The goat, where does Prescott really rank

[TwoCentPlain]

He just signed a $160 mil contract because he earned it. You still pumping gas and jealous?

Last I heard, only people pumping gas for a living are in NJ and Oregon. Everywhere else it’s pump your own gas.

 

[USArmyVet]

It depends. On this team i'd rather have Dak. If I had the Buccanners team...i'd probably take Brady if he was 15 million cheaper.

Tom Brady, his teams have won against ,Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers. In the playoffs. Not to mention Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, and others obviously . Are you the best simply because you beat the best. Or you have the best numbers, statistics. I can’t wait for the season opener. Prescott has gone into Pittsburgh and beat Rothlisberger in his own house. We beat Aaron Rodgers in his own house. And we went down to New Orleans and beat them also . It’s time to beat Tom Brady, and Patrick Mahomes , this season. Yeah I know it’s about playoffs and championships. But that’s more about team and coaching. No this is not another Prescott thread. This is what gives you the right to be called the best.

I think there are a number of things that go into declaring someone the goat. Championships is one but also overall winning and accuracy percentages is another. There's also things like how many and how often he pulls games out in the 4th quarter after being behind. Then there are things that has nothing to do with the game but how the player is thought of by his team mates and how he handles himself with the media. Rodgers has the personal numbers to be considered as the goat but he is real out going with the media so the media don't pump him up as the goat. His antics this season is turning the media against him. In any case there is no sure fire formula for determining the goat.

Oh so he’s 12 million cheaper? Yeah I’d rather have Dak then never mind lol.

 

[Fastpitch Dad]

He was hopeless in December...he was damn good in September...probably the best i've ever seen.

I'll have to find the stats, but that's a false narrative if we are going by ratings/stat. His December numbers were incredible.

So many fans believed this for no reason. I got sick of hearing how bad he stunk in December games and always brought this up. But never mind, people will still dislike.

Much like I don't put the losses on Dak's back, I didn't put them on Tony either. Both guys have been vilified and neither deserved it. In my humble opinion.

 

[JBond]

I actually think it’s Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes, Dak Prescott

Pat is number 2 behind Brady. Agree with the rest.

 

[Whirlwin]

Then why get upset anytime someone criticizes him and start using GOATs like Tom Brady as the comparison? Use someone like Kirk Cousins or Derek Carr. Those are the guys that Dak is level with right now until he proves otherwise.

So his statistics me nothing.

 

[Whirlwin]

Spot on

Ridiculous

 

[Whirlwin]

If this isn't about Prescott, the headline is misleading.

No.It’s about what truly gives you the right to be called the best

 

[Whirlwin]

You are 100% correct.

Another thing, Dak has never made the playoffs without his RB winning the rushing title. Has Brady ever had a RB win a rushing title?

Only one running back has ever won a championship win winning the rushing title. I don’t know why you keep saying this it means nothing.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

So his statistics me nothing.

His statistics are literally on par with Cousins and Carr.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Only one running back has ever won a championship win winning the rushing title. I don’t know why you keep saying this it means nothing.

It means everything until Dak can lead the team to the playoffs without his RB leading the world in rushing yards.

Do you know what balance means. You don’t win without it. Rushing title means nothing .Show me the touchdowns. I train with a two times Super Bowl running back. And he’ll tell you the exact same thing I just said. Who the hell cares about numbers. It’s about touchdowns. It’s about balance.And the fact is Prescott has already won games without Elliot.

Prove it.

 

[Whirlwin]

Prove it.

Emmett Smith. The only running back to win a championship after winning the rushing title. How many Super Bowls have there been.

I don’t have to. My cowboy brothers that know me from the old Cowboys forum . People with integrity. People who just troll. I don’t care enough about ignorance. To go out of my way

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

I don’t have to.

That's what I thought

That's what I thought

What are you 12 years old. Seriously prove you’re not. Because that’s what your intelligence level about football brings me to
