Official Dak Prescott Thread **merged**

Nah, the defense blew yesterday... That's a very valid excuse. QB made a few mistakes, but he wasn't the reason that game was lost.

Ya...Red zone turnovers don't cost points or anything of the sort.

How has everyone turned into a blind dak Homer?

Literally, the excuse generator is in full force to not blame dak for not scoring more points...Turnover? Meh...Who cares about turnovers!

People need to stop the dak lovefest and be objective.

Objectivity doesn't seem like something you're capable of here

Whose not being objective? I stand by the fact that except for the very questionable INT, he played well. which is what I said earlier in the thread. I got no issues with Dak's play yesterday. That INT didn't cost the team, because Heath intercepted Roger and GB didn't capitalize off of it.

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

We can win a SB with Dak as the QB, but he was anointed too soon... That interception did not help either...

Lol what.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Tony played with worse defenses all the time and won. Defense isn't an excuse anymore.

He won two playoff games in ten years. Take it easy there.

 

[SDCowboy]

OK so if you switch qb's before the game green bay still wins ?

If you take each of their production with them, yes. Dak had better numbers.

 

[MrPeanutbutter]

What about Dak Prescott's performance makes anyone think Romo would be better? He had an amazing game. Romo could possibly match it, but he is even more prone to turnovers.

 

[Clarkson]

Very proud of Dak. The future looks bright. I hope the coaches don't waste his future like they did Tony's.

coaches? i'd say it was more so the front office. but this roster is set up for the future (and the now) far better than it ever was with Romo. The whole offense is young. Now, if they continue to ignore the DE position, they are dooming the team.

 

[JJHLH1]

Dak had better numbers, and he was also in a much harder position being down 21-3 early, and down 15 points in the 4th quarter. He still led the Cowboys back to tie the game twice. It was one of the most clutch performances I've seen for a Cowboys player.

 

[Clarkson]

Dak did a great job as a rookie, but the INT should not have been thrown.

The call was stupid, but he should seen there was no chance on that play and threw it away or taken the sack.

dude, Hyde just read that play perfectly. There's nothing Dak could really do. We don't even run that play a lot and yet somehow they knew it was coming. That was just a great read by the defender.

 

[Supercowboy1986]

Loses with dak starting

Giants by 1
Giants by 3
Don't count philly game
Green Bay by 3

Although we lost I am very encouraged. Every loss was a few plays away from wins. The future looks good with our new offensive core.

 

[KB1122]

He went toe to toe with the GOAT qb in his first playoff game.

Otto Graham was playing for the Packers?

 

[Baileyneverfailey]

All season people have been claiming that Dak is getting to play conservatively, that he'll show he's a rookie if a team jumps on top of him and he has to throw his team back into the game. Well how about a 21-3 deficit where he just clutches up and gives the team a chance to win?

If not for a ridiculous miracle 3rd and 20 sideline catch by a guy who hardly ever makes plays like that there's a good chance nobody would be talking about anything this week except how much of a hero Dak is.

The future is bright for him, no matter how badly the loss hurts.

 

[Venger]

Prescott and the offense played very very well considering what a mess the defense put them in during the first half...this loss is on Garrett's decisions and mistakes and the terrible cold start by the defense.

I am not going to defend the defense, and Garrett and the staff made choices today and in previous weeks that led to today, but... the cold start by the defense? What was the offense putting up while the defense was cold? Exactly. The whole team wasn't ready to play today. Green Bay didn't get three touchdowns on one possession - while their offense put up 21, our offense put up 3. Green Bay showed up on both sides of the ball, our team didn't show up on both sides of the ball. To their credit, the offense stormed back and the defense kept Green Bay close. But you cannot go down 21-3 in this league against a good team and expect to win. And I do tire of needing to point out what should be obvious - you don't go down 21-3 without your offense failing to perform.

 

[Venger]

With the amount of Dak slobbering going on in here, you would think that we won if you didn't watch the game... lol. I thought Dak gave it his all and was really great in the second half. He is far down the list of any reasons they lost. But bottom line, they were down 21-3 in a game they got the ball first. And when the extra point sailed through to make it 21-3, our offense was not sustaining anything against their horrible, injury riddled defense and Dak was 4-10 with a sack. The horrible start killed the game, and Dak was the captain of the ship. He recovered and played a good game, but far from great.

Occasionally, someone gets it...

Again, your entire premise was THAT PICK cost Dallas the game

How many points did we get on that drive? Zero. At their 21, 22 yard line? That was a costly pick. That said, NO ONE is saying THAT PICK cost Dallas the game. It did not cost us the game any more than the play to let GB get their final field goal. Or that holding penalty that stalled our first quarter drive. Or...

I think Dak played well. Other than that very questionable pass in the red zone, he played well. No complaints with him. His individual play didn't cost the game.

That slow start was a killer and that was the team as a whole.

Yes, the whole team, offense and defense, Dak and Carr, Free and Durant, all started slow, and dug a hole they could not get out of, despite their efforts.

 

[Venger]

Yeah, it was THAT ONE PLAY THAT RESULTED IN 0 POINTS FOR BOTH TEAMS that decided the game.

Gosh, this logic is so bad it deserves it's own reply.

If I fumble the ball at the opponents goal line, and the opponent takes possession and then punts it away, you account that as "ONE PLAY THAT RESULTED IN 0 POINTS FOR BOTH TEAMS". The fact is when you turn the ball over deep in the opponents territory, you turn (with Bailey) almost guaranteed points into zero points. The fact that it resulted in 0 points for both teams IS the point, just not the one you think you are making... you think it excuses the interception. No, sir, it damns it, because it makes a scoring drive into a non-scoring one.

 

[Venger]

Dak outplayed Aaron Rogers. He deserved a win.

Have your residence checked for radon, soon.

 

[Oh_Canada]

dude, Hyde just read that play perfectly. There's nothing Dak could really do. We don't even run that play a lot and yet somehow they knew it was coming. That was just a great read by the defender.

Also Bryant could have run better interference there, but in the end it was a great play.

Well by that logic Brice Butler is more at fault than anyone since he dropped a TD pass.

 

[BlueStar22]

I see some talking about Dak's interception. A good playcaller doesn't even call that play when you have a stud at RB and their defense hasn't stopped him all day. I see Le'Veon Bell with 30 carries for 170 and Zeke with 22. Again, 8 more carries probably gives us another TD instead of one of those early FGs. Ride your horse, he's 22.
