This is the thing. I know Dak has had eight tries, but this was really just his third under McCarthy (not counting 2020 when he was out the last 11 games). The Jason Garrett teams he played on had great o-lines but terrible Rod Marinelli defenses, etc..

Not making excuses for Dak but every year 32 starting quarterbacks want to get to the Super Bowl. 30 are guaranteed to fail and a 31st gets the pain of losing it. Just like how 13 of the 14 playoff teams are all guaranteed to lose their last game.

We need more from Dak. We want proof he can get this team farther and so far we have not seen it. But let's say they were one of the final four teams this weekend. That means Dak would have doubled his career playoff win total at this point. If he went out to San Fran, played very well, and lost, would that change the general opinion of him?

Because the end result- home for the Super Bowl like 30 other starting QB's- remains the same. Just like it is now after a wild card loss. Kind of a twisted, psychological way of analyzing things, but something I have thought about.
Marinelli’s defenses were generally in the top half of scoring defenses. Hardly terribly and Dak fans conveniently forget Dak sucked it up the last 2 play-offs against a primarily zone scheme of the 49ers and it caught up to him once again, but this time around the defense wasn’t there to bail him out.

He also sucked against the Rams and GB in the play-offs and every game, it’s been a disaster for him in the first half of play-offs and Dak proceeds to suck, because he can’t play from behind.

Dak's first year was just as good as CJ's so good luck with that. My point precisely....One year under McCarthy- Dak is in the MVP conversation... Thank -you for that...In Dak's head.= McCarthy or a Sports phycologist...Maybe something our worthless owner/GM should be working on....
This is the most ridiculous and absolutely most asinine post on this forum ever based on the first sentence alone..

How are they getting worse???? They won 2 Divisional titles and made it to the playoffs all 3 years McCarthy's been here. REALLY :facepalm: You could say they are trending bad in the playoffs. But you know how many years it took Tom Landry to get to a Championship game? Nearly 10 years or more. Just wonder if they were impatient as some of you in here are :facepalm: The 70's dominance would of never occurred.
Every QB that won a super bowl in Dallas did it within 3 years of being a starter.

So now Dak is not accurate.

Pro Football Focus recently charted the most accurate NFL quarterbacks from last season and Prescott is ranked in the top 5 on 'accurate' and 'catchable but inaccurate' throws. Prescott is rated No. 3 in accurate throws (65.5 percent) and No. 1 in catchable but inaccurate (15.3).
And those defensive backs appreciate those catchable throws. Green Bay was ecstatic!

Imagine thinking accuracy entails accuracy to every read or being able throw to an actual spot, which Dak completely sucks at. Good for him that he’s accurate on his early reads in an offense that cuts off half the field and has him bail if the second read is there, because he throws pick 6s and his pocket presence is a hot mess.

Guess what happens when he isn’t playing bum personnel and plays a decent, let along good defense, that can adequately put in check CeeDee Lamb? They get blown out out..

P.S. it took Landry 9 seasons to ten before Dallas lost to Green Bay in the non Super Bowl game-Championship. Damn it-Green Bay again :facepalm: And Landry was branded the coach that couldn't win the BIG games after the loss to Baltimore.
Help me with the math here, the Cowboys became an expansion team in 1960 and lost in the Ice Bowl championship in December of 1967.

Is this your Mars years thing you brought up earlier? Maybe your talking dog years? Maybe you just can't count?

So is a lot of other quarterbacks.... Like I said. Get Dak a real quarterback coach. Can you even name who ours is???? So once again everything is on Dak. Jimmy gave Troy all he needed to win. Jerry does nothing but sit on his azz and parade around like he's the rock star. Dak has had good games in the playoffs. And we still lost mainly due to the fact Jerry sat on his azz and done nothing front office wise to enable a win in big games. Dak BIG game playoffs. In Dallas against GB.. Rodgers drives team down for game winner...Yep-that's on Dak. 49ers game as time expires. I'd say an ok game. Last 2 games sucked....You want stats here they are.....passer rating....91.8......1,962 yards....14 touchdowns-7 int's- playoff hsitory..... Not to shabby......
Dak has the NFLs worst record (2-6, min of 5 games played for the stat) ever in playoff games in the NFL. Yes that is shabby and he should be cut.

Not in big games. He reverts back to his Tim Tebow days. Again, his performances in big games are well-documented. If you want to point to stats...show me his stats in big games/playoff games.

You won't. They're PUTRID.

Just did. Not Putrid at all​

Prescott has a passer rating of 91.8 with 1,962 yards, 14 touchdowns and 7 interceptions in 7 games in the playoffs in his career.​

Take a closer look at Aikman's playoff stats minus the Super Bowl. They are not good.
I watched, he was great.

And as it’s been explained, it wasn’t a pass happy league back then. RBs were still considered premium.

The difference between the good and the greats is how they perform in the postseason and do or die games. Aikman came through time and again.
Dak panics and folds.

This has been debunked many, many times. In his last 5 games in the playoffs, he has less than 90 yards going into the half. And then after our Dak gets garbage time stats. Stat Prescott

History and reality shows otherwise.
1999 1 game - 57% comp,0 TD's, 1 Int 70.7 rating
1998 1 game - 44% comp, 1 TD 3 Int 37.0 rating
1996 - 2 games - 1 TD, 4 Int, 57.0 rating
1991 - 1 game - 0 TD, 1 Int 63.0 rating

History shows he played well when he had a dominate team around him.
