QB Dak Prescott, DAL (2 Viewers)

If Dak stays at this level of play, he will be considered for MVP this year. He already has established an argument as the best QB in the NFC, although the road gets tougher from here on so he will have to continue to prove it. Lots of Dallas haters are hiding now but will be out in full force if he stumbles. I’m cautiously optimistic, as he could derail at anytime.

Which is exactly why we shouldn't talk MVP until the season is over. I like Dak, but he seems to be a front runner... beat up on weak teams, come up short against good ones.

No need to argue over it though... that's what playoffs are for.
 
Best thing about Dak is that fantasy playoff schedule.

Week 15. At Buffalo
Week 16. Miami
Week 17. Detroit at home.

Those are all offenses when your up 14 late in 2nd half your still thinking it's not out of reach for team to come back. Dak will throw. I can see him having 300 yards passing in each of those games forever building positive memories for happy fantasy owners.
 
I read a stat a while back that Dak lights it up on a regular when the team comes out of the bye week , and he was on the WW during the Cowboys bye so i grabbed him (i already had Tua as my starter ) and i have started him every week since . Sometimes those stats actually mean something as its paying off big time.
 
If you hear Daks post game pressers he always recognizes his mistakes, even in a huge day like yesterday. Four TDs, no picks and the win was a perfect day to most, but he had a couple of over throws he wants back. He knows when he misses and addresses it. Daks a heck of a leader and never cries or makes excuses. But then again the Walter Payton Man of the Year winners usually share that character trait.
 
Whatever award he gets, he sets the next QB contract record.

He has 62 mill cap hit next year, and a no tag clause. Dallas can pay top dollar, or let him leave for free.

Last year's turnovers are forgotten, and now he's getting top dollar

There is some truth to this—but it’s also not a complete picture. Against the Eagles—he threw for something like 370 yards, 3 tds, and no ints. He was a toe out of a bounds on a qb scramble away from winning that game for the Cowboys. I just think that his mistakes and poor games get so magnified and are under so much scrutiny that people tend to overlook when he’s playing great. The reputation that you just mentioned could easily get applied to Josh Allen (especially as of late)—but people tend to overlook his poor play and focus on his excellence. Allen has led the league in int’s by a large margin since he was drafted—yet only die hard football fans seem to be aware or accept that he’s a turnover machine.
 
Cowboys are 5-0 at home outscoring their opponents 205 - 60 in those games. They've had next to no running game most of the season, an average tight end, and no WR threat outside CD. Haters can hate, but Dak when considering circumstances as well, Dak looks to be the QB playing the best football so far this season. Stroud comes close considering he's doing what he's doing as a rookie, but I'd still say it's Dak. It'll probably take week 14 against the Eagles for him to quiet the doubters though.

Dak has done what he’s always done- play brilliantly against average to below average teams. Conversely, when the Cowboys play good teams late in the year, he usually throws a bad pick and the Cowboys lose.

Dallas, as they often do, will again lose against the Eagles.

Until he does it in a big spot, late in the season against a good team, the narrative will remain unchanged- Dallas is a stat compliling paper champion, great for fantasy but only a second tier real football team.

It pains me to say it, but it’s true.

He’s a great guy and a role model for kids. I like him very much as a person but he’s not a Super Bowl QB.
 
I do love the confidence and execution as of late. I still need to see him beat a top tier team in the playoffs and get to an NFC championship game at least.

You don’t know that. He hasn’t retired and football is a team game. I don’t know why people continue with this.
 
For those of you that own Dak you are welcome. I traded him in a SF dynasty league right before his torrid streak. I had Stroud, Lamar, and Kyler and really needed help in a couple other places and I was sick of the underperforming.
 
Their defense needs to play a lot better than they just did against the Seahawks, but if they do, and Dak plays like he did, they can definitely beat the Eagles. I don't know why, but I'm kinda rooting for it too.

The typical Dallas Cowboys playoff team is usually let down by the Defense. The quarterback will put up 30+ points, but because the Defense let them down, The QB gets painted into a corner to make a miraculous come back in the hardest conditions possible.

I don't really know where your confidence in the Eagles came from. Dallas dog-walked the Eagles in every statistical category their first head to head this year. Just came a few yards shy. As a Cowboys fan, I am not really that scared of the Eagles. I think they are a good team, but I don't see anything Dallas does that they can't do against the Eagles.

They've also got 8 of their 10 wins by 7 or less points. Not taking away anything from the Eagles, they are closing games and a win is a win. But they certainly aren't dominating teams. Week 14 will be fun. Hopefully the refs don't get overly involved.

It’s simple- the Eagles find ways to win close games against good teams, the Cowboys find ways to lose games to good teams.

Stats are for fantasy football. Wins are for actual football. Until the Cowboys win a close game, late in the season, against a good team, the narrative remains the same for Dallas: great stat compilers that make fantasy football managers happy but leave Cowboys fans, like myself, continually disappointed.

The Cowboys really have the worst fans. They’re either front running shmucks or Randy Quade from the Major League movies.

If Dak wins one the latter is not invited to the party.

Those of us that are fans, and are skeptical due to poor performances in measuring stick games, are not bad fans.

I’d love to see Dak get his championship, but every indicator for that accomplishment, rationally speaking, based upon performance in these big game situations, does not trend well.
 
