foofighters]

This is dumb. What's Cowturd really saying? Nothing. Every QB is obsolete. This is just one more example of the media trying to remain relevant while saying nothing.

 

[kskboys]

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

Goff played in a super bowl w/ the Rams. He threw for over 4,600 yds twice. Made the pro bowl twice.

Not saying he was great, but not seeing how he was worse than Prescott.

Tale as old as Jerry Jones. Classic Jerr fell in love with his own cleverness.

He should split that check with Zeke.

MVP voting changed in 2022, when prior 50 sportswriters had to cast only 1 vote on who was MVP. Now they choose a total of 5 players to tally votes for. They do this probably just so Vegas can have more things to gamble on.

Dak got ZERO first place votes, 49 went to Lamar and 1 went to Josh Allen. Jackson was only 1 vote shy of UNANIMOUS MVP.

Dak wasn’t a “runner up”, nor was anybody else. It wasn’t even close. There is nothing more statistically meaningless than this runner up “title”, other than the majority of Dak’s garbage yardage.
