Cowherd: Timber coming for Dak and Dallas

[xwalker]

Colin Cowherd had this to say:

"Dallas is gonna lose this weekend," he said. "And the next month is going to get increasingly difficult for Dak Prescott. They play better teams, and they play teams that will force him to play from behind.

I feel a timber coming for Dak Prescott. Solid play, but better teams. And all those teams we thought were average -- Minnesota, Baltimore, Philadelphia -- they're all on the schedule and they're all the surprise teams in the league. Dallas' schedule is now brutal for two months."

Have you ever heard the lady from Alanama that called his show and trashed him, repeatedly calling him Cowturd? It's really funny.

Don't you guys get tired of attacking media like they're villains? Does it ever feel childish to any of you?

You attack Dak Prescott any opportunity you get. Whats the difference?

 

[DFWJC]

The only home game SF had this year they beat the Rams in a blowout. The Rams haven't lost since then.

I can see this one going either way.
Don't care about the margin of victory, just win baby.

Nope. Especially guys like Cowherd, Bayliss and Steven A.

Idiot just trying to get a rise out of people. Didn't work here.

There is a group of Dak non-supporters and he is just playing to them. Somebody needs to throw them a bone, poor folks.

are there seriously a group of "Dak non-supporters" on this board?

not claiming to read every post ever made on here, but I just don't see that

so either I'm missing this, and these people actually exist, and don't deserve to be Cowboys fans, or this is the dumbest **** stirring BS I've ever seen

 

[TellerMorrow34]

Ehhh....

I think we beat the 49ers. I believe we can.

But I do feel like the Cincy and Greenbay games are going to be tough wins because I feel like we're going to have to win shoot outs, or that we really will be playing from behind a lot in those games. I don't think he's off about either of those games.

I don't agree with him on the 49ers though.

 

[Jinxx13x]

For cowturd to say Minnesota is average he lost all credibility !

Uhh their head coach knows our team inside out, they have a difficult defense to prepare for and they are desperate to win.

You are a worry wart. They're starting Blaine Gabbert and lost all their stars to suspensions and retirement. Outside of Hyde their skill position players are not skilled. Their OL has Staley and a bunch of replacement level guys. Davis and Iupati are gone. We know his gimmick offense too.

On defense Buckner has been poor and cannot crack the starting lineup. The other guys are again replacement level. Willis, Smith, Smith, McDonald, Whitner, and Rogers are all gone and not adequately replaced.

Cowherd is a turd.

 

[cowboys1985]

Cowherd is a turd.

However, I don't completely disagree with him. Dak has gone beyond expectations but he's played well against low quality defenses except the Giants. He should be fine against SF (although it will be a test on the road). But after that he will be really tested against top line defenses and/or trying to keep pace with top line offenses. So it's natural for him to struggle and I expect that. Having said that, any struggles against these upcoming games wouldn't change my opinion of Dak at all.

 

[Cowboysfan917]

His job is to overreact and make predictions.

We do all have to realize that Dak has only thrown 1 TD against a bad defense that was missing several starters. I know there's a lot of people ready to put Dak in Canton but we really don't know what we have in Dak yet. Look at Kap when he took Alex Smith's job... He looked elite until he got figured out and the team talent went away. Remember Jaws saying he could be the best ever?

We have to realize that Dak has an elite offense around him and has played great for a rookie but let's be honest, 2014 Romo running this offense has probably tossed 5-10 TD's already.

I'm glad we have Dak and I like Dak. I'm happy he's played well but he is due for a rough game and he has thrown some would be picks erased by drops or penalties. He's also thrown som high balls that have been tipped.

I don't disagree with anything you said -- particularly the comparison piece about Kaepernick. In my opinion, all we currently know about Dak is that he's worth moving forward with. He's shown me enough that he's the guy who tries to take Romo's job.

What does that ultimately mean? Who knows. He could be a phenom this year, terrible next year, OK the year after, etc. We just don't know. But I definitely like what I've seen.

My only minor nitpick would be the TD thing. Yes, Dak has 1 TD, but his passes have gotten us to around the 1-4 yard line on numerous situations this year. With Romo, we are much more aggressive at trying to throw into the end zone from those distances, be it the original play call or his audible. With Dak we have been perfectly fine hammering it in on the ground. So I'm not ready to knock him on that detail just yet.

If we were running the read option and weren't asking him to play primarily out of the pocket like we did against the Bears then I would believe the comparison. Fangio is very good at disguise and blitzed a fair bit. He only got hit a time or two and came nowhere near throwing it up for grabs.

At this point I think what Dak can run is limited from week to week particularly from that standpoint of presnap adjustments but OTOH his legs can get first downs that Romo has to throwaway or buy time now that he cannot run around anymore. Were currently 3rd in points per drive which is outstanding. I want to see if Romo can take it to another level but I'm ambivalent about whether he can. At some point he will be a progress stopper.

Thanks.

His version of a non supporter is someone that says Romo will be the starter when he returns.

 

[LandryFan]

If San Fran wins, I wonder if they are going to get the benefit of the doubt of beating an 'injured cowboys team' with no Demarcus Lawrence, Randy Gregory, Charles Tapper, Orlando Scandrick, Dez Bryant, Tyron Smith, and no Lael Collins.

Have these guys been ruled out already? I have seen nothing on that.

 

[Hoov]

The only timber coming this sunday will be that of everything falling around Chip as he loses his 3rd game in a row.

It is called "convenience," a quick aside to a monolithic industry upon which we can blame a lot of things.

Often we blame the media for an assortment of ills, as if the media are plotting every day to spread misinformation and somehow making this country soft, introducing PC horrors and helping our enemies abroad.
What many here and elsewhere rarely consider is that the "media," as opposed to the news media, is a broad grouping of entities: the ad industry, Facebook, Hollywood, even the music industry.
What some here mean when they berate the "media" is the "news media."

Some whipping boys throughout history:
*Sorcery. My crops would be good if it were not for black magic put upon thou by the other farmers.
*The Devil. All the world's ills are because of the devil.
*Foreigners. The British Tories ruined this country. Then the Irish. Then the Germans, then the Jews, then the
Poles, Gypsies, blacks, Mexicans, Middle Easterners, and soon the Syrians.
*Roosevelt. He introduced socialism, giving the poor, veterans and the elderly a free ride with benefits.
*Obama. A homeowner discovers termites. "I blame! Obama," the angry homeowner says. Aunt Olga has the flu. "I blame Obama."
*The Kardasians. (This group of hussies and louts actually can be blamed for many of the country's ills. It's a proven fact.)

So, in conclusion, "the media" is a catch-all for blame by the uninformed.
Yes, Skip and Stephen A. Smith and Cowherd, Hannity and Maddow can be maddeningly false and blowhardian.
But when you consider the thousand other news journalists striving to bring truth and accuracy into our homes, it is indeed a cheap shot and a cop-out to generalize and blame the "media."
The media is too huge and diversified for us to do this. So cut it out, or risk being seen as an uninformed lout.
Amen.
