Dak outplayed Goff

[Acceptablename]

At least he wasn't washed up by year 7 like Dak

So now Dak has to live up to Tom Brady. Interesting

 

[khiladi]

Let's review this for a minute.......

Dak was drafted in the 4th round.

Goff was the overall #1 pick in the draft. Wentz went #2 overall.

Five more quarterbacks were taken before Dak Prescott

I wonder how many of those teams that drafted a quarterback before Dak wished they had drafted Dak instead..

Yes, Dak was better than Goff and you bet that is a significant fact even to this day.

Most of you acknowledge that Dak is better to the degree that you don't even consider it an achievement.

However, the fact remains. The vast majority considered either Goff or Wentz the best quarterback in the draft that year. Today, the vast majority believes Dak is the best quarterback drafted that year.

But the Cowboys only won by 18 points and Dak only threw for one TD and the Cowboy offense couldn't score until late in the game. It's ironic because, if they had just waited a little longer to start scoring Dak would then be hailed for his great come-from-behind victory. Funny how that works.

Another irony that might be relevant to older fans involves some games played in 1970 and 1971. The Cowboys beat the Cleveland Browns 6-2 and they beat the Detroit Lions in the playoffs 5-0. You know, if the internet had been around during that time, I doubt that fans would be remembering Roger Staubach with as much reverence. The low scoring victories wouldn't be a tribute to an historic defense, the Doomsday. No, it would be an indictment on the quarterbacks and how they did nothing.

Fans would be just as wrong then about Staubach as fans today are about Dak Prescott.

It's as if fans never realize that the opponent defense is trying to do to the Cowboys exactly what their defense is doing to opponents. Some of those defenses ae pretty good and all of them have the Cowboys at or near the top of their list of teams they would love to beat. Believe it. The Cowboys will always get their best effort because of perception. This is also something Cowboys players are going to have to accept and use as incentive to toughen up.

Some call this an ugly win. It isn't.

An "ugly" win, if you believe they exist, would be the Cowboys beating the Bills in the last seconds in a game where our quarterback threw 5 interceptions.

An ugly win happens in games where you were predicted to win easily, you made so many mistakes that you deserved to lose the game, but you won anyway. That didn't happen yesterday.

You saw an inspired, well coached, but beat up Lion defense play big in the first half and become fatigued in the 3rd quarter where the Cowboys offense begin to move the ball. You saw a great defensive effort once again by the Cowboys defense. They did to Goff what they have been doing to other quarterbacks almost on a weekly basis. Is Burrow really that bad? Is Daniel Jones really a bust?

Dak came back a little rusty, took a while to get started, and helped the team get to 5-2.

Meanwhile, the Commanders benched Carson Wentz and Dak looked better than Goff.

.

If Dak was on any of those teams, he’d be a backup and forgotten about.

At least Goff has the resume of making it to the SB and winning multiple play-off games..

And if we are going by wins and QBs, Goff has the playoff win against Dak. And Dak in typical fashion was the worst offensive player on that team, throwing duds all day until garbage time.

Just wondering where you Dakies will be next week

 

[Denim Chicken]

First round overall pick says a lot

Lol, the many, many first rd busts say hi.

 

[khiladi]

Both Goff and Dak are scrubs. Both of them have similar drop offs when going to their second reads. But at least Goff doesn’t drop over his feet doing traditional drop backs from under center and he can throw the ball much better, without forcing it with his arm. I bet you Moore would get more out of Goff than Dak.

 

[Flamma]

He was rusty of course but bottom line he outplayed Detroit's Goff and other QBs around the league including Tom Brady and this is after a 5 game layoff. I'm not disappointed with Dak whatsoever with his performance in the Detroit game.

If by outplayed, you mean the Cowboys outplayed the Lions and Dak didn't do anything stupid while his defense won yet another game.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Is that what we're gonna do now......TB gets immunity TODAY, for what he did in the PAST?

Yes. It's accomplishments you can't take away. Brady probably should have listened to his wife, and he wouldn't get bashed for having a bad stretch.

And yes...Dak does get to finish his career. Then we can talk.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

This reek of desperation lol

 

[cowboyed]

Let's save the anointing oil for the playoffs.

I don't think anyone is sprinkling anointing oil on Dak except to state he improved as the game went along. He didn't quarterback in preseason, he injured his hand and was out around 6 games so he performed well against the a competitive Lions team under circumstances. We expect Dak to improve in upcoming games and perform competitively if we make it into the playoffs along with his teammates and savvy coaching.

No one should be expecting him to be named NFL offensive player of the week.

I'm not disappointed with Dak whatsoever with his performance in the Detroit game.

Jerry likes high standards in winning and performance as a major asset when building the organization.

History has shown however, that he will overpay for above average and substandard performance as well
when the other tangibles are there. That is If he likes them.

So funny

LOL...desperation when saying Dak outplayed Goff, a QB others slammed as crap, and using a bad game by the greatest QB in NFL history (Brady). Based on your logic then Taylor Heinicke (20 of 33 for 201 yards with 2 td's and 1 int) played equal to or better than Dak as did Carolina QB PJ Walker (16of 22 for 177 yards with 2 td's).

The ignorance and desperation of some Dak fanatics.

 

[glimmerman]

He missed the first play of the game to
brown. Would have been a great play that Romo was even saying was likely 6. Then lions turned around and did the same play on there opening play to the opposite side and luckily our Defense is fast and got to it..

Yes, Goff was remarkable in that playoff game against the Cowboys, wasn't he? He completed a dazzling 54% of his passes for 186 yards, no INT's. Well, no TD's either but I'm sure he was the reason the Rams won.

Dak would be a backup on the Rams? Well, at least he would still be on the Rams.

 

[Nexx]

He outplayed Tom Brady. Look at that stinker he put up. Noone is talking about The GOAT playing like crap.

I've been telling everyone he's done for weeks.

 

[Mr_437]

Stop it. If Dak played vs this Defense it would've gotten ugly just like it is for most QBs.

He did BUT if you switched the D's I bet Goff would have outplayed Dak.
BTW, not a knock on Dak, he is a better QB than Goff but Defenses do play a part in how QB's play.

 

[links18]

He better darn well outplay Goff.

 

[morat1959]

Just another prop up Dak thread. We should rename the team the Dallas Dumpsters in honor of the great one.
