Dak Prescott's 39-yard completion to Michael Gallup had a 17.3% completion probability, Dak's most improbable completion this season.

His accuracy this season has seemed light years ahead compared to previous seasons.

Cam Newton is one of the dumbest, IDGAF about his opinion players of all time... I can't believe the amount of screen time these podcasts and media give him. They're game managers, they aren't turning the ball over... that is kinda the point. Nobody should target Cam Newton's career in any statistical category.

Cam Newton is the Jeff George of his era.

They need to win their home games and hope SF gets upset before the NFCCG.

I hope San Fran doesn’t get beat
I hope Dallas wins their home games then goes to San Fran and beats them

I hope they have the antidote for J. Love and those rookie WRs playing with house money.

I called him a fraud a few months ago and got laughed at. Now validated.

Jerry just needs to learn he can’t tell him when the playoffs have started.

Dak is what he is. He's just not a big-moment QB. The crazy thing is, he is going to get a record breaking extension too.

Footballguy Jr.
If I was a Giants, Eagles, or Redskins fan I’d be rooting for him to get that extension.

The only best thing that happened last time is Jerry strung it a long forcing him to overpay at that moment in time. Despites "Dak's dominance of the NFC East" it hasn't really stood in the way of Eagles having playoff success throughout his career. Glad he got his first All Pro though.
Hard to blame Dak for the defensive performance yesterday.
Yea the entire Dallas offense was putrid in the first half,but the defense did nothing to keep the game close.
I'd call it a complete team failure.

I mean I'm with ya. But it was 20-0 before Dak threw his 2nd INT, a pick 6. First one set up a touchdown. So that to me, is 2 touchdowns given to the Packers that you really can't put on Dak. 27 points scored by Green Bay before Dak and Co. even got a score. And iirc, CD had ZERO first half catches. He'll be able to say he had another 3 TD game in the playoffs at least I guess.

Posts like this are very uninformed. The weight of that loss definitely doesn’t Sit on Dak’s shoulders. I can only assume he catches the flak he does because he’s the QB of the Cowboys.

He is tied for the lowest playoff winning % of all time of all QBs with 5+ playoff starts. Its not *entirely* on Dak, but he had a pick 6 and an INT inside his own 20 yard line that directly resulted into 2 scores. The score was 27-0 before the offense got any points.

Yeah, I mean he was awful. Unless you watched only the final quarter in garbage time, I dont know how you come to any other conclusion. He put them in the hole as much as the defense did.

Dak's a really good QB, but yesterday was not his best day. On paper, even in a track meet, that offense should have been able to trade punches and score on GB.
First INT was a great play by the DB, but maybe that ball should have went somewhere else.
Second INT was on Dak and truly felt like the back-breaker.
He should have been picked off a 3rd time just before the half when he threw the ball right into the (stone) hands of GB LB in the end zone.
He was brilliant once GB took their foot off the gas after 3 quarters and some change. The stats look great on paper, but do little to tell the story of what happened to them yesterday. It's actually very similar to what happened to CLE on Saturday... defense got trucked and Flacco helped to drive the nails in.

A large portion of it does. He was awful.

People will point to his stats in this game to support their argument that he is a playoff performer. Everyone who watched that game knows he played terrible, and did nothing when the game was within 3 scores. Impressive stat line, but an abhorrent performance.

2 turnovers in the first half that lead to 14 points fall on who if not the QB? Taylor Swift?
Phil Elliott
Footballguy
Not only two turnovers but bad decision passes.

3rd one dropped in the end zone might’ve been the worst of the 3. He got super lucky on that one.

I think the jury is out there. A lot worse QBs than Dak have gotten to Super Bowls.
If you are arguing Dak won't CARRY a team to a Super Bowl, like a Brady, Manning, or Mahomes, then yes probably not.

Dak did his part, and then some. He's the QB. He looked like a deer in the headlights out there. He was inaccurate as a passer. Not impressed.
Ultimately, it falls on the HC though. The 'Boys were not ready to play.

Dak seems like the exact opposite of Eli Manning to me. I can't remember seeing a QB go from the highs as he rode almost the entirety of the regular season, to looking lost out there like he did in this playoff game. I won't put the entire loss on him, but his play reminded me of when Costner got the yips in tin cup. The look on his face after he threw the first pick just seemed to say "oh no... it's happening again". And IMO he was unable to shake it and then he looked off the rest of the game, missing reads and throws he made with ease all season long. Even some of the sacks he took were plays in the regular season he was avoiding by throwing the ball away. I still think he's a great QB, but he really might just not have that playoff edge QBs like Eli did. Was a real shame as outside SF and Baltimore, I thought Dallas had the next best shot at winning it all this year.
From a fantasy perspective, I could care less though. Hopefully this keeps/drives his price down as people forget fantasy leagues stop well short of the playoffs. He was a steal this year, and I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger on him again next year.

5) Dak will make a costly mistake preventing you from winning a Super Bowl.
He’s a regular season pro bowler.
He is, as evidenced by sub par performances, a 2-5 record, and propensity for turnovers- a playoff fraud.
I think playoff performance sometimes gets over scrutinized. Dak didn't play well Sunday, and hasn't had the best playoff history, but I think its unfair to call him a fraud.
Tom Brady has had a handful of games in the playoffs as bad or worse than what Dak did Sunday, so has Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning, Joe Flacco, Aaron Rodgers, Eli Manning etc.
The playoffs are the best of the best, and sometimes bad games happen for good players, and sometimes great games from mediocre players. In pretty much any case, its rarely fair to put all the weight on the QB, and often the team with the better QB loses.

You still a Dak believer?
He’s been bad in the playoffs, period. He has a 2-5 record as a starter. For someone that has been consistently good during the regular season- the difference is pronounced and very real.
In your second paragraph, all the QBs listed have won a Super Bowl. Dak hasn’t even been to a conference title game.
To your point, the playoffs are the best of the best, and 2-5, coupled with a myriad of mistakes and ill advised picks, make Dak a complete playoff fraud.
The reason I listed those guys was because they'd won a Super Bowl. I was trying to illustrate that there is no magic "plays great in the playoffs" QB. Its mostly just variance, which Dak has been very unlucky with. Would you call Matthew Stafford a fraud? Take away 2021, and he's 0-4 in playoff games. He was 0-3 until 2021, how do we know Dak's best isn't yet to come, this was his best regular season after all. Warren Moon was 3-7 in the playoffs and he's in the HOF.
There was a stretch in Tom Brady's career where he went 4-5. Peyton Manning was 3-6 before his 1st championship. Matt Ryan was 1-4 before his MVP 2016. Josh Allen probably played the best playoff football of any QB in history in the 2021 playoffs and lost.
My point being, yes Dak hasn't had playoff success, but playoff success is not a given for anyone. That's what I meant by the best of the best. I personally think Dallas is making the right decision running it back in 2024. If every team jettisoned their QB for laying an egg in the playoffs, a lot of HOFers would have never been, and a lot of future championships wouldn't have been won.

The key difference is that all of those players have had good to great games too. Dak hasn’t turned it on yet in many chances.
I’m still happy with him as my QB1 in SF but Dallas has to fix something big time.
Summer Wheat

After another playoff flop Cam might be correct on this one. For whatever reasons Dak just not perform well in the big post season games and has not been a difference maker in those games.
