Dak is still my guy; stop blaming everything on him

[TheMarathonContinues]

I have been comparing McNugget to Dak for years now, but get slammed for the comp....lol

Maybe 2016 Dak but 2024 Dak is nothing like McNabb lol.

 

[Big_D]

Can he look any more frightened come playoff time? It’s a disturbing trend at this point.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

I mean that’s his opinion though…..

and I just said that says a lot about someone to think praise for a single player is the post of someone's career of a Cowboys fan, especially for a non hall of famer.

I'm not sure why fans have such disrespect for McNabb. He played for the Eagles, I get that but there was a time he and Andy Reid owned the NFC. Yet fans tend to trash him every chance they get ............crazy

Dak is a lesser Donovan McNabb, a very good regular season QB that invariably comes up small in the end. McNabb at least won playoffs games but the end result is still the same. Some guys just have “the clutch” and others don’t. McNabb didn’t have it, Dak doesn’t have it. Ultimately you can win a ton of games with those guys so you keep them around but they aren’t carrying a team in crunch time.

See post 404........Do you think Hurts can match that?

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

You'd take Hurts over McNabb? LMAO

And Dak is superior to McNabb. If Dak had Andy Reid, he could damn well overtake a weak early 00s QB class and get to the Super Bowl, just not sure he beats Brady.

Dak rises above the pack in this weak QB class too. He's like Allen and Jackson, two epitomes of regular season QBs who hasn't done anything in the playoffs.

More assumptions from the Church of Dak crowd. Always with him it's "if only he had x." If what he needs around him to win is
1. A potent run game
2. The best Offensive Line in the league
3. Pro-bowl caliber receivers and TE's
4. The best defense in the league
5. Great coach

All of this he needs while being made the highest paid player in the league.

You need to understand that the folks bashing McNabb are doing so with the motivation of defending Dak. How else do you defend him? How do you defend that first half against GB? And it isn't like that half was a one off. He has routinely put on that kind of a performance against better teams. They keep screaming about defense, run game etc. Yet the defense last year was cobbled together after losing key players - but notice that there is no excuse for those guys because we need to throw anyone under the bus to excuse Dak once again crapping the bed. The year before last we saw the defense hold the 49-ers to under 20 points and we still lost. So you can hardly claim that it was always the defense. The common thread in all these losses is Dak Prescotts horrific play at key moments. And here's the thing - it wasn't even a situation where he needed to step up his game, his only job was to take care of the ball and to not turn it over. Can't do it. So once again we are headed into a season where we have potentially the weakest team in Dak's tenure.

I guess lol…seems like you attacked the guy personally just because he shares an opinion of Dak you don’t like…

I don’t get it either. Most of the hate comes from Philly fans. I don’t get it and never will. They booed him first day he was drafted so maybe it’s the fans who never liked him to begin with. Just like how people hated Dak after he took Romos job….

 

[SultanOfSix]

He called him a poor man’s Dak wth are you talking about? Learn to comprehend by attempting to see through your Dak hate cloud that befuddled your mind…..let’s keep it football no personal attacks….

You mean Dak is a poor man's McNabb? Yeah, because McNabb and Dak are comparable in the regular season but Dak's even worse in the playoffs than McNabb. Try to keep up.

 

[jgboys1]

It is not Dak, It is the trash players Jerry signed to help him!

Dak needs more help!

 

[blueblood70]

I'm cherry picking? Cooper is the only example. He's the outlier. Anything else the Cowboys do is usually for players that are cheap and well past their prime.

No, he's not he's just the most recent but again I just told you about the others, I don't care if you call that cheap, they were solid role players that they traded for... You can call it an outlier because you're trying to make your narrative fit and it does not they will make a trade if they need to as recent as last year... Don't say it's an outlier when it's not normal for teams to do that constantly and actually works out....

You were wrong because you left it out because you were cherry picking I'm actually showing you an example of recent history where a impact trade was made and it turned our season around they're willing to do it if it looks like our season is in jeopardy of course but when you're winning so many games and you look like you're on course like we were last year we ended up stealing the number two seed winning the division it didn't look like to them they needed to make some crazy trade.... Most trades are not impact trades in the NFL just because the big name is moving from one team to the other the team they're leaving is being left weaker and with a big cap hit and the team they go to it's seldom makes a big impact. We've seen this with trades that people wanted to make here for like Jamal Adams and others it it does not always work out just because fans would be happy seeing names being swapped doesn't mean it's a blueprint for success...

of course i would like to see them do more a few more risks but what they have been doing is top 6 in the league and they're not doing it by accident, yes deeper playoff runs would be great but exactly what have the Chiefs done the last 3 seasons when it comes to big trades big name week 1 FA moves outside their organizations?? they are winning sbs not being the aggressive all-in team.. and no i'm not comparing us to the chiefs just saying 90% of the league do it this way.​

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

You’ve got some problematic reading comprehension issues.

