Let's talk about Dak

And none of those guys had Zeke. Right now Zeke is the Offense. Dak is a very average QB. His accuracy is absolutely horrible. Can he get better well we would hope so far he has not

Did you watch the game yesterday? Nothing wrong with his accuracy. He misses Top 10 in completion percentage by a tenth of a point (67.6, which is damn good).

The notion that ANY QB completes a boatload of passes downfield is absurd.

Downfield = 20+ yards in the air
Boatload = 35%+
 
1. Prescott has won more games in his 45 starts than Romo won in his last 45, so Dak wins more games
2. Dak has won more games in his first three seasons than Romo did, and Romo had the advantage of being in the league for two years before his first start.
3. Not that winning games is always on the QB. There were some 8-8 seasons that Romo carried the team on his shoulders, even if it was to mediocrity. I'm sure Dak will do the same.
4. Romo would've been on the sidelines watching if he played behind this O line.

I was always a Romo fan, just as I'm a Dak fan. I was also an Aikman and Staubach fan. Never loved White, though he had some good seasons.

Everyone calling for Dak to be replaced because 'anyone can run this offense', I offer to you:

Weeden, Moore, Cassell, and Orton, all dumpster fires.

yet most of his stats come from his rookie year. 2017 The team had trouble beating teams with winning records " don't include Eagles in final game they had nothing to play for except stay healthy" This year the team has only beaten one team with winning record "Saints " coming off a 10 game streak. While he has been decent enough on ints , its more that he is scared to throw and does not see the field. Takes way too my sacks in turn he loves to fumble.... he would have more if he didnt have a horseshoe up his butt and get lucky bounces.

Romo never had a line or RB like Dak does now . Romo also had great connection Dez . Also when was last time he had a D that in top 10 let alone top 5 ?.
there is no comparison between the 2 Qbs. Cowboys have had a team since 2014 that could of won a SB but FO and coaching staff held it back more then any player.

Dak gets no 5th year option ,so it makes choices limited . tag = way too much , Pay also could be too much since average Qbs are paid without doing a thing. trade + what would you get for him ? I think Dak could of been better , but past 2 seasons the team did not have a solid vet behind him . Instead went cheap and got guys that are question marks.... Also a mistake not making a competition for starting job 2017 but just give it to Dak. So many plaayers will be needing to get paid or have to move on. hard to keep good teams together in cap era . teams have shown best chance to win it all is whe you have key players on rookie deal. Look at the teams that won a SB then paid QB and even ones that came clos and paid. As good as Rodgers is , he still only won once
 
There is good and bad when it comes to Dak, and there is probably more good than bad. But let's talk about the rubber meeting the road with him. He must have an above average line in front of him to be successful. That takes him out of the elite category by itself.

His pocket awareness and ball security inside the pocket are both below average. I am not sure that is going to improve much.

He also has a tendency to over throw open receivers on the deep ball, especially Gallup. That's points left off the board.

Dak has proven to be a winner, but all of the forgoing SIGNIFiCANTLY limit his value and upside. If we are going to keep Dak around, then we must ensure that the OL remains a priority. He also needs a stud RB so we better find an acceptable backup for Zeke.

All of the above need to be seriously considered when Dak gets his next contract. We also need to be looking for a backup that may eventually supplant Dak if these factors don't improve over time.

Keep an eye out for Carr if he gets cut by the Raiders, as no one is taking on that contract. He was playing at a pro bowl level and the Raiders sucked the life out of him just like it did Amari. He may still have some life left in him too.

Man what I wouldn't give to see this team with Kyler Murray on it.

Well written and fair review, I agree with everything you wrote.
 
When Jerry gives Dak that new $100 million dollar contract this offseason, will you finally start following another team and go to their team's forums? Yes??? :clap:
Daks under a microscope right now and Jerry and Stephen look like they just bit into a lemmon watching that Colts game. I think the Cowboys let him play out his contract. There has to be a lot people talking inside the organization and outside all the media. Most of the people are seeing what a lot of us are seeing. Dak is a nice guy but he isnt anything special when it comes to talent. If anything people are wondering how many other QBs could do this well or better with all this talent around them.
 
Romo was a gunslinger, he would make some terrible plays here and there, but he also could go out and just wow you with amazing plays as well.

Dak, in my eyes, is more the bus driver type QB. Yes, you can win with him, but his ceiling is limited.

Our offense struggled to score versus the saints, looked like crap for 3 quarters vs the eagles, and was shut out for the 1st time in 200+ games yesterday. If something doesn't change, this team will be 1 and done in the playoffs.

