Keep hearing certain people in the media say Dak is succeeding because of the RB and O-line

[Zimmy Lives]

He really doesn't need to do a whole lot which is a great situation for a rookie QB growing week to week.

Sky is the limit for Dak. Just going to take awhile to get to the elite category but I believe he will get there.

This.

Dak has shown a lot of poise, leadership, and an ability to execute the game plan. He has benefitted from creative play-calling, great o-line play, a solid running game, and a menagerie of WRs with various skill sets. He is doing it all.

Before, we expect any more from him, however, let's just enjoy the fact he is do everything he can do to win football games. Hopefully he will continue to improve and become the elite player we'd all like for him to be.

I'm not sure you know what a bus driver QB is. Dak is making plays all over the place out there.

I'm not really seeing that. He's taking what is there, but not really doing anything exceptional for the most part. Stand in pocket, survey the field, throw to wide open guy. That's most of his plays. A lot of others are play-action, so it's not so much surveying but throwing to the guy the play was designed for. He's doing well in this role, but it's not like he's doing anything to make you go, "wow." A few runs sprinkled in I guess could be "making plays."

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

Actually you did. I live up here. They've been ripping their OL and WRs since Game One. They just thought Wentz was good enough to overcome those deficiencies.

I listen to sports radio in philly and watch the local news and read the papers and no one said anything about their receivers

 

[Kevinicus]

you sound like a undercover eagles fan and shouldn't be on this board

 

[CowboysFanSince88]

Ok?

I'd take Dak over two Sam Bradfords. That wasn't the point of my post. At all.

you are trying to say any QB can win games behind the cowboys oline and that is false. That skins and eagles win was all Dak

well home come your QB wentz is unable to find the open guy?

Are "certain people in the media" saying Prescott isn't a good quarterback without Elliott and the offensive line? That would be false. He has demonstrated enough tangible and intangible qualities to cement his place in the NFL. Now if "they" are saying part of his success is due to a talented running back and offensive line, why is that questionable? This isn't baseball with one hitter versus nine players. It's football.

This is another example of what I've said for decades. Some people sit in the stands or stare at their televisions and they don't see 22 guys. They see the quarterback and no one else. That's not football. It's fantasy football but not football.

Then you weren't listening that well. They've had questions about their WRs since fall camp. The team knew they had an issue too.......... that's why they made the trade and took a risk on DGB.

 

[Super_Kazuya]

Well if this were right, then cody kessler could also have the cowboys at 7-1 and all the records etc ??

What is more impressive, Kessler's 96.1 rating with the BROWNS or Dak/Wentz playing with well, anyone else? I think Kessler has exactly the kind of skills that would work with what we're doing. Only 1INT in 160 attempts. Can throw on the run. 68% completion percentage. He's done very well. Again, he plays for the BROWNS. With THAT defense...

I didn't say that. At all.

But if you think the Eagles win was all Dak...we watched different games. That game was close because Dak was awful.

 

[Sydla]

This is where people go loopy. The Eagles win wasn't all Dak. It's like people forget that he was pretty much awful for a large chunk of the game before getting hot at the end.

And credit to him for playing well that last 5 minutes and in OT. But it's also quite logical to say if he plays much better from the beginning of the game, Dallas probably isn't in a situation where they have to make a furious rally.

Again, it's downright bizarre that some of you can't handle any criticism of Prescott or bristle at the notion that some might suggest that Prescott isn't the great QB ever to live and is doing this all on his own.

Please, stop being stupid. I don't give two craps about Wentz.

I listen to 94.1. Maybe they mentioned it on 97.5

He's been quite good. The question becomes what do the Browns do in the next draft? With the QBs scuffling in college and some (Kizer, for example) looking likely to say another year, the Browns might ride Kessler in 2017 as well.

The eagles win was all dak with his elusiveness and determination on the last drive of the 4th qtr and OT

 

[Sydla]

So Dak's play in the first 3 quarters, was a not a factor at all in Philly building a 3rd/4th Q lead?

The first three quarters never happened, I guess.

 

[adbutcher]

Which to me is BS, You still need the skills to get away from defenders and find the open man down field. Not only that he was able to beat two division rivals late in the 4th by effectively moving the chains. And let's not act like dak is well protected every time he steps back to throw which is another reason that statement annoys me

"he doesn't have to do much due to the running game and offensive line"

So that is a indirect way of saying he is a bus driver which is just a flat out dumb statement. Bus drivers don't win 7 games in a row and 4-0 on the road.

I think Jimmy Johnson said this on FOX yesterday that dak doesn't have to do much? What the hell is he talking about? lol

In college, Dak had 239 completions in a row without an interception. IMO, he played with the worst WR and OL in the SEC yet the kid balled out on a regular basis like he was playing with a cast of 1st rounders.

The defense allowed philly to get 23 pts not dak. Even though he started out slow he didn't hurt the team by throwing a INT. He was able to keep the team in the game and led them to victory

Well he certainly has some weaknesses, but I guarantee you both Dak and Wentz would have their weaknesses on full display there as well. He holds on to the ball too long and pretty obviously doesn't have a rocket arm. And he doesn't have great size.
I suspect that whatever the wrong thing to do is, Cleveland will do it.

 

[8FOR!3]

I think he gets the bus driver moniker a little bit because of his playing style. That's attributed to his smart instincts. He goes through his progressions and typically doesn't try and make the throw that isn't there. Romo does that more and sometimes it makes him look like the best QB in the world and every once in a while it comes back and bites him. If you want to call Dak a bus driver you'd have to at least say he's an elite one because he's great at what he does.