Now I have comprehension issues lol….or maybe you just are very good at defending your stance? You verbatim said they are the same but they are different lol. Just arguing to argue lol.

 

[iceberg]

Let's observe what occurred in 2022 vs San Fran.

Yes, Dak threw a costly 2nd interception and that sucked (and I was even about to give up on him at that moment) but then so did Mahomes in the Super Bowl. And got stopped on 4th and inches from his own 10.

On those 2 drives almost looking surely like SF could've blew the game open....KC defense allows 0 points.

Cowboys defense played well overall vs SF but Mahomes and Dak had basically the same game against SF outside of the final OT drive. It was against the same team too. This should tell you everyone struggles against SAN Francisco at this critical moment of the season.

The issue was more on SFs only TD drive, things fell apart on that drive. Defense overall played well, but we had ultimate selfish me-me Diggs letting that INT fall right thru his breadbasket - and his nonchalant, non self chastising attitude afterwards like he doesnt care as long as hes paid. He could've knocked the Kittle catch loose, but he didn't even try. Why not get a McDuffie or Snead who are cheaper, better coached, and make critical plays at critical times? If you let SF have 2 extra opportunities, you get exactly what you deserved.

Fastforward 2023. Vs Green Bay at 14-0 fine. But the 3rd TD should've been stopped. Gilmore looked like he didn't know who he was supposed to cover on that 3rd TD given up. That should've been 3 instead of 7...you don't give up plays that easily. Bland gave up some dumb routes. Bell hasnt looked the same since the Buffalo game, like the wind got knocked out of his sails. Clark is just an average LB and you can't roll into the playoffs with such paltry linebackers. I get it Overshown and Vander Esch were injured, but where was the healthy Parsons? A step short and a 2nd late. Would anyone still take Parsons over Chris Jones? Everytime I open a Parsons thread here before January, people say Parsons is better. You watched the 2 Super Bowls vs San Fran and the Championship game against the Bengals.....and you'd still take Parsons??? Lol.

The defense did not improve in the 2nd half. So yes, I blame very little of Green Bay on Dak. The defense was never gonna stop sucking in order for an comeback to materialize.

In '22 you can blame a lot of it on Dak and I agree he needed one more drive and that didnt happen, but overall hes still a Top 3 QB in the league. I'm taking him over everyone except Mahomes and Burrow. Lots of sites have him in the Top 3. Certainly Top 5 based on last year. Why should I not believe what I see? Why should I not trust official publications? Why should I listen to loudmouth fans instead?

don't really care who's "guy" he is, he's not done the job and has consistently choked in big games. when someone does something enough times, it becomes who they are.

You're literally being told this on a daily basis by multiple people.

Keep that marathon going though. I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets a good chuckle from your very entertaining rationalizations.

 

[blueblood70]

don't really care who's "guy" he is, he's not done the job and has consistently choked in big games. when someone does something enough times, it becomes who they are.

That's not true Danny white had an upside down touchdown interception ratio in the playoffs pretty close to even in the regular season he wasn't that good he was picked up by a team the team choked along with Prescott they did not bring a strong run game they did not have a physical offensive line did not have a great defense they have nothing in these games we're losing we're losing as a team it's not who he is it is a fact that there's a lot of moving pieces in the NFL it only takes a couple to ruin the game not doing their jobs like 14 penalties...

Interceptions happen Matthew Stafford led the league in interceptions his Super Bowl year with the Rams he had two interceptions in the Super bowl he explained how they won the game??

I literally saw Troy throw interceptions a lot in the playoffs and in regular season games we don't remember them because the team picked him up and they won despite the quarterback not playing perfectly....

I've seen this so many times I don't know how people are so blind to it you can I suck Tom Brady throw 3 interceptions in the NFC championship games in his first year with the Buccaneers guess what they won the game they didn't cry about the quarterback making mistakes and that he had to be perfect or they were going to give up power and lose the game...

How about the 49ers the exact same playoff series they literally were down at halftime much like the Cowboys they had a terrible first half what their defense special teams and overall team do they stepped up big game Brock Purdy in that offense time to catch up they came back from their deficit what did our defense do they gave up three straight touchdowns to start the second-half you're asking your quarterback to play a perfect game to win is the problem that's what fans expect that they want him to not make a mistake in order to win and I get it we hope to limit the mistakes but quarterbacks are human just like all the other parts of the team when they don't block well when they don't run well when they don't pass rush well you know like we don't see some of our biggest names getting sacks in the biggest moments where are all these interceptions that we were getting in the regular season from these guys like diggs and bland but they're not getting them when they hit him in the hands in the playoffs they drop them!!!

