Yeah. I was just trying to figure out what the good reasons were or what prompted it in case I missed something. He’s made a fan of me mostly because of on top of his incredible play he seems really likeable and down to earth and just haven’t seen evidence of the stuff you referenced. All good though
Body language, facial expressions. Like it's not my fault that was yours. I said that when Rogers first came into the league and boy was I correct. I mean I'm wrong just as often as I'm right. And I'm hope I'm wrong about this young man because he is a talent . I hope he's not just listening to the noise around him .because that's no reason at this early stage in his career . in my opinion throwing his players under the bus with those expressions

Stats are cool. Stats are fun. I love stats. I just read an interesting bit of information:

L.Jackson and Mahomes are the first two QBs, in the Super Bowl era, to throw for 7tds, no picks and have a 70% completion percentage..over the first two games

That being said..

If Dak and Co. wouldn't have thrown a pick against the Skins..he would have been the first QB, in the Super Bowl era, to have thrown for 7tds, no picks and have an 80% completion percentage..over the first two games

I know, I know, you can bend stats to say a plethora of things..but I like it and wanted to share

You don't think Prescott a winner. You don't think he has a positive culture of the locker room. You don't think he's been nothing but brilliant in the 4th quarter. You don't think that dink-and-dunk was a process of the play-calling.
when did I say he is not? the OP said he is the best in the NFL right now. I just said he is statistically....but he is not the BEST otherwise...I wouldn't put him above Brady and few others... but I never said he is bad or not positive....

my gawd you Dak lovers are so sensitive...I either have to drool over Dak or be called a hater or that I am being negative....geez folks, less coffee in the morning. relax a bit

I'm asking you a question maybe I should have put a? That's my fault. I am an individual I choose what I like and don't like do not incorporate me in any kind of group whatsoever. And don't speculate that I'm a Prescott lover. Because I could be critical about him also. Wow

Read and think about what you posted. Don't you think it's a little hypocrisy. In your language. I could speculate you're just the opposite but I didn't do that I asked you a question. You chose to perceive it the way you did

You might not like him but he's great. I can't stand Rodgers or Brady but they are great.
I'm not going to say he's great in two seasons. Do you want to label him that I have no issues with it . but I won't

I believe the culture of the locker room. Team above individualism. Maybe I do get too sensitive sometimes. But that's what football is extremely emotional. you're not going to win without it. Charles Haley what made him such a great player, in my opinion because he was crazy. LOL yes I'm a fan

you can ask if I don't think he is not a leader? which I have said on many many many posts is one of his intangibles....however, the question and initial comment of the OP is not in regards to his leadership but playing ability and being top QB in the league. there are many good leaders, QBs or other positions, but they may not have had the ability to be good football players. one is not equal to the other and can be separated and discussed separately. so not sure why you tried to switch to a different discussion regarding his leadership abilities.

He makes these weird face gestures like it wasn't my fault. You have to watch him. The worst one for doing it is Aaron Rodgers. I've never seen Prescott do it or Tony Romo. Or Eli Manning for that fact I've seen Roethlisberger do it a few times. They listen to the critics of how great they are he goes to their head
Well I have not seen Mahomes play much, but all these NFL players were spoiled and pampered and glorified in college,
then get paid big money and more celebrity and glorification in the NFL, especially if they are good.
So they tend to lose touch with reality and it can go to their head.

That is one thing about Dak, he is the most down to earth player I have seen, there are others, like alfred morris, who
dont let it all go to their head.

the thread is about Dak being the best. So the default position is better than Mahomes (and everyone else) which is what I objected to
No not saying he is the best period, just the best this season, which is 2 games.
Dak has played better than any other qb so far .
I am not saying how he will do the rest of the season.
I just find it interesting that he could do so well these first 2 games, if he was not a very good qb like so many here have stated.

The other thing is it is hard to compare qb's, as they are all in different situations, different coaches, teams, schemes , etc.
Dak improved with the addition of 1 player last season, now with kellen, he has improved even more.

Mahomes is in a good situation, so is Brady, and that is partly why they do so well.

Do they give rings to teams with the best QB two weeks into the season?

O boy lol , this isnt about rings lol.
If thats all you care about you should only watch the SB .
I enjoy the season, even other teams besides the cowboys.
To me it is 3 parts, the season, the playoffs, the SB.

Lots of great players were stymied by Linehan and Garret.

If Brady were to get injured, you might see Dallas walk away with a SB this year.

Yes, Dak has better numbers to start the 2019 season. Believe it.
Do you realize how it embarrassing to the entire fanbase to even mention Dak in the same sentence as Brady? Nationwide there are football fans, former players and media that thinks any comparison between Brady and Dak is ludicrous. It is embarrassing on so many levels. These kind of things makes others perceive our fanbase as total jokes.
