Dak Prescott: overrated or overhated

[HungryLion]

Anybody who thinks he is a bum, or average is over Hating Dak.

The only argument I can understand and makes sense. Are those that argue he is not GOOD ENOUGH to win a superbowl combined with having a high dollar contract.

Because I do think the argument that you can only win a superbowl with an ELITE QB or a good QB on a rookie deal, might have some merit to it. If not an ironclad rule. It certainly is harder to win once your QB is making top dollar.

But other than that. Some of the other criticisms of Dak are just nonsense.

The defense improving isn't salient to Dak.

Since truth isn't your mission....I did the work and that is posted just above. If a discussion is desired, let's go. Or is half of this board just ring tappers?

The latest ranking of QB's by CBS has Dak ranked #9. Seems reasonable. I thought this was interesting:

"His own health is also a question -- he's missed 17 combined games since 2020"

Both Romo and Prescott had a run of serious injuries for a variety of reasons...all boiling down to being slamed into the turf with a series of lines, for what ever reason, didn't care enough to keep his jersey clean.

Hmmm....really? I'm expecting a fight here I guess. But okay...fine.

Pure trash and bash Romo thread created by a well known Ultra Dak Crusader.

I saw that thread, but didn’t read through it. Don’t know why his personal life would come up. Roger Staubach is about the only QB the Cowboys have ever had that didn’t get bashed by his own fans. Even after Aikman won three Super Bowls he got booed and fans wanted him replaced by Randall Cunningham.

 

[gimmesix]

It wasn’t near as bad as this with Romo. There’s plenty of Romo lovers still out there that continue to defend him to this day.

You only think that because you were one of the Romo bashers. Both players have been unfairly maligned because they quarterbacked the Dallas Cowboys. They are held up to the standard of Staubach and Aikman without the support around them to be Staubach and Aikman.

 

[America's Cowboy]

And yet we have people here making threads bashing Romo STILL....for his personal life. 8 years LATER for gods sakes!

WRONG!

The Romo thread is based on a current event where he WHIFFED yet again. The history of his sports life. Dude chokes no matter what sport he plays. Natural Born Choker. He is what he is. You guys simply can't handle it.

Butthurt fanatic who can't handle what a player was and still is no matter what sport he plays. Hey, more power to you if you love chokers.

One guy can’t set down a FG snap and the other guy can’t spike the ball in time after failing to get down in time…..then, throws two picks the next time in the playoffs

just not seeing a huge difference between the two when it comes to playoff fails.

Some of you made me out to be a Romo basher/hater because I was critical of his untimely turnovers. I always said Romo was a very good QB and that I didn’t want to get rid of him until we have a better option. I always gave him credit every time he played a good game. I wasn’t one of those fans that hated on him constantly like fans do with Dak.

 

[Whirlwin]

sorry this is wrong, NFL history is full of qb's who played 10-15 yhears with one team and had a string of changing WR's many of which went to pro bowls because of the QB

Maybe you missed the part where I said trust your receivers

Hey, I see the hillbilly folk song developing here, it could have been missed...

Knock her down again, Pa....knock her down again.
Make her tell us why, Pa....she screamed with all her might.
Knock her down again, Pa....knock her down again,
Make her tell us why, Pa...she was out late last night.

Wins aren't a QB stat. Offense isn't even a QB stat. You need better metrics to isolate the player you're interested in.

 

[Wangchung83]

Said it after last year dak sucks and he continues to suck. Just another year wasted before it even starts. Won’t be miserable this year bc I’ll be rooting for him to mess up so bad he’s benched..that’s the only way forward. 12 wins seasons don’t mean squat and dak didn’t win 12 he won n 8. Come on Americas Cowboy, ken, and the rest of the guys that believe in a guy that’s never won the big game(not in high school, not in college, not in the pros).

 

[Brax]

For those blaming Dak for the playoff loss performance against the 49ers, here you go. Get better informed. Kellen Moore was the problem...

Here you go again with revisionist history. KM wasn’t the problem Dak wilting away under pressure was the problem. You are one of the ill informed Dak supporters who have posted excuses for the last 7 seasons and still blame everyone else, sad you see a player who chokes year after year yet here you are again playing the fool.

Go ahead and attempt to jump off the dam.

That was a start point and you again attempt to explain away all reasons except for a failure to win blockage of view.


You didn't even bother to evaluate any information pictures as a start point to be able to even evaluation what happened.

Until the last regular game of the season, what was the biggest score difference of any game lost? I'm not going to listen to a doomsday ballad instead. Start off by answering to how much for every game and simple but logical status that indicated with each of those losses.

i'm not going to go on a snipe hunt manufactured to squeel and skwak in the dark.

Until the last game of the season , that the team didn't commit to winning, the biggest loss was to Philadelphia by 9 points, when they were undefeated. Dallas then beat them at home in Dallas.

As to placing the blame on Prescott, that just isn't what occurred.

Except for game one and the last game...Dallas score an average of from about 4 to 5 touchdowns a game. That, I'm sorry, doesn't set blame instead...upon Prescott or the offense for being unproductive at levels to have easily won all the remaining games that were lost. For various reasons, the defense didn't toe their side of the ball as well.

Says the old goat who didn't play football. Here, get better educated before you continue making a clown of yourself.

Final score is a product of the entire Cowboys offense, the entire Cowboys defense, and the opposing team. There's so many moving parts beyond the quarterback... in fact, you've pretty much introduced every moving part possible.

If you want to talk individual metrics about Dak, like DVOA, PFF grade, QBR, or EPA, I'll play ball. But ranking a QB by their entire team's point differential is idiocy. If you're claiming that's the case, you're also claiming that Brock Purdy is a better quarterback than Mahomes, and I'll leave it at that.

 

[Cowfan75]

Both. He's overrated and overhated. At the end of the day, he's just another Cowboys QB who can't get us to a Super Bowl. It's not any QB's fault Jerry overpays him.
