Met Dan Mullen last night

[Whirlwin]

What's the truth ? Is it what you say it is? If he said Dak sucks, that's subjective truth. meaning it's subject to his opinion. Just as your OPINION is subjective.

But a True fan would be supportive ! Oh yeah ,that's right that MY subjective truth

See how this works

But that’s not a true friend that’s an acquaintance. That’s the major difference see how that works.

 

[Whirlwin]

You only half finished that sentence.

“A true friend would tell the truth to Dak and lie through their teeth to anyone else”

A true friend would tell the truth. And the truth comes from Prescott, not the friends opinion. Because if you really are a friend, your buddy tells you .

 

[Whirlwin]

A true friend isn’t going to say anything negative.

Then they wouldn’t have said anything at all. Unless the guy is a liar, and then I don’t want him as a friend. Too many different ways to look at this, but if you really knows, Prescott, then he was just repeating what he was told. So I guess it’s not a fault or a truth. It’s still just someone else’s opinion.

 

[KJJ]

That’s not a friend I want. Tell it like it is. Just my opinion.

Then you’re different.

 

[CWR]

Which means what? He was trying less in recent seasons?

I would think the implication being the scheme change will be good for him

Aikman had 141 INTS to only 165 Tds hardly agreta td-INT ratio on better teams with better coaches..what was his excuses, he had a HOF OL HOF RB HOF HOF WR & Coaches? Dak has 65 for his career with already 166 tds 26 rushing tds, half that of the great Pmanning in the same number of games.. we saw Stafford lead the league in iNTs with 17 and throw 2 in a SB win..thats the difference, its better teams can overcome some mistakes in games and we havent been good enough to do so.. that the long and short of it.

I mean so Dak who was 37-10 in 2021 when Mahomes was 37-13... I guess Daks also elite., Huh.. better teams better coaching will cover up flaws..

these hate posts acting as Daks somehow bene the issue win the playoffs and our lack of success jumping over one season in which he had more then his average INTs without context is ridiculous at best..

OL pass protection was averages to below average iE pass rush win rate against them bottom, 10- this caused issues with tipped balls, his arm being hit or jersey grabbed on follow throughs
WR terrible getting serparation and when they did get open dak hits thme in the hands and they turn into INTs
WR falling down or getting bumped off their routes.
Play calls ie route design not good.
NO RUN GAME- biggest issue last 3 playoff losses also lead back to OL, OL that cant open holes and is average to below average in pass protection , the OL that had 11 penalties in playoff games, also no run game..

so les be clear yes too many INTs, half of which were not bad throws or bad decisions those were on the above issues.. facts not hyperbole dak typically doesn't throw a lot of picks 65 is actually not even close to being abnormal.

hes top 10 qb and when they get to payoff game and cant run the ball, block or have a lot of team support, they lose..give him that run game Mahomes got in the SB , no sacks given up, Dak has shown he can win those games. yet hes blamed when the team offense just doesn't come to play.. Its team game

He ain't aging fine like wine but I'm afraid he's past his peak and now he plays desperate. Recipe for disaster.

Prescott's high school coach would tell you the same thing.

Say what you will about the man but I do not believe I have ever seen a player unable to outright win the starting QB job in high school, college and the NFL but once in it, refuse to give it up when the original starter is ready to start again. Have any of you seen anything like that? It's like some crazy twist of fate but it has happened to this guy at all three levels.

That ain't normal so when I look at him, I do not think he's like other players I've watched over the years.

I see the warts and the excuse making for the picks is amusing, you can make that case for every QB that ever threw one.

And as far as the money he's making? Do you think 40M QB's are supposed to play it safe? How many have you seen once they get the big bucks, they think they have to win it all by themselves? You can start with that in Buffalo because that new deal gave Allen Superman Complex and he will not receive half the spotlight Prescott gets because of the team he plays for and Bills fans love their players more than any fans. That's why a lot of them retire there. You ever think about retiring in Buffalo, NY? Me neither.

Ya know what's not fair? How in the hell can the QB go from exalted to exhumed in one week of the playoffs? Do we just ignore the performance the week before and label him with his last game?

If posters would stop looking for evidence of an established belief and open their minds, they would enjoy this a lot more. He is a very intriguing player, maybe the most in the league,

Aren't you intrigued by how this is all being set up for this season? QB under fire for leading the league in picks and he is more than aware he is under fire. So, they let his buddy OC walk and he now gets a play caller that called for Favre and Rodgers and they let his buddy RB walk as well.

However, consider this about this guy. This guy is that guy I am talking about in that second paragraph so I do not underestimate what he is capable of doing.

