Another huge thing to take into consideration for Daks progression and future is that he'll have at least from, fredbeard, dez and Elliot. That's fantastic!

The Cowboys did a couple of things right in the draft.

Dak was one. Tapper the other. I guess I am fine with the 6th rd picks too.

My way too early list would go something like....

1. Not moving up for Goff or Wentz.
2. Selecting Elliot.
3. Not moving up for Lynch.
4. Prescott.
5. Collins and Tapper.
6. Brown.

Sam Bradford was the consensus MVP after preseason last year, Chip Kelly was a top-5 coach in the league and Philly was headed for the Super Bowl, so lets all grab a great big handful of reality here: good or bad, nothing that happens in preseason games indicates anything about the regular season (except for player health). That doesn't mean I'm not happy Prescott looked fantastic. As I said before camp even started, he just looks the part, and he certainly looked the part last night. Soooooo encouraging. I was giddy watching the guy play. I do however temper my enthusiasm with the reality that preseason and regular season NFL football are COMPLETELY different games.

I have to say though, it's really cool having our highly athletic fourth-round project outplay hotshot QBs that teams mortgaged their futures to acquire. What tickles me most is the fact that Prescott did what he did against a first-team defense while the other rookies floundered against scrubs.

Last year at thos time even with Weeden, not knowing how he would be in a game, there was questions about our back up QB situation.
Some were saying even then Shpwers should get a chance.

But now with Dak, I think everyone should feel more comfortable at this point in TC than they did last year at this point.
If you don't then you just won't ever like Dak no matter what.

Not saying get out the oil or anything. But you have to feel somewhat relieved to see his very good performance. Now he just needs to show he can do it again, or a decent performance. As that will be hard to top.

As for Wentz and Goff, I won't hold their performances against them. There is a heck of a lot of time for them to show why they were picked 1 and 2. They can go on to be great, or average or bad. But then again, Prescott can go on to be Brady....or not....

Could take a year, or 3 years to see.

I agree, with a few nitpicks. It doesn't prove Dak is the future QB but its proof he can play and that his draft selection was a good one.

Also it doesn't prove that he is capable of being the backup QB this year, but its awfully close.

Hey, I'd roll with Prescott as the backup for sure. I think he's the guy. I've been saying that since Moore went down.

I think Dak is the future but last night didn't prove that. My opinion comes from watching his career at MS State. Last night was more of a confirmation for me.

It's early of course...but man the excitement is all in good fun.
This is entertainment. What's more entertaining? Being excited and happy early or sitting around thinking negative...even if you are being realistic it still is more fun to let go of that and enjoy the ride.

Its more then entertainment. Do you know how much Dak will save us if he is deemed a bankabke QB of the future?

It starts with a first round pick. And thats if your lucky and your guy will be available when you pick. Often they arent, and you have to look at what the Rams and Eagles gave up as what Dak may ultimately save us.

I was one of his biggest critics, anyone who isnt rooting for Dak at this point is a fool

What's funny all those Wentz fans that was calling his game impressive......are no where to be found. Haven't seen one of them eat crow or at least say something good about Dak. It's pathetic really, guys can't stand that Dak outplayed their "jesus". Risen is every making jokes about Dak. I don't need to name those guys we know who they are

LOL.

It was one preseason game.

Prescott looked awesome. No question about it.

But if Prescott had looked poor you guys would be crowing about not overreacting to one preseason game.

If he develops, it makes life so much easier for the Cowboys.

Well it is only one preseason game so what we learned.....Dak played better then any rookie QB. Next week we will see how it goes. My point is you Wentz lovers said he impressed but disappear when Dak played after they said he was garbage and not a competent QB. By the looks of it Dak is far ahead in his development then others

Sometimes I feel like I'm a kindergarten teacher.

Let's say you're new to the game. If you just be patient you'll immediately be smarter than 90% of all fans. Who re-write their manifesto week to week depending on what's going on.

It definitely upped his odds of becoming "serviceable" though. It's incredibly more difficult to look awesome, than it is to look like crap, which was the expectation.

And it was incredibly amusing that he should have had a 100% completion rate in his first NFL action against jeff fisher, looking like he was on an entirely different level than the first pick in the draft opposite him.

Yes, the guy preaching "patience" is also the guy who downgraded our draft significantly for the sole reason that we drafted Dak. Hypocrisy, thy name is Risen.

I'm also the guy that's been far more right over the years than you.

How do I know this? I've been more right than the team. Which makes me more right than you. You don't have an opinion. You're too busy being player-sexual to have your own thought. You're not worth reading.
