I'm not even reading that story but I'm gonna tell you right now if that's your reaction if that's what it means Troy Aikman also was one of the highest paid guys in the league never asked to do anything on his own very limited his touchdown interception ratio was not very good but guess what they did one of the best run games in the history of football and that including the offensive line and the coaching philosophy from top to bottom the team was protecting the quarterback if you look at it your way but for me that's what you call team play that's what you call situational football or as Mike McCarthy likes to say it's complementary football this has always been a team game...
Totally putting it on one player putting on their shoulders to be Superman when everything else around him is crumbling this is like saying that we don't need to fix the defense to go ahead and let it be like it was because we should expect the quarterback to score 45 points a game you know the old Tony Romo defense that's ridiculous a run game is important not just a single player like Derrick Henry but the philosophy to use a fullback and short yardage and to be able to run with other people you know like the 49ers no one's asked Brock Purdy to do Jack **** on his own I mean show me rock party when he misses one or two of his stars we're both offensive lines he doesn't look very good this has always been a team game there aren't many players in this league that can carry a team including quarterbacks...
So the assumption or the insinuation that fixing our run game and our offensive line that we shouldn't also have a good quarterback that means Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach were nothing but pawns and figure pieces because I watched those teams I know who they were they were run first they were defensive minded and then the quarterback did his thing they were never Superman they were never asked to do anything on their own not one of them carried their teams...
So let's make sure before you start spouting off at the mouth acting as if we make this a Prescott friendly offense that somehow that's a knock on the quarterback and that we don't need a good quarterback the market for a top ten quarterback is what it is if you think you can win 36 games two division titles and go to the playoffs three straight years in the last three seasons with some spare part at quarterback you haven't been watching..
Daniel Jones just got a $42 million contract and as much as they might regret that they did that because that is the going rate that's the bottom market right now for a top ten quarterback and Daniel Jones is not even a top ten quarterback...
So let's choose our words better when we're talking about improving the team as if it's because Prescott can't do his job no the people around him are not doing their jobs it's makes it tough for him to do his job and that includes the defense but especially we have never put it all together while we've had a run game an offensive line and a defense in the same playoff game all show up to play because I guarantee you when that happens Prescott wins those games...
So like I said I watch Brock Purdy I watch guys like Josh Allen have big slumps in the middle of the season when they lose their guys or their guys aren't doing all the work I mean do we not just see Josh Allen only have to throw for 90 yards and watch his running back run over us to win that game against us So what are are we gonna talk about Josh Allen's contract and how he shouldn't be paid since they gave the running back all those carries?
And again I've watched many quarterbacks in this league that are considered top notch half slumps when their teams are not doing well and that includes penalties and all the other garbage that goes along with complementary football in which we have never really found in the playoffs all in the same game...
So let's stop blaming the quarterback for him needing a better team around him the same goes with the head coach I mean literally you can't put together great game plans if your pieces are not there...
