Dak is back

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Blitzes expose every defense to holes, but not every QB takes advantage of them.

don't explain football to him. it goes right over his head.

just throw in Right Guard out in there somewhere...he is really hung up on the right guard these days.

These Dak-stans have suddenly so broad-minded about how good ‘everybody else’ is playing on the team, when for years all they’ve done is sacrificed everybody at the altar of Dak, like they’ve suddenly learned to play football. I mean even Cooper was labeled as a choker, along with Zeke taking himself out of games, though he’s doing it regularly now.

I want to win and I have watched this game long enough to know it takes a lot of players both sides of the ball to achieve the goal of winning a SB. Staubach was a great QB, so was Pearson and Hill, so was Lilly and later R. White. So was Thomas, Hill and Dorsett so what Harvey Martin and Harris and Waters. Go to the 90's again Irvin, Novacheck, Emmitt, Harper, Woodson and the list goes on. It takes a team but we have idiots hollering QB and how he needs talent around him? To win, to win a SB yes you need talent around that QB and you need the QB to go out and do his job. They claim those of us who are happy with Dak play as Dak lovers yet they are so consumed with their own hate of Dak they can't see the overall picture of what it takes to win. QB is very important but so are the players around that QB

Could not have said it better...it will take a team to win one from the coaches to the last player on the roster.

 

[thunderpimp91]

I agree....I question how a Cowboys fan has a beef with our QB right now though....it doesn't sit right with logic.

It doesn't at all, and I find it hard to believe anyone actually does. People just have narratives to defend, and we live in an age where you can find a stat to back up anything.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

I agree, it shows either a lack of intelligence or agenda of those who have been down on Dak and unwilling to change their minds no matter what Dak does. Frankly I do not think these people are stupid, I think they made up their minds on Dak a long time ago and too stubborn to change their views

They'll go out of their way to hold make certain rules for Dak, in which they do not make for other QBs. Examples are them trying to subtract YAC yardage/TDs, from Dak's stats. But they don't break down or look at the other games in the NFL, to see how YAC yardage helps out all QBs stats in the NFL in every single game. Including the YAC that the top ten QBs in the NFL will get on screens, dump offs or short yardage passes. Then just now they try to discredit Dak again by saying that there was no pressure on him against certain teams. And yet with other QBs they get credit with "If you give *insert QB* all day to throw the ball or don't get pressure on him, then he'll make a defense pay by picking them apart, because he's that good or elite."

This is when I know that their dislike of Dak goes overboard and is more than just about wanting to hold Dak accountable when he plays poorly or loses a game. Because they'll reach so far and will go to any lengths to discredit the good things in which Dak has done. And they don't use these same logic to discredit other QBs, who will perceive credit and praise for doing things they aren't willing to give Dak credit for doing.

But, then they'll accuse Dak supporters of being emotional in defending Dak. As if some in the Anti-Dak crowd, aren't emotional when it comes to them seeing Dak get credit or praise for anything. And will accuse Dak supporters of being bias in the defense of Dak, while pretending like there aren't some in the Anti-Dak crowd, who have a bias agenda in their negativity towards him or wanting to see him fail, so they can say "I told you so."

Interesting how you ignored the fact I pointed out that Martin didnt play in the Tampa game. Keep doing you bud.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

What does capable backups filling in have to do with the contention? So now your arguing the number 1 rated pass and run blocking OL in the league is not that good and we’ve been a mess? I mean you really can’t be arguing this..

Like I said, we have the Denver game as proof that Dak completely sucked when a good defense actually got some pressure. So I actually have watched the games and the “eye test” tells us exactly the opposite you claim.

Now your argument is that the reason Dak is effective at the blitz this year, because he’s making all the right reads and it has nothing to do with the blocking, including Zeke picking up blitzers. But facts are, Dak’s numbers have always been good at the blitz even going back to 2017.

show me a link that says we are number 1 pass blocking and number 1 run blocking team?

you had to reach deep into your backside to pull that one out.....is there no shame? do you have a half ounce of integrity anywhere in your body?

the right guard. the right guard...I tell you its the right guard.....waaahhh waaahhh

Whats amazing to me. Is that they discredit Dak from calling out adjustments prior to the play getting everyone in the right position and protections then giving all of the credit to the OL. That one AMAZES me.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

LMAO..

They blitzed him on his first TD pass. He was STARING DOWN Lamb the WHOLE TIME and ZEKE completely walloped the free blitzer and Dak had a whole ocean of space. That play was made by Zeke. And it was a third and 6.

That’s clear as day at 37 seconds.

look at the 4th and 3 at 1:37, a 4th and 3. Dak had like thirty seconds to throw to find a wide open Gallup on a busted coverage.

Every read in this clip is basically a ONE READ throw with all day to throw.

Even the TD your referring to, I’ll give you that, but even then he’s staring down Lamb the whole time, who again, the Atlanta were playing press coverage and the CB STUMBLED on the route, after Dak threw it. And that too happened when the Cowboys were basically blowing them out.

Dak playing at such an elite level must really crawl under our skin. you are so consumed. so hurt. so frustrated. your head wants to explode. you want to just scream. but no one can hear you. your ears are red, perhaps a little steam coming out. you are walking around talking to yourself. you are angry. snappy at everyone. you have locked yourself in your room just throwing things at the wall. oh, the frustration. the anger......oh why why why does Dak have to play at such a high level........urrgghhh I hate life

I have never changed my views, If Dallas is going to make it all the way the talent around Dak means a lot. Rams seem to feel that way about their team which is why they have gone out and added Von Miller and OBJ. Stafford play is still critical to their success but without talent around him they can't win. You seem to be focused on bashing Dak for doing his job, we have all seen poor QB play and how bad it can cost a team so really what is your deal with Dak? Completion rate high, TD to int ratio very good. So what is it?

