Wrong. Fans can see that his weaknesses are pretty insurmountable and inconsistent in us winning through the play-offs. Better teams, with better defenses can play to the Dak Blueprint as they know he cant function in chasing a game, composure will go and he'll lose out.

Prime example....how well he played vrs Buccs play-off.....143 Rtg when we never went behind. Following week, vrs 49ers .....63 Rtg (and had two late drives to level).
He’s one of the best quarterbacks in the league at times top five. If you don’t think so you just haven’t been paying attention to the talent that surrounds him. He makes everybody better because they suck.

And suddenly when Rush took over WR's were open. And the OL suddenly held long enough. Just think about those two things and work on evaluating why.
He was constantly under throwing CD lamb, or overthrowing him lamb. Had his best season making adjustments. Cooper Rush sucks.

Ok you said I apportion Dak from being blamed... when I stated that I've never apportioned Dak away from blame.... you say I'm a Dak fan??? Go take your medicine my guy. You're contradicting yourself.

Ok, and the dumbest thing I've ever heard anyone bring up is calling and Dallas Cowboys fan, a fan of a player on the Dallas Cowboys.... I'm a Cowboys fan first. Always have been and always will be.

I cheer for the players in the Dallas Cowboys uniform. So how can you say you're a fan of a team, but don't cheer for all of its players?? Thats dumb as **** to say.

Lastly.... did you seriously even bring up Matthew Stafford?? Isn't Stafford the same quarterback who's like 11-70 vs teams with winning records?

Oh wait, you're going to say he won a Superbowl. Yeah.... the year he won a Superbowl with the Rams, he led the league in interceptions. If he was that good, he would have won with the Lions.

Great quarterbacks elevate the teams around them, correct? So Stafford, Dak, or any other quarterback don't have any excuses. It's all on the quarterback according to you.

If you're speaking of that small clan of hating spewers, sure, but why focus on such a small number when 99% of fans only care about Dak as a QB?
Not focusing on it I was just having a conversation with a person. And you decided to chime in. I don’t mind debating with different people, but that takes different personalities and a different focus.

Absolutely, Rush is strictly a backup. But, don't avoid the elephant in the room, OL held long enough and WRs were open. Why?
Dink and dunk, it made Prescott better and it made Cooper Rush better. Without a good offensive play calling consistent for the quarterback, that’s what it takes to get wide receivers open. Plus, we had a run game towards the end of the season.
Prescott was at his best methodical, dink and dunk, then all of a sudden they wanted to open it up score a zillion points like Kansas City was doing. Well, we didn’t have a hill. But that’s what happened if they changed schemes and all the sudden we went backwards. Even though we were winning

On a different note, do you think Houston defense can continue playing like this, they destroyed the chargers. Playoffs are going to get very interesting or did they just shoot their load lol

You mean like the 6 haters who run around yanking the homers' chains? You're speaking of the tiny minority. Only a very very few fans care about Dak except as it relates to his QBing.

Maybe stay out of the horrific Dak spew a little more and you'll get the true picture.
It's really ODD...to me why....er... certain people...put so much precious time and energy into such very few people. Then make blanket statements like it's a significant number and therefor needs done.

He calls them trolls and haters...yet so easily gives them EXACTLY what they came for. While thinking he's some kind of hero.

It makes no sense.

Who cares where you want to rank him, his failings come across every year, and there is NOTHING spending CAP will do to rectify it. Take Goff for example (who I presume is one of the 4 QB's put ahead of Dak), he struggles when rushed, so you build a complimentary O-LINE, which protects him and allows him to do his thing. For Dak.....
.....his 'comfort zone' is bus driving a lead, for that to happen he needs: an O-Line, a running game, more than just one of the best WR's in the league, a Defense that stop the run, a secondary that doesnt fall apart (ala GB), a better OC (how many has he gone through) and a system that suits him.....though we tried that TCO, which theoretically suited him as he didnt have to heighten his anxiety by going through long progressions, Dak just needs too much and now with that 60m AAV the onus is on him.

So you do understand that it’s the scheme around the quarterback. Then they all need help. We need too much for Prescott because we don’t have anything for Prescott. We have one receiver, no tight end. And the running back is average. But he should be a superstar winning rings. Wow.
bus driver, you mean the guy responsible for taking the team or wants to go when the wheels fall off. That’s what a quarterback is supposed to do. Be at the bus driver. Lol.

It is possible. On paper, Hous has the best D in the NFL. However, Slowik keeps falling in love w/ those long-developing pass plays, and that gets your QB killed. The other effect is wearing out your D by not possessing the ball long enough, as well as keeping the other D fresh w/ the 3 and outs or quick drives. It's so weird and so hard to explain to casual fans how quick scoring can hurt your team. Sure, it's fine against the Giants and the Raiders, but when you get into the playoffs it's a different story. ATL lost a super bowl in 16 strictly due to scoring too quickly. By the 4th qtr, the ATL D couldnt' have stopped a Pop Warner team.

Mixon carried the ball 25 times/106 yds. Keep that up and Texans could win. Go back to that Marz-like long passing trash and KC will win, and might seriously hurt Stroud.

Fergie is top 10.

RB is far below average.

Is he still running off at the mouth that people that don't want his hero as the QB of the Cowboys are actually hating precious Prescott? How embarrassing.

I was just being facetious. But you’re right. We seem to have all the pieces and then it falls apart. We lost Des Bryant, Freddy and Elliot in the same season. Then we lost Jason Winton. Every time we get a full load Jerry does something to mess it up.

100% spot on.

And it's actually dubious whether the "haters" even believe what they say. They are blatantly obviously here to yank the Dak spewers chains. The numbers are so small, you could accurately say that no one hates Dak for anything besides football/football related.

For some very odd reason, the Dak fighters appear to get their little numnums a'roarin' by repeating Dakspew. Same tripe over and over and over.

His is an idiotic stance. How the hell can you "hate" someone you have never met? The Dakapoo love is great to him.

But Dak needs the WHOLE SCHEME, both sides of the ball, to help.....that's not happening. Every team has a weakness, especially if youre paying a QB top dollar. The onus is on HIM to improve, but it's same 'ole, go behind and he'll shrink rather than lead.... if you're only getting a bus driver (for $60m), you may as well go cheap or rookie and create the help and build that Defense.....he so didnt help himself with the 4 year contract as he's really limited the chance to restructure.

Yeah, he was a superstar. I never got to see Jason Winton play, I was visiting the moon during that time.
