Quarterback Dak Prescott is completely unappreciated by some Cowboys fans for the things he’s done for Dallas.
As if it isn’t enough that every major media outlet is just sitting and waiting to spotlight every failure, he has to deal with it from Cowboys fans themselves.
You will never make me understand the absolute hatred that half of the fan base has for Rayne Dakota Prescott.
There are many reasons to be grateful for the player that has taken the field at quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys since 2016.
He’s Kept Dallas Relevant
Prescott has a 61-36 career record as a starter.
Those 61 wins are tied for 5th in the NFL since 2016 when he was drafted out of Mississippi State.
The quarterbacks ahead of him? You might know their names.
Tom Brady
Aaron Rodgers
Patrick Mahomes
Russell Wilson
That’s the list. The only quarterbacks ahead of him for wins since 2016 are four quarterbacks with Super Bowl rings.
Dak has never quarterbacked the Cowboys to a losing season.
The only losing season Dallas has had since 2016 was the 2020 season.
That’s the year Prescott suffered the terrible injury four and a half games into the season.
With Andy Dalton, Ben DiNucci, and Garrett Gilbert at the helm the rest of the year, Dallas finished at 6-10.
Aside from that 2020 year missed due to injury, Prescott has had the Cowboys in the playoffs or within one game of clinching a spot every season he has started.
He Commands a High Scoring Offense
I tweeted out a stat this week that has half of the fanbase fighting the other half in the comments.
You can throw some Philadelphia Eagles fans in the mix as well.
This stat hit home for me as a fan who lived through the barren wasteland of quarterbacks between Troy Aikman and Tony Romo.
Here’s a list of quarterbacks in that time for reference.
Vinny Testaverde
Randall Cunningham
Drew Henson
Chad Hutchinson
Anthony Wright
Clint Stoerner
Quincy Carter
Drew Bledsoe
Scoring a touchdown in those times required an act of Congress.
We didn’t pray for a touchdown when a drive started. We just prayed the offense wouldn’t go three & out.
A field goal or touchdown was just a bonus, and it felt like we should have a parade each time Dallas actually got into the endzone.
Tony Romo was a breath of fresh air, but even in his best season, he never matched the 30.1 points per game Prescott has.
He Is Not Turnover Prone
Dak resisters will look at this heading and probably scoff.
That would just be recency bias.
Yes, Prescott played in only 12 games in 2022, but somehow led the league with 15 interceptions.
Did you forget about the broken thumb that caused him to miss five games?
Dak broke a bone in the thumb of his throwing hand in Week 1 of the 2022 season versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Upon his return after missing five games, it was clear he was having some trouble with his control and accuracy.
To compound those issues, Prescott did not have starting caliber pass catchers at wide receiver.
This caused communication errors as well as errors in actual play. There wasn’t enough talent across the formation from CeeDee Lamb.
His Playoff Success Is Better Than You Think
Prescott has played in six playoff games since 2016.
In that same span, only seven quarterbacks have more appearances.
All of those seven quarterbacks have advanced past the Divisional round, but putting all of the blame on Dak for not accomplishing the same is absurd.
Somehow the logic is the Cowboys win in spite of Prescott, but when they lose it’s all his fault.
Based off of 2022 rosters, there are 22 other starting quarterbacks who have not advanced past the Divisional round either.
We don’t hear a peep about them.
As Cowboys fans, let big media bash Prescott if they want to. I will continue to defend him.
If you are a Cowboys fan who wants Dallas to move on from Prescott, you need to reassess the situation.
Be grateful. We are fortunate to have this man leading our team.
Dam the Noise
It’s true!!
There’s such a double standard with our fans.
Our fans trash Dak but yet talk about Romo as if he was a legend when Dak’s stats are better and his playoff record in 7 years is the same as Romo’s record in 10 years.
Luke A Bass Romo never had the supporting cast. How many years did Romo have a bottom ranked defense? How many years did he play while we “built” our front line?
Dak is okay, it’s just Romo did the same, if not more, with simply much less.
Romo had prime Jason Witten, Prime T.O., prime Dez and Miles Austin and yes he had a great O line the majority of his career.. Dak has never had the offensive weapons Romo had.. When he first came in he had Dez who was finished, Terrence Williams, Cole Beasley and washed Witten.. And where’s this defense yall think Dak has had? Last year was the first good defense Dak has played with, and all he had on offense was Lamb, his #2 was Noah Brown a special teams player.. I know yall gonna claim Dak had Amari Cooper and he did of course, but only in home games.. Amari was a no show on the road.. All Dak had was Zeke consistently, stop trying to re-write history and act like Dak has had so much and Romo had nothing.. Dak has done way more with less
Austin Stidham Lol. Everyone always argues in Romo’s defense. No one ever says, “Dak didn’t sit at the feet and learn for a few years under an all time great like Bill Parcells and study with Sean Payton like Romo. And Dak didn’t have Terrell Owens and Jason Witten to throw to and then Jason Witten and a young Dez. Nope Dak was drafted in the 4th round and without any notice at all, he went from 3rd string qb to a 13 game winner and never looked back.
Austin Stidham and by the way, Romo had his share of good teams but fans paint the picture that he had no help. You said yourself that “he never had a supporting cast” but it’s not true.
Media: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=205555072391632&set=p.205555072391632&type=3
Austin Stidham most of those guys should not have been in the pro bowl, but it shows just how ridiculous the pro bowl nominations were, especially since it was partially fan votes not merit.
Austin Stidham the only years that was really the case with romo were the 2012/2013 seasons. Early in his career , the teams were loaded. Same thing late in his career , but unfortunately injuries cut his career and he didn’t get a chance to play with the 2015/2016 teams, which had a Super Bowl caliber roster. If you REALLY pay attention to how the fan base treats the two though, it’s very similar. Most the theories that ‘romo was a legend’ came about after he was gone. While he was here, the fanbase complained about him not being good enough to win the big games, choking in crunch time, etc. Same things they are doing with Dak now.
Totally true
Jeff Cupples Nobody EVER accused Tony Romo of not being able to read a defense, that the “speed of the game is too much for him”, Nobody said a word when he became the highest paid player in the league but people STILL bash Dak 2 years later about his contract. Nobody called Romo greedy, selfish, only cares about himself like they do Dak
Austin Stidham Perhaps true, but for the record, I also see Romo for what he was: a garbage-stats guy that even his HC (Bill Parcells) said wasn’t the answer–but for some reason, fans wanted to pretend he was, and now his record his clear: no playoff legacy, no rings, no excellence. Just a big paycheck and stats that ran high because of rule changes and weak competition.
To me, Dak’s just the second coming of Tony Romo. After Roger and Troy, unfortunately, the team has never had anybody close to an elite QB again.
No, he needs to deliver in the big moments
Clinton Avery he or the team? He puts up 30 points a game for the past 3 seasons… With no play makers. and a 28 ranked offensive line!!! The man isn’t God
Joseph Durant no playmakers? He’s the no play maker. F him.says the same shit after every loss.
