But I just can't. Dak has obviously flashed some top shelf ability at times in his career but going on 9 years in the league all he really has accomplished are some humiliating bad performances in the few playoff appearances he's made. I won't get into the horrible contract extension he received here.

The worst part is he's been injury prone and obviously regressing from an ability standpoint. In his last 8 games he's 3-5 with a 45 QBR. My point is he was never enough and he's not getting better. So is Pickens better than Cooks, yea of course he is but is he that much better that he makes that kind of difference in Dak's play? Is Tyler Booker better than Zach Martin? The point I'm making is that I don't think you can make enough good moves on the offensive side that drastically changes the one thing that ultimately determines the outcome of games and that's Dak himself. I obviously hope I am wrong but I don't think I am.

As a Tennessee fan Milton ain't it either, more upside than Rush yes but he's a Temu Dak.

Dak's rookie year, 2016 season he earned trust starting there. He lost and was robbed by the refs against Green Bay. That should have been a win and against a team next that he had already beaten in the NFC Championship.

One or two wins in the playoffs there and he would still have a winning record in the playoffs right now. Fact,

That Green Bay being a win would put him at 3 wins in 5 games right now...

Sadly, this is the reality.

He's an immobile, injury prone QB and to make matters worse he is regressing with age. Shoot, he tried to run for 9 yards only to get injured for 9 months! :facepalm: :lmao:

:laugh:What would you like us to do with this information?
 
Let me save everybody from pages of reading. The response from the "Dak plunge protection team" will be: two years ago when he had eight all pros, if he would have had thirteen more, you would be eating those words.
 
i know of 6-8 certain people that will participate - and they aint gonna be happy when they see this topic.
A predicted number of unhappy folks would participate in a thread opposite this one. Quarterback threads have been hot topics on CowboysZone since day one, regardless of the wording of the OP.
 
As we all know, seeing and believing are two different things.

The bottom line is Prescott may be the luckiest player in NFL history to be awarded this massive contract.

He would be a backup quarterback with a lot of teams. Dak is just another quarterback not named Mahomes, Burrow, etc.
 
Proof is in the pudding. Greatness = consistency at the highest level on a repeated basis. You can’t learn how to be great and this is what separates the elites from the good ones. Dak is a good one who needs everything to work in order to excel. Can he be part of a SB season…sure, Dilfer did it so he can do it to but is this team has to get it done for Dak to be a part of it. So with that, I will let Dak’s track record all the way back to college speak for itself and hope for the best.

The offensive line will be improved and Dak has 2 great WRs. Our running game will be improved and our TEs are adequate to good. This is the season Dak proves the haters right or the homers right because no one will be able to argue he is not supported. Me personally I hope Dak has another all pro season because that will mean we’re competitive. I just hope he doesn’t suffer a season ending injury.

I wouldn’t be so quick to flush Milton down the toilet. His NFL film looks decent. Let’s give him a chance.
 
When the 2025 season kicks off in September, Dak Prescott will be chasing three Dallas Cowboys’ franchise regular-season passing records.

Assuming no injuries, he should easily surpass all three marks and fairly early in the campaign at that. Especially now that he has a legitimate WR2 in George Pickens to throw to.

If he starts the full year, he’ll draw considerably closer to two other categories as well.

To get one of the two, he’ll merely need to start at quarterback.

Yup, this is going to be an interesting season coming up. Dak has missed time in the 3 of the last 5 seasons. But he also played 2 of his best years in those last 5 seasons. He'll be 32 this year
That’s a good point. His two best years came off injury.

So, this is his chance (probably, his last chance depending on the details on when he can be cut).
Give him a chance in 2025 (with weapons, running game, protection) and see whether it's time to move on (with a draft geared at improving defense), or accept that he's not going to get us to where we want to be....and his contract is a millstone.
