So your version of adult dialogue and debate is equivalent to calling people Dak turds? Wow, I am impressed.
Unfortunately many fans are exhausted with the dialogue and narrative presented by Prescotts most hardened critics who want to place the entire blame on his shoulders.

It’s a narrative which becomes like watching Stephen A with his cigar and Cowboy hat on. It reeks of an opposing fan or troll like behavior.

They’re just frustrated with the constant attack and blame everything on Dak.

If Cowboy fans truly want an adult conversation on all of the contributing factors in why this franchise hasn’t had more success,I’ll be happy to accommodate.

But you also must be willing to provide some credit for how far they have come.

In other words in order to lose in Divisional round you have to win a lot of games to get there.

I believe most fans are more in the middle on evaluating Prescott. Unfortunately the airwaves are all too often dominated by the extremes on both sides.
The Giants reached the divisional round and lost....with Daniel Jones as the QB.....SF reached the Championship round with a rookie QB....let's not pretend that Dallas, because they won 12 games back to back, has done all that and let's not pretend that Dallas should have won the game against SF but for 2 costly INT's.

While I get not blaming Dak for everything, even the most diehard Dak supporters are seeing that he simply isn't the answer to bring this team back to their glory days.

excuses...excuses...excuses......Dak has started 7 seasons in the NFL and on some of his INT's this season many were calling him out for bad footwork, too many hitch steps, and bad reads equating that to a rookie starter type of performance.

The last 2 seasons Dak has thrown 25 INT's during the regular season which is equal to the amount he threw his first 3 seasons in the league; his ypa has gone down the last several years; his completion % was down this year; his net yard and adjusted net yards per attempt are both down; his passing yards per game was way down; his on target % was down; the only things up were his INT's and his bad throw %.

That is not improvement but regression.
he's also thrown 60tds the last 2yrs.
he's a better QB now than when he came into the league 7yrs ago.
its not surprising his int numbers increased the last 2yrs...he's thrown 990 passes in that span.
his comp % this season...66.2...is near the career #...66.6.
reign in the gunslingn'...lean on the run...let him use play-action more...and time for that thumb to heal...the int # will come down.
i'm more concerned with staying healthy than anything.
he's not elite but damn good.

I tend to avoid lessening my intellect so you are correct in my inability to absorb BS. :cool:
Maybe repeat the word "intellect" a few more times, maybe someone will believe you.
You're a confused bundle of contradiction.
"I'm not blaming it all on Dak".....but then a sentence later you're literally blaming only Dak.
You "tend to avoid" - by responding.

You're a mess.

This reminds me. I wish I could find the link, but there's statistics supporting the idea that Prescott is highly successful in play action.
Why did we wait until well into the 3rd quarter to run a play action play vs. the 49ers?
I know, Daks fault. :lmao:

The question though should be is Dallas a better team now with Dak or were they better with him early in his career? Based on statistics I would argue Dallas was a better team based on Dak's game management style of play, just like Dallas went 4-1 under Cooper Rush based on a similar style of play.

And which QB can we can sign that can bring us back to our glory days?

Have you been following our idiotic owners comments in recent days?

That tells you all we need to know about what the priorities are. And why we are where we are.

Most Cowboy fans realize Dak isn’t as good as he is hyped or paid. Whose fault is it he isn’t used like Purdy or Jones?

And this is the major difference in thinking here. Some people see this as prove for a successful season. Others, like me, see it as one big failure yet again. The perspective simply is the time since our last SB win. It doesn't matter whatsoever, who was born back then and what this team has to do with the history of the franchise.

But every coach, player, staff member and the GM/Owner/whatever is playing against this background.

So no, 12-5 seasons don't mean crap anymore. They would have in 2005. And while it's not all on Dak (duh!), he's one big part of the problem atm.

But hey, Jerry said he's gonna be better and they're planning long team, lol. So that's that.

Jerry & Co. are the circus owners and Dak is the circus ring leader (on offense)....all of whom I would love to be rid of and I agree, their comments are tiresome and means more dread for this organization. Personally I would rather see Dallas blow things up and enter a multi-year rebuild mode but of course that will never happen.

Our offense with Rush was bottom tier. Yea, it was enough to win a few games but as we saw against Egirls not enough when needed to put up more production and scoring.

That said, I’d agree that our offense and Dak are more effective and efficient when we are a run first dominant offense . Dak was more effective early in his career when our running game was more dominant.

And that leads us to where our dysfunctional leadership has steered us wrong. First of all we have attempted to create a more prolific passing attack with Dak. Most likely dictated from our leadership to justify his over paid contract.

Dak is more of a Bus Driver. And with a dominating running and a good enough defense we could be more of a SF type team. But that’s not what we’ve done.

And at RB when we have also mismanaged Elliotts contract we have been intent on starting him instead of a more productive Pollard.

i don't think our defense was as good then vs now.
our run game was better.
our oline was better.
we have a better hc now vs then,in my opinion.
i think our oline is returning...with young guys like tyler smith...biadasz...and steele.
i'd love to draft a good rb and add him to mccarthy's offense.
the key this off-season is gallup getting healthy and adding a good wr either thru the draft or f/a.
i'm excited to see what mccarthy can do with his offense.
my biggest concern with dak are the injuries.
over the last 3yrs...he's missed alot of games.
that trend concerns me and its why they should draft a QB.
hopefully the develooment of our oline helps with the injury concern.
just my opinion.

Unfortunately Cowboy fans, we are no longer that championship caliber franchise many of us grew up with.

That all ended when our frikin owner parted ways with Jimmy and he insisted on being the face of franchise strangle-holding football operations.

Jerry you know and we know Dak cannot beat a playoff caliber defense. There's nothing more to say.

PS you do not look well.
