Dak vs Jordan Love going forward

[Boysdaboys]

I realize one year is never enough. We can't tell the future. Things change. Based on his mechanics and decision making, do you think this guy will be better than Dak moving forward? Ignoring age and contracts. Just strictly on the field affect.

Maybe these are unwarranted fears. However, I can't shake this feeling GB may have somehow found another franchise QB capable of winning a SB.

I am hoping he will just be a Baker Mayfield/Jimmy G caliber QB.

He's already better. The Cowboys need to move on from Dak. 8 years same results. Time to try to find a guy that can win when the lights get the brightest otherwise we are all just wasting time. This is the most hollow 12-5 team you'll ever see. Total waste of time really.

Didn’t people this time last year say Hurts was better only now realizing Hurts was a one hit wonder and Dak is still better.

He's already better than Dak, which isn't saying much.

 

[khiladi]

Dak fans have been living off one year, 2016, his whole career to justify him be the starting QB. They move to ignore 2017 with the Seke suspension and 2018 without Amari for example. They love to ignore his 2020 7 TOs in 4 games.

 

[TheSport78]

Love is already better. Dak stat pads in a bad division and against the bottom feeders. Love played well against top defenses like KC and Pittsburgh. Prescott is an atrocity and Jerry is too dumb and blind to see because “jersey sales” and “leadership.” Clown.

Hurts was much better last year, which is why they ended up in the SB. But many thought Hurts was worse than Dak, like myself, before last year as he was awful. The jury is still out, but Hurts has a better release and much quicker and throws better. He was great in the SB going toe to toe with Mahomes.

And it’s easy to make the case Hurts of THIS year was much better than 2017 Dak too.

Dak is good but he doesn't have the "IT" factor to win playoffs right now. He is already aging as well. Going to command a huge contract. Character guy but he can't get overpaid.

The Jones are going to prove you wrong... on the overpaid argument.

Except a more fair comp if you really wanted to do that would be 2019/2020 Dak and last years Hurts (as opposed to looking at a player’s 2nd year and comparing it to his 4th). Spoiler in that comp, Hurts looks worse.

We have seen 4 years of Hurts and in only 1 of them has he looked like a franchise QB.

 

[Cowboy_svt]

Pretty crazy, thought Love sucked since hes been in the league even during this season then he just flipped a switch.

Same can be said about Dak going into yea 9. Cooper Rush is 5-1 with essentially the same roster.

Hurts was basically equivalent or worse than Dak. Hurts had nearly double the turnovers of Dak. Last years superbowl Hurts pretty much lost that game for them when he dropped the ball and they picked it up for the TD.

Go back and look at the scouting reports and draft chatter on Love prior to the 2020 draft. Everybody agreed he had an extremely high ceiling, great tools, etc. You even saw the term "Baby Maholmes" thrown around. The negative was he was raw as hell and had played poorly his final year at Utah State - for reasons hotly debated by scouts and front offices.

Looks like sitting on the bench for 3 years allowed him to refine his game and maximize his physical gifts.

Dak has never had physical tools like Love. Dak HAS maximized the tools he has however.

 

[CrownCowboy]

There is no comparison between the two as far as arm talent is concerned. That was obvious after their first drive.

Don’t know how his career will pan out but Love has an impressive arm.

 

[khiladi]

Jordan Love has the youngest WR core by far and they are the 4th youngest team in NFL history and youngest team this year. This TD throw was absolutely insane. Hardly a case of bad defense, just an elite throw.



the real beauty is seen at 40 seconds when he makes the free blitzer jump and he still releases it 40 yards on a flick of a wrist and hits him in stride. Wasn’t even phased with the 3rd and 7 blitz and the free rusher.

Can see many a— whippings for the boys.

NO and IDC..why ask ? You all do remember that Prescott his rookie year with no time on the bench no time to learn fourth round pick 13 and 3 rookie of the year played very well against Green Bay they lost because the defense the next year we lost because the defense we lost this year mostly because of the defense I mean there's other problems along the offensive line no run game no help and here we are keep making ridiculous comps on how to get rid of Prescott to improve the team when you know that's gonna be quite the opposite in my opinion

just like all this talk giving CJ Stroud so much credit look the kid looks great he's done very well but his defense has also been great his coaching has been top notch their game plans especially on defense but also he has weapons but it isn't anything Prescott didn't do I mean if Prescott would have had that kind of defensive effort in his first playoff game he would have won I mean why are we having these conversations I realized it's eight years later but we were just talking about Prescott at least being considered an MVP this year and now you're trying to compare him to other players around the league for what all you've been doing is dogging the Cowboys for three days now listen this team collapsed from inside out because of defense because of the offensive line the run game Prescott first interception you gonna blame that on him Brandon cooks got ran through his back by the defensive back also grabbed his shoulder and pulled him to get the leverage to get that interception and it wasn't called and we can live with that but that's not on Prescott and they were talking about breaking down the other interception where there was a breakdown in communication he threw the ball where he thought the receiver was gonna break he never broke to that spot and it got intercepted..

it happens we've seen quarterbacks all the time make mistakes in games last year Trevor Lawrence and Josh Allen both had over 3 turnovers in their games and their teams won I saw Matthew Stafford lead the league in interceptions and then in the Super bowl he throws 2 and they still won this is a team problem not a quarterback problem.

I mean you want to have a real conversation let's talk about the rest of the team especially the defense that's the problem here more so than ever go break down all the losses this year and then also go breakdown the Seattle Seahawks game and you tell me how a quarterback is expected to play perfect and have to score on every drive and not punt in order to in a game that's the problem it's been more of the defense they don't trust the defense so much they start pressing on offense and start forcing the football... The offense almost has to get out of its game plan so fast to make up for bad defense it's incredible we're having all these talks about quarterbacks how about let's talk about linebackers and defensive lineman and safeties and all the wrong defenses being called and played big block like they were playing 11 on seven against us last Sunday our defense looked lost they look like 4 men short...
