Dak Prescott thread

[Mariner]

Dak is actually being incredibly smart by not being good enough to win the division but being good enough to have the best record of the other playoff teams. That means he will face whatever trash team comes out of the NFC South and get an easy first round playoff dub, thereby dispelling various notions about him not being able to win in the playoffs and receive a huge contract extension this offseason.

Tamba Bay is not looking so nice anymore.

[Micah Prescott]

Dak won a playoff game in Tampa Bay just last season. Threw 4 TDs, 300 yards and ran for 1 TD which was more than any Dallas QB in the franchises playoff history.

[Mr B]

No one's opjnion in here matters and the reality is that Dak as individual player has been amazing this season and he is going to be extended with a record breaking contract.

When this happens someone needs to do a house check on BJJ because he will be at high risk of cardiac arrest. And that's only a half joke, you really do seem like Dak causes you actual real world stress, you need to try and stay grounded in the fact that this is a meaningless game of men throwing a ball around.

We will see if Jerry feels the same after another 1st round exit.

It will likely be 2nd round, and yes he will feel the same.

Dak has been a top-5 QB this season, no teams ever let that walk in hopes of upgrading.

Teams don't even let top-20 QBs walk.

Aaron Rodgers, Russel Wilson, Jared Goff, and Matt Stafford all say hello. All these guys were moved recently and all the teams that moved them got better. The Rams even won a SB.

[Mr B]

It will be McCarthy who is shown the door...not Dak

You guys could realistically trade Dak for a haul of picks. Draft a rookie & have him sit behind Wilson (minimum salary).

It just might work.

Micah expects Dak to win at least 1 SB over the next 5-6 years. He expects Dak will all f a sudden improve in year 9 to be the best QB in the NFL.

I honestly do not see the Cowboys going on the road to Tampa and beating Baker Mayfield and that Tampa team.

This is not last year.

I expect him to remain very good like he is now and the team around him gets better.

Maybe we are just one CMC away.

That's what it was for Rodgers....he was great most of his career, the one year he won was because the TEAM finally came together. Not because he got better.


I've harped on this repeatedly but you don't listen

Statistically we are actually better than last year and TB is worse...

The only one of these that could be compared to Dallas is the Russell Wilson situation. Rodgers got old and Dak can't be traded.

I mean if we were to get a Hershall Walker type trade for Dak, and e just rebuild from there, I might be on board with that. Dak can't be traded though

Dak is definitely having a good year. But the Cowboys also might have the best roster they've had with Dak so far. You have to consider that when Dak along with guys like Parsons & Lamb, etc. get paid, that won't necessarily be the case. Because you'll have less money to work with. You can't keep everyone around in that scenario. It's just common sense.

Yeah, it would be great if they kept drafting game changers like Parsons. But that's kind of longshot. You need to be bad enough to pick that high in the first place.

Statistically Dallas is not better on the road than they were last year. Also Baker Mayfield is playing his best football currently. You honestly feel confident that the Cowboys can go on the road and beat a hot team? Even though they have yet to beat a winning team on the road this year?

We do not have a defense that can win games by themselves. Basically what the Ravens D did to SF.

The Cowboys have not beaten 1 winning team on the road this year. Context matters.

That team? Yes

We should have beat the Dolphins.

Only SF and yes, the Bills, are teams I would say we are losing to

I’m not one of these believers that a team can just “turn it on in the playoffs”. The Cowboys have 0 wins on the road against winning teams. You’re telling me they are all of a sudden going to become road warriors and win 3 road games in the playoffs against teams that are better than anyone they’ve beaten this year?

Do we? Not if they get behind, see Buffalo.

Right. So how do you fix that? By investing more into the defense. Which wouldn't work by paying Dak.

Its happened before in the NFL. We've only played 3 teams with winning records on the road.

This isn't the NBA where we get a 7 game series. In just one game anything can happen

We shouldn’t have won the Dolphins game. If we should have won we would have won. Considering how the Cowboys have failed against winning teams this year I’m surprised the score was as close as it was.

[Micah Prescott]

IMO the undefeated Moss Patriots were the strongest NFL team ever.

They lost in the SB because "Any Given Sunday"

If they had a 7 game series with Giants they win for sure.



So yes, I think if we go to the playoffs enough, eventually something good will happen. Law of averages