Jeff Wall led the league in touchdowns and passing yards after he broke his thumb on his throwing hand and QB behind the 28 ranked offensive line with a hurt Gallup playing with a torn ACL CD playing wide out 1 and Noah Brown as the money receiver come on man don’t be silly
Jeff Wall there’s no QB in the NFL that can play behind a 28 ranked offensive line and developing receivers by the way all runs a 4:5 forty with no QB in the NFL that played with that and still finished with the top offense and made the playoffs. With what he plays with. Give me one
Joseph Durant what else did he lead the league in last year? Even after being out how many weeks?
Jon Heidel 5 weeks with a broken thumb on his throwing hand!!! Are you trying to tell me a broken thumb can be 100 percent in 5 weeks to grip a football in a professional NFL game? And how many of those picks were tipped by the receiver or bounced off their chest? I know that’s where you’re headed because that’s the 1 and only thing anyone can argue .. 1 year out of 7 and we still lead with touchdowns and passing yards and the second round of the playoffs
Joseph Durant how many were just straight ugly throws? Plenty of both. I like the guy as far as it goes. I used to work with someone who was a running back with him miss state. Fact is he just can’t get it done. Maybe this year willl be different. That’s become the cowboys rally cry
Jon Heidel how many?
Joseph Durant go ahead and watch his tape. I shouldn’t have to tell you this. His record should speak loud enough. Not sure what your profession is but if you can’t get it done than you can’t get it done. Save this post and hopefully I’m wrong come January. Don’t think I am
Only 1 QB has more wins than him and that’s Mahomes!! Go check it out
Joseph Durant try Daniel jones who played with one offensive lineman and a running back and made the playoffs
Artie Fox lol you tripping you mean the one who can’t beat Dak? Oh and only 12 touchdowns passes last year? Stop it the Giants don’t even want him they didn’t have anyone else but they won’t make the playoffs this year I promise you that
Joseph Durant they will make the playoffs along with Dallas and Philly .
Joseph Durant seriously? Burrow has already been to a Super Bowl. So has Jalen. Dak should be at a point where he is excelling not making excuses
Artie Fox they won’t!! Jones and the Giants got lucky last year!! Detroit and the Bears will take their place
Joseph Durant the teams that will be in are same as last year except Detroit beats out Vikings and Carolina wins that division
Jon Heidel Burrow has all the weapons in the world but they won’t go back and Philly is blessing Jalen with veterans and top draft picks!! Jerry is trying to win by drafting and developing so he can get all the praise!! Why can’t y’all see this??
Joseph Durant ok man. Jerry is an ass no argument there. Dak has had his chances though. I wish the guy would win but he’s not going to
Jon Heidel Jerry’s playing with us if he wants to win he will win!! I think he’s ready now.. Jerry’s a businessman if he wins his money will stop!! The cowboys are the richest sports team in all sports..
Joseph Durant I know that. Dude loves his team like no one else. His money already doesn’t stop. I said save my post bro. I grew up loving the cowboys because of my dad and I really hope you can throw this in my face come Jan-feb. But I don’t think I’m wrong
Joseph Durant no one cares about his 30 points in week 14. When playoffs come around he doesn’t deliver. That’s when it matters, or regular season.
Joseph Durant put up 30 points a game, but throws a pick on winning drive. Kinda cancels out
2 playoff wins don’t impress me. Daks trash
I think it’s pretty obvious why this segment of so called fans hate Dak Prescott the way they do and here’s why: (1) The majority of these people are Tony Romo fans and they still haven’t gotten over how Dak replaced him back in 2016. They thought Romo got a raw deal and should’ve got another chance to play once he was healthy. But the bottom line is the team already rallied around Dak, they were on a 10 game winning streak and as much as Jerry kept hinting at a possible Romo return, Jason Garrett did the right thing by sticking with Dak. And everybody remembers that fateful day when Romo held that press conference and relinquished control of the team to Prescott. (2) Dak Prescott is black. Let’s keep it real here. We’re talking about Texas. Go back through the history of the Cowboys and name me 1 other franchise QB that’s been black. Face it, there are people who just can’t handle the fact of Dak being the face of this franchise for this reason. Look at how they jumped on the Cooper Rush bandwagon, calling for him to permanently replace Dak, saying that “Rush is going to do to him what he did to Tony”. Knowing Rush isn’t anywhere near as good, they didn’t care. These people would rather fail with Rush at QB than succeed with Dak
Michael Evans Dak is literally Romo 2.0.
Michael Evans pretty sure we thought Carter was going to be amazing. Your opinion is no where near the truth.
Peter Wasney Really? Quincy Carter was challenged the moment he stepped on the field and every moment afterwards. They continued to bring in QB’s trying to replace him every year
That’s because he sucked.
Michael Evans ya so? What’s your point. He was supposed to be a star qb. Just shooting your opinion down. It’s tools like you that bring up the race thing all the time. I loved Romo and Dak is still the man. If you are a true fan you would realize people were getting tired of Romo too. If you know anything about football, unfortunately it’s the QB of franchises that take the brunt of loosing. Doesn’t matter colour, just stop. Carr, Goth, Wentz, Stafford, etc all been ran out of town for underperforming. I still think Dak can get things going but there is always that “what if”.
Peter Wasney and yet you can’t disprove anything I said
Michael Evans already did, can’t read?
Michael Evans Romo was far superior at that time. The offense was setup for Romo to run. Dak could barely keep it going. It was based of the run for Dak. Both your reasons probably are a few people. But majority of us see a player who has never accomplished anything. Chokes in big games and then demands to be paid like he has won Super Bowls. Then gives us nothing. That is people’s problem. If he was paid like the average QB he is then people would have less of a problem with him.
I think your logic is flawed. Dak has taken a beating from good defenses because jerra won’t pull the trigger for a good offensive line. Like most good cowboy quarterbacks down through history Dak is suffering the misfortune of being a star quarterback during the jerra Era. Just watch the archives of quarterback hits on ALL quarterbacks. Every star quarterback has had to retire because they had their freaking bells rung so much.if you’ll bother to check, you’ll see I was right. Because jerra thinks any quarterback who wears the star should be a wizard. Far as your mistaking statement, our front lines were, and still are overrated. When quarterbacks can only count on the average of 2.5 seconds before the pocket collapses around him, it’s a major miracle any quarterback since Aikman is not brain dead.
Both quarterbacks are great. The front office is the culprit. If you want to T off on someone, try jerra. I think I have watched a game or two in my day, from bullet Bob Hayes and dandy Don, on down Creg Morton and Roger Staubach, to Dak Prescott,. I’ve seen them all. I’d rate Prescott above Aikman simply because Aikman had the perfect team for 5 straight years. But jerra let his ego destroy the making of a true football dynasty, by firing a super bowl winning coach. Probably the only time in nfl history that’s ever happened. No my friend, the problem with the cowboys is not the quarterback, it’s jerra. Always the will be until the arrogant jerk forgets where the stadium is.
