[Whirlwin]

I agree but you have to understand we lost our starting wide receiver tight end and Center. That took a while to recover from that

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Those...are still anonymous people on the internet. I am linking you to a site made up of people who do this stuff for a living - thus, the bias is left at the door.

Everyone on this forum watching Dak play every week during the football season, yet there are various opinions on him. Why? Because of biases and people who lack understanding of the game. It's absolutely no difference with Eagles fans or football fans in general.

I cited sources, you're telling me to go talk to random anonymous Eagles fans. Do better, this ain't it chief.

Ok go to Philly and ask them in person then since you have a problem believing people on the internet.

In regards to this forum.........I'm not going to blame the posters on this site for the moronic views you and your ilk have of him. A lot of people are trolling or just trying to rile up members. For instance, you are the genius who made a thread saying Dak should be suspended because his dog bit someone. And there are others who stoop to your level and do the same. I'm not telling you to ask Philly fans equivalent to your trolling I'm asking you to actually ask someone who watches him play. I'm asking you to put in a little work though I know its easier for you to troll then it is for you to actually do research.

 

[CowboyRoy]

We are very lucky to find him in the 4 the round and he is a bargain at his current salary. But are you ok if he gets 128 mil and we can't keep Jaylon Smith and Awuzie and lose one oline players and Zeke is gone.

Zeke I don't mind. The rest I don't think you lose at all.

 

[America's Cowboy]

I didn’t realize your opinions of every player were so unbiased. Lol, calling me a cheerleader?! You might want to think twice about calling out other people for “cheerleading” before you make your love affair with Romo public.

Huh??? Lay off them drugs.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Should be a good season to watch and a lot of answers should be addressed, A lot of talent on the team now, no excuses, it will be a make or break year for Dak, great viewing and a lot of answers should be answered..

A make or break year for Dak? That was said exactly a year ago.

Guess what? Dak made it last year. He's here to stay. Accept it. Get ready because that long-term hefty contract is coming.

 

[Hadenough]

Zeke I don't mind. The rest I don't think you lose at all.

I would be ok losing Zeke too! But the way this organization does things they will keep Zeke and cut the money towards the defensive side of the ball.

Last year was the make or break year but I honestly think this year is a how much year. If Dak plays well he will get his 5 year 25- 28 mil a year contract. He is going to have to show he is a 4.2k yard passer and have 30 passing TDs. If he has a 3300 yd passing season and throws 21 TDs hes looking at a 5 year 18 mil a year contract.

H.E., I would agree to those numbers. Sounds fair. Only problem I see is Jerry going ahead and giving Dak a new contract before this season starts. I personally would have no problem either way as to when Dak gets paid, but I seriously doubt Dak would want to play this season on his last rookie deal making less than $500k while risking injury, which would affect his new contractural full potential if he did come down with a serious injury during this 2019 season.

Sometimes these deal get worked out during the season. You may be right! I think there is a lot riding on this season because Garrett is under heavy evaluation along with the rest of the staff.

 

[Swagger]

I find it difficult to comprehend how people actually count Prescott as having two Pro-Bowls.

Pretty much nobody else was available or wanted to play in it last season.

Mitch Tribusky made the same Pro-Bowl!

If last year proved anything it is Dak's deficiency's and his total reliance on other players to carry him. The FO may give him that long term deal, Jerry has done that in the past hence the 23 year drought. It would be shear stupidity to give Dak any contract changes at this point, your heart is big for Dak but Jerry like you lives in a fantasy land so nothing is off the table.

 

[glimmerman]

The guy makes plays. He is a gamer. In the 4th quarter with the game on the line he makes the plays.

Now a case could be made that if he didn’t miss wide open recievers on occasion or take a sack here and there that wasn’t necessary then he wouldn’t have to be clutch at the end. I am waiting to see if that part of his game improves. I wouldn’t sign him long term till next year. But that’s just me. JJ has seen enough and is sold on him so like it or not he will be here.

 

[America's Cowboy]

I've been following this team for 36 yrs a few more years of Phoney Prescott isn't much. Any way I am having too much fun trolling you people who are devoid of reality

At least you have the guts to admit you are "trolling", which btw is against forum rules.

Jerry knows how to run a business, buy it for $300 million, turn it into the highest valued franchise at an estimated value of over $7 billion in only 30 years, win at least 3 Super Bowls...with more a coming, and still have your loyalty and interest since you are here talking about them.

I'm honored to be mentioned in the same line with Mr. Jerry Jones.

 

[Yobwocs]

That's too base of a statement for anyone to really wrap their heads around. He's made lots of plays last year on his own. They were his plays - don't take it away from him. He wasn't carried.

While he may not be every coach's choice for best QB, every coach right now knows that he can make the plays to beat you. Over half the coaches in this league have felt the effect of being beat by a Dak Prescott led offense. He's beaten over half the coaches, first of all. They respect him, and they pretty much all agree that he's a legitimate threat in this league. Cue all the replies that's gonna be like: "The Rams didn't respect him enough to not put 10 in the box to stop Zeke and make Dak beat you with his arm." Like football is so simple. Come on now. That's the baseness I don't like from Dak detractors.

Are you referring to Dak Prescott Tim Tebow?

 

[Falco78]

Dude, I’m all for talking up our QB but it’s a bit of a stretch to say that he has had as much or even more success than Goff. Wentz I’ll give you, but only because he hasn’t finished a season.

Record/stats give a majority of it to Dak. Not all, but a lot of it...

Not too hard, Dak had a few good plays but the poor ones are much more prevalent than the great ones, Dak needs great players around him to help him elevate his game,(Truly great players elevate the player around them) . Your Statement "He's beaten over half the coaches" says a lot, he gets credit not the team when in reality it's the other way around so your bias is self evident. .
As for the Rams game, took away Zeke and the rest is history as he couldn't beat them with his arm talent. This is apparent if you just look at it with out blinders. I would rather have a QB that elevates the players around him not have to fill every offensive roster spot with great players to prop up the QB. You obviously feel a average QB with accuracy issues among other is just the ticket for winning a super bowl. Hopefully Dak can improve in all areas. If you believe Dak can carry this team hopefully next season he will begin to show it because as of now he hasn't. Zeke is the engine that drives the team Dak is just along for the ride to this point.

Absolutely. It's why there's even a debate. Through the first three quarters, his numbers are only slightly above average. You could make the case that 20 other QB could perform at that level or better in this offense.

1st-3rd quarter, 2016-18
1 Mahomes 111.4
2 Ryan 106.3
3 Brees 105.6
4 Brady 102.6
5 Rivers 100.5

13 Prescott 94.6

But tied or trailing late in a close game, nobody has been better.

4th quarter or OT, tied or trailing by 8 or less
1 Prescott 110.5
2 Roethlisberger 110.2
3 Luck 109.1
4 Watson 108.2
5 Brees 105.5


1st-3rd quarter, 2018 only
1 Brees 114.7
2 Mahomes 113.7
3 Wilson 110.7
4 Rivers 105.1
5 Ryan 103.9

11 Prescott 97.5

4th quarter or OT, tied or trailing by 8 or less, 2018 only
1 Ryan 128.0
2 Prescott 124.8
3 Goff 113.8
4 Wentz 110.9
5 Mariota 108.9


All lists are from a sample of the 32 QB with the most attempts over that time period, including playoffs

For the purpose of comparison, from 2007-11 Eli Manning had a 103.9 rating (1st) while tied or trailing by 8 points or less in the 4th quarter or OT. His rating for the first three quarters those seasons was 86.0 (17th).
