ITS: Ungrateful fans need to stop taking Dak Prescott for granted

[charron]

Is that his fault?

probably the kickers fault

 

[Diehardblues]

They won't be this year (2023). I guarantee it!

I love guarantees. See ya in January .

 

[Momanpr100]

He's not anywhere near Romo as a talent.

You think Prescott could make Laurent Robinson look like a quality NFL WR? Spare me.

I mean he did it with Cedric Wilson, Cole Beasley had his best year with him. Revitalized Randal Cobbs career. Shall I continue?

 

[Diehardblues]

Thanks for being good enough to earn a max contract without a single NFC Championship.

So, NFL teams should wait to extend their QB until they have a Championship game ?

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Cowboys were one of the best teams in the NFL last year and you talking about his stats lol.

What did we win last year?

Dak Prescott

You can thank Kellen Moore for that....

 

[blueblood70]

He’s not a Super Bowl QB. So why waste more time? I’d draft someone in the first round next year and drop Dak in 2025 barring a championship in the interim.

He also had his worst season as a pro last year. Criticism is appropriate at this point. I’m holding out a sliver of hope that he can drive the bus to a championship game but it’s sorta naive to expect it considering the trajectory.

In your opinion he's not just because he hasn't got the one doesn't mean he can't this is a team game you know it and I know it so stop pouring gasoline on the hate fire that I know you're trying to stir up we've seen Trent dilfer, Brad Johnson ,Flacco, Jim McMahon ,Eli Manning and FOLES, Nick foles doesn't even look like a good starter. just to name a few that have won Super Bowls that are not better than Prescott they were not considered Super Bowl quarterbacks I mean Dan Marino didn't win a Super Bowl either I guess he's not a Super Bowl quarterback they just blamed his teams his defense they blamed a lot of things I believe he's got a gold jacket too I mean then you got guys like Kaepernick garoppolo golf that all went to Super Bowls even though they didn't win one even Matt Ryan they are not better than Prescott some might be equals on the same level blah blah blah but come on there is no such thing as a Super Bowl quarterback there's Super Bowl teams Matthew Stafford couldn't even stop being himself his Super Bowl year 20 turnovers 2 interceptions in the Super bowl but his team overcame it that was a Super Bowl team capital TE AM

That is part of the picture but he left needed elements out of the picture. Kellen just wasn't successful enough with intensity on the line and strongly delivered to the Cowboys. That comes with the job as well...

Your original presumption is incorrect. I don’t think Dak is a Super Bowl QB because I don’t think he’s capable of playing well enough to get there.

 

[blueblood70]

Your original presumption is incorrect. I don’t think Dak is a Super Bowl QB because I don’t think he’s capable of playing well enough to get there.

And I was clear I disagree...

I saw the offensive line not be able to open holes or block

I've seen no other skill players besides CD lamb play well I seen Gallup be the cause of 1 interception

I've seen bad play calls I've seen us come up against a defense that our offensive coordinator couldn't handle

we can go to 2021 14 penalties again where was the run game where was the line when we needed them against the Niners ???????

we simply were not a good enough team to beat the Niners. Had nothing to do with Prescott in my opinion as to why exactly we lost

I already explained I saw the Rams overcome 2 interceptions by Matthew Stafford to win that game.

let's go back to 2018 I mean the defense 273 yards rushing they gave up and again where was the run game where was the line when we needed them against again another team the Rams with a great front seven we couldn't get any push we couldn't open holes therefore it was stagnant we're losing these games by a slim margin and it's in the trenches Internet as a rookie he couldn't have played better against the Packers the defense lost that game it was clear they couldn't stop Aaron Rodgers even with only a minute and 13 seconds left on the clock and how many times did Prescott give us the lead or get back to a tie at least three times from memory

sure it's a quarterback we could keep blaming the quarterbacks when it's obvious there are huge other issues that we could use in context to say our team just isn't good enough yet to play against the better defenses that's why Kellen Moore got fired and we're gonna tweak the offense.

 

[Diehardblues]

Will anything this guy write change anyone's opinion?

Troy Aikman nailed it when he was asked is Dallas is a good sports town. His reply "Dallas is a good winner's town".

Many fans are "show me the jewelry" or get someone else.

Remember Steve Young in the SB yelling "someone get this monkey off my back" after it was apparent they would win big? Montana was his monkey.

Danny White had a monkey too and he was a hell of a better QB than Romo or Prescott but he failed to deliver. But he almost got there three times.

Prescott doesn't have a monkey because Romo accomplished nothing but he's got this huge gorilla called "Expectations" and even though the Cowboys haven't sniffed a NFCCG in over two decades, he will get left holding the bag with no presents in it should he not get to a SB. And I think he has to win it, just getting there isn't good enough for a lot of entitled fans.

I used to sell Romo by pointing out what we had between Aikman and him but that really never worked anymore than saying the Cowboys could have one of these bottom tier QB's instead of Prescott.

It is not about those QB's it's why can't we have a Mahomes, Burrow, Brady, Rodgers, Brees because we are so deserving. Many of us are like the man that stays married but constantly complains about how bad a wife he has instead of divorcing her and finding another.

No one makes a fan stay a fan of a team. If I disliked Prescott as much as some of you say you do, I wouldn't watch this team. I can get my masochistic fix elsewhere.

This is spot on Coach. Dallas is a winners town. We pushed Dandy Don to early retirement , benched our first SB qb in Morton and unappreciated Danny Boy .

We lucked out hitting on both Romo and Prescott as neither were intended to be starters . Sometimes it’s just not in the cards for everyone to win championships .

I personally wouldn't be in he habit of paying jags elite money with no way out of the contract but not my decision. Also wouldn't have paid Dlaw, Jaylon smith or zeke but they did cause winning a SB isn't their goal and signing these guys aligns with their priorities.

 

[Shane612]

He is not even in the top 10 anymore of QB money.

People are gonna have to stop saying this.

What does this mean?
He was paid like an elite QB at the time of signing, yet he hasn't play like it.
So, now.... he doesn't have to play like one...?

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Dak Prescott is my name and CHOKING big time is my game!!!

OMG, when will I score over 20 pts vs the Niners??????

 

[Momanpr100]

This ain't the NBA. I'm intrigued, what is a max contract in the NFL?

 

[buybuydandavis]

We are lucky 2 have Dak because its hard finding even a middle of the road QB ,let alone, a guy that can flash at times like him.

Is it that hard to find a middle of the road QB?
Dak in the 4th. Romo undrafted.

Both could have easily never been starters for lack of opportunity.

Draft mobile QBs. Run them, giving them an extra dimension that veterans with huge dead money lack. Spend that 15-20% of your cap elsewhere.

If you hit on a real QB, now you have a real team around them.

Dak had a historic rookie season. But it turned out he's not a historic QB, just a good one who landed in the driver's seat of a dominant run game. For a year.

With a real team around him, a decent QB can look great.

Not sure why more fans don’t understand Market Price for franchise QB’s ?

Some of this is true but he’s been enough to help keep this franchise relative and interesting.

 

[Risen Star]

Laurent Robinson was quality before he got to Dallas he was just hurt. Y’all stay giving Romo credit for something he didn’t do. Why did Roy Williams get worse when he got to Dallas?

You don't even know what you're talking about. Robinson was crap before and after Romo. Think your contributions here.

No doubt Jethro’s priorities are concerning. But even average to above average QB’s who are enough to be a playoff team are hard to find .
