Man thats a tough take you got there on Micaiah Parsons.
Poor guy can't be considered good until the playoffs.....

When did I say Dak was not good? OP just wants more appreciation. I countered that SB win playing great ball will likely convert pretty much everyone. I have said he has been up and down with his play. Lol, overreact much?

ROFL, my dude you came to this thread willingly knowing full well the stats Dak has put up since week 7 and knowing you'd look goofy posting anything negative so attack the OP personally??
Who exactly is the one crying, Ivan???

Dak is killing it of late, Dallas is a top 5 NFL team and crow is only the only dish being served.
Chow down little fella.

Plenty of threads crying for more appreciation of Dak of late. I have no issues saying he has been playing very well in stretches. Cry it out with your bros my man.

As a big Dak fan, I just want him to take the Cowboys deep into the playoffs so that this final criticism can be laid to rest.

Dak Prescott, Super Bowl LVII MVP. I just love the sound of that.
He would still be criticized or at least it would be downplayed. Somehow it would be the team around him, or Pollard, or the freaking air quality. Anything but give the man his due.

Honest/curious question from someone that has praised and criticized the guy. What would you say is his due? What are you guys wanting everyone to say about him?

I don't really care to be quite honest. I just wish the QB of this team was given the same latitude the QBs of other teams are. It literally feels like y'all want to go back into QB purgatory just because you don't like Dak. Its nuts.

His due. IMO. If he gets this team to an NFCCG or further. Should be given at that point. And I would bet money. It wont be. Because its going to be EVERYONE else that got them there except him. Watch and wait.

I dont know what the man is due but i do know he isnt due. I have not seen any QB that has every single snap critiqued the way he does. "Oh that pass was high" "that one was low" . "That one should have been 6 inches to the left" ."He held the ball too long". "He shouldnt have changed the play". "so and so was open". " he should have ran" "He cant throw the long ball" "he cant throw the back shoulder" Im sure there is many more thats just off the top of my head. The game threads are insane

38.8 PPG (1st in NFL)
416.2 Total YPG (2nd in NFL)
57.1 3rd down % (1st in NFL)
84.2 Red Zone % (2nd in NFL)

Just dropping by to check the temp on the board and see if Dak has received more appreciation or if he's still just an average QB who we overpaid.

If he starts to play like an good QB he will get my appreciation. But i seriously doubt it. He had 6 years to do that and he couldnt.

Because he didnt lay an egg in a game doesnt mean he all of the sudden erased everything he has shown in the past.

Oh well, he did lay an egg. Two as a matter of fact.

Sure, because this is the most popular franchise in all of sports. He plays the most important position in the game. He gets paid the most. Fans allow their emotions to run amuck. Way too high or way too low. There were people wanting to can Aikman after a couple seasons because he could not instantly turn the worst squad in the league into the best.

You mad Bro the Cowboys winning? Can’t you just enjoy it instead of crapping on the QB and anyone who thinks he’s playing well?

arent all QBs that are not on their 1st contract the highest paid person on team? and its a team game Cowboy fans are over emotional and entitled. We had alot of sucees prior to slary cap and havent since and they need a whipping boy.

The QB position also brings out the low/no character fans.

You are wanting the impossible. Many fans of this team are incapable of being diplomatic because of their emotional ties to the team and the high standards they set. People will likely give credit based on performance.

Lots of sacks, turnovers, and few points against will mean the defense gets plenty of credit. On offense, lots of rushing yards and attempts will mean plenty of credit for the running backs and offensive line. Few yards and attempts will mean less credit (be it the QB out running backs). Turnovers and especially unforced turnovers will be vilified.

Won't happen in most cases. People are too dug in. Some will mildly, and I mean mildly concede IF and only IF, he wins it all.

I never said they are fair and balanced. Lots of fans here just goading the fans that are on the opposite spectrum. I’m pretty settled in. I’ve never felt more optimistic about potential playoff success. The NFC has never been this absent of high end teams since our last championship. If they cannot get it done this season, they likely cannot ever with this core group.

while i will root hard every year I agree this year the NFC is wide open and this looks to be our best shot. I only hope that San fran gets beat or we dont play them until NFCCG its a tough match up
