Dak Prescott is elite in the final two minutes of games

That's because the last 2 minutes are prime Garbage Time minutes.

You tweak that stat so it only shows games where the game is still there to be won (7 pts or less), OR in the playoffs....very different story.

But yeah... if the game is out of reach, and the defense is in prevent and conceding the 5 and 10 yard passes....even if it leads to a last minute meaningless TD, there's no other QB I'd rather have on my fantasy team for those last 2 pointless minutes. Most QBs will take extreme chances in that scenario...trying to get quick scores to give their team even a sliver of a chance...but not Dak. He'll concede the loss, and just steadily dink and dunk down the field, and ensure that he gets that last second meaningless TD pass. Amazing Junk Time fantasy QB.

Do ELITE mean throwing out of bounds when a simple throw to the open WR could win the game?

Asking for a friend

There was no wide open receiver when the ball was thrown. Maybe you can argue that he should have waited a second longer. The wide open argument is farcical

Cowboy5xsbs is elite in the final 2 Dak nuthugging posts everyday.

I wonder what your bedroom walls look like in your family's basement. Is it covered with Dak posters? I have no idea how you can be such a fanboy.

The only comfort I take from your continued idiocy is that we have about 3 years left of Daks mediocrity. At that point, once we haven't won anything and he continues to deliver poor performances in the playoffs until he's out of the league....

Then I will ask you, and the few on this board like you, what in the F were you thinking for 15 years?! All this time defending a loser. Maybe it's because you are a loser in real life and you associate with a fellow loser? You have somehow attached yourself to Dak in a sad form of hero worship.

Anyways, the Internet doesn't forget. So you will reap what you sow in a few years when he is out of this league and nothing came from his time here but empty stats.

Hope to see you defending him just as ardently as you do now but I suspect that you will disappear just like his career.

How dare you talk facts.

You mean like the defense being average?

 

[DarkVader33]

Just one question for you...because we won;t get anywhere here...right? All heels dug in no matter what. But just one simple yes or no question.

Let's forget for a moment all the other aspects of the game...inlcuding those 90 Henry yards i bet you would have said no way BEFORE the game.

Now...try to be calm and focus. We'll all be okay.

Did the defense give Dak and the offense a chance to win the game?

Did the offense tie the game with a near certainty of OT? How many teams have you seen score in 14 seconds? Average D right? Lol

 

[DarkVader33]

What's hilarious is the likes of YOU holding fans accountable, but not the super star "franchiseQB" Dak.

All Dak has to do is throwing a routine 5 yard TD pass....but that to you is too much to ask of him.

Talk about "Dak Derangement".

You have defense derangement. The one you claim is average.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

You clearly have DDS

So you going to let him slide until year 15. I mean Romo 13 years + Dak's potential 15 years, mediocrity, and everyone should be happy because that's the best we can do because of coaching, defense, offensive line, running game, etc. Mediocrity, be happy.

That's because if you rewatch the footage, the ball was always meant to be thrown out. Dak is only looking in the direction to throw it away, doesn't scan the field, doesn't see any sort of pressure, just follows a bad call by the play caller. A real leader.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Sure, we have Jerry Jones as a GM. That's a given. Does that excuse the Quarterback from being mediocre and doing poor decision making? Like I say you guys are going to coddle him all the way up to year 15, not expecting any results. Dak has the misfortune of coming after Romo, in that they produce similar results but at this time true Cowboys fans should expect the team to improve. 2014 is still our best year.

In the last two minutes, he brought the team from inside the 5-yard line all the way down to the opposing 5. His coach told him to throw the ball away,

how is that choking?

They said if he hit his back foot, we didn’t have a timeout, but your bias might overlook how quickly he got the ball downfield, putting us in scoring position and tying the game. That’s clutch, not choking.

We don't know what the coach actually told him to do. Maybe he's trying to shift the blame. Why bother snapping the ball if you're going to throw it away? Just kick the FG on 3rd down. Or did he tell him, if it's not there, throw it away. That's on Dak. Because it was there.

I also don't care how quickly he moved the ball down the field. None of that matters if you don't score. But the loss to the Ravens I put on the coaches, not Dak. That should have went into OT.

Dak can’t throw a receiver open. He needed to anticipate Perk getting separation. He just said easy way out to throw it away. Not a winners mentality

Basically, it comes down to "no guts, no glory." There most certainly no guts on the coaching side, but its not like we hired the best guy there anyway. Watching the play over and over again, there is no guts on the quarterback side. This is one of those times you can look at where Dak is looking at, and he was going to throw that thing away as soon as he stepped out of the huddle. He didn't look at any of the receivers, or any possible pushback on the Offensive line. That was going to be thrown away right away. So either the coach did tell him that or he decided that on his own. Does it matter? It's like that show said posted on one of the posts in the forum. At least Romo had stopped listening to some of Garrets gutless calls and told his teammates that they were going for the win.

Here not so much, with enough time on the clock where if John Madden were still announcing, he would say you got one more shot at the endzone you should go for. No matter how you look at it. It doesn't make sense. You can kick the field goal if overtime is your goal. You can go into shotgun and runn off some time before throwing it out. You can at least scan the endzone to see if you can do anything, but no that ball was going to be thrown out as soon as it got snapped. Gutless.

But people are going try to obfuscate things, and bring up a pushback on an offensive lineman that in live action didn't last all that long and looks like it got stopped. One which Dak never appeared to see. They going to say when Dak looked the receiver wasn't open, so he decided to throw it away, when if you look at the play, Dak never looked. They going to say that the coach told Dak to throw it away, when a starting quarterback can change a call. Gutless. Not being a true leader of the team. That is what I see.

How long before his Cult members will start saying he is a great leader, again? We already have the usual suspects trying to ease in that he actually played good in that game. Then you know from that it is going to go to, "Is Dak Elite?" and we will here that Dak is better than Aikman. I saw one thing: Aikman would have too much pride and leadership skills to to a throw away on third down with that much time on the clock, without even scanning the endzone. That was not smart quarterback play. Period.
