Is Dak the best Cowboys draft pick in the last 20 years?

[Diehardblues]

Was Zeke the guy that lead all those 4th quarter and overtime comeback wins? Like the one when Dak threw for 455 yards?

All you trolls do is come up with excuses. Pro bowls, rookie of the year, wins, playoffs, big new contracts.

You guys are being left in the dust.

2018=Beasley, Hurns, Gallup

2019=Cooper, Gallup not a rookie, Cobb, Witten, Frederick, Williams not a rookie

I would expect to see that passing attack step on the gas this year.

Would you be happy if Dak had 4400 yards and 32 TD's this year?

If it led us to a championship .

Hopefully Dak has enough talent around him to elevate our passing offense above lower tier.

Every QB needs surrounding talent to succeed. It’s what they do with it that separates them from the pack making their place in history.

 

[Whirlwin]

I believe the best 4th round draft pick

Last 20 years? D Ware and Romo

Dware yes Romo was undrafted so he dont count

 

[ItzKelz]

Luckiest pick especially when you consider what other QBs did when Romo was injured compared to Dak.

 

[Diehardblues]

This I agree with.

I can’t think of another 4th round pick in last 20 years that was better. Maybe best 4th round pick in Cowboys history?

Jay Ratliff 7th round 4x Pro Bowler 2009 All-Pro
DeMarco Murray 3rd round 3x Pro Bowler 2014 All-Pro, NFL rushing leader, TD leader, OPOY, Cowboys single season rushing mark.
Patrick Crayton 7th round 2009 second team All-Pro

Going back over 20 years.

Heck I'd be happy he finally had a 4 TD game for once......even if there check-down charlies....

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

You mean "franchise" as in giving him lots of money this year and keeping him until 2023 or "franchise" as in great skills?

Both.

Allen was a 2nd round pick. 46th overall.

He dropped in the draft because of rotator cuff injury and small school as no one had ever been drafted from Sonoma St.

It’s really easy to google info before posting it incorrectly.

Allen doesn't count 1994

He's already had a 4 TD game.

That being said, Dak has run a conservative, run first offense with Garrett at the helm. They simply havent asked Dak to be that gun slinging guy. Not many young QB's are asked to do that. When they have, in clutch situations, he has performed well.

If Moore opens up the passing game and offense with these new passing weapons, then I have no doubt Dak's numbers will increase.

What you would call excuses are simply just the facts.

luckiest...

had romo and the backup not got hurt Dak would be playing elsewhere or selling insurance

In my opinion, both Jason Witten and Jay Ratliff eclipse Dak Prescott's draft value of the past two decades. However, Prescott is far-and-above (and the gap is substantial in my book) the best drafted player at his position during the same period:

Mike White, 2018, Round: 5, Selection: 34
Dak Prescott, 2016, Round: 4, Selection: 37
Stephen McGee, 2009, Round: 4, Selection: 1
Isaiah Stanback, 2007, Round: 4, Selection: 4
Quincy Carter, 2001, Round: 2, Selection: 22

Sorry, but no chance Crayton was a 2nd team all pro. That scrub didnt even sniff the pro bowl.

 

[INCowboysFan]

Romo is the best draft pick in the last 20 years

Not a draft pick.

It doesn’t matter. I was correcting the OP member post on that particular subject.

I had forgotten about Stanback. Did he even make the roster. I just don’t recall him at all. Total blank.

They tried converting him into a receiver but he never stayed healthy long enough to warrant keeping him.

Right

We drafted him to be a WR. Can we really count him then as QB in that category as the others ? That’s kinda of misleading to me and why it didn’t jar my memory.

Does not really matter. Prescott's value outstrips Stanback's regardless of the latter's actual career position(s).

Judging how Dak cant win a game when Zeke isnt playing this whole thread is laughable.
