Greg Cosell's Film Review: Some recent warning signs with Cowboys QB Dak Prescott

[percyhoward]

I take 'em or leave 'em when they're rookie stats. Too many one-hit wonders in the NFL. When these guys grow some hair on their chin, then I pay attention to the numbers.

It's good to post Dak numbers vs Romo's numbers for this year. because it's good for discussion, but that's all I see it as. Discussion.

WG, it's all discussion.

So if Romo comes back in (and im fine either way) and stinks it up because he is rusty does he get a pass to get it straight heading into the playoffs? I say this because even being rusty if he goes one and done again there is no way in hell he'd be able to overcome that and QB here next year.

Tony would not be here next year even if he came back this year and won a SB. He's going to retire or go to Denver. He will not be in Dallas next year, unfortunately. Not going back to Romo when he was healthy is a huge barrier to him returning. The Cowboys know that.

 

[Romotil45]

Lol. Sure fire way to ensure a wall of text isn't read is to open with an insult.

I don't value your opinion, evaluation, or definition any more than my own.

Appreciate you taking the time out to write all that though it was a pleasure to skip

It wasn't intended as an insult don't be so sensitive. Playing at a high level means he is playing with proper fundamentals he is reading the entire field. Has he played well as a rookie game manager yes he has. Many people listen to idiots on media telling a rookie he is playing like a vet or at a " high level" that is exactly why some Rookies do not progress. For example. RG3 should have never been rookie of the year candidate he got " comfortable" in the off season and did not improve his fundamentals. I am critical of Dak " for his own good". That's what good coaches do they get after players a** especially the ones with potential. I would be on Daks a** all year long. He would hate me.

I don't think that would be the case, they don't have to let him go with no compensation and if he won a super bowl his only other option would be retire. We know Jerry makes dumb decisions but Stephen isn't Jerry,he wins he is here, get there and lose, - well different story.

Dak has issues, has regressed in his fundamentals the past month, and played at a high level. He's played at a high level despite some of his deficiencies. They aren't mutually exclusive. Not that I enjoy deferring to others, but Sturm has done an excellent job covering it, in depth and fairly irrefutably imo.

He will be remembered as a QB that had the 3rd highest QBR in history of the league with a dysfunctional Owner/GM and a Head Coach learning on the Job. Even Jerry has admitted he is the one to blame he didn't win one with Romo.

lol.. nobody will care what his QBR was. He will be remembered for having epic choke games during the worst time possible. But you are right about him having a dysfunctional owner and bad head coaches. Except for Parcells.

 

[ufcrules1]

to me maybe I am wrong but a team that goes into your division rival and have the chance towin the division and you lay a egg makes me really nervous about a lot of thing including the qb and the coaching staff

You are correct to worry about the coaching staff. Dak and Zeke have been fading them all year long.

 

[Dodger12]

And Romo got his job taken away by a rookie.
The fact is Romo has led his team to 2 playoff games in a DECADE and has been injured for what amounts to 2 full seasons. He will be remembered as a good qb who was not quite good enough and nothing more.

Your dislike of Romo blinds you from reality. If Kellen Moore never gets hurt, Dak wouldn't see the field. Dak didn't take anything away. He was fortunate due to injuries and he's earned his stay in the line-up because the team is winning.

The cream always rises to the top.. .and that cream is Dak Prescott. Deal with it. He is the QB of you favorite team. Romo is gone next year and will always be remembered for choking in epic ways during the big games. Such is life.

One loss in the last 2 months and people are talking like we're in the middle of sort of Minnesota Vikings losing streak.

It's the play, not the W-L. Had the Cowboys won and the play was the same, the problem would be the same. The guy is a rookie with rookie flaws and a much better QB on the bench. The concern is for the superbowl and blowing the opportunity by hamstringing the team by not playing the players that offer the best chance to win.

Happen to watch last nights game?

You're in denial.

 

[Super_Kazuya]

You're in denial.

He's absolutely correct. We get it, card-carrying Romo haters like you and ufc are thrilled your dreams finally came true. But dreams aren't reality. Nobody had their job taken away. The guy stepped into the easiest job in the league and took advantage of the opportunity.

Dak needs to work harder. Those four incompletions last night were unacceptable.

Pfffft.... he didn't even throw any touchdowns.

Dak had that bounce back game we were talking about last week and your true Romo homer fanboyism shows its self.

You guys kill me. Ask yourself this. Who is the one player we just can't lose? The one player that, if he got injured, our season would just about be a wrap? Anyone that says Dak is either lying or fooling themselves. Zek makes the engine run. He's the MVP on this team. When we have an offensive lull, we all yell for Zek to get the rock, not for Dak to sling it.

Dak played a conservative game and we needed the D to play lights out with the exception of one stretch and a tipped ball TD. I'll take it. But I'm not going to fool myself and see things with Dak that aren't there yet. That doesn't mean that he can't get there and, as I said earlier, I'm not convinced this conservative approach isn't on the coaching staff. But I do know we all but dominated the game and the Bucs still had a shot to win it at the end. Thank the D, not Dak.

Romo is done and your long winded arguments become increasingly more pointless. And by the way, Dak > Romo. Yes, I went there.

No losing Dak would hurt as much as losing Zeke because we'd have an aging injury prone QB replacing him. We'd probably have Sanchez playing in a game or two.
