Prescott had a much better game than some are giving him credit for

[gimmesix]

yes..this, if we clean up our 3rd and shorts (Which we did in the 2nd) throughout the game this thing can look really good.

Right. And no one should blame those on Dak. The running plays failed us there. It certainly wasn't nearly all his fault that we stalled out in the first half. He had some plays he should have made and we had some plays that others should have made. That's how this game works, so it always puzzles me when some just want to blame one player.

its the same people over and over....doesnt matter what happens, if we win with ball control offense "Dak makes to much money to win this way" if we lose 41 to 39 "We need to run the ball more and be ball control"...makes no sense.

He wasn’t bad but he wasn’t great. He definitely looked rusty the first half.

Dak group hug!

He did for sure and got better the 2nd and will get better but by no means do i want to see the air raid offense back, keep him under center run the ball and make your passing game 50 to 60% PA...thats what this defense needs to help it and this defense is something you can win games in january with.

Based on games played and career stats, here is what the average game for Dak looks like:

22 completions
33 attempts
66.7% Comp %
258 yards
1.6 TD's
.59 INT's

Albeit a much smaller sample size given he only has 6 career starts, here is what the average game for Cooper Rush looks like:

20 completions
34 attempts
58.8% Comp %
241 yards
1.3 TD's
.67 INT's

Again, clearly comparing 6 games started to 87 is apples to oranges but given those that celebrate Dak's passing stats, especially the last few years, the stats say what they say.

Not when you throw the ball at least 25 times. Guys like you simply search for any kind of problem because you are a troll.

Had this been Rush you would be blessing him up and down hailing him as better for the team than Dak. I heard you do it for 5 weeks prior.

The difference was that Rush was producing throughout the game while it was still being contested. When the pressure was on, Rush actually answered the call.
Dak did his usual. He barely existed until the game was no longer a contest, then padded his stats.

What do they say to you? one is better even with the small sample size of the other? again if your point is about the contract, i will ask you this..For this season who give this current roster the best chance to win? You have a upgrade at QB this offseason then fine lets do it. But for this season with this defense who is the best QB on this roster?

First game back and didn’t lose the game

The contract isn't an issue this season but it certainly is next season at a $49M cap hit, which of course will have to be restructured as Dallas can't carry that number (thereby ruling out a 1st round QB should Dallas have ever considered that anyway).

What the numbers say is that some want to paint Dak as a prolific passer with great stats when the fact is he should be more of what he was between 2016-2018: a QB that allows the defense and running game to dictate the game as that gives Dallas a better chance at team success.

If Dak can do that the remainder of this year and beyond then great as it benefits the team.....which is ultimately what matters.

This 100%

The issue of Dak's contract is a very reasonable discussion to have, but nothing we can do about that for 2022. Might as well play the guy who gives you the best chance to win. If Rush hadn't laid an egg in Philly maybe it's a different conversation, but his flaws have become undeniable. Rush is one of the better backups in the league, but Dak is the only starting caliber QB this team has. If there is a reasonable solution to replace Dak in the offseason i'm all ears, but that is an offseason conversation.

And there are for sure people on both sides that are extreme, why focus your arguments to it? Again if you truly think Rush close to Dak thats an opinion I dont share..if you know that Dak is the best QB on this current roster and your Cowboys fan then you back him and see that a ball control offense with this defense can take us where we all want to go.

So when Rush comes bakc its a Great comeback not matter what the offense looked like during the game, but when Dak comes back and wins its padding stats..lol ok Lee

You posted nothing and you didn't compare Dak to Rush?

"Prescott had a 100.8 passer rating. The score bumped his rating to 113.2.

113.2 is the best passer rating by a Cowboys QB all season.

Rush’s season high was 107.5 in the Week 4 win over Washington. It was his only rating above 100 the entire season."

That is what you posted.....why lie about what you posted? Interesting when you claim others lie.

that was a piece of the article that posted. Lol

are you going to throw a tantrum?

 

[CowboyRoy]

Whatever my man. In this thread you made a claim that Dak played well, and when presented with different opinions you've thrown out insults, and blamed others for the offensive shortcomings.

You've talked up Dak as the top scoring QB, but change the narrative when needed saying he just needed to drive the bus.

You've talked about how Dak is better than Rush, but then justify similar results.

You've posted content just to deny that you ever posted it or that you agree with said content.

It seems pretty clear that you are more of a Dak Prescott fan than a Dallas Cowboy fan, and that's fine. If that makes you happy more power to you, but it makes it extremely difficult to have respect for your opinion on the subject. I love to discuss the pros and cons of Dak Prescott, but that can't be done with someone who can only see things from one side.

Dak did play well for what they asked him to do. He’s also much better than rush.

glad your paying attention.

 

[CowboyRoy]

lol.... I was at the Lions game Sunday.... did I miss something or was it 10-6 with 4 minutes left and the Lions have the ball. Thats not a nail biter?

It is a nail biter. Apparently you like those. I would rather the cowboys get more aggressive with the offense and Dak.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Just win baby!

5-2

 

[CowboyRoy]

Ii can't be as bad as the bs you create.

such as?

 

[CowboyRoy]

Nah the only reason he is having a bad season is his wife Giselle. He is worried that she is going to take him to the cleaners in his divorce settlement.

Well your not paying attention. She has more money than him. He’s going to get over 100 million in the divorce. The guy is a genius,

How childlike.....

He really is. Immature intolerant. with anger issues