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I’m telling you an indecisive QB making bad decisions would make it harder on the O-Line, and a QB doing the right things makes an O-Line’s job easier. Quick reads and decisions take pressure off the line. Quick reads mean fewer sacks. Good reads lead to sustained drives. The Cowboys OLine has been solid, but clearly Williams is a weak link. Biadasz holds his own that’s about his max, and Steele, while a very nice backup, is not a standout as a starter, especially on the left side.

don't try to speak logical...he only understand stupid...just mention the right guard a couple of times randomly and that gets his attention and calms him down.

I could've swore it was the LT last week..this offense was never going to be ok withouth Tyron...again this team from the Coaches on down are proving they can and will overcome obstacles...even serious injury issues on both lines. Its impressive!

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

lol, you're desperate. Apparently things were "perfect" for 8 games, and imperfect for 1. You are literally stretching to find a way to dog Dak for having 1 bad game out of 9.

A QB having a down game proves he can't function unless things are "perfect"? How does that fit with Brady and Rodgers yesterday?

But wait ...
The passing game having to cover for a running game that only averaged 3.1 yards per carry was "perfect" for Dak in this game?
The defense giving up 29 points and running game getting 3.9 yards per carry against the Patriots was "perfect" for Dak?
The defense giving up 31 points and running game only getting 60 yards against Tampa was "perfect" for Dak?

The Patriots are starting to look like a solid team that Dak and the Cowboys managed to beat. But, Pappy Dog and other Dak haters and negative Cowboys fans, will find a way to make excuses for any solid or quality win the Cowboys get this season. It's always going to be "Well this team didn't do this or that against Dak, the only reason why the Cowboys beat *insert team* is because *fill in blank*, so therefore they shouldn't get credit for that win." With them for the rest of the season.

 

[khiladi]

Interesting how you ignored the fact I pointed out that Martin didnt play in the Tampa game. Keep doing you bud.

So what? Interesting how you ignored the point that the OL stifled the Bucs pressure, including their blitzing which was second most of any team that Dallas played, outside Carolina, by a whopping margin, and Collins was completely healthy and played that game and dominated.. You think I think Collins and Smith suck as some sort of response?

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Again, you are back to engaging in trying to tell me how to use hyperbole, like you did in the past. You are not the inventor of the English language to determine how I can use hyperbole. It’s clear 30 seconds is used figuratively and as hyperbole and the person whose trying to latch on to it as literal to refute an argument is the one that is grasping at straws.

Nobody is saying Dak can make an awesome throw every one I awhile, so I’m not sure what your point is. The reality is this OL and RG has been dominant ever since Dak came to this team.

Dak-stans want to latch onto blitz as some argument Dak is good against pressure, when in reality it’s more of a reflection that our OL and Zeke stifle the blitz and always have.

When Dak sucks, he still has a good rating against the blitz.

the right guard again...I never laughed so hard...you are so hung up on this right guard. it sounds so desperate to take the least important offensive position and make a hero and a case out of it for good football team...



thanks. I find you funnier every day. I enjoy the entertainment. its like watching three stooges rolled into one. you are funny

 

[BEARCATSKLZ]

That's who the Cowboys are (last week's game). Today was an aberration... they got lucky... everything went their way. Blocked punts, miracle throw TDs, juggled INTs. It won't happen every week. Let's see the Cowboys do the same thing in KC next week.

Today's game was the exception, not the rule.

You are the worst statistician... 7-2 says different

 

[johneric8]

You're not wrong, but you also have posters on here that put Dak over the rest of the team and it clearly shows. It honestly is why I believe so much of the Dak hate continues. It originally was Dak v Romo, but that is sooo far over. Dak v his contract, that debate is now over. Now its just the Dak haters vs the Dak lovers. 85% of the board probably falls in the middle, but we have a loud minority on both sides.

I had to reply to your post because it's ludicrous.. If you think that 85% of this board is neither a Dak love or hater I have to say you're way off base.. Most fans of the cowboys love Dak prescott and are thankful for him.. If you truly believe that 85% of Dallas Cowboys fans are neutral when it comes to Dak you must be in the hater category.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

LOL....He almost "Dak-It" with a possible pick 6 to start the game then Zeke and the Boys killed a very inept Falcon team.
Let's hope our guys can keep carrying him until the end of the season as teams with winning records are ahead......

butt hurt much? are you using the paste? can I send you more as your butt hurt needs a lot of attention.

it must hurt so much. it must really frustrate you to see Dak playing at such a high level. it crawls under your skin. you feel itchy. angry. frustrated. you want to hit something. you just want to scream but you can't. you are afraid people think you are psychotic, so you mummble and people ask you what did you say and you have to find an excuse so they don't think you are a moron. you can't think about anything else, but Dak. you are so obsessed. so hurt. its just so frustrating for you

I'm not satisfied with 7-2 if evil-arse GB is 8-2.....

 

[OmerV]

Yes, he was. And Tampa got zero pressure on Dak all day and they blitzed Dak second only to Carolina. It was a whopping 50.1 blitz rate and that was 8 above the season average. The Bucs didn’t even shift safety help on Amari and all Dak did was basically toss the sideline routes to him all game. Even Carolina got zero pressure and they blitzed 68.8 rate, thirty above their season average.

Dak literally had the best pass blocking OL in the league and arguably the best blitz blocking RB in the league as well. Zeke was stifling dudes in TB.

Against Tampa Dak got sacked once and hit 7 times and as I recall Shaq. Barrett harassed him the entire game.

And yes, Cooper had a big game, but so did Lamb, and others contributed as well. There were still 269 passing yards that did not go to Cooper in that game.
