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

[aikemirv]

Actually just not complete garbage like he played against San Fran would be a nice start. You know, play a good game. Does not have to be on the level of the Tampa game, just don't be the reason we lose!

 

[shabazz]

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

can’t leave out Rothlesbergers 120 yards and 9 completions in SB XL.

I would like to think that even Steelers fans were smart enough to not give him too much credit for that one.

Each performance has to be judged on its own merit.

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.

Not many accomplish your #1, how many do you think there are in the league and do any drafted in this past draft approach that elite status?

Exactly and I'm not against getting an elite QB, I am against burning down the house because some want anyone but Dak..that makes no sense..have a legit shot at an elite QB (which we really have not had latley) then pull the trigger.

 

[Vtwin]

He played well enough to win.

He missed on some opportunities to win.

Both of those can be true. It's the second one that makes or breaks a season and a reputation.

 

[DandyDon52]

Aaron Rodgers only won one Superbowl. Did you say he got lucky??

As a matter of fact, there are many quarterbacks who've only won one Superbowl. Does that mean that they are all lucky or is it only Dak himself would be classified as "lucky" to win just one??

Help me understand the logic here.

Ok first I was just kidding.
Some qb's did get lucky, like russell wilson when they beat a weak denver team.
So really it depends on who they play, how good were they, and how well did the qb play in that game, did he make mistakes,play ordinary, or play great.

First lets see dak and cowboys actually get to a SB, then we can talk about how he played in it.

Well the "elite" qb is sort of a myth, the only 2 that really fit that term imo are brady, and Mahomes.
Both of those guys have won more than 1 SB, and so they proved they are elite in many ways.

The rest are just good, very good , etc etc.

Alot of it depends on the coaching, and how the players are used, and what type offense they are using, and does it fit the qb's skill set.
Does it fit the team they have.
It always helps or is necessary to have a good to great defense, good ST, and a good run game, to go along with the passing game.

The qb just needs to not make mistakes, avoid turnovers , and make some good plays at key times.

Here we go again with the lies....

So are you going on record saying Dak NEVER played well vs a good team in the playoffs?

Are you going on record saying Dak NEVER willed his team to a win vs a good team?? Thats another lie son...

In his first four seasons, Dak was tied for second-most game-winning drives since the NFL-AFL Merger. That's right in Dak's first four seasons, he had 14 game-winning drives. Only one person in NFL history had more than that in their first four seasons. So out of all the wins Dak has he's never beat a good team??

Let's see how much you believe that.

if Dak NEVER led in wins over good or great teams, I'll personally suspend my account for a whole calendar year. But if I list the good and great teams Dak has led in wins over to show you purposely lied, you have to suspend YOUR account for a whole calendar year. Do we have a deal???

It's time we start holding liars accountable on this board. You can be rightfully upset and disappointed with Dak's play at times and it would be legit. But try and make your arguments without lying.

(Here's where these types of posters with lies get scared to take the bet and pretend they never saw the call out because they know they cant back the lies up)

My gawd, it's like you've never watched a Cowboy game since he got here. Lol

Dak Prescott Doubters? Only Cowboys Super Bowl Can Silence Them - ESPN​

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott has his fair share of detractors, and former Steelers star Ryan Clark says that he will never silence them until that elusive Lombardi trophy is won.

Few players in the NFL divide opinion quite like Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Having been in the league since 2016, Dak has generally put up big numbers but has come up short in the postseason, most recently in back-to-back seasons against the San Francisco 49ers.

Prescott has his fair share of doubters who think he will never lead Dallas to Super Bowl glory. Former Pittsburgh Steelers star Ryan Clark says Prescott's doubters will only be silenced once a Super Bowl is won.

"Doubters won't be silenced," Clark said on ESPN's GetUp. "If you doubt him, you doubt him. Nothing's going to change that. These are the doubters that say Dak Prescott can't be a Super Bowl-caliber or Super Bowl-winning quarterback."

