Dak is playing like a 4th round pick

[visionary]

4th round pick QBs play erratic

Sometimes they have good games, sometimes they have bad games

4th round pics have usually have accuracy problems

Dak is just a 4th round pick that overachieved once inawile

the problem is he’s being paid like an elite QB which limits what the team can do

welcome to getting bounced early in the playoffs

Tom Brady was a 6th round pick does he have accuracy problems?

What's the alternative?

See. Ask folks this question and most don’t want to answer. Because the alternative is to draft QB’s in the first round and have like a 60% chance of them being a total bust

a 35% chance of being around as good as Dak and like a 5% chance of them actually winding up being a better QB than Dak.


Or they’ll say “sign a cheaper QB to save re cap space” but of course they can’t offer many examples of that actually working for a team.

So he needs a perfect team around him. That's all we hear here.

where did this ridiculous idea you need to strip a QB of everything around him to find out what he really is come from?
brady left new england because he wanted better around him.

this place,man.

Fans need to brush up on market value.

Fans that aren't familiar with other teams. Or reality. They constantly spew nonsense like "Put the team on his shoulders."

take any QB in the HOF.
strip them of their surrounding pieces...and they get killed.
i know of no QB who doesn't need pieces around him.
they should talk to archie manning...who had nothing his whole career.

 

[cowboyec]

every QB needs stuff around him.
john elway didn't start winning super bowls til they got terrell davis.

What's the alternative?

Draft a QB. The team is stacked and loaded. The incoming QB wouldn't be joining the Jets, Jags or Giants but a Superbowl calibre roster. Far easier and more likely for a rookie QB to come in and pick it up quickly. We beat the Vikings on their patch with barely a third string QB.

Or bring in a solid vet on a team friendy deal enabling the front office to bring in a couple of elite players to further strengthen the roster.

If people are being honest and objective, Dak Prescott doesn't possess any outstanding qualities that would be greatly missed (please do not mention the intangible nonsense - how has that helped him over the last 6 games?)

 

[CowboyFanInLexKy]

so 6th rd picks win SB's?

Did Dak win a Superbowl and I miss it?

In the supplemental draft?

Mahomes is often used as a comparison in recent past as being an elite QB who is dynamic and a player some fans here wish Prescott was. The Chiefs got clobbered early this season, does that mean Mahomes is not a good QB?
Another example is Stafford. Did he put the Lions on his shoulders for 12 years? Did he "make players better around?" Nope. But look what happened when he went to a team with talented surroundings.

 

[Dallasfann]

We should go after 6th round picks. Then tend to go down as all time greats.

Draft a QB.. when? where? What round? What QB?

Do I even need to tell you how many teams are stuck in a perpetual cycle of drafting QB's who never pan out?

Bring in what solid vet QB? You mean like Andy Dalton?

And what will the front office do with the money it's supposedly saving? This is the same front office that extended Jaylon Smith, mind you.

Lots of injury to the O-Line and himself. He will figure it out. Watched him have good games and yes bring us from behind. Has played way better than a 4th round pick. Reminds you of Romo sometimes. He needs talent around him like Romo. And also like a lot of SB winning qbs. Something is going on and we havent played a complete game yet. Go from a 6 game winning streak to this. Defenses were playing us the same then as now. No running game hurts.

Romo has the capabilities to make the players around him play at a higher level. Laurent Robinson was a good example. Romo only had a year or two playing with a good offensive line, but he made them look better with his scrambling. Witten and Dez never played at such a high level with other QBs. Jimmy Johnson made comments that Dak could reach a Super Bowl , but he was the type of QB that needed a lot of help. It seems like Dak is average to below average depending on Cooper playing.

How many good teams continually draft quarterbacks? Aside from the Broncos there aren't many. Most are average or bad teams. The Cowboys have a good/very good team regardless of what they nay sayers claim on here.
Bengals needed a QB after Dalton, drafted Burrow.
Chargers needed a QB after Rivers, drafted Herbert.
Patriots needed a QB after Brady, drafted Jones.
All three teams have winning records this season.
Still way too early to judge the likes of Lance and Fields.
Lawrence and Wilson joined dumpster fires.
It's disappointing and surprising how petrified some posters are to draft a QB especially when Prescott isn't a game changer or of elite level.

Dalton would be serviceable in this offense. He did ok last season with third string offensive lineman but my preference would be and has always been, to draft a rookie QB and use the savings to pay a couple of elite free agents, e.g., Judon. As in a difference maker worth the money.

I noticed last game Dak started rolling out and scrambling a little more. The calf must be feeling better. He may have been hurt more than they said. They need to get that run game grinding again. He played well with the play action. But not much action if they aren’t afraid if you run at them or not.

 

[cowboyec]

drafting QBs in the top 10 of the first round has really helped the ny jets.
they do it every year.
dollars to doughnuts they do it again this year.

 

[khiladi]

Dak-stans again with their completely asinine analogies. Nobody says good and elite QBs don’t need decent rosters. The point is, Dak, ever since he stepped on the football field, has had a complete roster, a good enough roster.to be competitive for the SB. It was because they have been going with Dak that they wasted the best years of their most. impactful players, including Zeke.

Dak is the Garrett of QBs. He was and is the QB in training.

Now we are back once again to, it’s everybody else’s fault, including Moore, but him. When in reality, it’s not. This “Dak” slump is Dak 2019 all over again.

They start off 3-0, the offense is figured out to some extent and than Dak completely sucks and they end up 3-3. Dak can’t even beat the Jets, because the latter is one of the top 5 defensive teams against play-action passes. Then they once again happen to beat up on scrub teams like Detroit and he’s supposedly back in the MVP conversation.

But they then lose to the Bills and Patriots and then Dak gets outplayed by Mitch Trubisky. There is no reason from a talent perspective for Dallas to lose to any of those teams. And in the Eagles game, they decide to throw it over 40 times and Dak can’t even put up double digits against third string corner scrubs.

But according to his fans, this last stretch is just a ‘slump’ that all good QBs go through. No, it’s the sign of an Qb, whose being carried, and when the slightest chink happens, this QB gets exposed for what he is and it happens EVERY season.
