Dak is the 1st QB to have 11 or more Pass TD/Rush TD, 0 turnovers and a non-winning record

[Yobwocs]

Maybe it's because he's under 0 pressure. Let's see how Quinn defenses him. Dak has been praying within himself and performing well. Against bad defenses,. Beginning this week the pressure arrives and we'll see what happens. I hope he's up to the challenge.

Besides Denver what defense is really that good this year? Are you living in 2025?

You could argue Cleveland I guess.

 

[Whirlwin]

Dak is the king of stats!

Do you think that would equal championship. I do, too bad. The rest of this team can’t support the quality of Prescott.

 

[Yobwocs]

40:18......... Colin praises Dak, calls the defense a Quarterback's stimulus package

 

[Hawkeye19]

And the offense isn’t really a great offense, either. Dak and the passing game are really good. The oline and rushing game are extremely inconsistent.

Yah. The team as a whole lacks physical toughness IMO. The offense has a lot more toughness than the D— but they get pushed around in the trenches too much at times as well

This season was always going to be tough. Throw in the rash of injuries and the collapse of the entire defense, and this team’s ceiling is limited when being compared to the contenders in the NFL.

We should see some more consistency as some guys get back from injury— but they have a LONG way to go and no margin for error in the division

The game next week is a must win. Lose— and we should be sellers at the trade deadline and go full on towards a rebuild— particularly at defense

Trade Diggs, Wilson, and Clark as well. Purge the cap of overpriced vets and stockpile as many picks as possible with hopes that you can reload for a quick run over the next couple of years

Unlikely because of how poorly constructed the defensive roster is and the cultural problems plaguing the franchise, but they have got to start addressing the glaring problems destroying the product on the field

When you make Dak the highest paid player in the league you cut corners somewhere and sorry but Dak just aint good enough to come close to overcoming that. Bad contract bad results

How many years we been saying that? Through how many coaching staffs? This franchise is a poison pill, too much glam and hype. It's a culture of making money and building brands not for wining football games.

 

[TwentyOne]

He is breaking all records.

First bad player who will even make our ROH.

New culture!


GO JONESES!!!!

 

[Starforever]

Rico Dowdle also broke the record for most yards from scrimmage in your first game against your previous team.

If any player or team needs to set a record or reach new plateaus, schedule the Cowboys and make it happen.

You seriously think Carter, Lawrence, Burns and Thibodeaux = no pressure?

This is simply it. Mayfield and Darnold are tearing it up at a fraction of the price and there are several quarterbacks on rookie contracts playing great football like Drake Maye.

If the Cowboys were saving $30+ million a year at the quarterback position for very similar production then even adding a couple of quality defenders would change 2-3-1 to 4-2 or 5-1 but some people get too emotional over personnel especially at the quarterback position.

People will say well the Cowboys aren't using x amount in cap space right now but it's disingenuous to not factor in that they are saving cap for future big contracts and they had saved up a load to resign Parsons.

The point remains that the Cowboys are paying Dak Prescott too much - $60 million a year with $231 guaranteed over 4 years means he has to get it done with the ball all square against a 2-3 Panthers mid way through the 4th quarter. Those that say it's not fair he has to play great for the Cowboys to win because of the defense...well he's getting paid as though he's a great quarterback so that's his job and the front office have ploughed the majority of resources into the offense so it should be putting up a load of points every game.

Did you seriously watch the game?

It's not a matter of how good the defense is. It's how much pressure your front four and linebackers can put on the pocket.
Tree weeks ago. Dak was ranked number 29 in the national football league. The past 3 weeks he's had 0 pressure. In fact, they mentioned that in the stats yesterday, something about he's had the best protection in the national football league or something like that.
Washington has a horrible run defense. But we'll see how Dak performs this next week against them, and Dan Quinn, a guy who knows him well.

 

[noshame]

Packers are 5th in defense.
Panthers are 11th

Bears and Giants stink.

Thank you for proving my point. It's all about pressure on the pocket. And not stats., washington is horrible on defense. But let's see how dak performs this week.
There is no doubt Dak has more mobility this year and combined with a new offense, which defenses are just starting to have a read on.. He's had some good success. Let's see how that continues this week against Mr. Quinn. Shall we?

 

[Cmac]

Empty calories

....that means our D is like cake, candy, and sodas......plenty to get fat on.

 

[65fastback2plus2]

He's 2nd in passing yards (Stafford), 2nd in passing TDs (Goff), and 2nd in QBR (D. Jones). He deserves nothing but accolades all around.

And some weird people here just wants to talk about the Quarterback because their minds are Quarterback obsessed. They're conditioned to think football is solely Quarterback and nothing else.... been doing that since the inception of the golden age of QBs period in the mid 70s. Imagine a 50 year long mental conditioning - and they're still stuck in the 70s.

10th in passer rating. You left that out.

I’m more concerned with the defense.

Bingo . Whether drafting/signing wide receivers, tight ends, offensive lineman Etc all the money and effort has been put into surrounding back with enough Talent offensively to put him in a position to succeed.

they gave him everything he wanted and 60 million dollars a year. He should be performing at a very high level

Can't have it both ways

And some weird people think that a defense made of guys who combined make about as much as Dak per year should somehow be carrying the team. They put most of the money and the draft picks in the offensive basket to make sure Dak had the "weapons" he needs to succeed. OL picks, WR picks, re- signing Cee Dee. etc., all of it was done to give Dak "what he needs".

If the defense is treated as a red headed stepchild, it's probably going to perform like one also.

Dak wanted the ego stroke of the all time record deal, and he got it. I know it was for the "brotherhood" but he got his deal, and along with that comes the higher standard and the lack of excuses.

Imagine thinking that a QB should be paid $60 million a year, but still need a litany of excuses and be totally exempt from any responsiblity for a loss. Talk about mental conditioning....

The defense has not been treated like a “red headed step child”. Jerry has handed out contract after contract to defensive players. Osa. Diggs. Bland. Smith. Mazi in the first. Taco in the first. LVE in the first.

The problem is they are average players to suckish players.

I think Prescott makes too much, but the fact of the matter is he, Aubrey and Pickens are the only reason we have any wins whatsoever. Without them we are 0-6 right now.

 

[DallasInDC]

lmao, it was basically 0 to 0 with a few minutes left in the game, the ball at midfield, and Mister Choker does what he does. chokes.......blame anybody you want, but he didn't do his job.......chokeeeeeeeeeeee

Did you actually watch the all-22 of those 3 plays? It was horrendous play calls. Easy to pin it all on the QB for not making a play out of nothing.
