Trying to win with a QB who can’t run and is slow

[NotForLong]

I remember both Sax and his problem well. The “yips” is what they called it.

Guys named Mackey Sasser and Chuck Knoblauch had the same problem….but I don’t know that’s Prescotts problem.

The problem is they want him to be a pure pocket passer, and when has that ever been an effective way to use him?

He was a 4th round pick at a time when his legs were a big part of being rated even that highly.

He was a bus driver and used his legs to move chains constantly in his rookie year and they won 13 games.

Someone then had the genius idea (I have my suspicions as to exactly who) of featuring his arm to win games.

Some blowouts…at home…against some bad division teams….I guess fueled the idea that this could work. It can’t and I’ve been saying that for years.

It’s not like I don’t like the guy or blame him. It’s not his fault that he is limited….he is simply used wrong, but overrating their own talent is the true trademark of Jerry’s Dallas Cowboys, and at this point I’m not sure we are ever getting the ones we once knew back in our lifetimes.

oh here we go . . . It is Kellen's Fault

So Dak had better overall stats AND a much better W/L record?

And you STILL tried to paint the picture that Rodgers has been better this year?????

"DURRRR BUT RODGERS WON 4 STRAIGHT BEFORE EATING CRAP AT HOME TO FINISH 8-9 AND MISS THE PLAYOFFS!"

LOL! As usual, your football opinions are complete and utter garbage.

Where did I say Rodgers had a better year? I originally referenced that Rodgers helped GB win 4 in a row to even have a shot at the playoffs (which they lost vs. DET) but yet again you make crap up and start your immature babbling.
Oh, and how did Dak do against the pathetic Commanders with possibly the #1 seed and playoff bye on the line?????

• "A qb who can’t run and is slow"
  • Tom Brady
  • Peyton Manning
  • etc...

• Sub 4.5 forty QBs that have won the Super Bowl:
  • Crickets...

I feel like a big part of the 40 million dollar deal that Dak got was because of his mobility. Now it feels like week after week the opposing QBs is doing damage with their legs as Dak stands motionless in the pocket.

His foot was still hanging off his body when he signed the Deal

 

[McKDaddy]

Dumb take. Rodgers on cowboys probably goes to superbowl easy. Sure he’s older and not as good as once was but still better qb than dak

Yeah, when you think of what other QB's would be able to accomplish with this team it's the final indictment of his deficiencies.

 

[NotForLong]

Eagles were 0-2 without hurts. Dallas was 4-1 without Dak.

Ouchy

"A qb who can’t run and is slow"

• Tom Brady

True, you don't have to be a great athlete but even at 45 Brady navigates the pocket 10x better than Dak. Watching him move around the pocket or try to accelerate to run is painful.

 

[NotForLong]

I gave you numerous reasons. Some say they hate him personally, some say that he’s greedy, some say they hate how he looks, some say they hate he took Romo’s job….not sure which reason you looking for there a bunch.

Who said this . . . The voices in your head . . . The ones that are "Systematically" destroying your mind

I've thought the same thing for many years. I think a sports physiologist could help him. I couldn't stand the Dodgers but a did feel sorry for Sax, it was hard not to. John Smoltz went from a very good pitcher to an elite one with the help of a SP.

I've witnessed mental toughness on a personal level. My daughter played on an elite travel team that competed on the national level and was the best 2-strike hitter I've ever seen. She told me she preferred being down in the count because it made her focus more. I remember one game where she fouled off 9 straight balls before driving a double in the gap. She was also the best bunter, whether it be a suicide play or just moving runners in a close game. When many other girls got 2 strikes on them, you just knew they were done. You could just see it in their body language.

All these years later and I am still envious of her mental fortitude. She never ceases to amaze me on how strong she is.

Sorry about the long personal tangent, but I do think you're on to something. I do believe his problems are between his ears and a SP is definitely worth a shot.

From power rankings as we dropped a notch:
"That's how you go into the playoffs? Cowboys fans are ringing alarm bells after their team finished an uninspired close to the regular season with a lifeless 26-6 loss to the Commanders but it's fair to wonder if Dallas will be able to flip the switch on both sides of the ball. Any course correction starts with Dak Prescott, who needs to clean up his turnover-prone ways after a 14-for-37 performance against Washington that included his third pick-six in four weeks. Meanwhile, another one-and-done in the playoffs could put Mike McCarthy on the hot seat. The pressure is building in Big D."
You guys best get your alcohol ready because I've got a feeling a Brady blowout is coming Monday night. No way in h.e. double hockey sticks Dak will be able to keep up. It's going to be more panic, throwing above and behind receivers and into the ground - he loves throwing into the ground - bigger target. And anyone who is stoopid enough to put real money on the Boys will rue the day. Stick to craps and roulette if you live in a gambling state.

Oh I got you . . . Dak is accurate. . . Just not all the Time . . . It comes and goes . . . Sometimes He is . . . Other times "Just a bad day"

Could you imagine if they judged the accuracy of a Sniper in this way . . . Or even the guy who throws knives at the Circus

Dal is rated 14 inaccuracy of all NFL quarterback. That’s a method of judging accuracy. Snipers I don’t have defensive rushers blocking their vision or applying pressure. If they did their accuracy would be great lower.Wouldn’t you say. I’m not happy with d wouldn’t you say. I’m not happy with dak Play when is off. I just try to keep a clearer vision

Dak was awful on Sunday. Not a single soul has told you otherwise, but you aren't very good at this "logic" stuff.

Your post VERY CLEARLY implied that you think Rodgers performed better than Dak this year. You're backtracking because you know how silly you sounded. Good for you! That's a start!

Rodgers needed to win "4 in a row to have a shot" ONLY BECAUSE they started the season 4-8.

Dak went 8-4. Hilarious that you even tried to implay that Rodgers' season was better. Thanks for the laughs, as always!

I think you were one of the numbskulls who said it now if I’m remember correctly. Probably why you responded.

 

[Rayman70]

Dak was a turd Sunday, in a swimming pool. Rest of the team not much better.

btw, we reacted accordingly during said turd game. I think I speak for everyone here.

You can’t make chicken salad out of chicken poop. He’s what he’s always been.

Little harsh. He isn't terrible.
He's more like chicken liver.

Naw you not living in my head. I typically don't even think of people like you if it wasn't for that other poster bringing people like you up I wouldn't even be mentioning scum. But one poster asked about you and you showed up like you typically do. What can I do? Thankfully its only a small few of people like you on this site and y'all typically don't show up when we win so here's to hoping we win on Monday so the real fans can represent us.