Dak leads the league in passing tds so thats a good thing. One more game played then a bunch, but only Tua and Mahomes could realistically catch him. Tua would need 4 Sunday to tie and Mahomes would need 5.

I’m not a Dak hater. I like him and respect him a great deal. He’s a very good NFL QB, but not a great one. Great ones lead their teams to big wins in tough spots late in the season. Dak’s record in these spots is demonstrably sub-average. That’s just a fact. I’ll be the first to give him his just desserts if this changes, but nothing has really changed: he puts up video game numbers against bad and average teams. He throws bad picks and struggles against good teams in big games. What good team has Dallas beat? If Seattle is the apex of this conversation, that’s a pretty low bar.

You didn't like Romo either I assume, since his defense was a siv and couldn't stop a peewee football team. That's on Tony. Dak played pretty poorly against the 49ers, the last couple years but you can't just hang that on Dak.

Realistically, we don't match-up against the 49ers very well, who the hell does? They have a sharp rookie QB, best RB in football, stud playmaker at WR/TE, a great coach and a great defense. That doesn't mean Dak isn't good enough to win a SuperBowl it's more a credit to San Francisco.

Dak has almost a 69% completion percentage if you take away the 2021 playoffs, where we **** the bed. I think you take that from your QB. I'm not an overly optimistic Cowboys fan. Generally, I stay pretty level-headed and tapered with my expectations. We are as close to the top as anyone in the NFC. December will tell us all we need to know, but if Dak can continue to use his legs and the O-line stays healthy... I think we can hang with anyone.

I have always stood by Dak and don't see any reason to change course. He's just a good dude and I don't know how you can't cheer for someone like him. When he plays his best football, he looks as good as any QB in the league. Ferguson's growth into the offense and the addition (and eventual utilization) of Cooks has been huge. If someone can find Michael Gallup, we might have the best offense Dak has had since becoming a Cowboy.

Cannot wait for next Sunday...

You're in the minority with this opinion. It's hard to believe people have legitimately debated who they'd rather have Daniel Jones or Dak Prescott and it's not even close to anyone who knows football.

Dak is a good QB with the size and ability to be great. I don't really see the trepidation in agreeing with that statement.

Anyone who would take Daniel Jones over Dak is a fool. That’s a completely unserious take.

Dak is good. In fact, I say it in all my posts. But, he’s not great. To be great, you have to elevate your play and win important games late in the season. He’s not done that. He’s either 7 or 8 years into his career.

His best win was beating a lousy TB team in the wild-card round. That’s not much.

Until he actually does it, he’s good, and no more. Putting up huge numbers against average competition doesn’t make anyone great.
 
Once again. As a non cowboys fan. Or a non eagles fans. I think Dak leaped over Hurts in MVP voting. Lots of season left though.

Romo and Dak are actually very similar in that both were statistically strong but unable to win big games.

I liked watching both. Both are good. Neither is great.

Because this is 8th year and the Cowboys have 2 playoff wins. Not even a conference championship appearance, yet people are ready to give him a gold jacket.

He’s really good but the Cowboys, yet again, will not make even the conference title game. At best, they’re the third best team in the conference.
 
So, playoff wins - that is how we judge Quarterbacks. Got it, I won't bring up Dak Prescott having an amazing year and I won't dare mention that bum CJ Stroud. Not until they both have a Conference Championship under their belt.

That is seriously ludicrous. It's a team sport. Dak lost to the Packers his rookie year, where he literally put up the same stats (if not better) than Aaron Rodgers. Does Rogers suck? The defense gave up a 36 yard, insanely well-thrown ball from Rodgers to Jared Cook to setup a game-winning FG. Pretty good game, you should have watched. 2019, Dallas Cowboys lost to the Rams. Our defense allowed 123 yards to CJ Anderson. Our defense recorded 0 sacks, 2 tackles for loss and 0 interceptions. It probably wasn't Dak's best game but the entire team sucked... I've already acknowledged San Francisco is the better football team and those are his only 2 other losses.

Based on the SF team I saw this weekend... I don't think Dallas is as good as San Francisco but that doesn't discredit the level of play Dak is exuding. Matthew Stafford was a garbage QB until he got traded to the Rams, I guess. You can't judge Football Players the same way you judge golfers. There are 21 other players out there that can bungle the game up too.

CJ Stroud is in his first year, Dak his 8th. They are non-comparable. Stroud hasn’t even had a chance to participate in a playoff game- Dak has had several, sporting a 2-4 record, not all his fault, but it is irrefutable that he’s made mistakes that great qbs do not.

He’s a good Qb, top 10, for sure. How many great QBs have never even made it to a conference title game, let alone a Super Bowl? You cannot be considered great unless you figure out a way to win big games.

So, playoff wins - that is how we judge Quarterbacks.

One of Tom Brady's best post-season performances was against the Eagles when NE lost the SB. 505 yards, 3 TD, no picks, and a 115 rating. But they lost. The Pats won 11 playoff games when Brady had a passer rating below 80. His defenses also had 24 playoff games allowing 20 points or less. But no one remembers that and frankly no one cares.

Football is a team sport, but some how we have (d)evolved to pinning wins and losses on a team's QB. Dak has had a mixed bag of performances in his 6 post season outings. It takes 3 or 4 wins to take home a ring. It's rare that a QB can carry a team to 4 straight wins. That's not a Prescott thing . . . that's a league wide thing. It takes a team effort to win a title. Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it can't happen.
