Is Dak Prescott Elite? Dak vs Elite Quarterbacks!

[mcmvp]

Whoever made that video does not know the first thing about football. I didn’t even hear him mention the fact that Joe Burrow was working behind the league’s worst offensive line for much of that time.

The Dak fans all thought he turned some corner. When in reality all he did was beat a very bad Bucs team.

Or ... did he make an average bucks team look bad? Just a different way to look at it.
8-9, making the playoffs is basically average.

Not defending Dak by any means though. He was horrible in SF, though against an elite defense.

Joe was lucky he was not injured again actually.

Very good response. Dak can win you 10-12 games during the regular season. It's when it matters that he caves.

Dak didn't cave during the 2018 playoffs against a top 3 defense of the Seahawks. He led the team back for a come-from-behind win.



Dak didn't cave during the 2022 playoffs against the G.O.A.T. at the Buccaneers for a blowout win.



Dak didn't cave his rookie year during the 2016 playoffs against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers. Dak led the team back from 18 points down halfway through the 2nd quarter only to tie the game at 31 all with 35 seconds left. The Cowboys would have won had the refs not helped out the Packers all game long.



Dak also played well against the Rams during the 2018 playoffs division game. Cowboys could have won if the Defense had shown up to play.



So, as everyone can see, let's stop with the ridiculous statements saying Dak caves when it matters most, including the playoffs.

Countdown to game 1

Honestly Dak isn't the same QB he was pre Injury
Dak is the QB you saw last year.
Some are fine with that , some are not.

Dak is the same QB. He broke the base of his thumb during Week 1, yet he still put up good numbers comparable to some of the top 4 QBs in the league. If you watched the film, you would understand that. I bet you didn't even watch the video.

That was a team that was very much trending downward heading into the playoffs. If they were average I’d say they were below average going down.

Burrow actually had the O-line that Dak fans badly want to believe Dak has.

If you didn't look at the video, why comment? If this site has become toxic, it's because the haters have been allowed to take over. FYI, Dak is the franchise QB of this team. This film does a great breakdown and comparison of Dak with other elite QBs in today's game. It's a great video that explains things well about what kind of QB we've got. Finally, no fan should have to cave in or cower away from supporting their franchise QB. If you've got a problem with that, go join the haters and stay out of any positive threads. Thank you.

I support Dak 100%. I hope he shuts everyone up in 2023 including myself. But right now all 32 teams would take Joe Burrow over Dak including the Cowboys. That said, I saw Burrow play against Cleveland without his #1 WR and he looked like crap. Got their butts kicked. Team matters. But I'm really not interested in a video showing me stats. Stats don't tell the whole story. Just a part of the story. Real time game situations under pressure is only viewed.

I don't even blame Dak for the playoff losses. Dallas won the 2 we were favored to win. Dak isn't great, so I didn't expect him to beat the better team, anymore than I expected Danny White to win any of those Championship games. Neither QB is good enough to make up the difference.

It’s so weird so Burrow plays behind a below average line and produced….but soon as he has a bad game it’s back to blaming the offensive line even though he has the best receiving group in the league. It’s crazy the excuses y’all make for non Cowboys.

Burrow has played well enough in his young career to still deserve the benefit of the doubt. He has taken his team further in a less time..

Dak has played for some great rosters and has fallen short for a longer period of time. He has not even gotten as far as bro had in twice the amount of time. Dak has reached a point where he deserves the benefit of the blame… no longer the benefit of the doubt.

There's also the: elite Dak when managing a lead vrs distinctly average when trailing and needing a TD.
I suppose we need an all out approach to get a lead into the 4th Q.

We are about to find out. Wonder boy Moore was no different than Linehan. Still abandons the run. So Dak will now have hopefully a better play caller and WR’s this year. The big unknown is our RB position. Pollard can’t carry the load by himself and he don’t want to, so we need another RB or 2 needs to step up and they didn’t trust Malik to carry the ball last year. Or he supposedly said something that angered the staff so the whole team suffered because they were punishing him, which I have a hard time believing because they didn’t cut him. Pollard coming off a bad injury could be a slow start. Hope these young ones are as good as advertised.

Have to believe all these threads about Dak are just ludicrous. You either accept Dak as the Dallas QB or you don't, pretty simple and you are not going to convince the other side of anything even if the Cowboys go to the Super Bowl and Dak throws six TDs in the game, there will still be doubters and haters who just will never give him credit.

Most of you on the site don't remember the articles about Staubach and Aikman. The media was brutal for them even after they won a championship and especially before they did. Some just have to hate, pretty simple. All that matters is what the coaches and front office believe. At some point, Dak will retire or be traded or flat out cut, it happens to every QB. Even after they quit playing and are or aren't nominated for the HOF, there will be those that debate if he belongs due to his numbers and unfortunately number of championships.

Those are just the facts, just like the fact only one team comes out on top every year and it is not always about how great the QB is or not. Like every game is about injures, weather, sickness, and other factors like poor play calling or missed assignments or poor tackling or dropping the ball or poor throws, etc.

So the point is that every thread about Dak, positive or negative is just a rehash and neither side is going to give in to the other.

Dak has not played for great rosters. Especially a Jason Garrett led team. I take nothing from Burrow. He’s a great player. Top QB in the league no questions asked. But I’m just bringing up how quick we are to make excuses for everyone else.

Yes he has…he certainly has played with rosters that were good enough

Fantastic statement. I might say it slightly different though. "He has played so well in his young career, there is no doubt."

Because really what is there to doubt about his individual talent? It's just a matter of can they put the team around him and the chips fall in place for a championship.
