Question for the pro-Dak fans on here?

[Cowboys5217]

He has decent arm strength, decent accuracy, can move in the pocket, and has a decent football IQ. He’s not great in any one area but he’s good enough overall to win a SB in the right system with the right roster.

Not this season. He's been inaccurate even on routine check downs, noodle armed on deep balls, has no mobility to avoid sacks or pick up big scrambling yards, has very little ability to improvise on busted plays, and isn't showing any real leadership.

Seriously, which part of his game is strong right now?

Nobody said it was all Troy.. that’s a false axiom to argue from buddy.

notice how you ignored the fact the turd was doing what he is doing now against the 48ers two years in a row in the playoffs… Dak had been playing in the garbage NFC East his whole career here.

Where was Jerry playing GM at during that time???

 

[Cowboys5217]

I don't absolve Dak of blame, but he can't be expected to carry the offense.

240 million dollars says he must. You demand that kind of scratch then you should play like Tom Brady.

Yes, Tom Brady's team sucked and he carried everyone of them.

 

[Cowboys5217]

I wonder if Jim Kelly played the same time Boy Wonder played??? Kelly's stats dominate Aikman's.

Without the rings Troy is a nobody.

Unfortunately for you, Troy does have those rings.

Arguing "what if" will never defeat "what is".

Tom Brady has more rings than any franchise. I think you can safely say that the GOAT did some carrying.

If you say so.

Exactly. He may not have necessarily carried all the time but he 100% elevated everyone around him.

Dak doesn’t even come close to bringing out the best out of his teammates. He folds like a cheap tent. 60 mil well spent! /s

I’m not really interested in defending Dak — a lessor contract and folks would be less up in arms about him. That said if we magically put Mahomes in this situation and I’m not sure how much better it looks. What would Dak look like in an Andy Reid offense?

This team has problems everywhere. The points this team has given up has nothing to do with Dak.

Actually it does. Very much so. Handing the ball back to the other team giving them great field position will end up in points. Going three and out handing the ball to the other offense will end up in points. Not being able to work the clock will end up in more points for the other crew. Even with a great defense.

Now that's not all on Dak. Working the clock without a proper run game is not that easy. But it's doable. A good run game would also help with getting more first downs, more end zone visits.

With that being said. Dak did have all that. He has a very good o line. He had a Zeke in his prime. He had one of the top defenses. Yet he failed in all clutch situations since forever, at least since the KC game of the 2021 season.

Dak was a fourth round pick for a reason. We have been extremely fortunate with what we have gotten out of him, but in the end he's a mere bus driver. Going as far as the team goes. But Jerry is too dumb to build a team around this bus driver, to have them go all the way.

I was hoping for Flacco/Philly year, but that game against GB put the final nail into the coffin of that strategy. He just can't. Not all his fault, but he just can't. And that's that.

And I won't even go into the comparison with Aikman. That's total nonsense. It's not about stats. It was a whole nother game back then. But it's about performing in clutch situations. Keeping cool under the biggest pressure. Not raking up touchdowns. But that one touchdown when it matters. Aikman could do that, Dak can't. They lost games with Emmitt too you know. Losing the two when he held out just made everyone nervous. Which was good. But Aikman was 33% of the triplets. Without him it also wouldn't have been the triplets. Dak could never be part of such a group.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

Dak has played like trash for getting close to a calendar year, but at this point he's like the 4th thing most wrong with this franchise.

 

[KingCorcoran]

Hes playing like one of the worst right now, and that shouldnt be debated. This thread is about why are there so many excuses made for him?

Because fans will look for the silver lining in a dark cloud. Fans are not going to turn their backs on their favorite team just because their quarterback is not having his best year. Ranting and wailing about Dak is a waste of time. All the comments about what the team should have done in deference to Dak Prescott are pointless.

Nothing is easier than saying all that should be done when you know you don’t have to do any of it.

 

[SultanOfSix]

You must think Troy threw 15 passes per drive for 80 yards. No that was Emmitt Smith grinding out the yards and eating up the clock making it a manageable 3 and for 4 for Troy.

Dude, you keep saying Troy’s success was only because of Emmitt. It’s stupid. How many SBs did Emmitt lead a team without Aikman? Why didn’t Emmitt lead the team to the playoffs when Babe Loft-it-berg was the QB if he was carrying those teams? All they had to do was win two games while Aikman was injured. Your shtick of denigrating one of the most efficient and stone-cold poised QBs in the playoffs is old and tiresome.

That is true for one season. Not 8. Not when everything but the QB has been replaced over the years. Not when the post season losses look all the same on his part. So if you have the back of your team, then you'd demand change on that position also. I was a Dak fan for the first couple of years. Wanted it to work out. But the 2021 season opened my eyes and all the seasons after that have proven me right.

Sorry man, but history dictates turns here. Anything else is just delusion. There is no silver lining unless you like regular season blow out wins against total train wrecks of teams.

Theres looking for silver lining and theres johnny cochran level defense.

Saying this team needs better weapons, cool.

Saying the run game isnt helping, fine.

But blaming receivers for not breaking up a pass that was an awful decision and questioning their effort is insane to me.

Just admit that there are a lot of Dak>>Dallas fans in this fanbase

Dak has had all the things his fans are begging for right now, and he still cant win in the playoffs.

Whatever kind of fan each Cowboys fan is, win, lose or draw, everyone is still going to be here week after week.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

When we lose, that’s because football is a team game and we have weaknesses in the offensive line, at running back, at wide receiver, and the defensive line, and in other spots in the defense too. Plus the coaches suck.

When we win, it’s because Dak won the game

I hope this clears up your confusion.

People start throwing parades when we barely win in a Dink and Dunk effort with minimum points and people starting threads based off of that effort wondering if the quarterback is elite. It would be pure comedy if it wasn't so sad that it is coming from fellow cowboys fans.

Serious Question



Why is Dak always absolved of any blame when it comes to his poor play. After every INT, its either the receiver ran the wrong route or didnt do enough to break the pass up (see both ints when targeting ceedee in the endzone). After every fumble in the pocket (Sacks are a qb stat). And the most frequent excuse is scheme and lack of weapons. Was this not the same scheme when he was 2nd in mvp voting last season?







Cowboys twitter is filled with posts like this one. This is now the third offense where Dak fans have casted blame on the scheme.

The last question I pose is, what supposed top-5 QB have you seen constantly given these excuses for poor play? If he is as good as yall say, shouldnt his talent be able to overcome a “bad scheme”?

Are their any left?

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

What is Jerry good at???

Overpaying for talent?

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

I wonder if Jim Kelly played the same time Boy Wonder played??? Kelly's stats dominate Aikman's.

Without the rings Troy is a nobody.

Again, why do the Dakstans hate our legends so much?

 

[BoysForLife]

Again, why do the Dakstans hate our legends so much?

Because they are Dak fans.
Not Cowboys fans.

There is a distinct difference
