The Bus Driver's Last 5 games

[CowboyRoy]

My buddy, one of the biggest Dak homers i know, was ready to bench him by half time. It wasn't just "trolls" and "haters" that were watching that fiasco.

I commented at the end of the half that it could have been one of the worst halfs I have EVER seen by a QB. Said on here. My belief was definitely fading. Then the 2nd half happened.

So are you saying those other players are All Pros?

I could make a good case for them being all pros. I have never seen a turn around like what is happening with Byron Jones, from JAG to elite DB that is as amazing as Adrian Peterson coming back from knee reconstruction ACL MCL and playing in September 2012 that season he ran for over 2k yards less than ten months after the injury occurred.

All I heard about coming into this season(by mostly the same people upset by recent Dak success) was about Dak’s past 8 game of last year. Over and over..ignoring his other 17 games.

Now this 5 game stretch is cherry picking. After 8 will you accept it? Nope. Hypocrites

I even saw the stat where he compared to some of the best in the 4th quarter ignored and it wasn’t a small sample size.

Denial is a real psychological condition. I’m not being funny. Some of you really can’t see/won’t accept what’s happening no matter how many facts are put in front of you.

Enjoy the holidays as much as you enjoy football!

Bus driver don't throw the ball 54 times.

And your Dak hate knows no bounds...

He did gift the Eagles their first 9 points.

Dak isn't a "Bus Driver", IMO. Bill Belichick has a great system with a bus driver at QB. Dak is a blood and guts QB that can beat you many different ways outside of the Linehan system. He is a good runner with the ball so his keeper option is dangerous. Yes, it helps to have a weapon like Zeke at RB. As Dak showed us in their last game, Dak can flip a switch and be a dangerous passing QB. If Linehan was a better coach with a better system perhaps Dak could be a "Bus Driver" for that system but presently Dak is using his mental toughness and clutch gene to win games. That 75 yard pass play to Coop was not called by Linehan, it was a result of Coop wanting a go route and Dak trusting him.

have all your stats you want.... If you watched last game and you're not stupid you realize we should have won 35-23 at the end of regulation.

It wasn't Daks fault, OL bad , he had to rush his throws, sun in his eyes, Bad calls by OC, here comes "your Dak hate knows no bounds", some on this board resort to names, labels, insults when your view isn't that Dak is elite, better than every QB ever to play, his mistakes do not matter, the bad games are not his fault, he's only in year 3, and always somehow Romo comes in the discussion and how Dak is 10 times the QB Romo was. I like Dak just do not believe he is a franchise QB but now it's look at his last 5 games, "HE won them" on the losses it was everyone else's fault. I agree with many that Dak has upside and at this piont is a bus driver, at some point it will cost the team due to his problems.

Dak is a elite superstar QB and Brady is a bus driver, I have heard it all now.

5 wins

136 of 181 for 75% completion percentage at 8.1 ypc for 1471 yards at 294.2 yards per game average.

7 Passing Tds and 2 ints.

3 rushing Tds.

106.8 rating.

3 Game Winning Drives.

Sacked 20 times.



Bring your Average, Bus Driver and Tebow comments....and look silly.

Dak has improved, but he's still making stupid plays. If Dallas would've lost vs PHI the loss would've been his fault 100%. His turnovers lead to 9pts for the Eagles. Missed throw to Gallup costed Dallas another 7pts. IM talking about the first missed deep pass. The 2nd was Gallups fault. So basically Dak was responsible for 16pts difference.

DAL 30 PHI 14 with no overtime

Now, the good about Dak is the guy never quits. He knows how to win, and he wins when the game is on the line. I dont think ive seen him lose a game with a game ending INT when they needed a scoring drive in his career. If im wrong somebody correct me but i dont remember seeing one.

The bad, is i think he thinks too much on the field. He needs to trust his gut and let the ball go. Stop trying to be too accurate because its making the throw worse. He has WRs in Cooper and Gallup that will go after the ball, rather than guys like Beasley and Hurns who need the ball to be on the money or its not gonna be completed.

I think his game is goinna keep getting better because the TEs are now starting to get involved in the gameplan. This past week Dallas had 10rec for 92 yrds from TE's. Think people forget how important the TE to this system. Think that more than the WR play was a bigger problem for this team early. Swaim did ok, but he not as Athletic as Jarwin and doesnt have the route running of Schultz. And even them are avg at best. Dallas needs to bring in a TE like Jesse James or trade for Brate in the offseason.

Then the use of Elliot in the passing attack has helped alot.

Daks coming along but its frustrating at times. Same thing happened with Romo. Early in his career he was wreckless with the ball.

You tell me who has more wins than Dak since he has been in the league? The answer is, only Tom Brady. Winning is ultimately all that matters, so that make Dak elite. Being a "bus driver" is not a derogatory thing, it just describes a QB's style of play. Brady is consistently successful because he operates within Belichick's system, which makes Brady the bus driver of that system.

Prescott's 30 wins in 3 seasons and still going is no opinion. Thank you. You have a nice holiday season too.

Dak has a very good win %. We will find out in jan if that translates into play off success, hope it does but i think people are right to have reservations.

I absolutely love Dak Prescott! He is a guy with all the abilities needed to win games. Take Cooper for example- Bringing him in has really lifted Dak's play which shows that he can excel with talent around him. I would imagine that when the tight ends really start helping more and the offensive line improves they guy will even be that much better. The character of Dak is through the roof and his will to learn and get better is very commendable. Look at Andrew Luck, he came into the league as the golden child than became and issue now he is great again. It takes a team and the right circumstances to get things done in this league. I think we all can agree that Garret's playbook is a huge a issue and the guy calling the plays just isn't very good. This really hurts Dak's development in my opinion.

It's been discussed that Romo was good in-spite of Garret's playbook because he audibled just about every play so that we would be in an advantageous situation. With the addition of Cooper it looks like Dak is starting to get more comfortable changing plays and redirecting things. I say that Dak is as good a leader as you'll find, all the other intangibles discussed are things that can be worked out. I watched the Eagles game again yesterday and while some of you say he didn't have a good first half, I watched him make great throws and direct the team like a true pro. The results might of not come in the red zone, but the guy has the tools.

I'm honestly proud to call him our QB at this point, he is a great kid and a winner. I can't wait to see how he does as the team builds to the future. I know Jerry gets lots of crap and most of it he has deserved but it looks like things may finally be looking up around here in many ways. The cowboys have been built slowly with meager results, but the foundation has some serious strength because of the patience of sticking with Garret and his vision. If you watch our team at this point, it's obvious that if they play their game, they most likely will wax anyone and everyone. We just need them to play that game when it matters.
