CFZ Prescott's interceptions aren't the issue

[CCBoy]

First off, I want nothing more than to see Dak , Martin, and Parsons hoist the Lombardi


Having delivered that caveat, the 2 best things I can say about Dak is that he at one time never got injured and didn’t throw many picks, ( although he led the league in fumbles 2 other years)

Today however, he is often injured and often picked off…….and we ALL want this season to be free of injury and limit the turnovers.

He was only high in interceptions this past year and most injuries fall back on the need to run or having his body thrown at the turf on passing plays.

I wonder how many interceptions Dak would have had, if Gallup was actually a viable #2 option all season. As far as SF goes, I bet if Pollard didn't go down & we had 2 starter worthy receivers we would have had a much better chance.

Problem was that CeeDee was all they had to worry about in the 2nd half.

A lot of receiving options were pretty meh last year.
Somebody recently gave the EPA (expected points added) analysis of our skill players as receiving targets.
Schultz, Gallup, Elliot were all negative. That's a lot of dead weight routes Dak had to make up for.

Try as may be, one just can't excuse away consecutive 12 win seasons...that is money in the bank.

Those all have to be won and not all were wins against bottom hung teams.

Of course not. NOTHING separates Dallas from being a good team...a team good enough to win a wild card game and double digit wins.

The OP stated however that we were the best team in the NFL (except for the QB)....along with the Bengals

Stating we are good enough to win double digit games and make it to a divisional round game is one thing (we are there)....stating we're the best team in the NFL (with the minor detail of not having an elite QB) is quite different.

Not saying you are wrong, but you pretty much literally described the ways any QB gets injured. HIs are just becoming more frequent unfortunately.

Here and now it wouldn't be hard to make a good case to the current best team in the NFC is the winner between Philadelphia and Dallas.

Roger Staubach retired after over 20 concussions. I guess the many similar injuries of both Romo and Prescott means nothing more than injury to you as well?

Troy wasn't far behind Roger.

His int in the playoff game before half was a huge reason we lost that game. Not only did it take at least 3 potential points off our total…. But SF ended up getting a fg before half.

You want to argue we shouldn’t have been passing on 2nd and 2 fine…. But ultimately dak made the terrible read and throw.

Anything in that situation…. Even take a sack woulda been better. Cause the clock woulda at least ran. It was a high risk unnecessary throw. He needs to be better with his decision making

 

[Jipper]

I'll stop saying it when I stop being right.

Well I'll give you credit for standing behind your views...I think you are torturing yourself but that's your prerogative.

I hope you have the view that you personally hope your view is proved wrong and dak cones through enough to get the team to an nfcc game or beyond.

We shall see

And Diggs dropped int and whiff on kittle was just as huge

Injury to pollard was huge. Always more than 1 reason you lose a team game

Momentum changers that put the Cowboys into an overcome the negative in a more complex mode against an overall, solid team.

Yes sir! honestly the packers and jags loss were huge because that put you on the road against a better team

They weren’t going to beat the 9ers and eagles on the road

Dak has never thrown a lot of interceptions; that always impressed me. So, as much as I like Kellen Moore, I would tend to put the interceptions from last year on him- asking Dak to do too much.
Dak's issue is his inability to be the reason that the Cowboys win against teams when the pressure is on; his tendency to choke rather than step up when things aren't going well.
The Cowboys and the Bengals were the two best teams in the NFL last year, and those two teams should have been in the Super Bowl. Yet Dak was terrible against the 49'ers, even though the defense had San Francisco well under control. Brock Purdy was in over his head, and not yet ready for a game against the Cowboys with that much at stake. Even if he had been, the 49'ers were not as good as Dallas if the Cowboys had a real quarterback.
The Cowboys should have easily beaten the Niners, and Philadelphia would have fallen as well if Dallas had the talent under center to match the rest of the team. The Cowboys can chalk a lost Super Bowl opportunity up to Dak. And it's not the first one.
This is how bad Dak hurts the team. He seems like a great guy, but he's never stepped up when a real quarterback would. Expect the same this season.
The Bengals were unfairly made to play on the road, despite having the best team, because of the Damar Hamlin event that cost them a win and unfairly awarded home field to the Chiefs.
Mike McCarthy will have to find away around Dak if he expects success.

Tully Blanchard of the Horsemen, hope your guys have your back. This may not go to good. Lol

Don't let this distract you from the the fact that in 1966, Al Bundy scored four touchdowns in a single game while playing for the Polk High School Panthers in the 1966 city championship game versus Andrew Johnson High School, including the game-winning touchdown in the final seconds against his old nemesis, "Spare Tire" Dixon

Sorry, I was staring at Kelly. Did you say something?

Peggy and Marcy got me going.

Dak over Dallas fans never cease to amaze.

Dak plays for the Dallas Cowboys dumb ***... Our fans root for all of our players. Take ya weak *** back over to the Commanders board and try to figure out why Dak has owned your trash team his whole career.....

 

[basel90]

Dak's inability to win important and playoff games, and his constant choking when pressured is well documented. He is what he is and the cowboys will need a super elite defense to overcome that and win a SB . a tall task

 

[Captain-Crash]

I think Fat Mike wanted him to take more chances. I think he said he could live with the bad results.

Neither do Bas Dak over Dallas Cult.

You said it literally. You want see Dallas lose. So that you can Bash Dak.