Michael Evans This is the most dumbest rhetoric I’ve ever heard. I could give two shits if he’s black. Dak needs to stop being ungrateful for the position he’s in. He needs to be clutch when it matters and he needs to stop under throwing and overthrowing wide open receivers. He leaves points on the field because of his inaccuracies. He’s a consistent QB In a lot of positive ways, but also in a lot of negative ways. I was a huge Romo fan and I genuinely feel if he had had this team under his belt we would be an NFC championships every year. Romo never had this kind of a defense and he had similar offensive weapons. Romo had his moments where he choked but that was also because he would get his team up to touchdowns to watch his defense fail him in the final minutes of a game. Then he was left too try to throw 90 yards down the field with a minute left in the game. Of course he was going to have a turnover in those type of situations.
There’s no excuse for Dak Prescott. Either make the throws or don’t be a QB. I would love for Dak Prescott to prove me wrong
most dumbest … heh
Robert Hufstetler Dak took the team that was set up for Romo to a 13-3 record and barely lost to Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs. It took a intergalactic field goal by Mason Crosby to win it for the Packers
Thank you so much!! Took the team down the field for the go ahead score and DEFENSE let green bay march down the field for the win!!!
Robert Hufstetler I bet you never had a issue when Jerry Jones made Romo the highest paid player in the league did you but for some reason Dak doesn’t deserves what he makes
Christopher Johnson nope, actually what he said is true. As a diehard Cowboys fan, I will support whoever is under center. Dak has been bashed the whole time he’s been the QB of the Dallas Cowboys and it’s pretty sad. Romo was good but not great and yes he had some very talented teams around him and couldn’t produce. Dak isn’t a Brady or Rodgers, but he’s a top 10 Quarterback in the league. And when he got paid, it was what the QB market dictated. It’s other quarterbacks that got paid that’s no where near as good as he is, they’re just a different color and don’t play for the Cowboys
This is a league dominated by black players. Stop race baiting. We just want to win super bowls. Period. Romo is significantly better than Dak. He made wide receivers around him better. Dak doesn’t do that. In fact he does the opposite a lot of times. I was a big dak fan The first couple of years and then I was able to take a step back and realize his mediocrity in a lot of areas.
Michael Evans I don’t think real fans give a shit about skin color or Romo I think we just want to win no matter who the Quarterback is. Romo was mediocre and now Dak is mediocre. They’re good but nowhere near great . Mahomes is great and could probably take any team to a suoerbowl .nobody is taking Dak for granted we just calling it like we see it.2 playoff wins in 7 years/. Nuff said. If Mahomes was our QB we’d have 3 more rings by now with the talent we’ve had.
But we don’t have Mahomes as our QB. I don’t see the point for people to continue to whine over what Dak isn’t. He’s better than most QBs out there, and if they build the team right around him and Parsons we have a shot at winning a SB. That’s all you can ask for realistically. Or keep whining that we don’t have Mahomes. That will do it.
Jerry J. Jones-aka Jesse Only the armchair QB’s and couch GM’s believe Dakbis mediocre. He’s a top 10 QB in every category that matters
He’s a zero in the only category that matters — Super Bowl wins.
Michael Evans Dak isn’t close to romo and he sucks
Robert Hufstetler your statement is total BS. And Dak is far from average says his stats, and his win-loss record. In Romo’s time he was paid just as well, delivered far less, and yes, he did have great players around him as well. Murray, Bryant, Witten, several pro bowl offensive lineman . https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1586304-new-deal-makes-tony-romo-nfls-most-overpaid-player-by-far
Michael Evans not to mention a 3rd and 26 conversion to even get in FG range which if Garett had managed the game better would have never happened.
Jerry J. Jones-aka Jesse first of all, he hasn’t played 7 seasons unless you’re blaming him for not making playoffs in 2020 when his ankle was completely snapped in half. Montana, Manning, Brees and other notable QBs all took until at least their 9th season to reach a championship game…it doesn’t always happen overnight…in fact it’s pretty rare!
Michael Evans say it louder for the haters in the back. They hate him so much for those reasons that they refuse to see how great Dak is. And honestly he is on the way to winning a Ring. It’s coming and the haters better not be all on his D when Dak gets us that ring.
Stephanie Paige Tillery preach it loud sister
Ryan Hunter his stats say otherwise
Ryan Hunter Really? You think so? Ok let’s take a look at the first 7 years of Tony Romo and Dak Prescott
Media: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=9655608844510078&set=p.9655608844510078&type=3
Michael Evans, I didn’t like Romo he best season was the season before he got hurt the season with the catch rule on Dez B. Dak needs to prove he’s a big game QB in the big games and playoffs. It’s not about hate it’s about getting the job done when the game is tight and on the line !
All wrong.
The speed of the NFL moves too fast for Trashcott to process in real-time.
Proof : all of his passes behind the receivers. Because he throws where the receivers were not where they will be in 2 steps
Marcel Brown just like this game right?
Media: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=9656016561135973&set=p.9656016561135973&type=3
Marcel Brown All you Dak critics use the same argument: Dak can’t win the big game, which he has, Dak can’t beat good teams, which he has, Dak is inaccurate, he has the highest completion percentage in Cowboys history. He can’t read a defense, which is borderline racist in my book. He’s a int machine, last year was a anomaly, not the norm. Just stop it already
Michael Evans you sir are dead on with both of these. ESPECIALLY #2.
Robert Hufstetler you said Romo was far superior but Romo has accomplished just as much as Dak and Romo is one of my all time favorite Cowboys
Michael Evans
LOL shit dude take up golf because you have no clue about football. Shit my wife knows more and doesn’t even follow it
You had me right up until you pulled the race card. But to everyone reading your post, it’s pretty obvious who the real bigot is here. There is no room for bigotry in sports. Try again when you learn to be less bigoted. By the way, I love Dak.
Dean Turman so let me get this straight? You’re questioning the intelligence of Dak Prescott ability to read a NFL defense? That is the longest, oldest racist trope against the black QB, that they’re incapable of playing QB in the NFL due to their perceived lack of intelligence. It’s a good thing that you’re dead wrong
Media: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=9656116704459292&set=p.9656116704459292&type=3
Using Facebook to try and prove a point? LMAO!
Michael EvansIt has nothing to do with Romo. It’s watching a $140 million QB choke in the playoffs, and lead the NFL in interceptions playing 5 fewer games. It’s clear as day Dak is not the guy.
Johnny Pedigo exactly
Michael EvansYeah, you just lost all credibility pulling the race card.
KellyandAlicia Brown Thank You for keeping it real
Tony Webb You think so? Try me. I’m your huckleberry
Rynie Rynie It’s called the truth card, prove me wrong with anything I said. And you know what’s the worst part of this? This is coming from supposedly Cowboys fans that were dead silent for a decade over Tony Romo and his shortcomings
Michael Evans You’re picking a few Romo fans and applying it to anyone that doesn’t agree with you about Dak, then you’re using the race card, which is the weakest argument on the planet. Here’s some advice: stay away from anything that will force you to have to read another person’s opinion you don’t agree with if you can’t handle it.
