He can’t even have two good games in a row. I use to be a HUGE Dak supporter but I’ve seen him for what he is. He does not make a single difference in games. Cooper Rush made this VERY clear. He may not be better than Geno Smith.


Mahomes
Jackson
Hurts
Burrow
Herbert
Allen
Trevor Lawerence
Rodgers
Stafford

All demonstrably better quarterbacks than him that can win actual defenses in the playoffs.
He’s not Elite but he’s good enough to lead us to the playoffs.

He’s just over hyped and over paid. And not enough to carry us against better defenses if rest of team isn’t performing well.

It is what it is. Most teams in the league have to build around less than Elite QB’s.

You could go throughout the history of the Cowboys and find a list of better players at every position.

The stupidity here has reached a sad place.

Hes top 10 still yes after even with soem late season mistakes,

cooper rush did absolutely nothing to make any type of statement. daks clearly better then rush and no debate form the peanut gallery can change this.

Rush if you break down each game was barely steering the bus let alone driving it with that supporting cast which BTW broke down after dak got back and no way shape or form could Rush have won most any of those games with NO RUN GAME, Shaky OL, skill players have passes bounce of their hands, sts fumbling, bobbling and broken-down ie Mahers ..

rush played with the team playing elite and still couldn't score point bottom 10 in 3rd down % and scoring and you think Rush made statement? yes any qb including Dak could have won those games and give n that Washington game rush threw 2 INts called back but still threw them, Rams game might as well took a vacay and still fumbled the ball twice lucky agin to get those back( we could have won that game playing wildcat with no QB), 3 Ints in the eagles game.. he had the best of the best stretch in team pay down that stretch and still looked like a backup..

that 100% Facts and rlaity. Dak comes back and immediately gets our offense back top 5 in total scoring, RZ scoring, and 3rd down %..

Rush could not have handled the position after the team broke down especially up front with no run game.

if yiou think so you need a new drug. Those shrooms are hitting you hard, FACT is Dak easily wins those games and by a larger margin given the exact same scenario that wen down in those games. on the flip side Rush would have got killed...

Daks still a top 10 QB hes not typically a INT thrower

His 166 tds 65 ints plus 26 Rushing tds for his career after 97 games and Pmanning had 167 tds 117 ints and only 10 rushing td, Daks number across the board are equal or better including the playoff record at 2-4 but dak had 11 tds and 5 int in the playoffs to Peytons 10td-6 INt

Ironic huh??

the hate for moir own payer who in fact wasn't the worse qb in the playoffs with Turnovers Allen and Trevor were the same or worse..

also a fact top 5 highest paid 2022 qbs didn't even make the playoffs, also Fact Daks being highly and over critisized for issues breaking down around him.

Ive never seen so many INT that came from a ball being tipped at the line, tipped off of receivers hands, having his arm hit or jersey grabbed as he was throwing , and receivers getting pushed off their routes or running bad routes all leading to that unusually high amount of INts and have the QB blamed for them all without actually breaking them down and realize HALF of them were just pain not his fault.

that all this pace does talk about the its we can clearly go back and break down each one and find 50% of them were OTHER issues involved and then not mention how the offense was top 5 in scoring, red zone scoring and 3rd down % most of the games Dak came back and played down the stretch.. all positive..
Desperation = comparing Dak to Peyton Manning and attempting to say Dak is better.

Coaching matters as well as talent and how the team is playing as whole matter more.. Rush had all the advantages and till barely kept the offense functional, Dak played when the OL started breaking down, run game all but disappeared most games, special teams started making mistakes, and defense had some games they got ran over and allowed a lot more points, and skill players having some of the blame for many of those Interceptions. Injuires etc stred the shaky pay as team and Dak suffered for it and yet fans just wont see it or dont want to see it.

Also leaving out that Manning had 2 MVPs, 2 other top 5 MVP finishes, and led his team to two AFC Championship games in his first 7 seasons adds to the desperation.

Oh, and next year is year 8 for Dak. You know what Manning did in year 8? He finished 2nd in MVP voting and the Colts won the Super Bowl.

I'll account bet anyone here that Dak doesn't do that next season. Any of you Dak believers wanna take me up on that?

There are two conclusions I have come to about Dak Prescott and these forums.

One, he is not as good as his fans say he is.

Two, he is not as bad as his detractors say he is.

There is actually a third but this relates to all of the players.

There is no connection between a player and what he is paid and he is not accountable for his contract or cap hit, that is all on management.

How ever the blame can be placed on the QB, that's the typical contributions here. With the occasional ultra-homeriffic.

You don't watch or understand football if you think, at this moment, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Stafford, Lamar Jackson, and/or Justin Herbert are better.

I'd argue with Trevor Lawerence but that's about the line.

He's not. Next question........

Other than winning 4 out of 5 games when all the Dak homies were predicting 0-5. But yeah, he didn't accomplish a damn thing.

Really? Stafford and Jackson are hurt but yea they're better than Dak. Dak is not as good as he used to be. We'll see what Rodgers does next year but I bet a lot of teams will try to get him as their QB.

Jackson is a better running QB... That's fair. But not a better NFL QB.
Stafford fell into a perfect situation... coaching that could even make Baker look good and elite weapons everywhere. Stafford and Dak are in the same ballpark, but with the injuries, I'd take Dak over Stafford.