I really like this post. I have my doubts at this point about his ability to lead this team to a super bowl, but I do appreciate his resiliency. The guy has worked to maximize his abilities, but I don't think folks are wrong to question whether it will ever be enough on the NFL level. It's not for most NFL quarterbacks. This is the best of the best after all. Damn hard to win in this league for a reason.

 

[ESisback]

For Dak haters, Mullen is an unknown whose opinion means less than nothing. For Dak lovers, a guru whose opinion means a Dallas SB. The normal people are somewhere in the middle.

Funny thing about this whole thread is. The people who claim to “know football” don’t know who Dan Mullen is but expect us to take their comments and thoughts as though they are well versed and football smart! It’s laughable

Although I know who he is, there are probably plenty on here like me who do not watch college football. That doesn't mean they aren't football smart. It just means they only pay attention to the pro game.

When it comes to the draft, I have to research players because I normally have not seen them play in college. That's one reason I don't get all bent out of shape about who they take. The most I've done is watched highlight videos, read draft experts' take on them and read what is posted by members here.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Who's Dan Mullen?

His former coach at Mississippi State.

But you don’t come on here bragging about your football knowledge. My comment wasn’t directed at people like you. You make statements due to facts. You don’t say “eye test”. Lol

I met Beyoncé at the airport and made an inappropriate comment. Her bodyguard body-slammed me on the floor.

I think deep inside we all question if he can lead this team to a SB. It’s a fair question. But the disrespect is where I can’t agree.

There is a severe and laughable overestimation of Dan Mullen's name recognition... lol. I'm not going to scroll back and find it but someone compared this to not knowing who Nick Saban was lol. You'll find random non football fans on the street who know who Saban is.... I saw the thread and had to think about it for a second, I knew who he was, probably only because of his connection to Dak.

It has nothing to do whether you are pro Dak or not.... Plenty of NFL fans would not know Dan Mullen.... He is far from one of the well known NFL talent evaluators lol. Really if you aren't a college football fan or could care less about FL or Mississippi State (Honestly, how many people follow Mississippi State...) I'm not saying your not a football fan because you don't know Dan Mullen!

And some posters here are not followers of the college game. I know a lot of the SEC and Big 12 guys but ACC not so much because I don't follow it that closely.

I would have liked to have heard Mullen address why he didn't start Prescott until he had to and why he didn't bench him when the starter came back. What is it about him that changes from the guy that can't take the job to the guy that won't give it up?

And how bizarre is it how he became the starter when he was 3rd string and the 3rd choice in the draft? It was as if the path was cleared for his rise.

I watched him quite a bit from his junior season on and I never gave him much of a chance other than to be a backup because when the good SEC D's showed up and forced him to be a passer, he was all over the place. Hell, I saw him throw several of those Mahomes' No Look passes only they were not intentional.

sorry hes not the issue, plain to see..good try though.

You are referring to me. And yes. If you watch college football Dan Mullen is a very recognizable name.

And I wasn't making that comment to the people who watch only the NFL. I was directing that comment to the people who claim to know more about everyone on this board about football and draft analysis etc. You know. The arrogant ones who pretend if you dont agree with them you know nothing about football? Thats who I was directing that comment at.

Do I have to repeat myself?? I mean it's really really easy to see that those lists are actual facts that I keep pounding on

it's easy to make a quarterback seem desperate when he has a dirty pocket and his receivers are not getting any separation

they have no run game at times against the better defenses, I mean he's literally playing with one hand he and lamb in the 49er game that's all they had on offense. schultz and gallup making mistakes , pollard going down, again NO RUN GAME as well.

Seriously, it's pretty obvious but there are bigger problems on the offense in the games with the better defensive lines the better front sevens when you take away the run game and you have an offensive line that doesn't block very well they never seem to be In Sync there's always one or two lineman that are allowing an easy penetration into the backfield of course he's going to look rushed.

Go back and look at the last three playoff losses it's all the same thing the offensive line they literally are not opening holes there's no run game they're allowing easy penetration I mean you have 11 penalties on them in 2021 and you're going to blame that on Prescott it's apparent they're overmatched they're not physical enough and that will wreck an entire offense when you don't have a line working together well with no run game and the pass protection is suspect..

right a qb will flourish with all that garbage yet we see Allen, Lawarence, and burrows this past playoffs make more mistakes and their team finds ways to win as a Team in many of those games.. Stafford leads the league in ints and throws 2 in a sb they WIN!

 

[Ranching]

Having an opinion on football, but not knowing who Dan Mullen is, is like having an opinion on the USA and not knowing who Chester A Arthur is.

SMH. lol

That's why their opinions are comical....

Well, last time my eyes were tested, the doc said I needed to switch to bifocals, so I've learned not to completely trust them (my eyes, not doctors ... although ...)
