McCarthy: "I love Dak Prescott as our quarterback."

[Praxit]

I LOVE HIM MORE !………

..lol...

 

[MarcusRock]

You sure he wasn't talking about a quarter-pounder with cheese? 4 of them, actually?

 

[erod]

Very true.

Just look at how this board attacks him over an incompletion lol.

No, it's because he sucks badly in big games.

 

[Sarge]

What’s he supposed to say, “I think he sucks and he for sure can’t read defenses, but I’m stuck with him because Jerry loves him?”

 

[lopey]

its 1 thing to be mean, but to have a different standard for him as opposed to Herbert is worthy of conversation and debate. Fans do fan stuff...Im referring to the ridiculous bs by the Tv guys . The media must be held to higher standards in reporting..

If you switch Dak and Herberts teams dak would live in peace because no one cares about the chargers. Cowboys are in the media all the time. Also most people hsve an opinion on cowboys. You either live em or hate em. No one unless a charger fan cares about the team or who the qb is

here is a fun fact, Dak already hold a few Dallas QB records. Imagine he might have them all in 2 years, except the 1 thing that matters, a SB. It isnt all his fault.We are lucky to be stuck with him.

 

[removed_20241105]

Begs the question of McCarthy of why have you had him on a leash? Do you love him because he accepts that? Do you love him cuz the owner loves him?

Prove it, let him operate and let it fly and let’s see where you land. If he flourishes, we all win. Till then, we’ll start the next cycle when they score by 3s and lose again with a 5 yards/pass attack.

I’m game with Dak having carte blanche so we can get where we’re gettin.

I think we have like 27 pages by now over the throw he didn’t attempt to Ferguson.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Boohoo people are mean to Dak. Give me a break.

I don’t think it’s even being mean. All Dallas QBs are compared to Staubach and Aikman. The standard here is high and we expect that a QB in season 8 would have more success under their belt than Dak. Romo endured the same.

Full Quote:
Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy on @MadDogRadio: “I love Dak Prescott as our quarterback. I think the way he’s built all the way through, obviously his physical skill set is excellent. But what he endures mentally and emotionally compared to the other 31 (NFL starting QBs) is unique. Speaking on experience of being around great quarterbacks (Joe Montana, Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, etc.), I’ve never seen a quarterback under a microscope like he is. Just his consistency, his personality and work ethic, and how he handles all that, and navigates all that, and he goes out and performs every week, I think it’s special what he has to endure. … I think the intensity of the microscope on Dak, I’ve never seen anything like it. For him to be as consistent, his attitude is very much the same every day as far as how he attacks the preparation part of it, you have to be unique to deal with that. And this is Year 8 for him, so he’s been dealing with this a long time here. The intensity is nothing like I’ve ever seen.”

Maybe because Dak chokes so often and of course MM is saying what Jerry wants to hear for his job security. Dak must be hearing the chatter why else would he say anything, easiest way to stop it is to win something meaningful. Fat Mike is pathetic.

That’s because he has never won anything and he wants top dollar which causes us to not be able to build a team that can carry him since he can’t carry the team.

Top Ten Percentage of cap

“Never Won Anything” aka “scrubs”

• Joe Burrow - 24.4%
• Justin Herbert - 23.3%
• Lamar Jackson - 23.1%
• Jalen Hurts - 22.7%
• Kyler Murray - 20.5%
• Deshaun Watson - 20.5%
• Josh Allen - 19.1%
• Dak - 17.8%

“Won Something”

• Russel Wilson - 21.6%
• Pat Mahomes - 20.0%

and thus none of them worth that kind of money. So why waste it and not use that money on areas that really make a huge difference instead of paying 50 million for a guy who can't! Invest in your lines over and over again and everything else will take care of itself

It’s the cost of doing business in the NFL.

Check out starting pitchers. Even average dudes make much more than rotational players because pitching, like QB play, is worth more.

Including the playoffs last year, Hurts has won 20 out of 24 games, one loss being the Super Bowl.

If Dak went on that exact same run, the hate would be pretty much over other than oh he should have won the Super Bowl but that'd be the only criticism. Dak instead scored 12 points in his last playoff game and has scored 17, 12 and 10 in his last 3 meetings against the 49ers. He deserves criticism. Plus Dak is in his 8th season, Hurts only his 4th.

What?

Hurts is 31-19-1 (.618)
Dak is 65-38 (.631)

 

[offlimits]

TBH... what would you expect MM to say?

 

[DuncanIso]

This doesn’t end well….

Hurts was horrific his only other season and is pretty bad this year as well. He has stunk most of his career thus far. Could be another Flacco or wentz. 1 dream run and nothing outside of it. If his line doesn't stay top 2 he could be in trouble.

 

[Captain-Crash]

If he had talent he would not need to endure so much.

You're getting awfully close to being negative, buster

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

He loves him so much he's dumbing down the offense for him. He has so much confidence in him he lets the 1st half clock run down so he can kick a FG. His actions speak differently.