Michael Evans who makes wrs far better? Maybe football isn’t for you
Bobby Cox how so? Romo was alot more clutch casual
Johnny Pedigo you’re a casual
Damon Smith you’re a casual also
Rynie Rynie once again you suffer from recency bias. Dak has never been a QB to throw this many picks, that is fact. Go look at his TD/INT ratio. It’s top 10 all time so enough with the 15 interceptions. That was a anomaly, not the norm. Where’s your outrage for Josh Allen who led the NFL in turnovers and threw just as many picks as Dak did? Or how about this: Remember 2 years ago when the Rams won the Superbowl? Guess who lead the league in picks that year? It was Matthew Stafford with 22 but again he along with Josh Allen gets a pass from people like you and the media but want to trash Dak day after day after day
Jerry J. Jones-aka Jesse medicore casual

Ryan Hunter Dak is going to get CeeDee Lamb probably the highest paid contract for a receiver this year. How is Dak without Amari Cooper? How about a 12-5 record and a divisional round playoff berth. Did Amari Cooper make the playoffs last year?
Michael Evans you’re slow a f
Michael Evans sit down casual
Ryan Hunter And that means what again? Dak said from day 1 whoever is open will get the football
Ryan Hunter nah, you’re up in your feelings, I deal in facts and here’s another one for you: Dak Prescott isn’t going anywhere anytime time soon
Michael Evans facts like Dak is carried?
Dink and dunk QB’s don’t throw for 4900 yards and 37 touchdowns. Go sit back down
Media: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=9656707891066840&set=p.9656707891066840&type=3
Ryan Hunter You’re going to extremely disappointed when Dak gets extended for another 4-5 years on top of the 2 years left he has on his contract. That’s 7 more years Dak will be the QB in Dallas and there’s nothing y’all can do about it except screech from the back of the room. You are in the minority in this fanbase which makes your opinion irrelevant. Hate on Dak all you want, it will not change the reality that he’s here to stay until he decides otherwise
Sadly, this is all you are correct on in your racially-motivated tirades. And sadly for the fanbase, this will be 7 more years of no Super Bowls.
Michael EvansLmao. Did you just justify Dak’s interceptions because another QB – who has WON A SUPERBOWL – had some? Josh Allen? We’re not talking about Josh Allen; we’re talking about Dak. Try and keep up.
Rynie Rynie Well you’re really going to be pissed when Dak’s new extension pays him way north of 50 million dollars a year.
Ryan Hunter 2-6. That’s how.
Bobby Cox teams are 2-4 maybe football isn’t for you
Bobby Cox romo made wrs better more clutch carried teams unlike Dak
Ryan Hunter What you mean like this one?

Ryan Hunter 2 out of 6. Maybe you don’t understand stats
Ryan Hunter my college, Jay Novacek, and semi pro league disagrees with you. What’s your expert on field experience?
Bobby Cox those are team wins and losses you seem slow
Ryan Hunter I know I know, that one was a fluke. How bout this one? Against the best team in the NFC at the time
Media: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=9656755974395365&set=p.9656755974395365&type=3
Bobby Cox do you know teams have wins and losses?
Michael Evans dude keeps trying it’s freaking hilarious
Ryan Hunter Vikings was one of the top 3 teams in the NFC, but I get it #movethehoalpost
Ryan Hunter I know 1 player touches the ball every play, reads the defense, and decides where to put the ball in play. Only 1 player does that.
Bobby Cox so romo made Murray fumble? Did romo play defense?
Bobby Cox Yee haw
Ryan Hunter so a RB controls the game flow more then the QB. Ok then.
Bobby Cox qbs don’t play every position slow one do you comprehend
Bobby Cox who made wrs better Dak or romo you slow hi***bi***
Jerry J. Jones-aka Jesse Mahomes is a good QB, but 3 SB’s if he was our QB is stretching it don’t you think. Hell he may or may not win another one. Fact is the Dallas Cowboys has had only 2 quarterbacks to get the to the Super Bowl in their existence and honestly I think Dak can be the 3rd.
Ryan Hunter you obviously don’t understand the game well enough. I played on field for over 20 years and coached. There are different tier levels of responsibility, and nobody is more responsible then the QB. If you don’t believe me, go look at the contracts and tell me who the highest paid players are. There’s an obvious reason for that, which you are missing.
Bobby Cox so romo was responsible for Murray fumbling? Don’t run pos
Bobby Cox Bobby Cox who made wrs better Dak or romo you slow hi***bi***
Michael Evans the only way I know to be, some folks just can’t handle the truth.
Ryan Hunter what’s funny is you said Dak can’t win big games and take them over. 2 of the top 3 teams in the NFC blown out by Dak and the Cowboys but hey it doesn’t fit the narrative for anything positive about Dak so I get it. The Romo lovers will never get behind him no matter how much he wins
Bobby Cox blames romo Yee haw don’t you have a cow to castrate of something
Media: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=271727255382002&set=p.271727255382002&type=3
Ryan Hunter Romo made more game changing decisions throughout the game then 1 fumble could account for.
Bobby Cox Bobby Cox who made wrs better Dak or romo you slow hi***bi***
Bobby Cox why aren’t you answering
Bobby Cox won’t answer me sad
Ryan Hunter doesn’t matter. In the end the results are the same.
Bobby Cox not answering gottcha is you’re wife a dude?
Ryan Hunter by your logic, Jim Kellly is the goat of all time, even tho he never won a SB.
Bobby Cox are you trans? Get some balls
Bobby Cox what logic is that
Ryan Hunter you ignore the results and pander to stats that didn’t succeed in wins. Just like a Dak nut licker.
Bobby Cox teams win romo was the best part of the team and you won’t answer coward
Bobby Cox team results?
Ryan Hunter Romo was a choker. Just like Dak.
Bobby Cox The guys on the OL actually has more responsibilities than the QB, yes the quarterback position is critical, but that doesn’t justify them being the highest paid. The position is just the most popular one, from pop Warner, high school, college and the NFL.
Bobby Cox had enough yet woman?
KellyandAlicia Brown there are 5 of them. That’s nearly half the offense. We are speaking on single position importance. Not 1 compared to 5.
Bobby Cox okay I get that, so if we’re going by a single position, then I would have to go with the center position, he calls all the blocking assignments and that to me is very important. All 11 players has different responsibilities and one mistake can make the best player vulnerable.
KellyandAlicia Brown so the Center is the most valuable responsible player on the team, that controls the flow of the offense and where to move the ball in order to score. Gotcha.
Bobby Cox I never said that the center was the most valuable, only stated that the center position was just as important as the QB position, the OL can make or break any QB or RB for that matter, so yes the center position is very very important
Michael Evans you may as well give up trying to explain your points, most fans and media personalities will never give Dak the credit for being a good and very intelligent QB, but they praise the likes of Daniel Jones, Josh Allen, Kurt Cousins and so many others that hasn’t done crap. But I’m sure you catch my drift!!
