CFZ This Game is Prescott vs Purdy and don't forget that!

[JonesBoys]

I think we get a late garbage time TD.

So you are expecting the 49ers to blowout Dallas?

 

[gimmesix]

It’s team versus team.

Appreciate the enthusiasm but it’s not just about the QBs.

Part of the problem with how fans view QBs.

I told him not to do it because if we lose its just going to make things that much worse. If they lose by 10 that is. My son bleeds silver and blue and takes losses to heart. That playoff loss liked to drove him crazy....

Good thing he wasn’t around in 1981

Dak has to just steer the bus. No turnovers, control the ball, keep the offense on the field. No hero crap. This team is now good enough to win against teams like SF with Dak under center. Big Mike has proven that he can design a game around Daks capabilities. Just don't make stupid mistakes and get the ball away quickly. Oh, and Dak: if some guy dressed in red and gold gets past your o line it's ok to just throw away the ball. And they will get through every now and then.

 

[McKDaddy]

Logic says it will be a lower scoring, tight game. I have a nagging feeling that one or both offenses are going to make some plays. Not that the D's play bad, but that maybe a couple plays just get made.

I'm thinking something like 27-24 or 27-17. I could see it going either way .... but if I had to guess I'd lean toward the Niners.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Except, the teams play a huge factor in who "plays" better at QB.
It has never been, and never will be about one player or position.

It's pretty absurd to think so. Why bother having the other 21 positions, if it all comes down to one?

Why bother paying one position significantly more than every other position then?

Because 99% of the time you're only as good as you're QB.

Why bother paying the QB if his play doesn't have the biggest impact on the game?

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

So you are expecting the 49ers to blowout Dallas?

I predict the 49ers win by at least 2 scores.

 

[75boyz]

Jerry said last year where the distinct advantage was and why he felt so confident in winning the game was at the most important position on the field.
That confidence should have been removed after that choke job.

I'll beat my dead horse again and say that the key to team success for this entire year is on the playcaller and QB performing their jobs at optimum levels.

Quinn's group is gonna do its job.
So is Fassel's.
It's time for the SB winning playcaller and his QB stand up and carry their share.

Qbs have the biggest impact (generally), individually speaking, but are FAR from the only impact. And FAR from having a bigger impact than the rest of the players combined.
QBs are generally overpaid relative to other positions as well. Big QB contracts usually don't work great.
And no, 99% of the time you are not only as good as your QB.Surround the best QB ever with a crap team, and I'll show you a team that isn't going anywhere.

If Dak comes out and plays really well, like one of his best games, I think we come out of there with a WIN. I think Purdy is going to play well because most of his passes are short to the backs and receivers. We need to tackle well and Vander Esch is really going to be tested of course but I still think it comes down to how well the QB's play. It would be sweet to get to Purdy and force a pick or two which would cause the Niners to play from behind. They said Dak's rating is top of the league when he has the lead and bottom of the barrel when playing from behind. Anyway I just wanted to share my thoughts but I want to mention one more thing. How can we expect Dak to play really well without Tyron Smith and possibly Zach Martin? This is the part that makes me worried and sick.

I've been a fan for 47 years and really can't stand the Niners since the 90's. I was there in Dallas in the 90's when both teams met in the endzone before the game and started pushing each other around. My 27 year old son is more die hard than I am and has this guy he works with is wanting to bet him $500 and give him 10 points! I told him not to do it because I don't trust Dak and Martin and Smith are banged up and thats not counting Micah and Dowdle. Sorry for the long post but I'm praying for a win but my gut says otherwise.

No offense but you are an idiot if you reject Dallas +10

SF didn’t beat us by 10+ in either of the two previous games and didn’t come anywhere close to covering that number in either game.

Exactly. That’s why Ive been saying Dak HAS a to be the better quarterback by a mile on Sunday.

Perhaps with there not being that playoff pressure on him he may rise to the occasion…..or not

you may not be saying that Monday...

 

[JBS]

you may not be saying that Monday...

regardless of what happens Sunday, You don’t turn down +10.. you don’t bet based on the result.. you bet based on the information we have right now.. you don’t turn away 10 points. No way.

 

[CowboyRoy]

I expected this from you...LOL

Some people never learn no matter how many times I explain it.

Supply and demand. That's why they get paid what they do. A quarterback is like the driver of a racecar. You could have the best driver in the world, but you're not beating anyone without the horsepower.

We both know how Sunday ends.

Regardless, the fact that people here want to downplay the importance of the QB position and the impact it has on the game says a lot.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

The QB is supposed to be the engine that keeps things going when other things fail and don't run perfectly. That's why they're the top picks, that's why teams tank for them, that's why they are by far the most paid, and that's why your entire franchise can turn around by getting a good one.

We do not have that. We only have the highly paid part of that.

You don't have to look any further than the Arizona game to see how our engine reacts when things don't go perfectly and that's just the most recent example.

You think Purdy is better? He's no great QB. He's good at best. A really good example of a team carrying a QB.

 

[CCBoy]

The 49-ers are going to do what they did the last two times. Stop the run and force Dak to make the throws. They will unleash their pass rush and hope that they can rattle Prescott enough to make a mistake. Also without the defense scoring for Dallas it's going to be a very low scoring affair but the 49-ers have a better offense - from RB to TE. Then toss Deebo onto that pile with Shannahan calling the plays.

Think that...sleep through. Me, came up when the Cowboys didn't know what a win was...and like now, carried the faith.

Damn the torpedos full speed ahead!

Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.

Just do it!
