Like traditional passer rating does, ESPN's stat punishes him for those first three games of the season, when his average weekly ranking was 24th.

Since then, it's 16th.

Yeah they unfairly "punish" Prescott by including the entire season in a rating for the entire season.

It's a good thing you're here to correct it.

Get that rep in dawg. I’ll see you at the gym in a few. Now look...Dak and Bortles are about the same level except Bortles throws better. Now if Dak understands his limitations, and takes to coaching from someone like Romo then he definately can improve but he’s has to honestly want to improve

Do you not realize that you're posting a tweet about his dead mother? Are you that dense?

who cares really, what does that mean? im looking at the names below him and they were all 1st round draft picks or close to it so I guess it means its not all that bad our 4th rounder going to the playoffs for the 2nd time in 3 years cant be all that bad..hes average he plays mostly like a 4th rounder, not big deal, there are 1st rounders playing like 4th rounders all over that list

While I know it isn't true, I sometimes feel deeply in the minority for appreciating what both Romo and Prescott brought or bring to the table. I do not think QB has been the Cowboys' major problem for quite a long time.

Prescott is a different player than many current QBs -- something of a throwback. He can drive one crazy with missed throws and unnecessary sacks. He also can lead almost flawlessly a scoring drive to win a ballgame. Clearly he is an exceptional leader, and this shouldn't be overlooked. He also will risk injury to make a play when it is needed most. He also is willing to operate in a framework in which he isn't the focal point (a trait he has in common with Aikman).

Prescott isn't likely to become the deadly gunslinger Romo could be at times. But Prescott is his own man. he does find ways to win, which is the point of the game. Prescott will never be the transcendent athlete and passer Staubach was, but he reminds me in some ways of Roger (who is one of only two Cowboys I tend to idolize, the other being Lilly -- ah to have the innocence and view of a child). Go back and look at detailed stats from many of Staubach's games. He worked within the framework of Landry's offense and often spent much of the game handing the ball off or moving it with short passes to the Preston Pearsons of the world.

But Staubach could sling it with anyone when he was called upon to do so. Prescott isn't that guy. But few are. Consider Staubach's military obligation, and he ought to be in the conversation as being a top all-time QB -- perhaps the all-time QB. Prescott does have that ability to perform in stressful circumstances and to give his team a chance to win.

There is a case to be made that Romo's body gave out at exactly the wrong time. I think he had reached the Holy Grail and was capable at that point in his career to play with any QB and indeed to win a Super Bowl. Unfortunately his body betrayed him. He shared that misfortune with Don Meredith.

Prescott's game isn't pretty, by comparison. Maybe it will take on more shine as he gains further experience. But Prescott knows how to win and will sacrifice to win. And he makes some great throws that seem somehow to become lost in many of these conversations. I look forward to watching him win many more games, while at the same time acknowledging that pro sports is competitive and that every team, at every position, should be open to improvement where and when it is possible. Morton replaced Meredith and was replaced by Staubach. Morton was a fine QB. He wasn't Staubach.

Maybe the next Staubach will replace Prescott. In the meantime, I'm happy the Cowboys have a QB who has proven to be a winner.

Once you start placing footnotes on everything, the numbers no longer matter. What QB has the best W/L record after a haircut? I dunno, but I also don't care.

Yeah they unfairly "punish" Prescott by including the entire season in a rating for the entire season.

And by “punish” you mean simply include the data in the calculation as they should.

I didn't say ESPN was punishing him, I said the stat punishes him for those first 3 games, as it should. Dak sucked over the first three games. ESPN's just showing you the full season rating, as they should in a list labeled "season."

ESPN's stat also shows that he's 16th in the last 12 games, as it should. Traditional passer rating shows that he's 11th, as it should. That's how Dak has performed relative to the rest of the league over the last 12 games.

Most people who look at those first three games would conclude that they didn't end up telling us a whole lot about the next 12. Maybe you guys see something there that does, and would like to share.

I wouldn’t go that far. That’s kinda harsh

 

[LocimusPrime]

You did it all day yesterday as well. You spent Christmas arguing with yourself on the internet about a man. Not sure how you got there but I'd be looking for an exit

Naw bro...I spent 2 hours posting stuff before going out last night. Ain’t nada to me. I got all the time in the world every day

Using a tweet from a Eagles fan whose team got swept by Dak and who gave up 455 yards and 3 TDs to Dak in the 4th quarter/OT. And whose team wouldn't have been swept by the Cowboys if Foles had played in both games instead of Wince.

But, only the stats from ESPN that fits into their agenda must count. I bet that once Dak's starts to get closer to the top 15 range, then all of a sudden it won't count to some any longer.
