Dak Doubters? Only A Cowboy Super Bowl Can Silence Them, ESPN

[MountaineerCowboy]

Prescott is 2-4 in his playoff career, yet I can only attribute 1 loss to him. He failed to show up last playoff game but in the others, he was one of the better players for the team.

For some ridiculous and irritating reason, too many people have reduced a team down to one guy.

We've done it here and show no signs of slowing down.

You thought he played well in the 2021 playoff game against the 49ers?

He played well enough to win, the D's lack of stopping the run gave them exactly what they needed and wanted, TOP.

And SF can make a lot of good QB's look bad, that's what they're built for.

And those people who do that have very low football IQs. I've seen so many people make excuses for other quarterbacks in the same situations they place all blame on Dak.

It's obviously two sets of rules for the success of quarterbacks in this league.

1. Every other quarterback in the league depends on team work for team success.

2. Dak is responsible for all team success, but when we win, we won because of the efforts of everyone else on the team except for Dak. When we lose, its automatically Dak's fault.

If the defense gives up a game winning fg, late pass interference call, a missed kick by the kicker, or bad game planning by our coaching staff.... yep. Its all Dak's fault according to a few of those people who grossly lack football knowledge.

It’s not a defensive league.

It’s a QB league.

Having the offense go into huge slumps for big portions of the game is not excusable for a 40 million dollar player.

When he plays well in any game and we win, you hide all week. Typical cowardly behavior. LOL!!! That must suck that you only got in four good weeks of trolling when we were 12-4. Hey, can you show up on the board more when we win games this year?


On another note, I saw that you were trying sell your Art Monk jersey on Facebook.

Someone forgot to tell the Niners that because that's how they play the game.

Doesn't matter how much money he makes, has nothing to do with what happens on the field.

I think the amount of money he makes does matter in terms of the impact he needs to have.

Especially in big playoff games.

Well if it's excusable for other quarterbacks who make more than Dak with less production and winning percentage than Dak has..... why can't Dak enjoy his money?

I see little to no connection.

Mahomes on his rookie deal as opposed to his present deal was no different.

 

[RonnieT24]

Depends on how he played in it

should the Ravens fans given Trent Dilfer an ”atta boy“ when he went for 150 yards and 12 completions in their SB win?

please stop criticizing fellow forum members based on a hypothetical that hasn’t come close to happening……..it’s divisive and keeps fanning the flames here.

Tom Brady has receiver Super Bowl MVP trophies for similar numbers. Just sayin..

The thing is the majority of Cowboys fans over support the starting quarterback. Those fans hold out hope that the chosen one will lead them to the promised land. In this case, Dallas has had a grand total of two. Meredith couldn’t get it done and he was run out of town. Wentz couldn’t get it done in Philadelphia and he was jettisoned. His eventual replacement leads his team to the SB.

The biggest problem here is the owner & son holding out hope that the post Aikman quarterbacks will do the same.

And the vast majority of the current fan base follows suit.

I’m not in that camp. I’m not a Dak hater but that man has had his chances.

This year’s defense should be special. It’s up to the guy under center to do his part.

Once and for all or move the hell on.

This is an overall fair assessment.. However I sincerely doubt the Cowboys will move on from Dak if they fail to win it all this year. MAYBE if he poops his pants at key moments all season and then really craps the bed in the playoffs but if he has another 100-ish passer rating, wins at least one playoff game and at least shows up even in a loss, he's back in 2024. For the simple reason that replacing a good QB is the hardest thing in sports in terms of personnel. Most teams wander in the wilderness with bad to horrible QBs most of the time. The teams that find a good one hold on for dear life even if that guy is not "great." That's just the way it is.. I agree Dak needs to play better this year.. especially come playoff time.. I just don't agree that's it's "win or else."

It's a QB league. How often does this need to be said? You are the one reducing this down.

The QB is by far the most important and difficult position to be elite in all of sports. There are far more people on earth who are elite enough to be astronauts, particle physicists, and heart surgeons than be elite QBs in the NFL.

Team building 101:

1) Get an Elite QB
2) Protect that QB
3) Sack the other team's QB into oblivion

This league is ALL about the QB, and the rules keep changing to enforce that even further.

The above reasons are why the QB gets paid the biggest bucks and why they rightfully have the highest expectations.

If it were that simple why doesn't Rodgers have 10 rings? Why does Mahomes only have 2? Why didn't Brady beat Eli Manning or Nick Foles? Why couldn't he beat Dak last year? The answers are all painfully simple and all the same.. The other guy's team played better that day. Even if your QB outplays the other team's QB, like Dak did to Garropolo in 2021 and Goff in 2018, and arguably even Rodgers in 2016, if the other team plays better, your team is probably going to lose.

 

[khiladi]

These guys act as if Dak has accomplished something that he would even be considered a SB contender. If, if, if... let's enter into our imaginations to defend Dak... I can guarantee you that the expectations are much higher for guys like Josh Allen and Justin Herbert to win a SB on their talent than this average QB...

Ok, not solely to blame for SF Mark1 (penalties and run Defense were high ranking causes) , but certainly not 'one of the better players' as you say. This is the hyperbole, on both sides....btw, two failed drives with about 2 mins remaining (when needing a TD).....(and no penalties to place blame), does kind of bring Dak into the conversation of "whilst he didnt hurt us, did he really stand-up and excel"?

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

lol sure keep posting odd "Cowboy Fan" stuff and if you cant spell his name use a spell correct "Dont do it again" ..lololol

For your birthday I will send you a packet of commas to use as needed.

actually i think the 15 penalties is what doomed them. Dak wasthe best QB on the field that day

 

[Miller]

I’ve been a 50/50 Dak person on this board for I’d say 2 yrs now. But this off-season has moved the needle where I’m 52/48 on the hate side only because the amount of excuses and posts making excuses despite reality has become unbearable. We have reached Garrett excuse zone now. Same folk daily too

 

[nyc-cowboy]

Do these people have anything else to report about?

Writing anything about the Cowboys bring in the views.
