Is Dak elite?

[foofighters]

Arguable imo. He always come thru in the regular season.

Pittsburgh is one of the best defenses in the league, particularly in the red zone. Cousins (500 yards last week) and Herbert couldn't move the ball on them.

And he had 2/3 of a team, including injuries to Cooks, and while the defense played well...it's a challenge to win a game without Parsons and Lawrence. I bet no general football fan predicted us to win without our top 2 defensive players. I'm seeing QBs this year lose a lot when they had injuries...like Stafford, Purdy, etc.

I'd imagine he'd be Top 6 in Mahomes Mountain this week.

That last drive was awesome.... great throw, put it where he trust Tolbert could catch it, and Tolbert caught it.

You answered it in your first sentence. So why ask?

Also, why does it matter? The NFL has plenty of QB's that have won a SB without being elite. It's not required. Is it nice, sure. All this question is nothing more than, "Tastes great." & "Less filling."

They've allowed 20 points and below 4 out of 5 times. Is that league best? I can't imagine anyone else having better.

But yes, guys like BoysForLife is the first to try to explain it away.

You are correct. 73 total points is the lowest after 5 games.

Nope he is still bi-polar Dak. Good finish last night but nowhere consistent enough to be elite.

 

[Shane612]

He did guide the winning drive. That’s good.
.
He did have three bad turnovers . That’s bad.
So, no. He is not elite.

Check out his playoff record. 8)

Dak is an above average QB imo. Elite? No.

 

[BoysForLife]

I'm not going away

That's a shame.

What people don't get is when you are Elite, nobody has to ask it. It is common knowledge and besides the homers on your own team, most fans of other teams also know that you are elite. Do fans of other teams think that Dak is elite, or is it just a subset of Cowboys fans?

Fans of other teams in my area laugh at how gullible Cowboys fans are from year to year. NONE think Dak is elite. Most think he’s average to below average.

Actually without him these are exactly the kind of games Cooper Rush won. Just about any quarterback in the league would have beat that Steelers team last night and doing it without the drama of playing like crap for 58 minutes

Oh, ok.

So how come Herbert only threw for 125 yards vs them and lost to them? Ya know, since it is so easy.

There is only 1 elite QB right now

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Without him, we aren't even in the game let alone winning it.

But keep worrying about the $

3 turnovers keeps you in the game baby!

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

he is not elite. he is a top 10 QB....nothing wrong with that.
I am sure somebody will say he is highest paid so he should be elite, but that means they don't understand how the NFL player market/position market works.

Yep...if only we could rid ourselves of the extreme narratives.

 

[MS17]

Dak is an above average QB imo. Elite? No.

Very fair point. There are words, terms to describe Dak Prescott and "Elite" isn't one of them.

Those are Cowboys haters. Lots of people (non trolls) respect him even if they dont think he's elite.

Lol oh here we go. Last week it was Josh Allen had a bad game.

Y'all stans are a riot

 

[MyFairLady]

If Dak is elite then there are about 15 elite QBs. IMHO you can't say you are elite if you have never accomplished anything.

 

[OGSixshooter]

NO. He's "middle of the pack Dak".

Elite: a select group that is superior in terms of ability or qualities to the rest of a group or society

 

[OGSixshooter]

Cousins probably little better passer.

Fixed your post.
