As a Dak Hater, it's always been simple. It's not like we have a hidden agenda. We just wanted to see him play great in the playoffs, where the games matter. Regular season success means nothing if you don't show up in January. Last night's game is what we have been wanting from a QB.

A team's success is heavily reliant on the QB. If a QB brings their A-game like that, they are hard to beat in January. When a QB plays great, it inspires the rest of the team and strikes fear into the opponent.

Now the next step is to keep it going. As Dak is the most experienced QB remaining in the NFC, he needs to take over and impose his will on the rest of the competition

Dak made a believer out of me last night, even more than in the past. He proved his value. Give him a solid OL and he'll win lots of games!

Great Job Dak. Awesome job Cowboys D for making Brady think a little harder about retirement.
Keep it going.
Go Cowboys!

This was the textbook definition of "signature" game.

Dak passed the final test of "elite" quarterback. Elite quarterbacks save their best games for the postseason.

We were told about all the suffocating pressure Dak should be feeling. They seem to forget that pressure to perform has been routine since the day he started in the opener of his rookie season.

Dak lost that game. He then won the next 11.

This game doesn't guarantee repeats. It just confirms the possible.

The most important thing we learned was yes, it is possible

Not so. He will pass the "final test" when he obtains the consistency that allows him to win a Super Bowl. Not until then. He needs THREE more games like the one he had against the Bucs. Or close to it. Consistency. Half monk, half hitman. I'm hoping he finds it because THAT is what it will take. The 49ers defense and the Eagles defense are both better than they were a year ago.

Dak was great! I still have my questions about Moore. I still think it's questionable to keep them together as I think Moore hampers Dak.

Were you asleep during the Philly game? Dak dropped 40 on that defense

FOUR turnovers by Philadelphia certainly helped...don't you think? It doesn't matter what Prescott does in a one off game. What matters is if he can become consistent enough to put three or four games together at that level...or at least close to it. That is the only way to a Super Bowl. If he fails, then the questions about him will persist...fair or not.

I'm not a believer in giving a team or player what hasn't been really earned. Prescott has certainly had some great moments this year but he has to put away games like he had vs. Washington. Otherwise he will remained mired at the same level of performance and respect.

chargers got 5 turnovers and scored 30. 40 pts is good no matter what happens.

So an "elite" quarterback is one that wins the Super Bowl?

I mean, if that is your definition then I won't debate that and just chalk it up to a matter of semantics. However, my definition was related to playing great in the big games, the playoffs and he certainly did just that.

I won’t even post the stats. But they’re absolutely incredible. He was lights out tonight.

Might be one of the best QB performances in Cowboys playoff history. Granted it was the first round, but the numbers dont lie. 5 TD's and he was basically lights out. And he can thank the Oline for giving him plenty of time to throw. It was his best game in years as far as stepping up in the pocket and taking off when the opportunity presented itself.

The Niners D is a whole difference beast. Anyone expecting that kind of performance again is setting themselves up for disappointment.
