Milton would have gotten a 1st down on his own on 4th and inches on first possession

[exciter]

Have gotten us a first down on his own on 4th and inches on the first possession. 6’5” 230. He should be on the 53 not SH who is a journeyman at best. 21 TDs and 22 Interceptions in his career. And he is the safer choice? Give me a break. And OBTW, Dak had wide eyed frat in his eyes before the game. He is the ultimate Choker!!

Too bad he can't read a defense well enough to get them to the 4th and 1/2 yard to make the attempt!

I agree with you on Dak but Milton ain’t the answer in any way, shape or form. Dak is an average QB. Milton is not an nfl caliber QB.

You said Dak is an average quarterback? Ok cool, I respect your opinion.

Let me ask you this though. How does an average quarterback consistently put up top 10 production out of 70+ quarterbacks every year he has finished the the season healthy, become an All-Pro and MVP candidate?

We all know that Dak isn't elite but how does an average NFL quarterback do those things? For context, please give us the names of other average quarterbacks who have been top 10 their whole career, become an All-Pro and MVP candidate.

Last season, Dak up top 5 production behind a 21st ranked offensive line. Again, how does an average quarterback do these things?

That’s what I’m asking I can’t find 4th and inches conversions what site are you looking at?

I wouldn't know where to find that stat. I watch every snap of every game. Dak is not a sure thing on sneaks. Not by a longshot.

Dak is 6-02" and 230, he would have gotten inches......anyone 5-09" would have gotten the inches.

Dak's panic look might have been child support lol.

What is an elite percentage?
compare Dak Prescott 4th and 1 QB keep success % to all NFL QB's

The Defense Rests. He is below league avg on sneaks.
75-80%.
League Avg 82% to 86%.
Elite: 91% to 93%

Dak Prescott has historically converted around 75% to 80% of his traditional short-yardage quarterback keeps and sneaks on fourth-and-1, performing slightly below elite historical sneak specialists but near the standard NFL quarterback baseline.

Dak Prescott vs. NFL Benchmarks

• • Dak's Career Rate: Broadcast tracking and team metrics have often noted Dak Prescott around 15-of-20 (75%) to 18-of-19 (approx. 95% in specific multi-year stretches) on traditional 4th-and-1 conversions with Ezekiel Elliott, though broader career tracking places his general standard sneak success near 75–80%. [1, 2]
  • League Average on Sneaks: Across the entire NFL, standard quarterback sneaks on 3rd or 4th-and-1 convert at roughly an 82% to 86% rate, making the standard sneak one of the most efficient plays in football. [1, 2]
  • Elite Tier (Jalen Hurts / Tom Brady): Elite sneak runners like Jalen Hurts (with the Philadelphia Eagles' "tush push") convert at a staggering 92% to 93% clip, and historical standard sneak maestro Tom Brady retired with a career success rate above 91%. [1, 2, 3]
  • League Baseline: Non-QB running back runs on 4th-and-1 succeed only about 66% to 67% of the time, proving that standard QB keepers like Prescott's are still a much safer bet than handing the ball off. [1, 2]
