Video: Dak Prescott is saving The Cowboys - QB Breakdown with Chase Daniel

[Diehardblues]

Lol ok

So, you wouldn’t argue or present that despite Dak costing us the opportunity to take the lead earlier in the game as a result of his turnovers , he doesn’t deserve some credit for leading us on final drive to win.

And if we’d conclude that falling to 2-3 which in all likelihood against the Lions Sunday we’d be facing 2-4 which could possibly end most hopes for making the playoffs.

In that context I’d argue it’s appropriate to claim Dak saved the season. Obviously no one player can save a season. But if you’re going to blamed for costing a season then it’s fair game.

That’s where the Hacks lose credibility IMO. You must provide some accolades when appropriate. There will be ample opportunities to provide criticism.

 

[noshame]

Unfortunately, for Dak some of us actually watched the game.

 

[Diehardblues]

No, he is not. This has been proven repeatedly.

I’m not really sure how we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that given the right supporting cast and situation he might be enough.

Especially when we look throughout history with several QB’s who were never considered Elite or even above average were on teams that won a SB.

It becomes more of just a talking point that the Cowboys haven’t with Dak. The bigger talking point is no QB has this era with the Cowboys.

 

[Kevinicus]

The throw to turpin in the seam and the one to Ceedee on the sidelines were elite passes. I can't think of another qb outside of Mahomes that can make those passes.

Every QB in the NFL can make those passes.

Doing them consistently is the hard part.

 

[Kevinicus]

Dak was actually pretty good this game...except for the instances he was making terribly costly mistakes.

 

[Diehardblues]

Dak proved he can overcome the costly errors and still lead us to victory.

I’m not sure why the critics can’t accept this.

In order to be a credible analyst you must throw some accolades when due along with the criticism.

Dude you literally are bragging about putting a misleading headline to get views and then you want to talk about credibility? Dak won a game that Cooper Rush won five of without all the turnover drama.
He still sucks and is a choker and if you think this team or him is going anywhere this year then why don't you put another misleading headline.. I'm done with you

One big difference, when they got to the playoffs, those quarterbacks generally didn't turn the ball over repeatedly.

 

[blueblood70]

Dak threw the ball better than earlier in the season Xinday. The CeeDee sideline throw. The Tolbert sideline throw. The one dropped into Turpin over the middle.

More importantly, the receivers didn't have to make acrobatic catches constantly.

Bit he's on pace for 13ish int. Not good.

Mean not good you wanna go count up jalen hurts Patrick mahomes some other premier quarterbacks interceptions I mean how about adding their fumbles how about we keep this normal what if he's on pace for 28 touchdowns and 13 interceptions it happens I seen Troy Aikman have worse seasons than that every year and he had a better offense better defense better coaching staff Hall of Fame players all over the place are we talking about touchdown interception ratios Prescott better than Troy or Roger or even Danny white... This happens and you say it's not good I say that you need to open up your eyes and see that they're not all his fault and what do you mean he threw it better earlier in the season Prescott's been throwing the ball good all year did you see those throws in New York and the New York giant game he had like no separation it was like 0 this man almost had to walk up it's sticking in the guts of his WRs, sometimes ALL QBS have throws dictated when you're being pass rushed , on the move EWRs not open etc etc

i'm not having this conversation again like 2022 IE there's a story to every interception? Lamb went pff script IE didn't run he route he was supposed to for whatever reason and in this WCO times offense the routes/throws are predetermined by the play call. he ddi this on that GB playoff INT was supposed to complete the slant/crosser didn't took it upfield ball already being thrown.,.

so before you get too ahead of yourself why don't you check out this list.2024 QB INT list notice who NOT leading LOL but PM #1 in INTs eat that! bet he has few lost fumbles as well..

The intentional grounding 3rd and inches play was abysmal. That sequence was horrid. A vet QB should never commit that kind of error.

The fumble happened bc he held onto the ball too long and now has concrete in his feet. He is now plodding compared to his agility a few years ago. It happens with age for sure— but he has to compensate for his lack of mobility by getting rid of the ball faster and intelligently throwing the ball away instead of trying to make something happen every down.

The INTs were also poor decisions and cost us points. He needs to dial down some of the risk taking and work more on tempo, tone, efficiency, and playing crisp, clean football. The points will come when he leads this team with poise and precision.

All that said— he threw some dimes on Sunday night, and made some big plays that helped us eek out the W. I am glad we won, but truthfully we should have walked away with a 10+ point comfortable win instead of heart-attack last second TD pass.

I am hopeful the offense is starting to round into form. It is what happened at this point last season. Huge game vs Detroit this week. Would be awesome if he plays his best game of the year and helps us go into the bye with some hope and momentum

Thanks for this. You can be both…very bad and very good. I say this every season for those who are either too far on every side. If Dak didn’t make the last TD throw he’s getting crucified this week for his mistakes. He does incredible things with boneheaded things and thus why I worry as we get deeper into seasons. It’s not a bad thing to be in the middle and look at the guy objectively without an agenda.

 

[Proof]

that sideline throw (and catcg( to cededew was bonkers.

chases sniffing was very distracting

in case anyones wondering, i did not have a stroke. i have no clue what happened.

 

[CWR]

No, he is not. This has been proven repeatedly.

Congratulations for pulling out all the context and using this one line. You're not worth my time.

BUT that not what happened,

No ifs and butts

JUST straight facts,. yes he might have been roasted for them BUTT the fact that he put six straight drives inside the 22 , Owned TOP , kept the d fresh, Kept the PB O off the field, they only punted once those mistakes did Not put the team in short field easy scores, those drives were LONG and basically the TOS subbed for Punts..

Not making excuses they sucked but they did not hurt the team because without Dak being great in between the TOS he was Key to winning the game. we would NOT have Never sniffed the redzone without him..

Truths are Facts....

One big difference, when they got to the playoffs, those quarterbacks generally didn't turn the ball over repeatedly.

The bigger issue which Dak is bashed for is no success in playoffs and more specifically no NFC or SB appearances which is a common thread with many QB’s regardless the details.

 

[DallasEast]

It's like half this board has the shortest memory in the history of humanity.

It is never half the board, regardless of the topic. It is relatively a tiny number of members always creating many posts about certain subjects. And quarterback has been the number one subject since CowboysZone's inception. It just seems like many members for that reason.

 

[5Stars]

We will see how he does the next 2 games. I have a feeling the Stans will be back to blaming the usual suspects

You mean no defense, no wide receivers, rookies on the oline, terrible play calling, jock strap to tight, Gatorade was stale, wrong cleats, Zimmer sucks, MM sucks, and only Dak is the one that played the hardest? You mean all those?

It's bound to show up and I know which posters will be the first to make these claims.

 

[zrinkill]

Gatorade was stale

 

[5Stars]

Why is the defense not getting any credit for their performance against Pittsburgh? Seems to me they're the ones who 'saved the season' last week.

No defense player jumped on the football. Keep up.

Actually, I bash him for pretty much single-handedly, giving San Francisco, the playoff win a couple of years back.
I'll say this till I'm blue. In the face, a quarterback does not have to be the reason for a win. However, he cannot contribute to a loss on a regular basis.
