Star Of The Game: Dak Steals The Show

[waving monkey]

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – A new feature on DallasCowboys.com this preseason is to hand out some Cowboys-themed “gold stars” after each padded practice and game.

Who stood out most in Thursday’s preseason opener against the 49ers? The DallasCowboys.com staff makes their picks. (Note: A “Star of the Game” pick counts double toward the preseason tally below.)

Nick Eatman: I’m sure others will find some bubble players to praise, but I’ll stick to my recent trend of taking the easy picks. Dak Prescott was really good in this game and had a perfect QB rating to prove it. Yeah, it was a quick outing, but in the first preseason game, that’s all you need. I liked how he managed the game and checked down when he needed, ran the ball when he needed and went deep when it was needed.

Has to be fake news

I was definitely holding my breath on that 3rd down scramble.

Don't expect the Romo fans to be happy about this.

So this will be the standard all season I guess. A good game or bad game and everyone will be out here telling everyone else how wrong they were and how right they were rather than just taking the season as a whole. It is going to be a long year on this board!

Nah, he got lucky on a poorly thrown ball.

Yeah, because that is what it is about

 

[Rockport]

Dak was the same Dak all the haters have been hating on. I’m sure they’ll be *****ing about something he did or didn’t do. Count on it.

Pretty ball and nice look off to keep the safety away.

The run on 3rd down was Dak’s Best play of the night. He needs to utilize his legs more often and be a playmaker beyond just when it’s designed.

Adding a consistent threat will make coverage easier because it prevents a LB from flooding the zone.

It is going to be a long year on this board!

And you’re surprised?

Always has been that way and it always will. By the way, that’s on every fan forum.

The new fairytale is


Dak didn’t put enough air under that throw. That despite his noodle arm he put TOO MUCH zip on a ball thrown over 30 yards in the air.

He looked off the safety and then put it right on Gallup for 6. What more did you want him to do?

Dak is still getting better. It's easy to see he is becoming a driving force for this team. By the end of this year he may look like a pro bowler. He is definitely faster than last year as he has trimmed down and has more muscle. It's great to see he has put in some work

 

[hornitosmonster]

Dak shoved all that fake news up the ... of the media and haters. Love that his response to the hate was on the field production and in this case perfection.

Sure it is - just wish people would grow up!

I agree. I am sarcastically repeating what others have said.

People create a post for a 2-3 39 yard outing. Nice pass to the rookie. Everyone's healthy.
