Is this the game Prescott emerges to more Elite category?

[Pass2Run]

Could he become the first QB since the 90’s to lead Cowboys to a championship game appearance?

And will he be the difference in finally knocking down that wall?

This is a great opportunity for him to get the monkey not only off his back but the entire franchise .

Can he take us where many have felt we’d probably not go again this era under Jethro?

If he can and if he continues playing his best ball on the biggest stages then he’s likely to vault more into the Elite category so many have denied him without more postseason success.

I hope so because the San Fransisco defense is good.

If we.can beat San Fran, we can beat anybody. This team has the most difficult personnel to contend with.

 

[Gorgon]

Don’t really care about that. Just be elite for three more games. It served Eli just fine.

That's the spirit. Game by game. We all forget how many close games the great Triplets teams had---trailed at the half at the 2nd Buffalo SB, needed two idiotic O'Donnell INTs to win vs Pittsburgh,
but good teams win those game however is necessary.

IF THIS LINE STAYS INTACT he can win the next three games.

Dak has beenElite since his rookie year when he won Rookie of the Year honors.

A bit too early to even mention the word with him. There was a lot of luck and good circumstances in our monday night win. Troy Aikman pretty much said what a lot of us were thinking. We were worried that Brady would do what Rodgers did to us earlier in the season, look like a younger version of himself lighting us up. But Brady looked worse than many of us expected from him and didn't have that playoff magic that he usually has, even with age. Dak started out bad in this game but then had a great game. Against a better team, having a bad start, the psychological effect on a team or player is such that they can have their spirit crushed early on. Brady was bad, which gave Dak and the Boys a chance to recover and then whip the floor with them. But against a better more dominating opponent the story could've been different. It's a good game and it is making me more hopeful against the 49ers. Dak looked good, but the bad start at the beginning of the game where he looked bad doesn't disprove that he is inconsistent. But all the guy has to do to make his doubters look foolish is keep winning.

 

[GINeric]

He just need to be consistent. He has elite skills he just has not yet consistently drawn upon them. You cannot flail an entire game and be considered elite “Washington”.

Elite to me is that QB that you know can pick a team up and carry them to a win when all seems lost. That is not Dak, yet.

That's a great point. On a side note, Aaron Rodgers is considered by many as the top two best quarterbacks to have ever played... yet he has the same amount of Superbowl wins as Nick Foles, Trent Dilpher and many other quarterbacks.

Rodgers is elite but.... why haven't he carried his teams to more Superbowl victories???

C'mon elite is more exclusive than just winning a divisional playoff game. Unless you wanna call Flacco, Dilfer, Joey G, Brad Johnson, Foles etc all elite. They at least took their teams to SBs.. Need to be more consistent than this. It is a step.

That’s where your wrong. those qbs didn’t take their teams anywhere. Their teams took the qbs.

 

[jay94]

For a game sure, but hell no long term, way to inconsistent, his receivers don't do him justice though.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

No.

Keep up.

He never was good enough out of college...

Then..

He's not good enough to keep it going...film will get out on him...

Then...

He's not good enough to win against winning teams...

Then...

He's not good enough to win in the playoffs...

Then...

He's not good enough to win a Super Bowl...

Then...

He's not good enough to win 7 Super Bowls...

Then...

He's not good enough because never went undefeated his whole entire career. 20 years undefeated with 20 Super Bowls...

Do you see a pattern here?

Well I see you are talking about Tom Brady and not Dak when I read 7 Super Bowls.

Josh Allen had a game last season where he posted a 17 passer rating.. SEVENTEEN!!!! He completed 11 of 26 passes that day and threw three picks to zero TDs.. And they WON the game. There's that whole team game thing again. He had a game this season with a 46.8 rating against the Jets. Zero TDs and two picks... That smells a lot like flailing an entire game to me.

[Qcard]

Dakota Prescott is already Elite..

The Off-season and In-Season Lists were skewed, biased and proven to be false by the Wild Card Weekend performances.

Allen, Herbert, Dakota, Kirk, Mahomes, Lamar, Trevor and Burrows are ALL Elite QBs. ....only 32 jobs every year and these guys when healthy and supported Thrive!!

The only difference...

Mahomes is Great QB and HOFer.

Even the most hardened critics place Prescott more in the middle of the pack somewhere between 10-15th caliber ranking . His yearly stats would place him average to above average .

But your personal analysis tells you he’s “ bad” . Which is a very subjective description. Are you able to provide a more precise type ranking ?

I already did that. Some time ago. And i gave a list of examples of QBs who are elite, good or average (During this time i had Prescott still ranked as an average QB. Lower end of average but still average).

Here is an example:

elite: A.Rodgers, P. Manning, J.Montana, D.Marino, B.Favre
good: S.Young, P. Mahomes, T.Brady, R.WIlson, T.Rothlisberger, T.Aikman
average: K.Cousins, J.Goff, B.Mayfield, J.Flacco
bad: D.Prescott

There are right now a lot of young QBs with 1 or 2 years of NFL experience which i dont want to rank. Just because this is just a too short time to judge what their real capabilities are.
All of the QBs also have a talent level which i for myself take into account when evaluating them. So for instance (even if he isnt ranked by me): Burrowsy or Lawrence have both elite talent level. Prescott to me has average talent level.
But i dont earn money with that. I do this for myself out of fun.


To rank Prescott anywhere in a ranking of current QBs does not say anything about his general level of play. So in essence this does not contrtadict with how i judge him.

Placing him at 15 for instance does only say there are 14 better QBs in front of him. But it does not tell you if those 14 QBs are high school level QBs or all elite ones. And usually those experts put Prescott every week in another spot. How can that be ? How can the talent of a QB vary so much in just one week ? Answer: The most rankings are meant to give the mainstream reader new stuff to read/discuss/comment about.

And who cares if he's elite as long as he's a SB Champion.

In two different sentences of your own words you describe him as average but yet you still call him bad.

This discredits your analysis as at least contradictory and potentially hypocritical.

Was Danny White elite? Elite is being consistently very good to great so far that hasn’t been his MO that can change but imho Dak will never be elite very good at times yes great at times yes but all the times he disappears will keep him from becoming elite.

Please read what i wrote. If you do you will understand it.

If you dont want to understand but only want to find what fits your opinion then you will always be successful. But in that case a discussion is worthless.

 

[ElGatoGrande]

,,, ask again in 4 days. A solid performance over a crap team is nice but that doesn't help anyone's argument and it's laughable that some want to "drop the mic" right now, this isn't the hump we've been hoping he would get over someday.

To be fair, we've been waiting decades for the Cowboys defense to get over the hump too, a solid performance from them would help QB1 too.
