SI - Dak Prescott Is Finally Getting Credit He’s Long Deserved

[Direwolf63]

There is no denying the fact that Dak is playing great football right now. It is at an MVP level

But the final grade will be assessed once the season is over. And how much success this teams earns.

Playoff performance will ultimately be the final measure. I hope it will be positive

 

[Proof]

But he’s played well before. The issue now is he can’t get past the 49ers. But he played well at times last year he’s played well throughout his career he got 40 million a year for a reason is all I’m saying

sure. just not *this* well for such a stretch. imo. same like romo i 14

He was really good last year, huh? How many picks were there?

Half of those 15 picks were not Dak's fault. They were caused by the receivers themselves, weren't they? I know you saw every game last season.

Why are you butt hurt the Cowboys are winning?

I love their winning, I’m not Dak obsessed and don’t consider winning a few games against beat up opponents a great accomplishment I wait for the end result.

How many did he have, serious question, because I did not know that?

I think he has 96 turnovers since coming into the league.

He gets a pass though because he makes throws no one else can. According to Orlovsky

Anyone with a screen and an opinion could find any number of throws that embody Dak Prescott’s elite stretch within this special season.

How’s this one? First quarter, at home, Week 13 against the Seahawks. Prescott drops back, pocket not collapsing but tightening around him. He steps decisively into the throw, zinging a pass downfield to CeeDee Lamb with three defenders nearby, close but not close enough.

Or this one: same game, second quarter, Seahawks ahead, 7–3. The Cowboys are in the red zone. Lamb motions to the right. Prescott fakes a handoff as he drops back, with nary a defender in sight. Lamb, despite double coverage, wiggles open, and the amount of time between wiggle and throw is tiny. It’s instantaneous, split seconds. This time, Prescott doesn’t fire the ball so much as he lobs it. Again, Lamb is tracked by two defenders. Again, the throw is perfect, ball placed where only Lamb can snag it. He leaps. He snags. Touchdown.

Or perhaps this one: same game, fourth quarter, down eight points. As Prescott drops back and fakes a handoff, a defensive end is already closing in to his right. The defender wraps Prescott’s body with both arms. This time, he’s wiggling—well, not wiggling so much as escaping by force. He scrambles right, before the broadcast team can correct the sack they just credited to Seattle. But he doesn’t just throw the ball right away, or tuck that thing and run. He waits, moves, waits, moves … and throws to Jalen Tolbert, who sets up near the right sideline.

Well, Patrick Mahomes is his average. And the media has no one else to praise Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady done

You’re are Dak obsessed with hate no matter what you term yourself.

 

[Hadenough]

That's cute.

Now do it deep in the playoffs, and we'll all be on board.

Bingo! That's really all that counts.

I don't keep with a lot of teams, but when did he come into the league? That is a lot of turnovers!

Flip that coin, bro! Your obsessive love for Dak has no boundaries.

That's all anyone can do. It's to premature to say what Dak and the team can or will do until the season is over.

 

[HMJYay]

lol. He gets credit anytime he plays good. And doesn’t get credit when he doesn’t. Just as it should be. This 5 game stretch will be the story of the season. In the last 6 games 4 have been against arguably the worst teams in the league. It doesn’t take a great QB to do that. They lost the other, with him making large gaffes contributing to it. The other a very average team (with a crappy defense) barely got past. You can only play who’s on your schedule, but 20 of the starting QBs in the league would have done the same.

Dak obsessed, that’s you to a T me I like the guy except for trait of coming up short but call them like I see them, you worship the guy even when he craps the bed.

No not really.

Dude he never gets credit from the haters because most of them have disappeared lol.

The story makes no sense. Dak has gotten more than he deserves. He’s lead the team to 2 playoff wins in the past 7 season. Both were on wildcard weekend. So, what kind of recognition does he deserve but not received ? He’s getting more love this season bc he’s destroying the worst teams in the NFL?

Dak has an opportunity in front of him to rewrite the script of his career and lose the “always coming up short “ label. However, that hasn’t happened yet and he still doesn’t have a signature win over a good team this year. It’s the opposite. He’s lost to both SF and Philly.

 

[5Stars]

No not really.

Yes, really. I cannot ever remember any time that you have made any criticism when Dak screws up, never, never.

Some posters like myself can point out things we don't like about the way Dak plays at times and we are subjected to all kinds of insults, trolls, eagle fans, low IQ cowards, go find another team because you are not a Cowboy fan, and the list just goes on and on. And my favorite, "well so and so screwed up so how come they get a pass, but Dak don't." Are you kidding me!

On the other hand, you and others will be ready to shine Dak's shoes even when you know he screwed the pooch during games.

Dak is the QB of my favorite team, and if he mucks it up, I'm not going to sugar coat it and say, ah, it was just all the other players, not Dak.

If I invited you to my house to play Chess, you would show up with a Checkers Board but not the right pieces to play your game.

They want religious devotional faith. Can't get into heaven unless you believe.

I was skeptical that we could go into Candlestick in '92 and win. Whaddya know...I'm still a fan and I still enjoyed the Super Bowl...

Deserved screw all the fans hating on Dak