After leading the NFL in interceptions last season with 15, many now see Dak as a "turnover machine," despite being relatively careful with the football throughout his career.

This exact article could have been written about Kirk Cousins instead and nobody would have batted an eyelash……because it true in both cases

 

[shabazz]

My gawd, it's like you've never watched a Cowboy game since he got here. Lol

He can’t give up the crusade…..he’s got too much skin in the game

 

[DandyDon52]

Here's the thing, when a team wins a SB everyone knows why. It's obvious. In 2013 everyone can clearly see it was the Seahawks defense that won that SB. Russel Wilson just didn't screw things up. In the two Super bowls The Chiefs won, you can see Mahomes played a huge role.

true, and each SB is different.
Sometimes one team dominates, others are close one score games and some are last second wins.
last SB both eagles and KC deserved to win and played great, but KC wound up with the last drive and kicked last second fg.
So they got the win.

In that den sea SB, sea did have a good defense, and denver offense was just not very good. Sea and russell got lucky in that AFC
produced a weak opponent that year. But Sea was good and might have won even if they played a tougher opponent.

 

[CCBoy]

PappyPoo, you keep saying that year after year, yet Dak is still here.

I must not be old enough...

Ad hominem is boring coming from forum members.
It's pure clickbait on a "sports journalism" site.

 

[csirl]

Yawn.....no amount of threads will change how he plays.

 

[GINeric]

My gawd, it's like you've never watched a Cowboy game since he got here. Lol

Since you want to put your 2 cents in it... he said Dak NEVER beat a good team before. Is that what you believe as well?

 

[Jstopper]

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...

lmaoooo you’re such a hypocrite that you don’t even see that you shot your own argument in the foot “these guys act as if Dak has accomplished something that he would even be considered a SB contender.” Those are your exact words. You then follow up with “expectations are higher for Justin Herbert”. Herbert. The guy going into year 4 with 0 playoff wins. The guy who just lost a playoff game where he had a 28 point lead. Has Herbert “accomplished something to even be considered a SB contender”??? What a hypocrite

This sort of revisionist history bothers me. Weak Denver team??? Peyton Manning broke the all time TDs in a season record that year with 55 passing TDs. That Denver team won 13 games and destroyed the patriots and several good teams in the playoffs that year in 2013. That broncos team was a juggernaut but ran into the Seahawks legion of boom defense and got destroyed. People do this all the time where they downplay certain teams to take credit away from the winning team. I can already see if Dak gets to a SB ppl gonna start discrediting the accomplishment because of a “weak nfc” and all this other silliness.

 

[Reid1boys]

Romo was no different. Dak is now entering his 8th season as Cowboys QB. He is no longer a young guy. Yu can have all th efaith in him you want, or you can be a "Doubter." Does it really matter? He either wins a SB or he doesnt. We cant will itto happen.

Dak is always positive (how could you not be with the money he makes) but I simply no longer care about any of his preseason or post game talks. He's off talking about CeeDee having a chance to be the best WR in football...... ok, who cares. I get why they have all the positive talk at this time of the year and that will continue into training camp. I get it. You should be positive. But in the end, only winning a SB will have Dak's career viewed a anything other than a failure.

Danny White went to 3 straight NFC title games. Nobody really thinks he had a great career.

So Dak.... win the team a SB, or you will never be viewed as a winner. It is that simple.

 

[Reid1boys]

No Doubt in fact none at all.
He was and will continue to be a needs-to-be-carried average overpaid QB!
Enjoy his last act as the Dak era will be terminated next off-season!!!!

So what is avg? is a top 10 QB avg? where do you have to be in the rankings to not be avg? You do know the definition of avg, yes? using a statistical bell shaped curve, id say the top 8 are above avg, then the next 16 are avg, then the bottom 8 are below avg.

Im no huge Dak fan, but name me your top 8 QBs in the league.

What will be your next excuse WHEN he doesn’t get there?