KellyandAlicia Brown how many HoF Centers are there vs HoF QBs? I’ll wait.
KellyandAlicia Brown who was the last MVP Center? Lemme know!
Rynie Rynie did you feel this same way when Daniel Jones and Josh Allen got paid,
Michael Evans FACTS
Bobby Cox of course QB’s out number centers in the HoF, what’s your point. The center doesn’t get wins and loses tagged by their name, and to be honest there should probably be more centers in the HoF instead of some of the quarterbacks that are actually in the HoF. So if we’re going by salary and numbers, then Dak is going to the HOF lol
When skill and/or intelligence fails pull the race card.
I said the speed of the NFL moves too fast for Trashcott to process in real-time. Nothing about Trashcott being white
Bobby Cox there hasn’t been one, doesn’t mean they weren’t deserving, hell some mvp quarterbacks didn’t deserve the award.
KellyandAlicia Brown no, it’s an example of the tier level of importance of each position. Of course you need good lineman. It’s the NFL. You don’t put people out there that suck. But 1 lineman can do his job perfectly every play and it’s not going to have the same impact as a QB with a perfect QBR. No matter how you spin it.
Trashcott can’t lead his receivers, that why he throws consistently behind receivers, put them in harms way
Ryan Hunter clutch? How many 8-8 seasons did we watch them lose the final game to make or not make the playoffs with Romo? Made playoffs 4/10 years with Romo. Made it 4/6 with Dak.
Michael Evans good God this post is stupid. It has nothing to do with what color his skin is. He’s a fucking loser. I hope this January after he stinks it up again you can come up with something better than his skin tone.
Johnny Pedigo when do they win due to dak slow mf
Michael Evans I think as a former Coach that Dak earned his spot. As soon as Tony got in the game he was injured. Understand I love Romo because he is a blue collar guy but this is Dak’s Team by hard work and dedication. All QB’s including Romo went through a learning curve and that includes the GOAT Troy Aikman
Ryan Hunter Romo was a joke as a QB and is an even bigger joke as commentator.
Joe Lanier joke
Media: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=271804185374309&set=p.271804185374309&type=3
Joe Lanier go find you’re teeth Yee haw
Joe Lanier no had 10 wrs over 8 td seasons slow one
Ryan Hunter how many playoff games did Romo win in his career ??? And still no Super Bowl appearance but he’s so much better than Dak.
Joe Lanier yes makes wrs better carried teams more clutch unlike Dak do you watch football
Ryan Hunter absolutely and I’ve yet to see a winning team that relied solely on the passing game. I’ve yet to see a Super Bowl campion that didn’t have a strong defense. Every Championship team was always a very balanced team in every aspect of play. Maybe that’s why Romo’s years in Dallas just aren’t that memorable to me.
Ryan Hunter more tham likely 10 years from now Dak’s time in Dallas won’t be very memorable either.
Joe Lanier guess you don’t know elite qb play when you see it you seem slow
Ryan Hunter Romo was never elite….he wasn’t a Mahomes or Brady or even an Eli Manning and definitely not Montana or Steve Young nor Dam Marino or Jim Kelly. Maybe as good as Jim Plunkett or even Joe Flacco
Joe Lanier stats say different
Ryan Hunter oh I see now stats are good for Romo but Dak’s stats are padded to make him look good….now I understand what’s good for Romo doesn’t apply to anyone else. Good Dat to you and enjoy your delusional world.
Joe Lanier Dak doesn’t make wrs better no and he suck’s without cooper look those up
Michael Evans don’t with the color bullshit!! That has nothing to dovwith it
Michael Evans I think these haters are just fake ass fans. Who should go root for another team?
Stephanie Paige Tillery exactly
Michael Evans guess you never heard of Quincy Carter. And the stupidity of those who call others racist when they know nothing about them is absolutely astounding. I’ve been a Cowboys fan since ’78. My favorite player of all-time is Tony Dorsett, followed closely by Emmitt Smith. Not Staubach, or Aikman, or Romo (love all of them, too) but TONY DORSETT. I’ve seen so many people like you with this self-proclaimed, profound wisdom to judge and condemn people of being racist because they don’t think Dak is that good. He’s ok, he looks really, really good sometimes, and other times he looks like straight trash like he did the last 2 years in the playoffs against our hated rival, the 49ers. He’s highly inconsistent and misses WIDE OPEN receivers quite often, i.e., Michael Gallup against San Fran last season. Pull up the video. WIDE OPEN. And while your at it, pull up the video of all the times he missed Amari being wide open. As a Cowboys fan of 45 years, I want Dak to lead us to a SB victory after not winning one in 25+ years, but he needs to play way better in the playoffs than he does. Gotta go now and put on my pointy white hat and gown and burn a wooden cross just cuz I don’t think Dak is great.
Dave Barker ok fine let’s watch the film. The very 1st play you claim Michael Gallup was “wide open”, Mike Martz will show you what really happened. He will break down ALL 17 interceptions last season https://youtu.be/eK3Uyvhcgbg
Dave Barker I call it like I see it and if that bothers you or makes you get up in your feelings, too bad buttercup. Out of all the players you mentioned in your little rant, the only one that you had something negative to say about was Dak Prescott and I wonder why? You profess love for Rodger, Troy Emmitt Tony Dorsett and Romo, but Dak is just “ok” in your eyes. He’s just straight trash, even though his numbers are as good or better than Romo. The difference between you and me is I support ALL and EVERY player that’s come through this franchise. I don’t dog, trash, ridicule anyone no matter if it’s Greg Hardy, Ryan Leaf, Quincy Carter, Terrell Owens, Randall Cunningham, none of them. You people have a personal issue with Dak Prescott because the hate he gets from his own fanbase is unprecedented. I hear the same nonsense from all of you regarding Dak. That he’s inaccurate, he overthrows or under throws receivers, he can’t hit a receiver in stride but the worse one I hear is that he can’t read a defense. Did any of you ever accuse Troy Aikman of not being able to read a defense? How about Tony Romo when he threw 5 interceptions against the Buffalo Bills on MNF, and 4 in the 1st half. Did you ever question his football IQ or is it just Dak? People say the game is too fast for him, he’s not smart enough to run a NFL offense. That is the oldest racist trope in the book about the black QB not being smart enough to process information
That’s just the thing, the team hasn’t succeeded with Prescott. A 2-4 playoff record is not succeeding, it’s just getting to the dance.
