Cowherd: "It's ridiculous to expect Dak to get over the hump, as it would be for Kirk Cousins."

[75boyz]

The Chiefs allowed the most TD passes in the NFL, and more points than the Cowboys. You've refuted neither of those things because you can't. Instead, you grasp for some link placing the Chiefs defense one spot ahead of the Cowboys, by whatever measure.

Well, you got me. Covers says the Chiefs were one spot better than the Cowboys on defense. Clearly, that explains why KC won another Super Bowl while Dak's 12 points Cowboys limped home after the divisional round, again.

Do you actually believe what you're posting, or are you desperately trying to "win" an internet argument - that ends the same way no matter how you spin it. The Chiefs won the Super Bowl, and Dak got outdueled by Mr. Irrelevant in the divisional round.

Another season, another set of excuses. When does it end?

Be careful Jake.
Your voice of reason with supporting factual data here is the absolute truth.
BUT unfortunately there's a mob here waiting to turn this into a situation where you're now branded hater or even worse from Prescott Incorporated...
the dreaded "troll" insult.

Welcome.
Lol.

It has always been about the cause of an interception for me:

• What did the quarterback see?
• How did the defender react?
• Was the intended receiver complicit?
• Was it a ricochet?

...etc. And I apply the rationale to all quarterbacks and not just to a particular few or one.

I always think about Terry Bradshaw's NFL career when an interception conversation or sub-discussion pops up. His INT stats are 210 picks. He threw 212 touchdowns. The man has four Super Bowl rings. It is still a team game.

In my opinion, it would be better if interception statistics were subjective. It is something I have thought about since my twenties. Automatically applying a pick to the quarterback as the cause every time does not always make sense. Proper application of blame should be the standard, not the exception and certainly not as an excuse--especially for talking sports heads.

My whole world of Dak criticism is based on your first question: "What did the QB see?

It's not "just" the decision to make the wrong throw to a blanketed receiver. It's countless missed running opportunities that are missed nearly every game as well.

You can draw your own conclusions if you don't watch film. But if you do actually watch film, it doesn't lie and this team will continue to lose playoff games because Dak Prescott is a poor decision maker in real time.

No amount of switching playcallers or attempting to assemble an '85 Bears defense can save him.

You always come with this crap Dak had no weapons! Then how the hell did the Cowboys win 12 games in two seasons? No weapons, is that it? Oh, but when he craps the bed, well, Dak had no weapons. I guess those 12 teams the Cowboys won is because they let them win. smfh

Everyone with a brain and a neutral state of mind saw how the Cowboys Offense had no weapons (other than CeeDee and a part-time RB in Pollard) last year in 2022. For the Cowboys to still win despite such shortcomings offensively speaks volumes about the offensive leaders. Your personal hatred of Dak is what blinds you.

 

[Captain-Crash]

hum, the offense had no weapons? so what was Moore supposed to do? Oh, get a job on a better team with a better Quarterback. LMAO scapegoating is over Moore enjoy your new scenery.

Troy Aikman was hardly the starting quarterback until an offense was designed to match up with HIS talents and strong points!

 

[Zekeats]

Hmmm...

Liked off title alone. this is an amazing comparison.

 

[GINeric]

I thought each were part of a team and thus all it really tells you was that it seems like the Cowboys were the better team on those days.. So, really it means nothing as relates to QB play alone. Conversation over.

Ohhhh.... so it's about the team when it's something showing Dak's rankings, but when losses happen it's the quarterback's fault.

Yall love moving them goal posts!!

 

[jaythecowboy]

Your best plan is to hope to get struck by lightning metaphorically? Why not just do what history has proven to be the best method and go on the constant hunt for an elite QB with either trades or high draft picks?

Trying to get an elite qb is basically just as difficult. Arguably even moreso.

I'm rooting for Dak, just like I have every other Cowboys QB since I was a little kid. I don't give a hoot about "winning" a useless online debate with strangers.

But I'm also tired of the excuses. Dak is either all that - he sure gets paid like he is - or he's not. Win something. That's all I'm asking. Lead the team to a title.

If he can't do it, fine, most can't. I'm just sick to death of the annual excuses. He's either that guy or he is not - most guys aren't. Just stop pretending he is....

Yeah, I can see it now. The other teams when getting ready for a game against the Cowboys, "Hey, guys, poor Dak has no weapons and he is such a nice guy let's let him win this game." Twelve teams did it and then eight other teams did it and gave the game away to the Cowboys, who had no weapons. Cooper Rush had to win his 4 on his own, without them imaginary weapons. lmao. Funny girls...

Funny kid...Cooper Rush didn't win anything. The Defense carried him.

 

[Cowboys5217]

You know what's ridiculous? The over the top obsession the media has with Prescott's picks.

The top 5 pick throwers in NFL history

1. Favre - SB winner
2. Blanda - Back to back AFL championship winner (pre merger and SB era)
3 Tarkenton - SB participant
4. P. Manning - SB winner
5. Marino - SB participant

Comparing Dak to these guys is misguided at best.

 

[CouchCoach]

KNOCK IT OFF.

 

[CowboyFrog]

Maybe someone already asked this but whats the "Hump"? Are we talking the Hump that 31 QB's couldnt get over last year or the one 28 QB's couldn't get over? Kinda puts the whole "Hump" thing in a diferent light.......

 

[McKDaddy]

Ohhhh.... so it's about the team when it's something showing Dak's rankings, but when losses happen it's the quarterback's fault.

Other way around. Realists understand it takes a team but can also understand why head to head records between QB's is meaningless when it comes to QB performance in those games.

And just so you remember, you were the one who started with the whole "conversation over" attituce so don't be whining about getting schooled publicly.

That's just the thing you didn't school anybody, you just showed the public you're one of the hypocrites who love goal post lifting. Try harder next time kid!!

How many games before fat Mike realizes he is coaching a lemon at qb?

 

[jay94]

I like Dak and I dont expect him to do it all by himself.

But he played like trash in the 49'rs game last year ........ he just cant do that and us have any chance of winning ......

You should be more mad at him for not saying anything on Amari's departure, Gallup will at best always be a no 3, last year he was a no 3 as in the 3rd worst separator in the league last year and Brown was the worst. For everything clamoring onto his leadership skills letting Cooper go cost them any chance against the niners. Him and Cousins are the same, if it weren't for the dual threat you could argue in favor of Cousins due to having a worse team. Also he never spoke up about having a back that should of been a backup 3 years ago. Leadership is pretty pointless if you have better talent on the team and you don't put them on the field due to personal convictions, if that's the case you should be a politician.
