Dak is clutch

[Boyzmamacita]

Well, the real challenge is next week against the Ravens......

I see what you did there.

 

[plasticman]

Every week is his "new challenge", the one that's supposed to make him come crashing down to earth. There is always that experience that exposes rookies, something that no rookie has done before.

Well, no other rookie that is. That is because no other rookie has done what Dak has done.

Dak Prescott is only a few plays away from being an undefeated rookie starting QB after nine games. Imagone if Williams had went out of bounds and Baily had made the FG and sent to game to OT. Would you bet against Dak knowing what you know now?

Dak is on track for the best rookie QB season passer rating and completion percentage in history.

He is the starting quarterback throughout the longest single season winning streak in Cowboy history.

If the Cowboys win another away game then Dak will tie Roethlisbeger for most victories in away games for a rookie starting QB in NFL history.

I'm sure there will be more but the point is this:

Dak Prescott in so unlike a rookie that we should no longer assume any limitation normally placed on a typical rookie QB.

Translation:

Dak Prescott can take the Cowboys to the Super Bowl.....now.

OMG please stop. Just enjoy this amazing win by an amazing QB. Big deal about some noodle arm. It surely didn't affect the outcome of the game and that is what is more important than anything else.

I agree enough already, also Joe Montana says hi.

Dak seems to always keep his composer. After what I felt was a slow start by Dak he got things going as the game wore on. During much of the 1st half it looked as if Dak passes were coming out late. Often times I would see Beasley already out of his break and waiting for the ball which allowed the DB to prevent the pass. As the game wore on though I started seeing the ball being delivered on time as WR were coming out of the breaks. The big challenge though was the last 2 drives of the game when Dallas was put into do or die situations and Dak came through. Really proud of him.

This has to be trolling. Nobody believes he has a noodle arm.

You're dead on, that guy is the king of trollers or at least a prince, on second thought maybe a secondary duke.

Those stats are nuts.

It frustrates me when people say he's inaccurate. He has a few bad passes and certain ppl tear him to shreds. Yet after nine games, Dak has completed 66.8% of his passes. And we don't run a dink and dunk offense.The stats literally prove that Dak is accurate, but we have people on here saying he's not. They can't see the forest for the trees.

Every QB misses on some throws so it's important to look at the overall picture and not just focus on the misses. The overall picture is that he has a 66.8 completion percentage and has not thrown too many interceptable balls.

It's the same with criticism of Romo. Those who want to detract from them find a few negatives to harp on and blow them out of proportion. They can't seem to just enjoy the fact that we have a Pro Bowl quarterback waiting in the wings while a fourth-round rookie is playing at least as close to as well as we could have expected from a healthy Romo.

There's just no reason to knock either one. Now, there's nothing wrong in pointing out things Dak needs to work on, in context of how great he has played. It's hard to imagine that he could get better, but he certainly can improve his footwork on some throws.

The pass he made to Bryant before Bryant even started his break was brilliant.

We were actually only down 1. Bailey could have won it.

 

[aikemirv]

Wrong. Him stepping into passes and then still having no zip on them is a great indication how inconsistent his arm strength is.

I don't think he lacks arm strength at all. I think he just tries to lop passes sometimes rather than zip them in there. He will figure that out because he has plenty of arm strength. We were very inefficient in the first half. Partly some bad throws but also taking Zeke out too much. Dak has done a great job but I still think Zeke is the key to this teams success much more than Dak.

 

[Doomsday101]

Yeah it was. I'm not picking on Dak I just noticed early in the game that Dak had some throws where he looked to be late getting the ball out which was allowing the defender to be in a position to knock the ball down. The thing that impresses me with Dak is he remains under control and does not let things get to him. He made some mistakes in the game but keeps coming back from them that to me says a lot about a player. I don't expect perfection but I do what to see a guy who keeps his head in the game and continues to fight and Dak clearly does that.

I didn't think you were picking on Dak. He has areas to improve, which really is incredible considering how well he's playing overall. That tells us that the sky is the limit with Prescott. If he works in the offseason to fix his minor flaws, there's just no telling how good he can be.

Yes he has areas to improve on but then even Vet QB have shaky games, it is not something only rookies deal with. The big thing I see from Dak is he keeps his head in the game and puts negative plays behind him and that is something that even many vets don't do. Seldom does any player have a mistake free ball game but how do you respond after a mistake is made? Do you go into a shell or do to shake it off and move forward? To me that is the key

 

[SDCowboy]

I know he has higher aspirations, but it would be very cool to see Dak in the pro bowl this year (if we aren't playing in the Superbowl).

Preach. I think it's hard for some to face the fact that we are witnessing something unprecedented here.

In games, sometimes you don't always start out perfect, and sometimes you don't always end it perfectly. Do you think people are critiquing Tom Brady's throws in a Seattle loss? Or Matt Ryan's 1td 1int game? You judge the ENTIRE game. And by that measure, he was stoic. Pin point accuracy, unphased by rushers all around him, the guy is simply a gift.

No but then they are vets and in Brady case a highly proven vet. My comments about Dak being late on getting the ball out early was just something I was seeing but as the game continued he started getting the ball out quicker but again what makes me feel confident about Dak is how he is handling himself even when things are not going well. You don't see him being animated on the sidelines he just seems to keep his cool and moves on to the next play. I have watched more seasoned vets not show that coolness when things are going poorly and allow it to effect them through out the game.

 

[DakotaReign]

What more do you want this 4th round rookie to do? I mean, geesh.

I heard he can also rush the passer. Lets look into it
