It needs to be said: Dak is enough to win with

[CWR]

Hes gotta do crap in the playoffs

This win is epic but i need epic playoff wins as well

His performance against Seattle was impressive and the win vs Tampa was about the most command I've seen from the position in a long time.

I agree though, he needs more.

It was Elliot that fumbled the ball on the goal line against the Rams, it was the defense that allowed 300 yard rushing. Come on put your hate aside and understand the game.

It was Dak who threw an INT on a WR screen pass for goodness sakes in the 2016 playoff game. The D and the rest of the team made up for that....it's a team sport. Mahomes, Jackson, Burrow and Allen - the guys you compare Dak to and the guys who he is paid like - do it with top defense and bottom defense. They are WINNERS...not excuse makers. I want one for our team. Call me crazy.

And before you call Jackson and Allen "losers" well...they all lose to Mahomes. So if THEY can't beat Mahomes....lol...Dak?!? C'mon...

 

[Diehardblues]

So no compliments for the defense...... figures.

Of course. Couldn’t have won without them.

 

[Diehardblues]

Don't you think Dak should actually prove he can win before you state as a fact that he can?

I'm gonna need proof, not just feels after a regular season win. Yeah, it was a nice game by Dak, but it's not proof you can win a SB with Dak.

He's in year 10. There's only been one QB in NFL history that made it to a SB (didn't win it) after never having made a conference title game in the previous 10 as a starter - Ken Anderson.

Who said anything about fact. This is an opinion based forum.

And who said anything about winning a SB?

Amazing how some fans want to put more into it than what was actually stated.

 

[Diehardblues]

"he can be enough to win" - is damning with faint praise. If that's the best you can say about the highest paid player in NFL history...well...all we need to do is underline your statement.

Well, I didn’t want to overstate it. I’m a critic and I also enjoy taking on the trolls.

 

[Risen Star]

After a big win like this all of the Trolls are nowhere to be found . A thread like this might bring them out. Lol

Yes. That regular season game in year 10 to get to 5-5-1 has shut down all doubters of Prescott. All they got is 9 years and some playoff games.

We all see your victory. Now be a good winner.

 

[Diehardblues]

I tend to always agree with your perspective for some reason. But can't you just sit quietly and let things play out? Beat KC, beat the Lions and lets talk then. What is the need for how you started this thread? Why? Are you trying to agitate?

I was in the mood to troll the trolls. Lol

And being a critic I also feel like shouting out praise when warranted.

 

[Yobwocs]

So youre saying that Dak is “just decent”?

Nope.... he's elite and Top 5....... but you can be just decent and glide by if your team is good enough. Ask Terry Bradshaw in those first 2 Super Bowl runs.

He's been good enough 4 times in the playoffs. Bad 3 times.... but that GB game he didn't stand a chance with the defense giving up 6 straight Touchdown drives.

 

[Diehardblues]

Well the fact that he's never even come close is a pretty strong argument that he doesn't have the "ability". For me, yesterdays game didn't really move the needle.

If you believe in him, that is great though.

I didn’t say anything about believing in him.

We beat the SB Chumps. That provides some confidence I didn’t have before.

 

[Yobwocs]

Dak didn't win the GB game, and was shut out in the second half, genius.

No idea what you're talking about

fair enough. I'm not here to argue. I get it bro

 

[Diehardblues]

To win what?

The super bowl? Hell no.

The NFC Championship game? Hell no.

To win a just a wild card game? Maybe but that isn't the goal.

Winning the SB isn’t a realistic goal with our dysfunctional ownership.

I’ll take advancing further than any other Cowboys team in 3 decades.

More importantly just having the ability to beat the best teams on any given Sunday and staying in contention for playoffs.

The bar has been lowered this era with Jethro Ball. It is what it is.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

The 8-9 Bucs? A team in complete disarray.

That was Dak and the cowboys being Dak and the Cowboys. Beating up loser teams.

A Playoff team? Only by technicality.

 

[acr731]

Of course. Couldn’t have won without them.

Yet you gave Dak all the credit in your OP

That doesn't mean you have to lower your expectations to Jerry's level

Yea, there’s been plenty to bash Dak over the years and I’m sure there will be more . But anyone who doesn’t see he can be enough to win with has some serious agendas.

I’m not saying he’s Elite while he does look like it at times but we aren’t as good of offense without him.

And sure there’s a few QB’s we’d rather have but with this version of Dak we could be a tough out as long as this defense can make critical stops.

We have some huge games coming up against KC and Detroit. We’ll see how those go but I have a new found confidence we wouldn't have much chance without him.

Dak has been a very good QB for Dallas since he arrived. Yes, he has had some poor performances in the post season - but the majority of those were due more to bad rosters than him simply not showing up. Or some nagging injury. There is a reason that 90% of the teams would love to have Prescott as a QB when he is healthy.

I think you don’t understand the meaning of “good enough”

Dak teams are 2-5 in the playoffs
Dak teams have never been to a SB (let alone win it) in 10 years
Dak teams have never been to a CCG (let alone win it in 10 years
Dak teams have never won back to back playoff games in 10 years


So i think you don’t really understand what “good enough” means

 

[loublue22]

Dak is extremely comfortable against the division, that includes Philly even at their best. We should have won opening night if not for Lamb. Need Dak to play better on the road against good teams, or anywhere against good AFC teams. Thursday would be a start.

I would agree, but there is a big caveat. Playoff Dak is not the same QB as Regular season Dak. It remains to be seen if he's enough or not to win, if you're talking in the playoffs or even getting past the Divisional round of the playoffs.
