Dak is a good QB, I don’t think he’ll ever be a great QB. Somewhere between 10-20.
Good enough to win a SB with the right things falling in place.

I looked back 5 pages to see if this had been posted. I did not see it. If this is a repeat, I apologize.

Some will see the info here as a great compilation of dak's history with the Cowboys. A positive outlook and argument that he will end up being great.

Others will find this to be humorous.

I merely posted this and offer zero opinion.


Ba Hum Bug! I am still waiting!

Dak being great is something a lot of fans hate to admit or acknowledge. He's still trying to emerge from Romo's shadow in the eyes of many fans. Something like a SB win and SB MVP would go a long way to correct that.

Disagreeing with any implication that Prescott can’t do the same.
Cooper had his best season with Dak. Dak elevated his game when all of the haters said he wouldn't be utilized properly because of Dak...lol

The Internet for ten years of Tony Romo starting: "He has more turnovers than big plays, we need efficiency!!"

The Internet for three years of Dak Prescott starting: "Sure he is efficient, but we need big plays!!!"

In order to have big plays, you need a big play scheme, big play caller, big play skill position guys.

We saw some big plays out of Cooper at the end of last year. Some of them came when they changed the route together in the huddle.

He plays his best in 4th quarters. He has that fire inside that is hard to define.

He walked into the greatest offensive personnel of any QB in NFL history as a starting rookie QB.

EXACTLY and how did he perform? Amazing how you completely miss what this tells you. Thats the point exactly.

Dak has everything to prove this year... TFred is back, his BFF is now OC, he has some new toys to play with, and the D should be a top 10 unit.

Last year was a jekyll and hyde year. There were games the offense was anemic— and there were times the 2016 formula was in effect (after Coops arrival)

Bottom line: no excuses. He needs to deliver us a NFCC and SB berth to put the doubters to rest and earn his mega deal.

Your comment implies that the reason we didn't get there last year was because of Dak.

Garrett has never gotten there with or without Dak.

Yawn. He had a great line and RB.

WRs mediocre. TE past his prime.

Baker Mayfield was in the same situation last year.

And lets not forget the biggest issue. He has Garrett as HC in a Garrett offense with Linehan calling plays.

If that is perfection, then I want to throw up. LOL

He also hasn't played with Cobb and Gallup never had more than 3 catches in a game until the end of the season. He only had Cooper for half the season and Cooper was learning the playbook as he went. He didn't have Witten last year and in 2017 Witten had clearly lost a step, same for Dez Bryant.

But other than that, it was the 1993 Cowboys out there on the field with Prescott.

LOL........Was Jimmy there too along with the #1 defense in the NFL?

Your theories are so full of holes its like playing poker with a first time player.

You can get by with "mediocre WRs" - though, Beasley was not mediocre in 2016, he was a top 3 slot receiver and Dez was a #1 when he was healthy.

There hasn't been another rookie QB that came into the league with the o-line he had. Do you get what that does for a QB? Heck, do you know what that does for "mediocre" WRs?

You are great at understanding the evidence, but horrible at making a conclusion.

You keep pointing out how good the Oline was in 2016 and acknowledging how great a friend that was to Dak and all QBs. But then when the line faultered in 2017 and 2018 you fail to blame the deterioration of the line on Daks play and simply blame Dak.

Thats called agenda.

I like the way he reacts to pressure. Runs straight into it. First sign of pressure, panic city. He's probably ranked number one or two in fear from pressure.

I am simply arguing that it is possible for a QB to elevate WRs. Are you saying this is impossible and QBs dont help WRs? Not sure what you are disagreeing with here.

Dak is a great leader. He elevates the play of everyone around him. I also saw Coopers play skyrocket from when he was in Oakland last year.

However, at this point in Daks career, Im not going to say he makes receivers better like Romo did. Romo was great in that way. Dak is still working on his play from the pocket.

If I was the GM. Be blessed I'm not LOL I would draft a quarterback every single season in the late rounds. You just never know what you're going to get. I would have a revolving door like Jimmy.
Yup. Because if they pan out, they can either take your starter's place, or you can trade them.

For example Tony Romo's play elevetaed Laurent Robinson to an 11 TD season. His career high other than that was 2.
And Romo plummeted Roy Williams's(WR) career.

Every QB has to have guys who he fits w/.