Michael Evans you never heard me get on Romo for bad games and int’s, I did. Especially the final one he threw in shootout against Manning & the Broncos. If he didn’t throw it we would have won the game and he would have broken the single game passing record. So, yeah, he got grief, too. You don’t know anything about me, or the people you accuse of racism. You seem to be the racist one throwing around unfounded accusations. And don’t mention Quincy Carter now because you forgot he was one of our QB’s until I mentioned it. I was a fan of him, too, even though he wasn’t all that. I thought he would become all that, but I was wrong. Guess you never heard how much I disliked Gary Hogeboom either, didja? No you didn’t. He was a WHITE QB of ours that was a bum who Landry replaced Danny White in a stupid move by the coach. I don’t only criticize the play and in-game decisions of black players. You’re a joke man. You call it like your racist eyes “think’ you sees it but your wrong. Oh, yeah…. I’m 100% positive you won’t believe this, but guess who one of my all-time favorite QB’s is and one who I’ve always said has one of the prettiest, tightest spirals and deep balls I’ve ever seen…. Warren Moon. So take your bs racist accusations ad shove ’em where the sun don’t shine and grow up. Not everybody that’s not a Dakaholic is racist.
Dave Barker I bet you’ve never heard of someone named Jackie Smith either? And there wasn’t a bigger supporter of Quincy Carter than I was. Even to this day I’m mad at the Cowboys for releasing him. And I know exactly who “The Mad Bomber” Gary Hogeboom is if you’re try to question my knowledge of Cowboys players be careful, because you have no idea who you’re talking to
Dave Barker And by the way, Clint Longley the guy who suckered punched Rodger Staubach in practice, was also called the mad bomber
Jerry Jones biggest mistake was getting rid of coaches that knew what they were doing and trying to manage the team himself. Dak Prescott’s stats don’t matter if he can’t take the team to a division championship game. The Cowboys will never be great again until Jerry relinquishes control and they get a general manager that knows what he is doing.
Don Kiolbassa I think letting Moore go is a concession by Jerry to your point. However if Jerry was trying manage the team himself how is Dak supposed to overcome that? I firmly believe that the players have been trying to win despite management for 15 years and just couldn’t do it.
Paul Bishop Kellen Moore should never have been given a coaching job. The coaches I was referring to were Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson, and Bill Parcel.
Don Kiolbassa you are absolutely right but Garrett should never have been forced on Phillips. I think if he was allowed to have a seasoned OC he could have won it all.
Paul Bishop Wade Phillips is a good defensive coordinator but not a head coach. He like a whole lot of others only did what Jerry allowed them to do.
Don Kiolbassa So your saying even if Mahomes was our QB we wouldnt win and that would be Jerry’s fault?
Don Kiolbassa, Moore is off to bigger and better and has a better chance of his team winning a Super Bowl than the Cowboys do with Dak. There is a reason he had a new job within hours.
Correct, Morre was the sacrificial lamb. Now he has a better QB to work with.
Don Kiolbassa they both can’t be true. Either Jerry allowed him to coach or he didn’t. He undermined Phillips at every turn and then you say he isn’t a good coach because he couldn’t win despite the owner. Makes no logical sense.
Paul Bishop I said he was a good defensive coordinator. A good head coach would have ignored the owner/general manager’s wishes or departed ways. No other NFL owner ever parted ways with a head coach after he won two consecutive Super Bowls. Jerry is the problem.
Don Kiolbassa a good HC can’t ignore the owner when his OC only answers to the owner and jacks up the chemistry of the team. Why do you think Parcells quit. Was he not a good coach?
Paul Bishop Parcells stated that he was leaving the Cowboys because he wasn’t given control over player decisions. Basically he left because Jerry wouldn’t give up control. That is why Jerry is still general manager. As long as Jerry is in control things won’t get better.
Mike Verebely The head coaches I was referring to were Tom Landry, Jimmy Johnson, and Bill Parcells.
Well Landry had to go bc Bum Bright had that in his sales agreement… Jimmy and Jerry was a mutual split and Parcells left due to health issues…
Jerry J. Jones-aka Jesse yep. Nothing is Blak Prescott fault. These same bums used to hate Romo. Now we supposed to ignored Dak gagging in every big game we play
Mike Verebely Romo never had this defense and if Romo had thrown those interceptions Vs SF everyone up here would be letting you know about it
Hank Armentrout Romo threw 5 ints in one game…lol .. against sorry Detroit , with the lead , he 4 ints ..wtf are you talking about
Mike Verebely ok? What was the score of the 5 int game? Dak threw 2 interceptions in a game decided by a TD. His choking azz got 9 points cause the punt team recovered a fumble on the 21. No TD from gagging Wak Prescott. Oh and he missed a wide open Gallup on what would’ve tied the game at 19 with 3:40 left. As far as how many INTs it’s a good thing Dre Greenlaw dropped that standard Dakky pick 6 or 26-12 looks a lot worse. Prolly woulda been better off running the last :14 seconds off the clock last year too. Defense gave him 2 possessions at 3:40 he went 3 and out but still got another chance. Sounds like a double choke last year
Don what’s a division championship game? Is that new?
Hank Armentrout lol… Ok.. and Romo threw 5 ints that the weak bears beat the Cowboys 34 – 18… So you could say…all the points the bears scored were off of Romo’s picks.. no different…all the crap you are crying Romo has done ..threw an int game closing pick against the giants in a playoff game…
Last season , the base offense was a failure as it left the offense in 3rd and 7 or more 43% of 3rd downs.
Dak was sensational on 3rd and long all year…top 5…..and did it by being top 3 in throwing small window and high risk throws. He did that with one real receiver in Ceedee and otherwise had injured guys and rookies to throw to. Analysis shows about half the interceptions were off receivers hands or receiver errors downfield. That is why Moore is gone . Dak is +10 points above replacement even with just one real guy to throw to, terrible early down offense…that is a failed run game…and an offense line that PFF had as around #24 at pass blocking..
Thanks Dak !
Author has low expectations….
He sucks!
Ken Blackman Your opinion really doesn’t matter!! The players and coaches opinions matter.
Eric Childs hahaha
No Dak has to deliver he’s had ample time and plenty of weapons tired of the excuses for this guy. He’s paid well and he needs to deliver
Don Broaddus YOU NAILED IT
I agree dude ain’t good enough Dallas better get smart he ain’t good enough look what Rams did with Goff enough said their
James Baldwin yeah but Goff didn’t have Odell did he?
Everyone has an opinion that’s just mine. You don’t have to like it I don’t need numbers from all other quarterbacks. Well I appreciate your homework it’s time for DAC to put up that’s all I’m saying
Don Broaddus opinions and FACTS are two different things. The problem is that most of you want to hold Dak hostage for 27 years of the organization’s not winning a Superbowl.
William T Clark Jr I’m not holding him hostage for the organizations failures. He’s getting paid like a top notch quarterback. There’s other quarterbacks that have been in the league less than him that have been in the playoffs and even Super Bowls. I’m not going to go back and forth with you I said what I said
Don Broaddus why y’all can’t make a point without worrying about what he gets paid?? And there are other Quarterbacks that’s been in the league longer and has done less. I’m not going back and forth either with you either because evidently you don’t have a clue. I said what I said.
Don Broaddus yes he does…they will not win a Superbowl with him…Love my cowboys tho
Deidre Conti-Thiel die hard Cowboy I want them to have success trust me
Don Broaddus me too
William T Clark Jr Uh, yeah, facts and opinions are different, but your “facts” don’t account for how different the league was 20 years ago. Also, there’s the occasional exception like Peyton Manning and John Elway who doesn’t win until late in his career, but many (most, I believe) Super Bowl-winning QBs win within their first 5 years, certainly their first 7. Also, the really good ones win more than once in 7 years.
