That’s the entire point. Josh Allen has everything to do with whether or not Miami gets a division winning seed, gets a bye, or even a favorable matchup. CJ Stroud’s ascendancy single-handedly kept Jacksonville out of the playoffs and will severely impact their playoff chances for years to come. Patrick Mahomes is the primary reason why Justin Herbert’s postseason resumé is nonexistent. Brock Purdy has been and will be pushing down the LA Rams for years to come.
And Dak Prescott “has nothing to do with our success or lack there of.” Why on Earth would we ever want that to change? Could you imagine if you stumbled across your Aaron Rodgers, or your Patrick Mahomes, or your Josh Allen, or any of those caliber QBs taken outside the top 5? Extending Dak Prescott assures that never happens. It is the best thing for Philadelphia in their best era.
It’s not about credit he gets, it’s about what we don’t have to worry about.
Eagles fan: I’m good with the Cowboys extending Dak’s contract for another decade.
Mama Bear Dak Defender: Nuh uh-you hate and fear the greatness that is Dak Prescott. Look at his win/loss record against the Eagles.
General cowboys fans: but look at Dak’s record in the playoffs.
Mama Bear Dak Defender: Win/loss record is a team stat.
Eagles fan: My point is that Dak did not stop the Eagles from their greatest stretch of franchise success-and it’s happened all during the Dak era.
Mama Bear Dak Defender: that’s not Dak’s fault
Eagles fan: Who said it was?
Mama Bear Dak Defender: Dak mo better than Jalen Hurts.
Eagles fan: I guess it would mean more if Dak’s stellar abilities translated in the postseason, and Hurts has already surpassed Dak’s greatest accomplishments just by making it to a Super Bowl.
Mama Bear Dak Defender: Those are team accomplishments.
Eagles fan: Weren’t you saying how Eagles fans should hate Dak on the Cowboys because of his win/loss record vs the Eagles teams?
Mama Bear Dak Defender: Eagles fans are idiots
The Mark Twain quote about how it’s harder to convince someone they’ve been fooled than to fool them comes to mind. Along with an image of a concussed person dripping saliva from their lips with their brow furrowed.
