Not in the least. Lance was never a threat to Dak right now. He's a LONG way from ready, and probably never will be.
So his age has developed.
Let's not forget I do not blame Dak for all this, he is doing exactly
at times it calls for it, times like now
Beating the Iggles is no longer a mark it on the calendar game for us, and we got lucky to beat the Lions. 8 years and an awful playoff record is the furthest thing from cherry-picking the playoff record of a franchise QB. I have never argued Dak stinks, and have admitted he is a very good QB..however, I have seen what I have seen over 8 years to know there is nothing to think times will change
I mean saying he sucked at linebacker is one thing but he surely didn't play like Jaylin did lol.
You'd know all about being a football idiot.
Fine.. all I know is that if you look across the league it has been shown time and again that it's easier to build a good team than it is to find a QB like Mahomes or Rodgers or someone on that level. I am much more comfortable trying to build a team like the '07 and '11 Giants or the '12 Seahawks or '14 Broncos... Or even any of the Niners good teams over the past 5 seasons. Teams with a strong run game and a stifling defense and an efficient albeit not transcendent QB. I think we can attain that easier than we can find a better QB than Dak Prescott. I know people are out there claiming there are like 25 or 30 such QBs out there to be had.. but those people are mostly idiots.
The eagles were in a free fall and the lions idiot coach gave us the win and we still couldn't do anything with it.
Is that like when our idiot coach gave Miami the win by trying to hand it off to a rookie FB at the 2 yard line? I could not have made my point any clearer than you did.. . the only game that "counts" against the Eagles was the one we lost. Dak's 350 yards against the Lions with virtually no run game support doesn't "count" because their coach went for the win instead of the tie and tried to get cute doing it. Newsflash.. all of those things "count" as do all the games. I have no use for playing the dismissing wins and only counting losses game. They all count 1/17th to me. `They are all 1/17th of the formula that gets you to the playoffs. Now we can spend an eternity discussing how poorly the team played in that playoff game.. but you strike me as someone who only noticed Dak having a bad game.. The defense was lights out right? And by lights out I mean they slept through most of the game.
You are 100% correct. It is extremely difficult to find a Mahommes and a vast majority of the "NEXT ones", amount to nothing flattering. We all know that a team strong in coaching, O, D and ownership is what makes a team successful. If this team was in a 2 year window to win a Super Bowl I would stand up and say SIGN DAK, no matter what. The reality is the current state of ownership, RB, WR, CB, HC....and on. With the impressive talent on the horizon growing on this team I simply don't find sinking the kind of money into a 31 year old QB as something we should, but that we are likely going to do
Maybe not.. but I feel pretty sure the money will be paid to Dak.. and as long as he structures the deal to allow cap flexibility, I won't mind it one bit. The market has spoken as to what a QB on his level is worth. Whether fans agree with it or not really doesn't matter. This is the "business" part of the business and it's just how the cookie crumbles. If people really don't like it and want change then millions of us need to stop watching the Cowboys, buying the swag and going to the games. I'm not willing to give up the last two but that first one? Not on your life.. What about you?
The whole team sucked in that playoff game from the coaches on down. That includes the offense and the defense. When the team is struggling the qb should be a leader that keeps you in a game. Instead he was having panic attacks and fighting with his #1receiver. I've seen that look on Daks face too often to think it's going to change.
I am in full agreement that I want Dak to be more of the vocal leader when the S is hittin the fan on the field. I have been openly critical of his heading over to the sideline trying to maintain his cool in those moments. I would really like to see him lose it every now and then. But the CD temper tantrum was on CD not on Dak IMHO. Rumor around DFW was that Lamb was out partying the night before the game and had a booth reserved at one of the clubs the night after the game. I don't know if it was true but I do know he dropped the first two passes that came his way in that game. Both of which would have resulted in a first down and kept the chains moving. And the one slant he dropped was one missed tackle or bad angle from being a house call. Dak was really the only thing working on the offense.. remember his 20-something yard scramble was our only first down early on. Bottom line is that if Lamb catches those first two passes and the offense keeps the ball a little longer and either punches it in or kicks a FG we might have seen a very different game. Maybe the defense pulls its collective head out and gets some stops instead of bending over for the Packers' offense. What was it? TDs on 6 of the first 7 drives? 4 of which was 75+ yard drives. And we mad at the QB? I can't.
What is “stupid” is giving the example of one player who was able to do something extraordinary once and ignoring the multitudes of other years he could not and ignoring the other QBs who could not do it for years and years and years and…..
I don't buy lots of swag, mainly due to living in Canada and there isn't much up here to buy. I also vow to not support Jerry as long as he is running this franchise down. As I have said before a lot of my angst for players/coaches on this team are a result of my distaste for the Jones'
His strengths were the same as Jaylens at linebacker and everything else was pure projection.
His young age gives Lance the opportunity to develop. Like I listed he is in the same age group as three of the QBs taken in the 1st round in this years draft.
Unfulfilled opportunity sitting on the bench.
And if Dallas chooses to move on from Prescott if this year doesn’t go well, Lance will move off the bench and into the starter position next year.
