I got to give credit to Dak

[Whirlwin]

no, i dont think so. lee goes back 50 yrs with this team, i think he might just be frustrated like most of us. he's a good egg, bro.

Give everybody the benefit of the doubt, it’s the Cowboys, totally frustrating. Never personal, just attacking the words.

I'm just trying to be fair.
No- I don't think Prescott should be in the NFL.
However, he played pretty steady in the loss to Detroit.
If he had simply played that well over the past nine seasons, there wouldn't be near as many complaints about him.
But I am willing to call it like I see it, and the last game Dak hung in there and kept trying.
He's nowhere near being worth what he's paid, but he payed like a solid backup quarterback in that game.

he shouldn’t be in the NFL. He’s better than at least 28 of the other starters.

So you came here to say Dak should not be in the NFL? I am as critical as anybody about him, but that is a ridiculous take. The only potential validity you would have is if the league condensed down to 10 teams, then you could have a back-and-forth debate...

gotta have fun with Lee's posts, they can be a bit outlandish. But since Kellen doesnt play anymore it kinda toned down.

There have been worse quarterbacks inthe league; Charlie Whitehurst comes to mind.
The NFL is certainly not the final word in talent evaluation.
But Dak is the Cowboys quarterback, and he has had Super Bowl quality rosters, only to fall short.
But if he is finally improving, maybe the Cowboys can actually win a game versus a quality opponent.
He apparently has the learning curve of a sloth, though.
I think there is more going on behind the scenes, but for now, fair is fair. He looked better vs the Lions than he has in the past.
He's gotten a lot of outside help in the past versus the Lions, so maybe it gave him false confidence.

Last game, even though it was a loss, Dak only got loopy on one play- the screen pass/lateral he threw under pressure.
But the rest of the game, Dak looked like a quarterback. He didn't get happy feet and throw the errant interceptions he usually does when he gets nervous.
The interceptions he threw were because the receivers were tightly covered and the bounce went against the Cowboys. The Lions were sitting on the slant routes because they knew the Cowboys like them.
That's on the coaching, not Dak.
If he can keep his poise the Cowboys might actually win a game against a good team.

"If he can keep his poise the Cowboys might actually win a game against a good team."

He beat the last two SB champions back-to-back in a five-day period.

Of course, a "good" team is a matter of perception, realistic contenders, perhaps?

I think the Chargers are a realistic contender.

The Chiefs play the Chargers this weekend in Kansas City. The Chargers then play the Cowboys in AT&T.

That should give us the opportunity to see if Dak can help the Cowboys defeat their next......and probably last... "good" team.

I guess KC and Philly were crap teams. But whatever fits the narrative.

I don't believe the Eagles game was kosher.
Do you really believe that the Eagles suddenly couldn't defend Dak's air balls? Or that the Chiefs overpowered the Colts? Both games were played the week before the Chiefs met the Cowboys on Thanksgiving??
If there's ever been a setup- and there has- this was a setup.

 

[Ranching]

Great job, there hoss. You managed to praise and bash Dak in one big swoop.

He could have just said, Dak is really good at sucking....

Wow. This is progress for you. Nice to see.

If that type of behavior was ever proven in court....if I was ever thoroughly convinced that NFL games were indeed, routinely rigged in the manner you describe......I would never watch another NFL game.

If you are convinced, why would you still watch?

Long time fan, right? I get the frustration. Long gone are the days you can stack a team good enough for a QB like Craig Morton can lead them to a SB.

How many SB rosters did Dak have? Two tops? You know, other teams have SB rosters too. They also want to win. Everyone can't win. The last time we were the best team in the NFC, arguably, was 2007. Never since. So complaining that Dak didn't take this team above and beyond expectations is a bit much, don't you think?

He's a bad muther(shut your mouth). Best shape...but to late.

Cowboys...losers. Hey! Maybe next year? Yeah...that's the ticket.

Bro missed CeeDee Lamb and other open WRs early in the game. At least he didn't throw the ball directly to the other team. Progress of a sort.

Was watching a 1975 game with Staubach at QB today. It was against Washington with Billy Kilmer at QB, and the announcers said they were the top two QBs in the league. Both teams were 8-4 and the winner was going to advance to the playoffs.

Now, I know that it was a different time, but during the quarter I've watched so far, Staubach made at least three bad overthrows in a 0-0 game with Dallas having trouble moving the ball. About the only positive yardage for the Cowboys was Staubach using his legs. However, we had one of the top defenses in the league and they turned Washington away time after time.

Nowadays, Staubach would be getting torn apart for how he was playing, but we remember him for the great QB that he was BECAUSE he had the defense to overcome poor play. He was Captain America/Captain Comeback because he was given the opportunity to do that, to overcome any rough periods or outings.

Again, it was a different era where QBs weren't relied on as much as they are now, but I've watched plenty of old games where Staubach kind of stunk but the run game or defense bailed him out. We often had one of the top defenses then and in the early 1990s, and it's no coincidence that those were our Super Bowl years and both QBs from those periods are in the Hall of Fame.
