The Question on First Take today was. "Is Dak an already an All Time Great Cowboys QB?

[Cowboys5217]

I go by accomplishments:

Aikman
Staubach
Morton
Meredith
White

Nobody else deserves it until they can at least get to a conference title game.

 

[morat1959]

All you can do is shake your head and laugh. Dak is hard pressed to be in the top 5 in Cowboys history.

 

[gtb1943]

There are only two all time great QBs for the Boys
Staubach and Aikman
Meredith and all the others just do not qualify

 

[Pass2Run]

Dak is on the level of Romo. If he continues improving like he has the past few games, he could surpass Romo in my mind. And I'm saying this as a big ole Romo homer.

 

[acr731]

I can't stand threads like this. They pop up every time Dak is able to beat the snot out of a crappy bottom feeding team like the Gnats

 

[Jipper]

yeah i agree, certainly same level as Romo but he does have a shot to get past Romo this year....if he gets past the divisional round he will vault up the list and start to be near the top of that second tier of great (behind Staubach and aikmen)

Dak is Romo 2.0 in my opinion. Both have the ability to crush bad teams, both could put up flashy stats, but neither one found a way to beat really good teams and constantly failed in the playoffs.

 

[Scotman]

Aikman & Staubach. 1a and 1b. I could put them in either order and make a convincing argument for it.

All the others have been close. But to be mentioned among the greatest in Dallas, you have to win the Superbowl.

We've had other really good QB's. Morton, Meredith and Romo among them. My dad always said that White was just good enough to keep us from being able to draft high enough to make a difference. Looking back, he was at least partially correct. Dak's story is over half over and he hasn't changed the narrative. I hope that he does, but the sand is running out of the hour glass.

This show needs to be cancelled for asking something so damm stupid

I haven't watched pregame shows or football talk shows in years,v and this nonsense is why.

They make up things to discuss.

"Is Dak an already an All Time Great Cowboys QB?"​

The answer isn't just no.

It's HELL NO.

Jebus is non-sense like this what they talk about on those daily sports shows now?

 

[8FOR!3]

Dak is on the level of Romo. If he continues improving like he has the past few games, he could surpass Romo in my mind. And I'm saying this as a big ole Romo homer.

He isn't ALWAYS on that level but right now I'd definitely say he is playing at that level imo. Which is saying a lot. Romo was elite. Right now Dak's playing like an elite QB. And I'm not going to bother arguing with people who want to use playoff wins as the most important stat to evaluate QB's.

 

[blueblood70]

Stauback/Aikman
Don Meredith
Craig Morton
Danny White
Tony Romo
Dak Prescott

Nope
roger/Troy/romo/dak/white

you know it's really easy to make a case for Dak/Romo to be as succesful as Roger and troy given how great those teams and coaches were.
who cares about the rest the answer is yes has already elevated into top 5 since 1960 makes him an all time Cowboys qb.

 

[blueblood70]

The answer isn't just no.

It's HELL NO.

Jebus is non-sense like that what they talk about on those daily sports shows now?

first of all no one said the best just to be mentioned as all time,

I'm sorry but he belongs in the conversation he's top five that makes him all-time... you all still don't know how to separate the teams that troy and roger were on vs romo and dak.. they had the clear advantage in talent and coaching...

 

[OmerV]

"All Time Great" among Cowboy QBs is a hard label to give out, and shouldn't be given lightly.

In my mind, only Staubach, Aikman and Meredith are clear and unquestionable for that designation

Romo, White & Dak all can be argued, but all can be argued against as well.

 

[Jake]

All time greats: Staubach and Aikman

Good/Very Good: White, Romo, Dak

The Cowboys reached SB V in spite of Morton, so he doesn't make my list. His offense scored 33 points - total - in those three playoff games. The Colts had 7 turnovers and all he could muster was 13 points in the SB loss. I'm getting mad again just typing about him.

 

[BoysForLife]

The answer isn't just no.

It's HELL NO.

Jebus is non-sense like this what they talk about on those daily sports shows now?

Yeah. The cowboys beat up on a horrible team playing a QB that probably wouldn't start for half of the FBS teams right now and it's a monumental accomplishment somehow

The recency bias in today's sports media is ridiculous

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

This show needs to be cancelled for asking something so damm stupid

he is below Staubach, Aikman. both of whom won superbowls. once Dak wins a superbowl, then he is in the conversation.

 

[jsb357]

Dak is Romo 2.0 in my opinion. Both have the ability to crush bad teams, both could put up flashy stats, but neither one found a way to beat really good teams and constantly failed in the playoffs.

^^^^^^^^ THIS

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Roger
Troy
Meredith
White
Romo

For the remaining names just place them under the term.........."Just didn't have the talent for the job"

 

[nate dizzle]

Danny white took the team to 3 straight nfc title games. So he accomplished more than Dak and Romo combined. Ironic that what was looked upon as a failure back in the Landry era would seem like a monumental accomplishment in the Jones “socks to jocks” era.

Now we celebrate stats and just making it to the playoffs.
