I started to have hope for Dak

[Whirlwin]

If Dak (and staff) needs "Qb competition" to make Dak better....we're doomed. If that's the assessment, then you just need to move on already.

Playing for the Dallas Cowboys, BIG time money, ...if that doesn;t motivate you....then I don;t want ya.

These people are pressing, looking for any answer at all. When it’s right in front of their face. It’s the franchise. It’s not the quarterback. It’s not the coach. It’s not the players. It’s Jerry.

When you have to cross your fingers because you don't know how your QB is going to play, it's a recipe for disaster. I fell for it too. I don't think Cincinnati and KC have this problem.

After Tampa, I thought “hey he might just pull an Eli Manning”

I don’t remember Eli having big names the super bowls he won, and we had a few.

To me Eli was very average and he still managed to step up.

Dak just can’t do it. He’s just not that guy

I just hope Jerry does not look at the money and continue to ride this guy. We need to look at the draft, FA ect

Because the way our D played any other QB comes away with points. Even if it’s just 3

Eli finished his career in top 10 in TD’s and yards in NFL history. Historically we could present an argument he was more than average .

And we could also argue he performed and produced when on the biggest stages winning MVP in both of his Super Bowls.

He was on an average team most of his career and still produced such NFL stats. While he often looked average especially in games against us his career stats and results would beg to differ.

It can be both. Jerry is the bigger problem. I don't think he can find an elite QB to save his life. Replacing Dak isn't going to solve the biggest problem with this franchise. On the other hand Dak is the one most responsible for that loss Sunday. Even if we won, he's too inconsistent to be able to win a SB.

Here you go, blaming a quarterback again . The team is in consistent. The most ridiculous thing in the world anyone can do in the sport is blame one or two people.

For that game, yes. It was there for the taking.

No, those teams with the Elite QB’s don’t . But unfortunately most or the rest of the league does.

I know many fans want to compare Prescott to the Elite QB’s because of his contract and hype which I’d argue was mismanaged by our dysfunctional ownership but I’d suggest he should be compared more to the rest of the leagues QB’s in talent level and passing skills. And probably expectations.

 

[Whirlwin]

For that game, yes. It was there for the taking.

2.5 yards running average. yes the 49ers are not as good as everyone thinks they are it was there for the taking. We weren’t just good enough to take it. Could Prescott have played better. Yes that still doesn’t mean we would’ve won. Do you think the playcalling would’ve been a little different to make up for the running game? The franchise sucks.

 

[jwitten82]

I don't think you can be one dimensional vs SF.

They thought they had the OL to a point where they could run the ball against a SF when Steele was at RT.

That injury hurt us a lot but thankfully we had Tyron. Just not as good in the run game.

49erd were one dimensional and still won

Well I do agree with you that the franchise does suck and Jerry didn't do Dak any favors getting rid of Cooper and not replacing him with anybody. The running game was nil after Pollard went out. But Dak wasn't playing great when Pollard was in and he missed the receivers he did have by a mile. He just had that deer in the headlight look from the beginning. He's just too inconsistent.Do I think replacing him with another QB is going to change the big picture around here? No. I think this franchise is cursed as long as Jerry and Stephen are running things. We haven't been to a championship game in 27 years. You have to be really snake bitten to do that.

 

[jwitten82]

Ya they all ignored it.

It made Dak's performance look amazing on Sunday.

And I'm not bagging on Aikman...it happens to the best of them

Everyone should go look at all of Brady's playoff clunkers...he had some doozies.

Lol this crazy, by Aikman and Brady's first 7 seasons, they earned the leeway they got
Aikman first 7 seasons: 3 time Superbowl champion, 10-1 playoff record.

Tom Brady first 7 seasons: 3 time Superbowl champion, 12-2 playoff record

Daks 7 seasons: no championships, 2-4 playoff record.
Geez I wonder why Dak doesn't get the same leeway as them

 

[Ken]

Dak over Dallas fans are the worst.

You will throw a 3 time Super Bowl champ under the bus for Dak.

Go on and tell us how you're a Cowboys fan.

Read what I wrote again and sit down.

Now list all of the HOFers they played with.

Then list Daks.

Thanks.

I read it again and my point stands.

I can't wait for you trolls to follow Dak to wherever he becomes the backup in a couple years.

If you support Dak as the starting QB for the Cowboys you're not a Cowboys fans. In fact, you're more than likely a fan of another team that wants to see the Cowboys continue to fail.

 

[jgboys1]

Our defense was playing good enough to beat SF, but Dak couldn't make the throw or keep the drive alive if his life depended on it. I seen him come up small in big spots too many times and I am done with him! You expect more when you are paying your QB 40 million a year, soon to be 52 million.

Yes bc it is all Dak's fault.

Been a Dallas fan since probably before you were alive.

Tell me again how I am a Dak over Dallas fan.

You can make anything up, like "I've been a Dallas fan since before you were alive".

There's no way you can be a Cowboys fan and talk that way about Aikman in support of Dak.

There's no way you can support Dak being the starting QB for the Cowboys AND want to see the Cowboys succeed. It's a conflict of interest, because both of those things can't happen.

That's why you're Dak over Dallas. That's why I think you will follow Dak wherever he goes.

I didn't make up the 96 Division playoff game. It actually happened.

That was the start of our playoff futility.

Sorry if that bothers you.

 

[acr731]

How did Aikman do his first 2 years and last 4 career years when he didn't have weapons around him and a good Oline in front of him? Why didn't Aikman with his talent carry the team or make players around him better during those years?

The same goes for Romo.

Even they needed good weapons, a good Oline and good coaches/playcalling to help them win.

O'line was blocking fine on both INT's..........

Next excuse.

 

[DillusionalFans]

With the offensive line & run game and receivers Dak had his first few years, any QB would have looked good. Of course Jerry thought he had “outsmarted” the NFL by drafting Dak in the 4th round (same with promoting Garrett to head coach), which stared his over-hyping the Boys to feed his ego. Now with slightly-above average talent on offense, Dak’s true talents are exposed.
