What's the story on Dak Prescott?

[KB1122]

If you started at quarterback three years in college and you're not a first or early second round prospect I don't have a lot of faith in you. He apparently ran a decent amount in college but his 40 was over 4.8, so I don't see that translating to the NFL.

 

[DogFace]

my thoughts: why waste middle round draft pick if your not serious about addressing QB.

Because if you like the talent sometimes the pick pays off. There are plenty of busts in the top of the draft at this position as we all know.

Sometimes people win the lottery too. We have plenty of other positions that need addressing, with much higher chances of being contributors being drafted in the mid rounds than a QB. What we need at QB is a quality starter to replace Romo down the road, and it needs to be a first round guy to not be lottery ticket level chances of it paying off.

I would be thrilled if Cowboys select Dak. He has the mental make up that so many of the greats have!

I go nowhere near the wheel if ive had drinks, but anyone who judges a young kid that gets a dui is just a hypocrite. Everyone has used bad judgement at some point, many just grew up before learning a hard lesson.

Same goes for anyone who is killed by the result of someone drivng under the influence? Never have I got behind the wheel while drunk. So as for that bad judgement, not everyone has that.

He got pulled over for a DUI March. Test was inconclusive, but it was a minor red flag nonetheless. Stupid to put yourself in that situation.
I assume the joke was about that...

I don't know about us drafting him, but I think character is one the LAST things anyone would worry about with this guy.
His leadership and character are considered his strongest assets.

He got voted the national CLASS award winner, given to the most exemplary student athlete...in and out of class.
He got voted to the SEC Good Works Team

etc

He's certainly not a problem guy.

Problem is, he's not a QB either

Talk about a stupid post lacking in judgement

2 of the top 5 in the league right now we're aquired after the mid rounds. So it is possible if we see a guy we like it's worth a shot.

What about the chance a first round guy will fail?

There's a YouTube video from this past spring break and he's getting into a fist fight at a beach in Miami....

There's no video of him getting into a fist fight.

There's video of him and a team mate getting jumped by a bunch of spring break thugs, who bragged about beating up football players afterwards. Even the police described him as the victim.

While I agree with you in principle, no everyone has not used bad judgment to where you can put another's life in jeopardy the way you do when you drink and drive.

Let's not compare that to a kid taking a piece of candy from the 5 and dime store.

Watch "Dak Prescott Fight [Full Video Multiple Angles] Spring Break 2015" on YouTube


At least he knows what Romo feels like 3 times a game

From what I understand, the guys attacked Dak. Just because someone gets in a fight doesn't mean he starts it. And few people are going to stand there and get beat up.

Im comparing it directly to people who have got behind the wheel after having a drink. If you havent done it, youre a liar.

 

[tyke1doe]

I'm resigned to the fact that we'll draft Dak. I just hope it's with our conditional fourth or lower, especially if we get more picks in a trade down.

I haven't. I don't drink.

 

[Craig]

I should also clarify, i have no interest in dallas drafting prescott, i just thi k the judgement over something like this, that easily the majority of kids his age have done, is silly.

 

[NickZepp]

I don't see Prescott's game translating to the pros. Weak arm, not very accurate, not a great decision maker.

The logic you guys are using to not take on Prescott sounds INSANE among other things.

You don't judge a guy on what he did in college. You judge on what he can become in the NFL. We aren't talking about a 1st rounder here. Hopefully we are talking a 3rd or 4th rounder. He's a potetnial guy. A project. He's not a day 1 starter.

I just never understand the point of writing someone off because they aren't highly touted or because they don't share the attributes that other guys do. You can't judge him on his measurables or 40 time. Time and time again these moronic scouts do it and fail.

All of this stuff like weak arm...nor accurate.......

He's not NFL ready. We get it. No one said he was.

Look at some of the things said about Romo before he was drafted:

Ron Nay, Washington: "Not very accurate. Throws the ball all over the ballpark. IMG's trying to convince people he's really good but he isn't. Real late or free agent. I just can't imagine him being drafted."

Marc Ross, Philadelphia: "He's OK. He's a good-sized kid. Not the greatest athlete. He might be a late guy."

Charley Armey, St. Louis: "Way down the line. He's a take-a-chance guy. I wouldn't draft him."

Ron Nay, Washington: "Not very accurate. Throws the ball all over the ballpark. IMG's trying to convince people he's really good but he isn't. Real late or free agent. I just can't imagine him being drafted."

whats your point? Romo was undrafted.we will have to use a 3rd Rd pick or higher on Prescott and he already has 3 strikes against him.He doesnt have a starting caliber NFL arm,not accurate at all for anything other than short throws and he is a bad decision maker in his personal life.

My point isn't about Romo's selection. My point is, people didn't draft Romo because of these moronic scouting reports that he wasn't ready to start. Of course he's not. So he isn't worthy of a draft pick? Romo should've been a draft pick. Dak will be a draft pick but people are in here trying to convince themselves he's not worthy of even a 3rd rounder? That's silly.

And you're sitting here telling us what he is and what he isn't as if you've done anything more than watch a game or two or watch some highlights on him. What 3 strikes are you referring to?

Romos release is one of the fastest in the league,he can make up for lack of arm strength.I have seen Prescott play for 2 years.His arm strength and accuracy even on intermediate throws or to the sidelines is bad.his release is average at best.Romo is a Houdini in the pocket,he has a sixth sense back there ,Dak on the other other stares at his rushers instead of his targets and takes unnecessary sacks.I wouldnt waste a 3rd rd pick on him.