No, H.E., only you haters feel this way. I guarantee it. I can't wait for this offseason so I can say, "I told you so!" :thumbup::muttley:

As much as you want to make these wonderful forum the Dak-Crush forums be ready for continuous disappointments as the fans are not buying your DAK-SACK BS......and dont be suprised if Jerry doesn't give your man Inept Dak that contract this off-season and waits it out....

It's ok. Not everyone understands football. :cool:
 
Do you think today's Romo could have done better behind this Oline, no stud TE and only 1 true stud WR that was barely picked up halfway through the season?

Absolutely, because he was a MUCH BETTER QB. Romo had those teams competing for the division title from 2011-2013 despite have some of the worst OLs and defenses in history! Imagine if he had this defense? He even made Laurent Robinson look like a stud. He would have been more than fine with Cooper, Gallup, Beasley and Zeke. Romo made everyone around him better, had amazing pocket presence and accuracy. Dak has one ability that Romo didn't have, he can run. Unfortunately, that doesn't really matter because he rarely runs despite the fact that it could offset some of his significant flaws as a passer. Dak is not a very good QB, but he has some things that he can do well like run and throw on the run. Of course, we rarely use roll-outs and he doesn't take off with the ball often. Linehan and Dak are the albatrosses of this team. Throw in a banged up OL and this offense is a mess.

Excuse me? Romo had Murray and Dez. I don't want to hear that garbage about 'but his rookie year'. He had no RB for 6 games and no WR1.

I have no idea what games you Dak haters watch. The kid goes out and wins ball games.

There is a world outside of the Cowboys and when you see Nick Mullins a 3rd string QB for the 49rs beat the Seahawks in a game the Seahawks absolutely needed it makes you scratch your head and wonder why Dak cant even make the same throws Mullins makes.

Romo had them competing for the division title from 2011-2013? Ok, so what happened during those 3 years? How did they end up? Did they even win a division title? Did they even make the playoffs?

What do you think Dak is doing right now with a much worse and lesser talented Offense??? Chicken soup? If you haven't noticed, the Cowboys are about to secure a division title and the playoffs during these last two games as they only need 1 victory. I guarantee they won't choke that away as the Romo-led Cowboys did between 2011-2013.
 
Dak Prescott is Ryan Tannehill or Kirk Cousins...how many on here would be clamoring for the Jones boys to back the Brinks truck up for those two?

Dallas would be wise to follow the lead of the Washington organization. Franchise Prescott once then try to trade him. Unlike the Washington organization, Dallas needs to use premium draft capital in 2019 and maybe 2020 on the QB position to find the replacement. Build the team around the RB, OL and defense until you find a true franchise QB capable of making others better and carrying the load when things aren't optimum.

For the record, I KNOW I'm whistling in the wind since the Jones boys are going to extend Prescott and likely pay him something ridiculous for his skill level. I'm merely saying what I believe is the best course of action if this team wants to win a Super Bowl.
 
Bold is junk straight up. That is all record being attributed to him dancing in your head. If you see him play most games you'd see an avg at best QB. Sure as heck isn't no franchise QB. How many franchise qb's week after week defensive coordinators aren't even worried about him as a threat but the running back? Can't be many but since I mainly focus on the Boys maybe it is. Dak is good enough to win with a loaded team but any competent QB can do that the special ones supposed to do more. Not every game either because that's unrealistic but I don't trust Dak to do it often enough. He is too 50/50 with good and bad play. He needs to be more 80/20 good and bad play and he isn't close to that now. This he's young stuff is getting old quick too lol.
With DAK..

we are reinventing the Tony Romo Syndrome.

Taking a low level QB and designing a team around him.

Then giving him a major league contract in the hopes he blooms..

and watching it crater the team with no playoff results.

We can not as a team do this again.

We have invested so heavily in the OL and now sqandered away 3 years of that OL..

and Zeke's career for his first 3 years with 400+ carry seasons..

that the future looks anything but goid.

did you fart ? Demarco is not even close to the RB Zeke is . Yes Dez was pretty great as well as Witt . The Oline not even close but did get better towards the end but by then Tony was broken shell of self. Defense ? nope . Fact remains is Tony could of won with the 2016 team even more with todays . But thats still off topic a bit . Who said I was a Dak hater or supporter ? You can give your opinion on things without being one or the other. Im not 100% confident that more great talent will be wasted again ..... this time Zeke , Cooper , finally a defense that can produce instead of Tony , Dez , Witt , and Murrey. FO needs cleaning , Jones family needs to stop treating it as a family biz .... blood and business dont mix . When that happens get a HC that is not a puppet as how else do you explain 8 years of being .500 team.

Romo would have done better but not good enough. Romo needed perfection to succeed. He could just put up better stats in failure to make some think nothing was his fault.
