Still too early to call Dak a fraud?

[Taddy Mason]

Skip Bayless gets even better..... I love watching this guy. He just compared Dak Prescott to Troy Aikman.....LMAO

 

[Dolemite censored]

Dak won ROY.

So did RGIII.

I agree. I think what Cousins has is a higher ceiling. He is finally on a team where he is the guy for the forseeable future. Getting all the snaps. He was screwed a bit in Washington. I would feel safe saying he'll be a top 7 QB for the next few years. I really don't know what Dak is. He is trending the wrong way. It's not all his fault, but I think that first season was an exception and not really who he is at QB.

MIN overpaid for Cousins imo, but just about every big FA is overpaid.

He's Matt Ryan, Tony Romo w/ less credentials. He's got the game to put up good stats year after year, but when crunch time comes in the big games...they probably will come up short.

Dak is trending the wrong direction, but none of his weapons aside from Zeke is anybody that you need to game plan for...you take a QB with some limitations, and give him mediocre weapons, the results are probably going to look similar to DAL 3 games in.

Kinda feel bad for Dak.


That offense has one skill position player that would be on the roster of most teams.

Dak won ROY. He’s no fluke

Once that Oline gets healthy, watch out

Right now based on a big enough sample size Dak is not a franchise QB. I do agree that he has proven that he can run and offense and be effective with help. I am beginning to wonder if he needs elite talent around him or can he get it done with just good players.

If he keeps playing like this he may get a contract for backup money. Right now he is not worth $20+ mil a year.

Anybody trying to make Dak out to be anymore than a serviceable QB (even in his best season) is really reaching. They had the big OL, rookie stud RB and a QB that played mistake free ball. He wasn't asked to throw it 40 times to win games. This in bold is really all we have to go off at this point.

I think DAL knows that Dak can't carry the team, but Romo couldn't carry the team they have right now.

Where I agree with you 100%...regardless of the roster, if Dak doesn't pick up his game, he's going to be looking at a back up deal after his rookie contract expires.

 

[Thruthefog]

Dak is a poor man's Tyrod Taylor.

 

[megalodon30]

Paxton Lynch is still available.

 

[PhillyGreen]

Love Troy's response..... In all seriousness.... Ryan Fitzmagic probably is not even worthy to carry Aikman's clipboard.

RGIII won rookie of the year too, right?

 

[PhillyGreen]

RGIII won rookie of the year too, right?

Yup......he had a superb rookie season. The best ever IIRC until Dak's rookie season.

 

[shopson67]

Scales is all messed up...I still can't get over the Garropollo and Cousins deals

Especially if Cousins comes out and stinks it up like this weekend. Can't tell me that Vikes team wasn't looking ahead to Thursday.

MIN overpaid for Cousins imo, but just about every big FA is overpaid.

I think most would agree. Same with Detroit and Stafford. SF and Garappolo. Raiders and Carr. Maybe even Atlanta with Ryan. It's odd because in the NFL, QB is unique because pay doesn't equal what the player is worth. There are too few high quality QB's. Teams just don't want to miss out. Funny thing is that it is very rare for a Superbowl winning team to be paying top 10 money for a QB.

RGIII won rookie of the year too, right?

...and Eddie Lacy, Sam Bradford, Percy Harvin, Vince Young, etc.

Called him a fraud in his first year and was told by various Cowboys fans on this forum that: "you are jealous" despite us having RW so I have no clue wtf that was about.

Regardless, the reason I called him a bust is his mechanics, arm strength, and ability to recognize defenses. Dak's footwork is absolutely horrid and his stutter step could probably put Prabhu Deva out of commission. He cannot throw out routes or anything downfield to save his life, and routinely fails to recognize blitzes and adapt.

Dak profited off a top 5 RB draft pick and an offensive line that my slow white (yes I went racial) ass could average 1.9 yards behind in the NFL.

Basically everything a QB needs to be effective.

That's some funny shit.

...and supposedly an all-time OL. Not gonna cry for him.

You're misreading his intent. He was criticizing Dak's lack of arm strength, shaky mechanics, and inability to recognize defenses (as most were as he exited college).

 

[The Derski]

Love Troy's response..... In all seriousness.... Ryan Fitzmagic probably is not even worthy to carry Aikman's clipboard.

Still, 16 more TDs in 44 less games? Wow.

Oh. I got it. That is why it was funny.

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Nope. Actually it's far too late. It was apparent when Zeke was suspended.
