Is Dak elite?

[5Stars]

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

How do you expect her to know what elite means when she can't even spell Cowboys backwards! lmao

 

[garyo1954]

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

Words like poor man's Danny White comes to mind.

Jeff George like.
Jekyll and Hyde-ish

 

[IceStar-D7]

As with any other quarterback...AT TIMES he is......not even Mahomes bats 1.000

 

[Chasing6]

The myth about being an elite QB is you have to win a SB first. Teams win SB's, not QB's.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Dak is the highest paid player in NFL history. Thats elite.

 

[tyke1doe]

He is to inconsistent to be elite, IMO. Very good, but not elite.

Well said.

 

[Steve007]

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.

Pump the brakes. No, he isn't elite. You will see by the end of the season.

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

Our days of being hated are long gone. 28 years will do that. We are nothing more than the laughing stock of the nfl.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Dak is the highest paid player in NFL history. Thats elite.

Or Idiotic...

 

[BHendri5]

Yes He is

 

[Rayman70]

Mahomes is elite and thats about it. But Dak is really good. Thats fine.

"Danny White comes to mind."
gary--yes, except Dak cannot punt.

 

[Pantone282C]

No, elite means it shouldn’t have come to the last drive.

If you mean he was creating turnovers, yeah, he had to have a last minute drive to overcome the mistakes.

Good point!

The team is not elite. It is not hard to defend the pass when we can't run the ball.

Well it took New England and its rookie coach five games to figure out journeymen won’t get it done get that # 1 draft pick in . And Maye should have some success to build on .

Dak is a cut above journeyman and a notch below master craftsmen let’s say that. That’s what so puzzling about his contract . Where does this make sense to this franchise ?

You have Mahomes of course and Burrow Allen & Jackson very few at the top.

The guy coming to Dallas on Sunday Goff and Herbert ( when healthy ) Stroud Stafford Purdy it’s fair to put Dak in that realm . And Goff Stafford Purdy have been to SB’s .

Rodgers seems like Father Time has caught up or it’s wearing the Jets uniform jinx . Something is wrong with Jalen Hurts he doesn’t look like a SB QB anymore . Never liked Cousins , Wash Vikings now Atlanta where did they go with him ? I take Dak over Baker Mayfield as well .

The Washington Comnanders seemed to have struck draft world Gold . He’s going to be a big headache in this division .

Dak looked like he had an elite ceiling his rookie year, and then nothing happened. If anything he regressed due to losing his mobility.

He made the touchdown throw at the end but he almost single-handedly put them in that situation.

Go back and watch the all-22 or rewatch the game. On the first drive, he forced an incompletion to literally the only covered receiver on 3rd down. Leupke was WIDE open right in front of him, but he never even looked off his first read. Cost them the drive. Second drive bad read and intentional grounding. Fumble in the red zone while staring down a covered receiver. Interception in the red zone (he could have hit Jalen on the double move). Threw into double coverage in the middle of the field in a clear cover 1 defense (high schoolers do not even do this). I’m not going to praise a guy for setting a house on fire and then putting it out.

Dude made some good throws but he’s playing Madden out there. Just staring at the receiver he hopes will be open and sometimes it hits and sometimes it doesn’t.

I’d say he’s good, not great and definitely not elite

 

[diamonddelts]

If only beating teams with no viable threat at QB is elite then yes.

 

[Whirlwin]

No, elite means it shouldn’t have come to the last drive.

No, that’s not true. Can you win the game on the last drive. He’s not elite in my opinion but that last drive was what makes you elite.

 

[Whirlwin]

Maybe you should look at the bigger picture? Understand how his salary is handicapping the team. It’s not that difficult.

It’s handicapping. You never heard of manipulating the salary cap. His salary has nothing to do with the quality of the team.
