Dak Prescott is surgical with the game on the line

[Nova]

Yep, he was surgical up in Green Bay when we got the ball in OT, just freaking surgical. When the game is on the line, Dak delivers baby

We can all agree that the game shouldn’t have gotten to that point, but it’s bizarre to blame Dak for the offensive sputter once they got to overtime.

Refs really screwed it up there

 

[MyFairLady]

This was definitely a good start. He came through when we needed him to. There will soon come a time in the playoffs when we will need him to do the same thing but against a quality opponent. lets hope he can draw from this experience and deliver when it matters most.

 

[Diehardblues]

Wouldn't have been needed if he had showed up for the previous 58 minutes



I have my own opinion that I will keep to myself.

Yea,I’m not sure this is the game I’d be touting his comeback ability against 1-11 team that couldn’t seal the deal at our 4 yard line when gift wrapped .

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

If a real surgeon was as reliable and consistent as Dak he'd be in jail.

 

[glimmerman]

....yep it's when it matters that will elevate Dak into clutch status. Not saying he can't do it, and to be fair the OP should read Surgical at times.

He has done it before. Some people pick and choose. He is our QB and I am supportive. Throwing 2 picks a game and putting us behind the 8 ball needs to stop. Some players got a little lazy. On all phases. Turpin fumbles a punt and didn’t look like he tried very hard to recover it. Some of our D-Line players didn’t make plays and Offense had sloppy play.

The game is always on the line

it was on the line on Sunday when he threw the pick from his own end zone.

that pick would have lost the game 99 times out of 100

Who says im not supportive....im not a Hater nor Dak cant Do Anything wrong. Just saying, we cant judge Dak being 'surgical' against poor defenses in mid-season. I suppose you could make an argument that the Texans game was a must win, and for that he gets applause, but lets see him do that against a top defense that actually wants to win the game.

If Daks skills, consistency, and reliability could be translated into being an actual surgeon.

Would you go to him for a procedure? Would anybody?

Don't forget San Fran in the playoffs last year...err I mean...oh well.

 

[foofighters]

Dak was surgical. Refs stole it from the Cowboys once again against Green Bay. You saw the game.

Nope. That's the wrong outlook. The team had that view last year because MM was running his mouth about it (refs). That kind of view allows you to make excuses in advance for your own failures.

In the end, winners win and losers make excuses. We should never have put ourselves in that position to begin with.

 

[McKDaddy]

I don't watch other NFL games, but in my mind Dak is having a better season than Wilson, Watson, Goff, Wentz, Stafford, Murray, Rodgers, and Carr.

Actually, Goff is having a pretty nice year. The rest of them are on the struggle bus.

What qb at any level is accurate when his throwing arm gets hit mid throw?

I didn't see the second half til Monday night so I had a general idea of what had happened before seeing. No argument about getting hit. But I don't understand trying to go to Schultz with the ball there anyway. They had bracket coverage on him. Maybe a really good pass threads the needle but I think it was a dangerous attempt even if the pocket was clean.

Zero pocket awareness…especially considering he was in his own end zone.

 

[RonnieT24]

Don't disagree with you at all.

Question becomes what do you do with a highly paid QB who doesn't win the Super Bowl for you? Isn't the idea of playing in the NFL "to win the big one"?

Dak is a good QB no question, just as good Romo was IMO. Thing is, in 6 years, Romo was 2-4 in the playoffs and Dak is at 1-3.

Um Romo's career was 13 years not 6. He came to Dallas in 2003 as a UDFA and became the starter in 2006. So he even had 10 years as the starter not 6. In his first 6 years Romo was 0-2 in the playoffs. Losing at Seattle in '06 and at home tot he G-men in '07. His first win came in '09 (year 7) against Philly after which they got blasted at Minny to fall to 1-3. Where he stayed until going 1-1 in 2014 - which was year 11.

He does.,,inconsitently. Can he duplicate it against the Niners and Eagles?....i hope so if we can stay that close in score

This got me thinking. What's a very easy way to determine how many playoffs the Cowboys have been to in the last 26 years? Simply add up the number of playoff losses.

Just have to agree that neither Romo nor Dak has been clutch in the play-offs. Differentiating between number of years is hardly relevant....both have failed. Arguing about the number of attempts hardly elevates Dak's achievements.

A surgeon with a butter knife

That shows you just how good he is. All other surgeons need a sharper scalpel to perform.
