ESPN: Dak Prescott looks ready for the season, but defense shows cracks

[SDCowboy]

Dak's pass to Witten was much better than the Williams throw! Surrounded by Raiders.

Tweet from a guy who fancies himself a QB guru:
Dak Prescott's Ceiling is Tom Brady or Peyton Manning if he develops a Touch on his passing

Agree?

Conversation w him:
Jerry Jones is the type of Owner who would trade Dak Prescott for a Top 5 Pick in the draft and grab a QB... I wouldn't blame him either

Dak Prescott's Ceiling is Tom Brady or Peyton Manning if he develops a Touch on his passing but QBs in upcoming draft Potential through roof


Can Dak become a perfect Mechanical QB? Or will he always just be 5-10QB in the NFL? Or roll dice for a Top 5 QB? Jerry that kinda Risky

Me:
If that's his ceiling, then why wouldn't you blame Jerry for trading him? You're also wrong about Jerry being a risky owner

Him:
Not many QBs reach their ceiling. Next draft has some QBs with amazing potential, so if Jerry was risky i wouldn't blame him.

Me:
Drafting a QB that high is a risk that JJ hasn't taken since 1989. JJ likes Roma, Dak type: get them cheap, pay them big when they prove Themselves

Him:

Probably correct. I'd personally stick with Dak and try improve him each year.

Would you deal him for top 5? Can he reach his potential? Would you be satisfied if he tops out at mere 5-10 QB?

Care to tell us who this QB guru is?

This defense will get better as the year goes along. Lots of youth that are still learning.

 

[Gameover]

They are a very good football team.

Got to do a better job at their place!

He actually really likes Dak. Said Broncos(his team) would've won the SB if they had Dak last season. He doesn't like Paxton Lynch.

Ok, but who is he?

 

[Irvin88_4life]

how are they better this year?

You replaced McClain with Paea and Claiborne with Carroll. I expect Maliek Collins to be a little better but that's about it.

So no Moore or Taco, Jaylon, Tapper, Scandrick, all the guys in the secondary. This defense is young and the guys still on the team from last year will improve.

You said Byron hasn't improved? What games and practices are you watching. Jones could be our best defensive player or at least top 3 on the team

Yeah there's going to be some bumps in the road early on. The team this year is probably going to require a little patience to fully enjoy, which means most people here are going to be absolutely miserable.

if they can find a way to beat NY and the Rams they should be ok weathering the suspensions. If they were to beat Denver that would be pretty great.

I do think the defense will have some growing pains early but hopefully they will figure out the personnel and still be in it in the east after halloween.

That seriously has to be the dumbest thing ever said about Jerry Jones. Jerry LOVES QBs, especially a young franchise QB.

Has Jerry every traded a starting QB? Ever? No.

The only legit starter he ever traded away is considered by many the best lopsided trade (walker) of all time.

After watching the replay of the game, two things struck me about Dak beyond him continuing to look great.

One, his arm strength is night and day improved over last year.

Two, without the threat of Zeke in the run game (and in this game, almost no run game period for the 1st team once Zeke went out early) it didn't hinder Dak one bit. Obviously Zeke is a huge asset, but Dak has shown he can be a volume passer also.

 

[Doomsday]

they threw a bunch of slants and cooper is an incredible player and just left no time for jones to recover.

That is an excellent raiders offense and the defense held its own for the most part.

So what is your excuse on the first TD letting a guy run up the seam for an easy 20 yard TD? Like I said it is preseason but these zones haven't looked good

No excuses, the raiders have an outstanding offense and will score a ton of points.

if you thought the 85 bears were going to show up or something you need to adjust your expectations.

Agreed. Will be tough Dec game!

 

[Don Corleone]

I'm suspicious and skeptical of Byron Jones. He isn't living up to his draft status so far. He seems like a huge liability.
