Twitter: No QB Does More When It Matters Less Than Dak Prescott

[atlantacowboy]

I still can't believe Dak's first throw on that last drive was to 3 SF defenders....

That had INT written all over it. If Warner hadn't knocked it down, Lenior had an easy pick 6.

 

[atlantacowboy]

Dak got a raise. Minus CeeDee...everybody who got a pay raise is either hurt or sucking on the field...

Sure, CD is playing well but WR is the last position to pay. Those guys need a lot of dominos to fall right to impact a game. They need a QB looking to get them the ball. They need a solid OL to give the QB time to find them. They need a running game to move the safeties up to take the top off the defense. The CD extension was an error. Everything jerry does is backassward.

That throw alone tells you something isn't clicking in-between the ears.

 

[jblaze2004]

If Washington blows them out it will be MM last game, Jerry will be unbearable to be around

I hope it happens then. This season, I wish we got blown about by 40 points from here on out as long as it makes Jerry Jones uncomfortable. I am sick of the culture he created. But nothing will change. Can someone find some dirt on Jerry that is bad enough that the league will force him to sell the Cowboys like Daniel Snyder did the Commanders.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

I think Dak has all the records now.....

Okay...if you cared to read I did say earlier "in his time".

But of course records will break...it's how it works. If you like to put a BIT of effort showing them instead of heckling from the stands that would be great.


And the next gen of Qbs will break any of dak records. But he owns them IN HIS TIME.

I don’t think it’s that Dak magically plays great when the game is out of reach. He has made enough clutch plays in his time that we can’t say it’s a pressure thing. When defenses want to disguise what they are doing Dak struggles mightily. When teams are way ahead he knows exactly what they are doing and lets it fly with confidence. He also plays well against vanilla defenses.

Can you give us an example of that? Just so we're on the same page. Is two a year/ 5? 10? How do you mean by "made enough"?

No argument here.....It's a team effort. Everyone has to do their part. If the Oline protects better-Dak will be better. Dak is better the receivers will be better. Not to mention a scheme. Everyone misses on this. What makes Mahomes a super star...Andy Reid. On any other team he'd just be a Star. But every q.b. need the machine to function or "NO" quarterback can be good. Dak can be better if the players around him were. And vice-versa. Dak is not going to win a game by himself every Sunday. No q.b. can.

 

[CowboyStar88]

Dak struggles with post snap reads.

 

[bigE79]

Been saying this for years! Garbage Man Dak. Can't wait to see the Commanders get payback for those 50 points blowouts.

Sorry but I could never wish for that,I hate that team..I'm not saying that couldn't happen,but I'm definitely not rooting for that,ever.

 

[Brooksey]

Unlike you I watch more than Dallas... Sunday I saw many quarterbacks throwing int's yet there defense kept the other team from scoring. In this Dallas bizzarro world. Dak has to do everything right for us to win. Mahomes threw 2 int's last week- plus fumbled...Guess what??? They still won. because they are a team. Not one guy!! maybe if the defense hadn't given up 220 rushing yards we win Maybe if Wilson covered Kittles better we win. Maybe if they don't allow the Niners quarterback to scramble for nearly 60 yards we win. Maybe if the coaches had a better game plan we win.....Naw...it's Dak

Mahomes has Worthy, a rookie WR. Dak has Cee Dee Lamb, this is a terrible angle.

Did you see Dak's attempt at a GWD last night? Go ahead and blame the defense

 

[nate dizzle]

They almost came back, the "garbage time" point is dumb and super convenient in hindsight. The entire team is trash.

Almost came back until the niners decided not to let them

Mahomes has a running attack. And a way better Oline. Dak doesn't. Mahome is not facing a 4 man rush with 7 dropping back into coverage every play. Mahomes is not facing 3rd and 6 or greater every 3rd down. Mahomes has Andy Reid.....Really...you want to continue

Although Romo was blamed for the Cowboys’ 2006 playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks—he dropped the snap on a potentially game-winning field goal attempt—he returned to lead the team to a 12–1 start in 2007, the best in franchise history. The Cowboys went on to win their first National Football Conference (NFC) East Division title in nine years, and Romo finished the regular season with 36 touchdowns and 4,211 passing yards.

The very fact you went with this......tells me all the passion/love you have for our beloved Romo. Now can you do a "get in the playoffs with one win" games or "home field advantage in the playoffs" wins, "Return from Cabo" wins, or simply Total playoff wins? You'd find the very stats you displayed, have us in the same boat with our current QB......ringless. And outside of Danny White and Dandy Don Meredith......everybody on the list has a SB ring. Kudos for spending time on such, but I'm still viewing results just as being shown a donkey......but being told it's a racehorse, like I have for the Dak/Romo tenures whether you like it not. Again, kudos for running the numbers. You certainly love Romo for sure.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

You certainly love Romo for sure.

Almost as much as you hate him.

 

[Aliencowboy]

There may not have ever been a QB who thrives on garbage time the way Dak Prescott does.

Last night in the first 3 quarters he goes 16-23 for 116 yards, 0 TDs, and 2 INTs to help put the Cowboys down 17.

Then when the game is basically out of reach he goes 9-11 for 127 yards and 2 TDs.

Then the defense gets a 3 and out and suddenly the Cowboys have the ball back with a chance to win with 3 minutes left and he goes 0-4

I said this two weeks ago: Garbage time is Dak's time to shine! 60 million dollars worth

 

[Cmac]

Almost as much as you hate him.

I actually loved and hoped for Romo. No need for you to determine it. I'm good. All good SteveTheCowboy.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Why did you leave Dak off all the rankings?

You havent corrected my error yet?

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Sure....very obvious....you've already said as much obviously. I see your great love for romo...wow impressive!
Glad you are good.
