Twitter: Dak getting a lot of media scrutiny this week

[ESisback]

I’m not really sure why some fans are so drawn to listening to the national mediots on the Cowboys?

My brother gets so fired up by what those clowns say, especially Cowherd. Nothing I can say sinks in!

 

[JoeKing]

while I would agree that every QB gets a bad break against them every so often (Dak included), your statement is a huge stretch.

Furthermore, I can't honestly think of another QB who's had more giftwrapped INT's dropped than dak over the past several years. There have been a ton of times he's served one up on a silver platter only to have it dropped by the defender.

It's one thing to defend the guy, if you like him have at it, I love vigorous debate.
but to make a blanket statement that only a small minority of his picks are on him?

This is why the term "Dak Davidian" exists. This guy is borderline infallible to a sizeable segment of our fanbase.
Why not make him the halftime show for Thanksgiving next year? Put a big above ground pool at midfield over the Star, Dak can walk across the top of the water, then turn the whole thing into wine.
Good grief.

You are absolutely ridiculous. You are actually complaining about INTs that didn't happen because the opposing D failed to complete the transaction. Those aren't INTs my friend so you can't count them as anything but an incompletion. But in your case, I suppose you hate Dak so much that you'll count anything that wasn't caught by our guys no matter the reason. That's pathetic on your behalf. Dak is an above-average QB, not elite, but not the INT machine that you wish to portray him as, either.

You complained about INTs that DID happen by trying to deflect blame to someone else.

Why not give some credit to the defense for the ones that didn't happen? Doesn't it go both ways?

Or again, does Dak (in your practicing religion) get zero blame for bad stuff and all credit for good stuff?

The debate is over. Now you are just outright lying. One of the first things I said in this thread was acknowledging Dak has thrown some legit INTs all his fault. So stop with the lies about me placing zero blame on Dak. Your pretending INTs that don't happen are still INTts and just as worthy of ridicule is just idiocy. You are welcome to it but it just makes you seem like an idiot.

Meh, this is the typical media rollercoaster. Gotta keep the suckers, er...viewers, tuning in. If Dak plays a clean game against Jacksonville and the Cowboys win by 10, these same shows will be crowning them as NFC favorites again.

Outside of this little protective cocoon Prescott is seen for exactly what he is, a fraud franchise QB. Someone the Cowboys have to win despite of not because of.

The only debate on this resides at places like this. Amongst Cowboys fans.

This is such a tired topic to me. I just want the guy out. I look forward to the post Prescott era. Saying goodbye to lip service and meaningless sky points and hello to a QB with an actual skill set to play the position.

I mean it's mid December, they've won 3 straight, they're 10-3 and I have zero hope for anything this year and the reason is named Dak Prescott.

The problem isn't Cowboys fans. We have no control over the situation. The problem is the Cowboys. When Rush played, the Cowboys put in a limited, conservative game plan for a limited QB. The end result was 4-1 against some good teams. People within the organization are convinced that Dak is an elite QB and gameplan accordingly. That's not him. Sometimes that gets you some points but it frequently puts the team in a bad situation too.

IMHO, if the Cowboys would gameplan for Dak being who he is (like they did when he was a rookie), I think the team could win with this defense and running game.

Wow, so you watch every play of every game, amazing!

The only way you can qualify your statement is to do just that, which of course is probably impossible. And just what qualifies as a 'giftwrapped" int? Seems to be a pretty nebulous term. Of course, if you can direct us to somewhere where that stat was researched and verified, then I might change my mind.

But even if he does have that, is that the reason he's not won SBs, etc? Are you saying if Dak would just stop that, he'd be elite?

Every quarterback has "giftwrapped INTs" dropped by the opposing team, mainly because if they were so good at catching passes, they'd be on the offensive side of the ball. Remember the saying "cornerbacks are wide receivers who can't catch"? And the comments about how Diggs is so good at getting ints because he WAS once a receiver, and even he has dropped "giftwrapped" ints.

Appears you're reaching for something to say bad about Dak, friend....

What makes one seem like an idiot is calling others an idiot when your own arguments aren't as persuasive as you believe they are.

I've seen dak get cover from the likes of you when our wr's drop what you seem to be "catchable" passes. By that same token how is it not legitimate to discuss balls that hit DB's square in the chest/hands that get dropped? Try as you might you can't have it both ways.

Your only recourse is name calling etc. Which is fine. Obviously it's just words on a forum. But it says a lot more about you and how secure you think your argument is than anything else. Classic Davidianism. Isolate and demonize the infidels. Just proving the point

I don't have to reach for reasons to critique dak. Just need a set of functional eyes and the courage to acknowledge what I'm seeing.

I'm quite certain every QB has his receiver drop one every so often too. But if you listen to daks acolytes, it only happens to him and it happens with alarming frequency.

 

[jblaze2004]

INT's will happen, the thing that drives me nuts is him pushing off that repaired ankle, and the ball sails over someone's head or short hops to them. the 2nd thing is him missing open WR by locking in on a side of the field or a player and that may be how the play is designed or it's just him I don't know. but that drives me crazy too.

You can say that about almost any QB lol. Nobody is throwing 100%. All QBs have throws they want back or lock on to a WR sometimes due to play design. Our play designs need a lot of work btw. I hate that we have so many guys in the same place which pull other defenders in their area to make a play on the ball. A lot of the throws are in tight windows or their is early pressure from someone getting abused on the Oline. With Kellen Moore playing QB you would think he wouldn't want to crowd a spot where we are trying to throw. I see it too many times. It's maddening.

Dallas should have beaten Houston in a laugher. Dak prevented that.

Bottom line.

Still pushing the INTs that didn't happen agenda. Idiocy is so strong with this one. Run with it!

Dak has to be better than he has been this year from a decision making perspective. My hope for this season was getting Tyron on the field and moving McGovern to the bench would give us a dominant OL and make everything on Offense run smoother. Now that it seems we will be stuck with McGovern for at least the rest of the year because I don't see Peters all of a sudden being able to play a full game week after week, we are going to need Dak to make plays but also eliminate the turnovers. He has done it in the past so we know he can do it, but he still has way too many poor decisions this year. It isn't just the interceptions, it's the 5 or so bad decisions each week that are costing us. Even the late throw to Schultz to set us up for the win was probably not a great decision with so much time left on the clock and us already in FG range. We also need to take some deep shots to open the shorter routes up because when we face teams that can get pressure on the QB with just 4 guys and drop everyone else it has killed us in the past and both Philly and SF can do that.

Cowboys are 6-1 since his return and their offense is #1 in the NFL in scoring points. Dak can keep doing what hes doing.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Dak only beats bad teams history shows just look st the stats!!! He beat bears lions when they sucked giants suck evsn the vikings suck get back to me when HE beats the eagles bucs or winers. Oh snd he almost lost yo a one win team. Are you related to Dak???

Washington, Giants 2 times, Vikings, Bengals all winning teams in the playoff hunt we beat this year. Thats 5 teams Mr. Troll. But what the heck, keep on playing the joker

You sound tired. You should just stop posting anything about Dak or in Dak threads.

It’d be good for you.

No. Welcome to America.
