Dak saved the season

[Diehardblues]

In that case, we could have said this player saved the season or that player saved the season FOR NOW after their first win.
“Rhetorics” don’t bother me. It keeps the conversation going.
.
If anybody saved the cowboys for now, it is their kicker, Aubrey.

You’re welcome to present that argument, And if he’d kicked the winning FG I’d probably concur.

Aubrey FGs won the game against the Giants when the offense went dead in the second half.
If they had lost to the Giants, the season would have been over for the cowboys.

I supposed you could have presented that argument last week.

But IMO it’s a little late. I think most see the win over Steelers as a bigger win.

I understand many fans hate giving our QB any credit. Must have been awful watching him pull out a win

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

I know . He almost gave it away but in the end he saved it.

With our upcoming schedule with Det and at SF we would have been staring at 2-4 and probably 2-5. Season over.

But 3-2 saved the season. At least for now. And you could tell by our sidelines and coaches reaction . They know how tough it would have been.

3-3 will be much easier to swallow at the bye. And even 3-4 keeps you in WC hunt. I’m telling ya Cowboy fans. Tonight’s win saved the season. And we couldn’t have pulled it out without him.

Bash him all you want. He may cost us games and playoffs, etc but Tonight he saved the season.

Good night Cowboy fans. Enjoy the win!!

saved the season? only a quarter of the way through? how? we could easily lose the next 6 games. Pittsburgh's offense is bad. so beating up a bad team, doesn't save the WHOLE season.

I think we are going to be 3-8.

Detroit is coming to dallas and with their balanced offense, they are top 5 in offense and both Ravens and Saints killed us at home. we won't be able to keep up offensively.
with Guyton and Steele being turnstiles, Dak is going to get sacked at least 5 times.

next comes the niners. our achilles heel.

Atlanta is good offensively,

and Philly is in better shape than we are, and we usually split with them.

then Texans and commanders who are playing hot.

pitt win wasn't as impressive as everyone makes it out to be. everyone is just high on the win right now.

People are pleased and grateful for the win. Prescott made some big plays down the stretch but come on he was the key factor in digging the fairly big hole the team found themselves in.

 

[Swagger]

Imagine the criticism Prescott would have got had the ball bounced towards the Steelers on the fumble.

It didn't and he made a good throw that was well caught to win the game and suddenly he can walk on water!

Just trying to keep it in perspective.

People focus on Hurts fumbling the ball whilst on the move in the Superbowl yet he played a superb game aside from that one moment when the ball could have easily fallen to a green top. Those who want to focus on finding a reason to criticise him, focus on that rather than how he put up one of the best performances seen by a losing QB in a Superbowl but as it doesn't fit their narrative this can't be mentioned!

So, this is about giving Dak credit?
I should have known.
lol

Save the season “ for now”. Key words in OP.

Hate on bro.

You didn't answer the question, which isn't that surprising.

Jalen Hurts was also a runner up for the MVP. Using your logic, he's a great QB. Are you saying Hurts is a great QB and in the same class as Dak?

 

[Sydla]

You guys confuse me. So you can’t miss receivers, you can’t throw interceptions….so we see Josh Allen do this weekly, Jalen Hurts do it weekly…..Mahomes do it weekly….what quarterback doesn’t throw dumb passes or decisions? Or make mistakes? Sam Darnold?

Well for starters, Hurts isn't a great QB either. Darnold isn't a great QB either. I expect both them to make numerous mistakes in a game.

Prescott makes more bad decisions or bad throws in games than Mahomes or Allen. Hence why no sane person would claim Dak is as good or better than those two. I can't believe we have people trying to argue otherwise.

I never argued for not against who’s better.

That’s what makes it even more silly. We hold Allen in such high regard but eh literally makes more mistakes than anyone. They both have more turnovers than Dak. Mahomes I get he can throw 20 picks he’s shown what he does in the regular season has no barring on what he does on the playoffs. But Josh Allen turns over the football at a rate like no one else except maybe Anthony Richardson.

But that’s besides the point. My argument isn’t who’s better or who makes the most mistakes. Actually it’s not even an argument it’s a question. Do we expect we expect every pass to be perfect? What is an acceptable amount of mistakes a guy can make or can he not make any?

You have Mahomes in a class of his own and after that you have guys like Hurts, Dak, Allen, etc.

season would not need to be save if dak didnt stink so bad to start with

No one said he needs to be perfect.

On the flipside, people who claim he's a great QB should hold him to that standard and not make excuses for him every time he makes a mistake, which frankly, is way more than a so-called upper echelon QB should be making. And it's also the kind of mistakes he makes.

And I'd trade Dak in a heartbeat right now if Buffalo wanted to trade us Allen. As would every other GM in football not named Jones.

Yea, I’d take Allen too.

Hurts and Dak are probably in that next group of QB’s which isn’t necessarily a bad place . Good enough to warrant Market Price QB’s.

Unfortunately QB’s contracts aren’t actually always a pecking order but more about when they signed . The fact Dak went from 14th highest paid to top paid is a perfect illustration .

There’s such a high demand in NFL for Franchise QB’s and not enough to go around . And usually only a handful of Elite QB’s at any given time .

So , we are left with this 2nd tier of QB’s who probably don't warrant their level of contracts. It can be complex and the worth of having a good enough Franchise QB to build around also entails franchise stability.

Once you have a good enough QB to build around it provides these franchises a face to promote a contender for the playoffs which is the initial goal to bring calm and stability .

There’s basically two types of franchises in the NFL. One has a Franchise QB and the other are looking for one . The better they are the easier it is to build around .

You guys do this every time to deflect lol. The good ol “I’d this player for Dak in a heartbeat” argument. An argument no one ever made so let’s deflect lol.

How many mistakes should a top QB make? You would trade for the most mistake prone QB in the league but claim Dak makes too many mistakes lol….i don’t get it but I don’t think I’m suppose to. There are about 7 guys I’d rather have. It’s been proven you can’t win a SB turning the football over so why on earth would I want that?

At 60 mil a season he needs to be a hell of a lot closer to perfect than he is.
