LOL...nobody blamed Romo. Good one Star! :laugh:
Has nothing to do with blame. You said Dak gets defended incessantly without any fault which is an exaggeration I said so did Romo which also is an exaggeration both get blamed , both get excused , both failed they are literally cut from same cloth

But it’s not all on them I blame Jerry

What links do I need to post to prove the Chiefs leading rusher in the SB was a 7th round pick, Juju was his top WR, and 2022 team defense stats? You obviously know how to use a search engine, when you want to, so stop this charade.

I don't do Dak "rants" - I just live in reality. You haven't disproven anything. You've found ways to tap dance around his annual season-ending flop because it gives you hope that next year will be the year. That works for you, so enjoy it, but it doesn't work for me.

I'll believe Dak is all that when he proves it in the playoffs. I don't care if he lights up the Giants again in October. This franchise is about winning titles, at least it used to be.
lol, a fan doesn't by job requirement have to ignore short comings. Team directions are involved with momentum and focus. Dishonesty is never a tool, especially when a fan. That said, one can still take pride for deep set work and sacrifices...that we can always root for and not hold back genuine appreciations.

They are OUR team and were chosen by ourselves.

All fans cherish winning at the top levels...and why fans root for their team.

Football is as eratic as the shape of the ball itself. There are good and bad plays in each and every game. Much of the game relies upon a team's ability to overcome adversity, but that is football. Unless there is complete dominance by a team in a single game, hey, the game is on!

what % of the salary cap does brock purdy take up

dak is like 20%
contentious stop talking about the salary cap and percentages Prescott say seasoned veteran who earned his deal and it brought pretty plays the way he continues to play he will make that kind of money as well he hasn't had that chance yet by the way Prescott one rookie of the year as a quarterback he won 13 games you wanna leave it in a row he actually played the entire season healthy and he had a great playoff game so I'm not sure your point Prescott is every bit as good as Brock Purdy he started his career the same way if not better I mean at least he's stood up right we lost that playoff game Prescott did not go to the NFC championship game his rookie year because of the defense that's a fact the offense held up their end.. And by the way they got lucky with Brock Purdy they just picked him as and afterthought you know with the 49ers great coaching and ownership and GM gave three first round picks for Trey Lance and they kept Jimmy garoppolo around a long time so let's not be drooling over the fact that they happen to stumble upon Brock Purdy which by the way haven't proven a damn thing yet show me what he's done that Prescott hasn't done he just landed on a better team and couldn't stay healthy they didn't close the deal. Brock Purdy has a lot to prove and there's a lot of pressure on him right now because he's being talked about as if he's done something in in this game and our fans forget that dak Prescott was rookie of the year won13 games and he had a great playoff game.

So let's stop forgetting that we're Cowboys fans and we should be fans of Prescott who's who did the very thing that Purdy did as a rookie and at least Prescott held up his end and didn't get hurt and just was let down by his defense.

Yeah they blamed Patrick Crayon, K-Balls and Cabo Leadership :laugh:

Dak Haters where conceived during Romo Hostage press conference :laugh::lmao2::lmao:
you know some of us on here equally liked Tony Romo and Prescott although I would take Romo over Prescott in a close decision but those were not excuses the same things I say about Prescott that it's a team game and he's been let down by his team as much as Tony Romo was and both are being underappreciated and hated on you don't have to pick a side you know they both played for the Cowboys Tony Romo in my opinion one of the best players that ever put on the Cowboys uniform. And like Prescott neither has the coaching or the team around them that Roger and Troy had that's a fact. Those things said about Romo or totally true who cares about Cabo Jason Witten was there by the way it wasn't he the team leader I mean one of the best Cowboys of all time there were more people on that trip than just Tony but Patrick Creighton didn't go on the trip and he played worse. And I don't blame Romo for the slippery cabal I blame bill Parcells the guy just Lee just teamed down and got screwed by the refs yes that was a first down by Jason Witten and then ran him out there with hot sweaty and had him as a holder which I never understood how your starting quarterback was the holder in the first place. So again Prescott's going through the exact thing that Tony went through and it is what it is but everyone here trying to draw a line and pick a side is ridiculous...

I know some people tend to not buy into the "it" factor as it's more nebulous and hard to quantify. The question is does Prescott or Cousins have "it".

Talent wise, production wise, when you see some of the QBs that have won SBs, absolutely Prescott and Cousins "could" win one. Yes, they would need a pretty balanced team around them but IMO Dallas has that now - strong defense, enough weapons on offense (although I'd like another vet TB) and a good OL (granted if it stays healthy).

But do either have "it". Cousins strikes me as a guy who doesn't. He just comes up small in big spots constantly. Dak? He's had some big games in important regular season games and his performance in the TB playoff game was great. But he also just seems to come up small at other times.

I'd bank on Dak winning one before Cousins IMO.

Overcoming this very fact SHOULD be a real motivation for 'fans:'

In USA Today's Mike Freeman's newest NFL fan base rankings are any indication, that reputation has shown no signs of improvement.

The Cowboys placed all the way in Tier 10.

Good point…I think that’s the difference both. I think Dak has shown at times he has “it”. He showed it against the Buccs and Eagles last year. But then it doesn’t show up against the 49ers…it’s at least questionable. I know Cousins doesn’t have it. Never has shown it. Not even a semblance of it.

I put both of their chances at virtually zero. IF you could keep either of them completely comfortable during a playoff run, about the only way I could see it happening.

Cousins play to end their playoff game last year was a shockingly bad decision.

Just don't have any evidence from these two vets that they can come up big when needed most.

Nooooo, no evidence contrary.....nooooooo.

How about a reduced production by the Minnesota defense affecting momentums?

There are failures in every single game played...overcoming adversity is the adjustable element required.

Great points here. And I feel much the same.

For me, Dak is at a crossroads. That’s why I’m glad the team hasn’t rushed into another huge money contract extension. After last season, I think he has something to prove. And to earn that next contract.

But I will also give credit where credit is due. Prescott has put together some excellent seasons in the past, and played well enough to win a Championship. Other factors prevented it in the past, not the quarterback.

Prescott outplayed Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs in 2016. He definitely wasn’t the reason why Dallas list that game.

And he’s had a better overall career than both Goff and Wentz, his two contemporaries whose teams have gotten to the Super Bowl.

Does he need to bounce back? Yes, undeniably.

And I think that barring injury, there are no excuses for not at least getting to the Championship Game this year.

But we’ll have to see how things play out this year.

I'm counting on leadership at all levels and overcoming adversities.

Know what football is then?
What would a "reduced production by the Minnesota defense affecting momentums" have to do with throwing a 4th down pass to a TE well short of the first down to end the season?

Don't figure out much for yourself...there are negative plays and momentum changers each and every game. Overcoming adversity is the point, not blaming Dak.
