Schottenheimer on Dak: He's gonna play elite level football

[StarBoyz83]

I'll settle for top 12 qb play if he can do that. He's top 20 for now

 

[cowboyec]

WIN.

 

[Havic]

Is this confirmation he wasnt playing at an elite level before?

 

[OGSixshooter]

This is beyond ridiculous after yesterday. C'mon...please...let this nightmare END.

 

[nobody]

Dak couldn't be elite if his life depended on it. Elite QBs don't choke in the playoffs. Dak's cooked. 2024 proved it.

 

[DandyDon52]

He also said he was gonna coach dak and work closely with him.
Then run the ball more and better which will help, also another good wr would help.

 

[gimmesix]

Well, Dak did play at an elite level No-Schott's first year as coordinator here ... up until the playoffs. So it just depends on the interpretation of elite.

 

[5Stars]

Because Jerry told me to tell you. HOF Jerry $ones.

 

[noshame]

That's a understatement

 

[CyberB0b]

Against garbage teams

 

[StarLord]

Dak's going to play at an elite level now... Welp, he's got me convinced!

 

[Redsfan_83]

Well there ya have it, another loser/butt kisser. Jerry sure did get his guy, didn't he?

 

[grgnfg420]

We’re waiting…

 

[FVSTONE]

And we’re all going to pitch in and buy the Cowboys…….LOL!!!!

 

[CowboyStar88]

Comedy hour at the star.

 

[CowboyStar88]

if they invest in a DL, OL and RB he might be able to play at an elite level... Only time will tell.

The highest paid player needs every position upgraded to play at an elite level? Like he hasn’t had elite talent at various stages of his career? But the year he needed to put up with the richest contract in NFL history he was a disaster. 10 years has told us everything we need to know. It’s wasted time.

A yes, those QBs really thrive and ascend to elite playoff level football in year 10.

Do even the Cowboys believe in the shameless hope they try to force feed the homers?

 

[nate dizzle]

What is elite level football?

Is it being the best bus driver?
Is it having great stats?

Alex Smith was a great bus driver, great stats, and yet two teams shipped him out once they found a guy with the wow factor.

Did you watch the Bills/Chiefs game? That's elite level QB.

Dak will never get near that level, especially in a big game.

He's still working on his footwork he said...year 10.

Not one, not two, not three.....

I just hope he gets in the best shape of his life this off season.

Best shape of his life was many moons ago. He's more brittle of late and I've said it the past two seasons that his running comes with much higher risks than when he was a rookie. Prescott can't do what Hurts, Allen, Daniels, Jackson and other young bucks can do. He was never really fast to begin with. Whatever he has left to do as the Cowboys QB he will have to do IN (and from) the pocket. And that means a renewed, pronounced focus on the o-line and RB.

Personally, I think the window has passed him by. The Cowboys have fallen back from where they were in 21-22'. The conference and the division are now far more hostile to a potential championship run.