William T Clark Jr As to why it matters what Dak gets paid, it’s this: the salary cap. Dak’s contract was top-five at his position when he signed. It was and remains a substantial portion of the team’s salary cap. That limits the team’s ability to recruit elite and deep talent in the rest of the roster.
In other words, if you’re paid as a top QB, you need to PLAY like a top QB.
Players flocked to play with Brady. A number have moved to the Jets, the Jets for gosh sake, to play with Rodgers. Basically, a top QB lifts up the roster and improves the team–not just psychologically, but by being a magnet for other top talent. Exactly which top players have come to Dallas because they want to play with Dak?
Dak needs to run the ball more , that’s what made him ! He sees tentative especially goaline
Built Different Group fact’s
Some of these cowboy fans they’re just idiots they don’t know a good thing when they have it. They are romo lovers who hate Prescott for taking his job or they are a victim of being brainwashed by the alphabet networks plain and simple they are. Mad because Prescott has basically pulled A 360 on everyone and hes still here. Can you imagine how many 1st round picks are no longer in the league or on their 3rd football team? And can not cut in the mustard. This guy went in the 4th round and he’s still with the team that drafted him and people cannot stand it because he has proven them wrong, And whoever disagree with me? You are one of the 2 romo lover or a victim of brainwashed by the media. Plain and simple
Cornelius Thorn daks good years? And go don’t run
Ryan Hunter I’m lost about ur comment explain
Ryan Hunter 2016-2018-2021-2022
Cornelius Thorn what good games last 2 years?
Cornelius Thorn he can’t hold romos jock
Ryan Hunter You? Mean romo can’t hold Dak’s Jock ever since Prescott took over romo was unable to get his job back even when healthy, You just proved my point you’re a romo lover. Read my previous comment how i got you on this page to start commenting.
Ryan Hunter You basically have to do the history on Prescott ever since high school. He’d never went in as the number one quarterback he was number 2 or number 3 and the person in front of him always got hurt he took over and he never gave the job back.
Almost a full dozen assumptions in your comment. I do not like Prescott as the quarterback for the team I root for. I do like Prescott as a person. How do you balance all your assumptions with what I’ve just stated?
Talk about completely missing the point. It’s not that Dak completely stinks. It’s that he’s not good ENOUGH. He’s just good enough to beat bad teams or average teams but not good enough to beat the good teams. In the playoffs the last two years he’s been abominable. His athleticism has never been the same since the injury. I like Dak. For a while there before the injury he was better than Romo. He has decent leadership and intangibles and still uses his legs a little, though not enough.
But he’s a loser. If Dak’s your QB, you cannot win or even get to a Super Bowl. He’s proven this. He’s 29 and on the decline. They should move on ASAP. He’s also not very smart. Aikman had a great critique after the ’22 playoff loss to SF: “Michael Irvin would’ve had 10 catches at halftime if they played us the way they played CeeDee Lamb in that game.The game is not that difficult. If I’ve got a great player at wide receiver and a corner is playing him in single coverage, throw him the ball.”
Are you F–KING that stupid?
Another Danny White and Tony Romo please spare me
He’s a glorified bust when all said and done
He has underthrown practically every ball since entering the league!!! How is it that nobody sees this?!
You see what you don’t see!!!
Dak Prescott will choke again when it counts the most. It has zero to do with Tony Romo. There is no accountability for Prescott
Micheal Lewis every game counts
Mario, I appreciate that you wrote this but it won’t help. You said you can’t figure out why so many people don’t want Dak under center for Dallas.
The answer is extremely simple if you’re honest with yourself.
A large percentage has no tolerance for Dak because his skin IS NOT WHITE.
They may deny it but it’s really not much different than why so many of those same people would vote for a Donald Trump.
The “stop kneeling” aka “shut up and dribble” crowd will ALWAYS prefer a white QB.
The list of qbs between Aikman and Romo is telling in the fact that Quincy Carter is THE NAME that white fanatics will always refer to when talking about bad qb play when in fact Carter wasn’t close to being the worst plus he threw a beautiful deep ball. Racists won’t let facts stop their intolerance so that leads us to right now.
They don’t like Dak because he’s NOT WHITE.
A white qb with the exact same numbers as Dak would be appreciated in Dallas.
We live in a time where a governor of a state known for literally using black babies as GATOR BAIT is fighting tooth and nail to NOT have little white kids learn the truth about their ancestors.
These people have stopped pretending to like people outside of their race.
We need to learn to accept that truth.
It’ll clarify things in your life.
You are wrong about Donald Trump!!!
Hey Rob M, don’t waste your time replying to this guy. If it weren’t for a majority of WHITE FANS in the stands, these Black NFL players who make up 75 percent of the NFL, INCLUDING DAK PRESCOTT, would not be making MULTI MILLIONS a year. So pathetic to label people as racist because they have a opinion on a certain Black player. Even ex BLACK NFL PLAYERS have criticized DP’s play.
Racism isn’t dead, but it’s on life support. Kept alive mainly by money hungry scum bag race hustlers like Al Sharpton, MSM and DEMOCRAT politicians who pander and keep the Black community resentful enough in order to keep TURNING THEM OUT on election day.
Remember what Biden said to that Black interviewer, “If you don’t know whether to vote for me or Trump, THAN YOU AIN’T BLACK”. That says it all!
Thank you but I just think those fans hating Dak aren’t really fans bro. Good article!
You got it
He doesn’t know how to Win
Pat Winters lol Dak has a winning record as a qb. So what exactly are you talking about?
Adrian D Lea he has won “one” playoff game since 2017. And I’m talking about knowing how to win. I know he maybe an exception but Mahome,
Allen, Jones etc… they know how too.
Dak haters are the dumbest fans in football. Dude is top 10. Deal with it.
I was a huge Dak fan until last year’s Washington Commander’s game! Time to move on, he has already peaked.
Built Different Group Dak does nothing right
“He has better stats than Romo.”
Romo didn’t have Daks team. Dak feasts on the sh!tty teams to pad his stats.

Media:
Mike Pineapple Romo had strong teams .. EVERY QB pads their stats against sh!tty teams ..name one that DOESN’T….
Helen Lopez
Well he stinks
No we don’t 7 years you ain’t done Shit your not good enough
As an Eagles fan I hope Dak is your quarterback for at least the next 5 years, he is Tony Romo two. We eagles fans love Dak, keep him as your quarterback
William G Misko Jr me too because he sure loves beating the eagles
Michael FernandezEagles have bee to two Super Bowl in the Dak era, remind me how many Super Bowls , Dak and Romo been too. Danny White was better then both of them, he went to three NFC titles in a row, unfortunately they were road games for him,
William G Misko Jr you said you wanted dak as the QB as an eagles fan. I said dak is good at beating the eagles ,am I lying
William G Misko Jr Danny White was the biggest chocker in Cowboys history. You’re making excuses for him that they were road games. He had great talent in those teams, only to always throw a costly interception or take a sack.