. I mean 2 playoffs ago we saw Josh Allen have 3 turnovers 1 fumble rolled out of bounds he would have had four and they won that game we watched Trevor Lawrence throw 4 interceptions in a game in the playoffs and the team found a way to win the game not have their fan base and their teammates turn on them and say we're just gonna let you drown and we're gonna leave you on an island and make you look like the person who lost the game...

If you look at it with an open mind and a lot of perspective you'd see we're losing these games because the rest of the team breaks down and you're expecting your quarterback to play perfectly that's not how it works.../ I would love Prescott to have a run game and an offensive line like Troy and Roger had Troy and Roger were never asked to carry a team and yet they threw a lot of interceptions yes in the playoffs they threw a lot of interceptions and Danny white was even worse I've never seen him man be propped up because he went to three straight NFC championship games and lost his stats were terrible... And yet I see a post on here a few weeks ago about Danny white being underrated really he was one of the reasons they lost the games he threw a lot of interceptions ohh and it's Prescott they blame him when it's Danny white they find excuses for him... I will take Prescott and Romo over Danny white any day of the week and I don't think Danny white was a bad quarterback but he is overrated he's literally wasn't the reason they were making NFC championship games they were covering up his mistakes because he was on a great team...

In the playoffs Tony Romo and Prescott's teammates have played some of their worst games... That's a fact I haven't seen one game where you can go look and say the rest of the team played really good and well enough to win but Prescott lost the game no this last game they started out down seven points because their defense looked like that from the first snap to the last what if this defense would have finally got it figured out made enough stops and let them try to make a comeback much like the 49ers did yes they were down by the same score at halftime they were playing just as bad in the first half and their team found a way to turn it around that would be team spelled TE AM not spelled quarterback...

 

[SultanOfSix]

Now I have comprehension issues lol….or maybe you just are very good at defending your stance? You verbatim said they are the same but they are different lol. Just arguing to argue lol.

No, not just now. For a while now.

I already proved my stance. 1) In the fact that two QBs can be comparable in some aspects but not all. 2) That the said poster clearly did that TWICE in his responses which you still ignored. 3) I never once said they are the SAME but comparable: two completely different concepts with different meanings.

You just keep digging your own hole.

Just stop.

You're as bad at arguing as Dak is in the playoffs.

[blueblood70]

Reminds me of the '94 Cowboys. Down 21-0 early. They never gave up. No quit in that team. We saw what happened with our current crew under the same situation.

Exactly but they still lost the game it's hard to dig yourself out of a hole but it is it is absolutely probable to win a game like that we could just take this away from the Cowboys and just look at how different the 49ers and Cowboys games were we saw the Cowboys and the 49ers first half both teams looked bad looked like they were going to lose and somehow the 49ers defense special teams and coaching staff found a way in the second-half to give their offense a chance to catch up and figure it out... they did, they came back from the same deficit and won the game what did our defense do they started the second-half with three straight touchdowns they gave up 21 points right out of half, how was this team ever supposed to even make a comeback when the team just decided to not even stand up and support their offense. Yes the O struggled, who struggled first?

I would say that the part of the team that looked like they were in a practice session, that literally looked like a scrimmage, who gave up the first seven points of the game set the tone for the game, it was the defense!! no one's saying the offense played well but yeah as a team we crumbled once again under pressure where you watch other teams that I cited it above we watched Josh Allen and Trevor Lawrence a couple years ago have terrible games and they still won them, far more turnovers in those games ,and they were able to win!!! we saw Matthew Stafford had an interception problem with the Rams he threw 2 interceptions in the Super bowl and they won the game..

Our fan base expectations is our quarterback should play perfectly in order to win because the rest of the team no matter how they play they're going to blame the quarterback anyway... That is not what great teams look like great teams look like those teams that can pick up and cover up a part of the team that's having issues give them time to get back in the game... And like I said above also people seem to think Danny white was a better quarterback because he went to three straight NFC championship games and lost but if they look at those games he has a upside down touchdown to interception ratio the man through far more interceptions in the playoffs than touchdowns and yet Prescott has what 18 touchdowns and seven interceptions and somehow it's his fault because he throws interceptions in big games no he threw those interceptions in the first half and other teams quarterbacks have done that and they've come back to win those games...
