Dak Prescott Is 1 of 5 QBs In The Super Bowl Era To Go Winless In 3 Or More Divisional Round Games. Romo Was The Last QB

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Nothing but? There are as many threads praising Dak as there are ones bashing him.

Just balancing out your comment

It was sarcasm....the Dak threads tend to deteriorate into personal.attacks. way too much emotions involved

It does. Maybe this is everywhere….maybe there are some Ravens fans who are anti Lamar and positive Lamar……

Since their last Lombardi Trophy was hoisted at the conclusion of Super Bowl XXX, the Cowboys have yet to return to the NFC Championship Game, posting a dismal 0-7 mark in the Divisional Round. Three of those losses, including last season's defeat against the San Francisco 49ers, have come with Prescott under center, as he's become one of five QBs in the Super Bowl era to start three or more divisional tilts and go winless.

Who was the last to do so?

Well, it was current CBS analyst and former Cowboys QB1 Tony Romo, who Prescott succeeded in Dallas. The Cowboys are the only franchise with two quarterbacks to play in three or more Divisional Round games without winning one. Long gone are the days of Hall of Fame Cowboys greats Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman, whose reputations were borne of playoff conquests and clutch play that saw them go 5-2 and 4-1, respectively, in the Divisional Round. Those days of Cowboys QBs captaining their squads to long postseason runs have ridden off into the sunset so far this century.

so Romo, Prescott, Cousins, Lamar Jackson…..who is the 5th?

Says more about the Cowboys team then it does the quarterback.

It certainly does, or more specifically, the ownership & front office of this team.

However, it also does speak to the QBs. It is wrong to assign them completely to wins and losses. They are a member of the team and a part of every success and failure and the singular most important position. It’s not unreasonable to be more critical of the QB versus the rest of the team.

I think Dalton was 0-5 in the playoffs.

But I think, not 3 divisional round games

 

[DFWJC]

I guess we could ask, of the 100s of NFL QBs in the SB era, how many have even made it to three Divisional round playoffs games?
10%?
less?

 

[CowboyFrog]

To think we once again needed ANOTHER stat to show that Romo/Dak are both good QB's who can not overcome this Front offices problems...if only we had more data like 28 years of it to really prove this point...imagine that.

 

[CouchCoach]

You're just a stubborn mule stuck on ignorance.

No, he is a person with opinion.

 

[Vanilla2]

Thinking back.
1st one was a miracle end of game throw by the boogie man and the other 2 were against a team that consensus around this place was a better team both times?

Sometimes the match ups don’t line up the way you wish and sometimes you get lucky like the eagles did last year with opponent injuries and what not.

Good point.

Cousins and Lamar are not part of this 5.

Thats the thing if he worded like that then it wouldn't be such a negative, thats not the point he is trying to make...like saying "Lamar and Cousins are not on the list" well thats because they have not made 3 Divisional playoff games...

• Warren Moon (post 78)
• Bert Jones (post 84)
• Joe Ferguson (post 109)

Everyone can thank @Aerolithe_Lion and @TNCowboy for putting in the detective work.

100%. Dak could have won both San Francisco games if played better on the money downs. You certainly can criticize him for the 2nd down interception that turned the last game around. Romo the same could be said for the Giants game and maybe he should have dumped the pass down to Beasley instead of the bomb to Dez.

I loved Romo but when my non-Cowboys fan friends would call him a choke artist, it was hard to find the words to explain my objection. Dak is still only 30 so I'm holding out hope.

 

[DFWJC]

Cousins and Lamar are not part of this 5.

well, who are they?

Quick glance and I noticed Lamar (and Ravens) lost a divisional round game. Plus they lost 2 home playoff games I had assumed were after byes but they weren't...so really even worse than losing a home wildcard game than losing the next round

Without looking loser, I assume thats what happened with Dalton too.

 

[DallasEast]

well, who are they?

umm. post 197..?

its hot July month. no football. only Baseball, they are about to hit mid season and not even real baseball games. anticipation, anxiety and excitment for the new NFL year building up and people get real antsy and hot tempered. every year around this time is the same.
