How likely do you believe it is that Dak wins a Super Bowl in his career (as stated in a percentage)

Based on Dak’s rookie year, I would have guessed 60/40 in favor of Dak winning a SB.

Currently, I would put Dak’s odds at winning a SB at about 8 percent. In order for that to happen the team has to carry Dak and his heavy contract to a SB win, or Dak has to catch lightning in a bottle for 4 games (like Eli Manning).

Speak your mind, but let’s keep it civil and courteous. Thanks in advance.

Dak Prescott is not leading the Cowboys to a Super Bowl victory.

Teams win SBs, not QBs.

Having said that, you're right about the drop in the likelihood that Dak wins one.

Dak really did have an incredible rookie QB year. You'll see it in Top Ten lists. Offensive Rookie of the Year too.

Remember who he beat out? Zeke. Looks like no other player got a vote.

That goes to show just what a dominant oline can do.

Dak and Zeke were made to look a whole lot better by what they had around them, including each other.

But Dak got injured, he got a big contract, so the running dimension of his game was put on the shelf. I think he's extending plays less with his feet too, and he was *very* good throwing on the run horizontally in his early career.

His deep ball accuracy really has improved, but the drop in the oline, his age, and his injury, has turned him back into Mr. Happy Feet in the pocket without an extra running dimension to add to his game.

Worse QBs have won SBs. It's not all about the QB. Our defense *could* be on the verge of something special. DT is such low hanging fruit for improvement.

And finally with the retirement of Brady, there are a lot more SBs for merely mortal QBs to fight over. Some QB has got to win those. Could be Dak. But it will be more for the team around him than for what he brings to the table.

The team hasn’t extended Dak. I don’t know if the Cowboys will force a pick on a QB to push Dak, but I do think if the Cowboys see what they have graded as a legitimate potential franchise QB that they will not hesitate to pull the trigger. That might be in the first round or maybe even a slight trade up if they really believe that is THE MAN.
Draft another Dak. 4th round QB who costs nothing and brings a run dimension to the team.
Get DTs, and maybe we have a defense that can carry a young QB.
If we move on from Dak, gonna need a cheap QB to dig us out of the cap hole Dak will leave.
I think that's the model for a team anyway. Play QBs on their rookie contracts and build the team around them. One QB doesn't work out, move onto the next with a quality line up around him.
We really should have been making more of an effort to develop QBs in the last couple of years. McCarthy is supposed to be able to train them up. That's a serious value add if he can manage it. Should have pushed him to do it.

I would put Dak's odds of winning a Super Bowl somewhere equal to the Cowboys winning a Super Bowl within the next three years.

Seriously, the more times they can get in the postseason, the better the odds. That's why you build a long term competitive team.

But those worse QB had, at one time, won 3 CONSECUTIVE PLAYOFF GAMES to get to the Super Bowl.
And if I may add, Dak is 2-4 as playoffs QB over 7 years. Tha works out to 1 playoff win every 3 or so seasons.
Is tha good enough?
As tha chap Tony Soprano asked in an existential way, "Have we not learned anything?"

And any rude person brings up the "it's a team effort," I say unto you I now know you have lost the arguement.
No one remembers the Matt Snell or the Jim Turners, they remember the Namath chap QB because as so they led so they are loved.
Dak lovers believe in Good Enough. I believe in music, I believe in love. But I believe mostly tha Dak is a good backup at the most but a rattled and underconfident QB for us at critial times. (49ers 2021. 49ers 2022)
Blimey, I want to shout No, Dakota No! every time I view him on the tele.
Oh, what's the use? We have the Dak Albatross for a while...

There is more chance at me seating at the balcony after the coronation and hitting the Spanish lotto and dating Odalys Garcia than Dak getting to a Super Bowl.

I dont think this team wins a SB with or without Dak, he is kinda irrelevant to the actual problem

The actual problem is that Jerry and his idiot boy have no idea how to build a championship caliber team.

Until that changes, dont expect Dak or any other QB to win a SB in Dallas.

Unfortunately dak making the super bowl doesn't have as much to do with his ability as it does with our front office recognizing his limitations and going all in to put enough talent around him.

I think there's a short window and for DAk to get to a super bowl the front office has to absolutely hit it out of the park with this draft and acquire enough quality free agents to get us over the top.

DAk is at that point in his career where he's as good as he's going to get and it's really pretty simple we will go as far as the talent we are able to acquire and put around him

You acting like Dak is the sole reason we have not or will not win a SuperBowl.

Like I said, the problems with this team go deeper than who the QB is.

And for anybody that thinks I am wrong, please remind me how many SuperBowls we have won since 1995.........pretty sure Dak was not drafted till 2016

So that is what, 21 years Dak was not on the team but yet we failed to win a SuperBowl? How is that possible if its all Dak's fault:huh:

For some odd reason I concern myself more with the recent QB and the past 7 years than with Chad Hutchison in the 2002 season.

If fact his ineffective play may have cost us a deeper run into the playoffs for 2 years.
A QB cannot single handedly win a super bowl but great play can put you over the top.
Below average play can stifle your chances and cost games

First off, Dak is a great person who gives to the community but Dak the QB will never win a SB. He has no chance of going toe to toe with Mahomes or Allen and coming out on top. Those AFC teams are battle tested. We've seen Dak against the Chiefs D and the Bills D and it's ugly. Daks biggest problem is he just doesn't play well against the better teams on the big stage. Asking him to do it for three games is a far far star away.

I just don’t understand still, how it could be put on one player. Aaron Rodgers one ring. Yes Prescott can definitely get a Super Bowl if the team is capable.

Hell, the odds are pretty low for ALL NFL starting QBs. Why do you think so many who played 8-10+ years won ONLY one? Bradshaw, Akiman, Montana and Brady are exceptions but you could argue they are all surrounded by a boatload of talent and great coaching. In other words, QBs don't WIN Super Bowls.

Based on the fact Jerry and son are still building the team, i'd say near zero.

You can talk about his contract all day long, BUT the fact is this team is MUCH better now than his rookie year, with his rookie contract.

No one gets 60/40 with me. Always bet the field, but in this single season my odds are better than ever before. I'd give him 20%.

This is shaping up to be a fantastic team. If the ball bounces our way it could be a special season
