CFZ True Litmus Test for Dak this season!

[Cowboyny]

Seems like this board has more Dak haters then supporters. Take away the hate for a second, last year's personnel was one of the worse he has ever had:

-Gallup clearly wasn't the same player after his injury and probably shouldn't have had a big role. Tolbert gave the team nothing in his 1st season as a 3rd rd pick. Noah Brown, who has always been more of a special teamer was our #2 WR by default. A passing offense of Lamb, Brown and Shultz isn't going to be successful against any legitimate defense.

-Zeke clearly has held this team back as he isn't the same player at all. Many will say that he has hurt the team more then he has helped it not just last season but a few prior.

-Team lost Tyron for basically the regular season and had to play a green rookie at Tackle who practiced only as a Guard throughout camp. Team had to sign a 40 year Tackle for insurance. Lost their other Tackle Steele late in the season, who was the team's best run blocker. Once he went down, our run game disappeared.

-Dak was basically forced into many 3rd and longs facing teams who put extra men in coverage. Take out Lamb and let Brown or Shultz beat them. That isn't a winning formula. Yes, Dak had a career year in interceptions, where he had to force many passes into tight windows.

This year, team added a legitimate #2 WR in Cooks who has the blow off the top speed. He should open up the offense for others. Tolbert appears to have made the next step in his development, Gallup looks better, players like Vaughn/Turpin will add more juice to the offense that was lacking any playmakers outside of Lamb/Pollard.

Dak hater or not, this is the year we can get an actual true litmus test on Dak as the QB.

Every year is a litmus test.

 

[Streifenkarl]

I somewhat agree. Plus his OC has changed too. So let's see what he's truly got in him. No more excuses. Deliver and win (in the post season )

 

[PAPPYDOG]

There are no "Haters" just real Cowboy fans who see our team being held back due to the ineptness at the QB position.
You guys throw that HATE word around like it's candy.
Is your world so full of it or is it just your imagination?
We want to WIN and not beat dog teams like the Falcons and pad-stat them to death.
WIN...........WIN...........WIN...........WIN..........WIN......And please don't bring up our leader W-L record as its mostly from the doggy NFC East he has feasted on all these years!

Great post, good perspective. It’s pretty clear Dak’s always done well generally when given good surrounding pieces. I don’t expect much different this year.

I’ll be worried for real if he can’t be the top 8-10ish guy he’s shown he can be.

 

[shabazz]

Every year is a litmus test.

And every year a new and imaginative excuse....

 

[Qcard]

Every year is a litmus test.

Agreed!!

Dakota Prescott has developed to above or at the Curve expected for a QB on Playoff Contending team since 2016.

If Prescott continues same trajectory and the Team improves too then it's NFC Championship or Bust.

Joe Burrows litmus test....score a TD in the 4th Qtrs of ANY playoff game

The NFL has an Annointing Problem

Dak’s been proving himself for 7 years. He has nothing to prove. He’s going to be here for a very long time. The only litmus test is whether the haters have the gonads to admit they were wrong or not. Most of them don’t have what it takes.

No, there are transition points in change. OP was on target.

Dak Prescott had a team molded for him, just like Troy Aikman had.

The only thing missing now are All Pro backups.

He got the bulletin board messages...so, for me: GO Cowboys!

Sadly nothing will change minority loud haters opinions. The Cowboys have to win the Super Bowl then maybe Dak will get one more season from them. I see some fans are hating on the third string quarterback (Lance) and the guy will probably never take a snap this season.

Well he didn't always have to, he chose to!

All seriousness, if you are, you and your family and community are in my prayers for a tame hurricane season.

 

[75boyz]

At some point the law of averages, Lady Luck and Football gods hafta smile upon a scenario where he makes pivotal gamewinning throws, runs, and decisions against multiple playoff caliber opponents.
Regardless of his offensive line, run game, or defense.
His career defining winning playoff performances as a so called franchise QB.

I hope that lucky run is upon us now.

As I continue to wait.

..the fact Boy Wonder is gone. That will cut Dak INt's in half. I say he gets 7-8 this year.

Nothing left to prove? You must be kidding? He led the league in INT'S last year, even after missing 5 games. How do you define a hater? Somebody who wants Dak to succeed, but 8 years later is still waiting for him to succeed in the only way succession is measured? This team has loaded him up year after year, and in what "could" be his swan song has been gifted whiat is likely the strongest team on paper we have had while he has been QB.

You can wave your pom poms all you want, but to suggest he has nothing left to provde is just fandom. You don't have to look further than past SuperBowl champoin QB's who haven't had the team on paper we do, yet their succession was proven. Before you get your knickers in a knot, do not suggest I am a hater unless you have been a die hard for over 35 years and are content with how thie franchise has succeeded in the last 28