William G Misko Jr he sure put it to y’all last year.
Jeff WallWho went to the Super Bowl
Quintin Bowleswhat is Dak record in the Super Bowl
Raul Chavarria kinda sounds like a mirror to Dak, doesn’t it?
Jeff Wall what happened in the 49ers game though? Only scored 6 and lost and watched the Eagles beat them by 30 the following weak….and Dak barely beat Minshew and the Eagles
William G Misko Jr and yours?
Quintin Bowlesthe eagles split with the cowboys last year, both starting quarterbacks did not face each other. The last game is the 2017 season, the Eagles played their 3rd string quarterback because they had home field rapped up, give me Dak’s record against eagles starting quarterbacks
William G Misko Jr 8 and 3 Dak Prescott Owen the Engles against your guys. Hurts only face him one time. With a record like that against your guys I hope he’s there another five years. Check back with me when the season starts. I’m done.
Quintin Bowleshope so too, since Dak has been the quarterback of the Cowboys the Eagles have won a Super Bowl and been to another, while Dak hasn’t been to the NFC title game, I’m done, check back in February
William G Misko Jr okay
The quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys is probably the most visible sports position in America. Every quarterback we’ve ever had has had detractors. There were even fans who wanted the team to go with Steve Walsh over Aikman. Anyone playing that position should know that you’re not going to make all the fans happy. You’re better off ignoring the media and social media and just concentrate on improving.
Tom Owen Meinen I was one who saw Troy Aikman. Troy Aikman was a QB of mine. Let me tell you, senator: Dak Prescott is no Troy Aikman.
First of all, Dak isn’t what he was before the ankle injury. He was two dimensional before and defenses had to hold up a bit because he could run. Now, he is a pocket QB and Defenses know he is afraid to run and get injured again so they can bear down on him. If you are a pocket QB, you need time to read where your receivers are going, hence second and third reads. Dak doesn’t see the field fast enough and his line doesn’t give him enough time, resulting in poorly placed passes, throws into double coverage and interceptions. He would fare better if they would beef up the O-line
Jeff Bricker some of what you’re saying is true, but not about the oline. He barely got touched in the sf playoff game. He was seeing ghosts bc he is not good enough. If he were we would have seen it by now.
One of the few comments on this thread that isn’t trash. I don’t think he’s just an elite O-line away, though, Jeff. Be honest, now. If he had the #1 O-line in the league, do you think he’s in a Super Bowl? I don’t. The dropoff from Frederick to Biadasz has been significant and overlooked by the media, I grant you that (and Tyron of course isn’t what he once was). But even with Frederick and elite talent around him when he was younger and faster, Dak didn’t get the job done. He’s a middle-of-the-league QB.
Long time Cowboys fans, like myself and others, may be spoiled by the great past success our team has had. We may have higher expectations than some younger fans may have. If padded stats and above .500 records are good enough for some, that’s fine. Long time PATIENT fans want more.
Some fans like to constantly make excuses for the inability of the QB1 to live up to his second highest ever NFL at the time contract he greedily extracted from the FO. That contract hurt the teams ability to pay other players on the team and to aquire free agents, etc.
So they cherry pick obscure stats and bring up supporting cast deficiencies and injuries that EVERY OTHER team gets. Yet couple years back he had a superior WR group in Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, Ced Wilson PLUS the safety blanket TE D Schultz. and TP and EE. Other teams wish they had that firepower.
Bottom line, 2 first round PS wins in 7 years, with at times, the BEST RUNNING BACK IN THE NFL, BEST O-LINE IN THE NFL, All Pro WR, All Pro TE, etc. Being the “leader” of the team, comes with added DESERVED criticism if the team doesn’t get to the BIGGER GAMES especially when you got the BIG MONEY CONTRACT. FO is partly to blame for this situation as they never gave QB1 any REAL COMPETITION. Competition makes a team stronger. Even the BEST QBs (think Joe Montana for one) where given REAL competition.
This coming year should decide a lot for the future of the HC and maybe even QB1 (who appears to hit his ceiling) on the Dallas Cowboys. Time will tell.
BTW, I don’t need to “reassess” anything on this player. The sample size is way big enough.
27 years and counting.
Please he sucks what haters that’s coming from a Dallas fan haters that’s funny
They need to end this Dak experiment, just like they ended the Romo experiment. They need to stop tying to find a diamond in the rough and spend a first round pick on a true franchise qb.
Gary Thomas the biggest problem is that we are already paying for a franchise QB. I believe his contractual demands are one of the biggest problems with his like ability. My 2 cents. He’s a good QB. Being paid franchise QB money.
Keith Breeding he isn’t being paid franchise QB money ..I bet you and this other guy think ” he’s a $40 mil a year QB “…. HE’S NOT.. that’s his contract value not guaranteed money and here’s his cap hits…17 mil…19 mil…and now 27… Where’s the 40 mil ?????
Seriously? He is being paid franchise money! He will receive every Penney of that contract from Jerry. They paid him massive bonuses! And He ain’t worth 17M!
What’s he done for Dallas? Conference championship appearance, Super Bowl appearance? Interceptions that’s what he’s done for Dallas and talk jerry into trading Amari Cooper.
dak sux
Way too inconsistent for this cap space he takes up!!! Chokes the chicken when it matters the most, and it will only spiral out even more this season with a more competitive division. You can get someone else to do the same thing Prescott does in his dink & dunk 5 yard route offense for a lot cheaper! The back up QB was able to run that offense better than the starting QB with that style last year against quality opponents. I’m not sure we win those games with Prescott as the QB? Just to inconsistent week to week!!!
No he needs to do his job…
❤️ I love Dak!
What are we taking for granted? What has he really done?
Daks got to win and be his best in Post season. 8 years in, it’s time
Ungrateful fans pay his salary
Can’t have only the glory praise, got to take the criticism too!! SuperBowl forgives alot of sins!!!
Take him

Media:
Some of these guys don’t remember Quincy Carter
Jim Belk But he was (going to be) as good as Troy Aikman. Jerry said so!
When he does something, let me know. Lol
Dak Prescott is mediocre period
Why???? He can’t outplay rookie quarterbacks.
I would be interested to learn what he’s done for Dallas?
As I have watched hundreds of Cowboys games I have a good comparision. This includes a couple of live Super Bowl visits including their last win.
Some call it hate, I call it facts: he has done nothing. He is just not a good or great QB and surely no franchise QB. He had his fair share of decent games but the moment he snaps the ball I get really nervous as you never know what’s going to happen next. Most likely he flushes out of the pocket or throws an ever so slowly sailing ball to the sideline for 2 yds gain.
He needs to go. And please take Trevon Diggs with you as I’m tired of those long pass completions against the defense. He is very, very overrated. I think a lot of offense coordinators of opposing teams will agree with me.
That’s true, I remember Quincy Carter lol
