Time table for Dak to win major games?

[75boyz]

Look at their OC and I remember saying to myself that no way this 12 year old looking dude is going to carve out a role in this league.

Young kid Mike McDaniel is what Jerry wanted from Garrett and most recent Moore, but nada, nothing, zilch.

A good coach has to evaluate the talent available, on hand, what we have to work with and find ways to exploit weaknesses with that talent.

Use the talent available, their best attributes and build a scheme that works, even in a more conservative nature.

This league has become a pass first league, but this game is still called football, and the NFL is nothing more than trends that constantly become repeated, it's just what's trending made being effective is the most popular copy.

I anticipate and look forward to a more TOP, ball control heavy OL/TE/RB grind game, and I'm not being sarcastic here, this team needs that identity on offense in 2023.

Hawkeye19 posted something similar a week or so ago and I was all for it as well. But it comes with a strong dose of reality.
Which is while I agree this is a great post on the surface which I fully support, there is absolutely nothing in this head coach's coaching history that suggests the type of offense you describe here. He is publicly putting it out there as well but seeing is believing.
The strong emphasis on an offseason WR2 upgrade with the acquisition of Cooks does not seem to set right with me as a much less pass happy offense as well.
But again, he's saying all the right things and whatever makes it a less high volume pass offense on this QB, the better.
Moore was scapegoated imo and I think McCarthy will discover this QB does not grasp the live to play another down concept because he does not process the whole field and is slow with reads in general.

It boils down to Dak's real time decision making once again and unfortunately this will be the 4th coach to be sacrificed because of it.

It's Fish........take it with a grain of salt (lol)

More like a Pacific Ocean amount of salt.

Qbs don’t win or lose games….teams do.

true but qb play can help win a game or lose it.

Of course it can.

 

[Section446]

Time has past, it's obvious he isn't the guy.

 

[fairviewfarmer]

You're the general manager of this team, Dak has been here for several seasons. Knowing this and all the resources you've given him, what's the time frame that he has to go deep into the playoffs or win a championship??

Do you feel that the cowboys have a time frame on Dak being that he's been here this long. Please keep this appropriate!!!! Give your thoughts please....

One more year.

 

[GMO415]

Dak has hit his peak and he's no longer a QB that can play at a SB level.

 

[Adreme]

So can CB play and G play and LT play. Wins are a team stat not a QB stat for that reason. The people who make them into a QB stat are those who can’t dissect football very well so they wanna make it easy.

Nope, its not up to Dak to do anything but lead the offense. This is the typical mistake of casual football fans.

But really, what hasnt the TEAM been able to do the last two years? Beat SF. Which is a better team. So not a big deal really. And the offense does poorly against the #1 defense in the NFL with Zeke as the feature. Again, not a big deal.

An undisputable fact is that the Cowboys' lone touchdown drive against the 49ers occurred before Tony Pollard was injured. After he went down the Cowboys became one dimensional against the league's number one defense.

What is "Super Bowl level"? Because I once watched Ben Roethlisberger win a Super Bowl while completing 9 of 21 passes with two interceptions.

Teams win championships. There are games in which QB's take on a bigger role in wins and losses than others. The Cowboys' problem seems to be they never seem able to pick things up at times things are gong rough for Dak and Dak can't pick things up when things are going bad for the team.

I still look at the 49ers loss in the playoffs last year. Before San Fran scored a TD, Trevon Diggs dropped what would have been a pick six. Not blaming Diggs for the loss, but that was a pivotal play in a game Dallas lost by, yes, seven points. But Diggs isn't the quarterback so almost nobody talks about that. If Dak had a pick six, though.......meltdown.

As for that tweet, why should Dallas have to pay Dak "before the market rises"? I'm sorry but if Dak can't deliver the goods this year then it's time to move on, a few seasons of rebuilding be darned. Just because your neighbor bought a $50K electric vehicle does not mean you have to as well, especially seeing as how they constantly need recharging after only a short distance and the cost to replace the battery is more than the car will be worth.

RJ, one of the biggest Dak homers of all, said to throw an 8 year QB in the race with guys like Burrow and Herbert, who are still in their rookie deals and weren’t setting Quincy Carter records of futility like Dak was as a glorified game manager, with the best OL and RG in the league taking all the pressure off him…

And SF RB ran out of bounds to give Dak another opportunity to choke, though if he stayed in bounds the game would have been over.. forget about the fact the defense held SF into FGs, despite Dak tossing INTs in easy scoring position

 

[khiladi]

Oh by all means be happy, just don't run out claiming that this is it, he has turned the corner, seen the light or whatever other cliche sports terms you want to trot out. He has proven that he will light up a bad team, but that same dude will light up his own team against the average to better teams.

And those are bad teams against a clearly superior roster of his…. He also struggled against garbage teams when he’s in his annual slump..

It's Fish but still shows how this is brewing on the back burner

Dak Prescott Next Cowboys Contract: $351 Million - Highest-Paid NFL Player Ever?​

Dak Prescott is presently a "$40 million APY'' player ... who is likely to soon be a "$50 million APY'' player - which could make the Cowboys QB the NFL's highest-paid player ... ever.

Apparently, he misinterpreted the article he took it from and went back and re-qualified it. That includes TOTAL cap hit, with what is included now in his current contract, plus the extension.

 

[khiladi]

Dak is a TO machine in reality. Ever since 2019, without the dumb-down ball control offense of Linehan, Dak hasn’t had something like 2 game stretch where he hasn’t committed a TO, including an INT or fumble.

 

[CowboyRoy]

EXACTLY! I knew it and my buddies with me knew that the moment Pollard went down, it was all over. Any real chance for us to win.

With Zeke and his 2 ypc they no longer respected the run and were flooding the passing lanes with the nickel zone. Nothing but tight windows and 3rd and long.

So by that, they knew Dak could not beat them. Therefore, Dak can't carry the team like elite QB's so often do.
Always blaming Zeke as usual. When Dak is more of the problem.
Using those double standards again.

It's got to be someone else besides Dak, he does no wrong. Losing one player and the team crashes? Not buying that, Dak should be able to compensate for that, but no.

When your playing a team like the Niners D you need all your horses. With Zeke only there was no run game. It was pretty much over.

Dak didnt play well either buddy. But zeke just sucks. Even in the Bucs game where we blew them out he only had like 30 yards and 2 ypc. Might as well stick a fork in him.

That was the game where Dak had over 300 yards and 5 TD's. Remember?
