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

[Seattle49er]

Of course not. Purdy is young and cheap. But he's not that good. He needs the same help around him. Some of those passes he threw in that game against the Giants screamed amateur. The Giants let him off the hook because they suck. He's a decent QB and is probably going to get better, but no team in the NFL fears Brock Purdy. They fear the rest of the team.

Textbook case of denial. Did AZ "let him off the hook"? You know the team that beat Dallas.

But you can still do individual stats. How else do you compare, appraise, value?

And I disagree with you about only TEAMS win games. Yes...there are a lot of sequential random events to happen for the end result outcome.

But you know...there are times when ONE player does make that play to win the game. Sometimes it's right at the end...sometimes not.

Might not agree about who he or he's that is....But we shouldn't be lazy about it either.

"TEAM GAME BLAH BLAH BLAH"

"HOW CAN YA TELL BLAH BLAH BLAH!"

I say there are moments were an individual...maybe in combination with another...sure....WINS games.

Totally disagree. Individual make certain plays . But they can’t make those plays unless something else allows it to happen. It’s a team. Individual statistics for the end of a persons career. Team statistics is what matters. Yes you have individual matchups. different receivers can catch the ball during the game. It all adds up to the team. Again make no mistake about it.

As usual, the same non- Cowboys fans predicting another loss. So far, they are 1-3.

 

[MyFairLady]

Purdy has a career QB rating over 110. He has a lot of help but he has also been pretty good.

Agree and he always looks poised and calm when things break down. Our guy, not so much!

 

[nightrain]

Dak will have enough to concentrate on with Bosa & Co. Purdy won't be on the field with him.

Arizona is playing with high intensity. This kind of stuff happens every year, even to much better QBs. It happened to the 90s Cowboys, more recently the Bills lost to a 3 win Jags team 9-6. This is not limited to Dak.

 

[Flamma]

We saw what happened without Purdy last year.

We saw what happened without Dak last year.

There is a difference between them and it's not just young and cheap.

I fully expected us to lose to the 49ers in the last 2 playoff matchups. It had nothing to do with Purdy or Garoppolo. I thought that because the 49ers were better. And Garoppolo did what he could to let us back in the game. Granted, Dak crapped the bed last year. No getting around that.

The problem is one guy can ruin it when everyone else did THEIR job. As Rocky pointed out to me. That wasn't a "team loss".

Conversely, and I know this is an easy obvious example...but it's ...obvious...a guy like 'homes can take a blown play by the offensive line and win the game.

It is GENERALY a team game and a series of events. But if you think one player absolutely can not make or break a game...you are wrong. Make no mistake about it.

Yeah let's keep it in context the perspective you know the reality of that game we were on the road just had a horrible Thursday practice losing Trayvon diggs we're missing 3 Pro Bowl offensive lineman and just weren't very well prepared for that game missing those people they got lucky as well as all those flags thrown on the field 50% of them are questionable and the one they picked up against Gallup made me know it was in the cards the league had an opportunity to have the game in the way they want I'm not calling conspiracy but I could tell you this after they picked up that flag on Gallup that was blatant pass interference that would have put the ball at the one at the end of that game would have changed the way we called plays they affected the game big time it happens to a lot of teams in the league and this time it happened to us.. I'd like to see your team lose 3 Pro Bowl offensive lineman in the same game and a Pro Bowl corner in the same game and still play well on the road... That's the perspective people keep losing here yeah we lost to a team we should have won that's the NFL when you come in that wounded to their house and they devise a game plan and with the help of the rest this stuff happens..
You know like trying to explain how the Buffalo Bills lose to The Jets and how Patrick mahomes and the chiefs nearly lost to The Jets and they should have oh wait the refs got it again... And then you look at they say we only beat bad teams like they call New England bad right but it took two late drives and some luck for the Philadelphia Eagles to beat the New England Patriots and yet we boot stopped them and now they're a bad team but they weren't a bad team back then all these other teams who are playing them I guess they were great only in those games but now because the Cowboys boots stopped them they were all bad teams we haven't beat anybody that's what people are saying..

And by the way,

I don't know this little debate you're having with the person above but I can tell you this he's right rock Purdy is a solid quarterback right now he's Alex Smith he's not Joe Montana and I've said it over and over and I'm also really tired of people thinking this game is quarterback versus quarterback when it's defense versus offense that's it this is a team game Prescott and Purdy do not play each other they're not judged the same because you have to play each other 's coaches and each others defenses that's how it really works anybody who keeps judging games win or lose and they're saying well this quarterback beat that quarterback and this quarterback record against that quarterback it's the dumbest thing I've ever heard in sports...

Last I check quarterbacks are on offense they don't play each other at all they have to face each others defenses and the game plans that the coaches come up with and right now that size with the 49ers the Cowboys are making all the mistakes and we're only losing by a score so don't get too big headed it could slant the other way easily any day...

How about go back over to the San Francisco 49ers forum you know wherever your people are and come in here and trolling our website I mean it's kinda ironic that the Cowboys live rent free and other fans had so much that they have to come in & up and be part of somebody else's forum which by the way I've never done ever ever I have no inclination whatsoever to go on somebody else's site and have debates rent free that's where we live in people's heads the Dallas Cowboys no matter how little success they've had in late playoff runs still own prime time we still own media ratings always gonna be another fans heads... nice troll job bro

[Hawkeye19]

Huge moment for Dak. The media, the 49ers, and a large % of the Dallas fan base will be expecting another choke job from him in a big moment, on the road, against a very good D.

These are the spots he has struggled in the past.

Purdy on the other hand, has been pretty much flawless since arriving on the scene. Cinderella story. Rags to riches. Smart, calm, and plays within a well-designed offensive scheme suited to his strengths.

Can Dak flip the script? The experts picked SF 9-1 over Dallas. Prescott has a lot on the line on Sunday— Purdy is just relaxing and enjoying the ride.

Pressure is on 4 to play well and lead his team to a W on the road— or at least a well-played, hard fought nailbiter L.

Anything less and the pressure and criticism gets even worse for Dak.

 

[blueblood70]

Wow

LOL IM punchy ie salty right now..LOL get these trolls out of here

Sure. We MOSTLY agree on this matter so we'll leave the minutia behind. GO COWBOYS! HERE WE GO!

 

[conner01]

At his size I Just don't know how he will have much success running inside.

He’s not gonna run over people but the threat is impirtant. Running is more about blocking than running over people. During zeke’s best season he avg 2.9 yards before contact. That’s the key to running the ball. He never avg more yards after contact than before contact. It’s not like you run Duece up the middle 10 times a game but that threat has to be there

I'm not sure OP meant head to head mano mano.

I think he meant whichever QB can exert his will on these good defenses probably wins the game. Yes..it WILL be a team game...and we WILL have to have a good run game.

We might need a few miracle plays by Dak to do it. One guy CAN make all the difference in the world.

Yep...any RB needs that hole, that crease. Very hard to get steam going when the tackler is on you at the handoff.

Do you have that stat on Emmitt?

 

[rnr_honeybadger]

That generally is when he plays the worse. McCarthy better have some tricks up his sleeve to take the game out of Dak's hands because if it comes down to needing Dak to pass us to victory it isn't going to happen.
