@@freeweights101 The fact that Dak threw the most INTs this season, despite missing multiple weeks says a lot. They have an elite defense, and a great run game, yet Dak, a supposed "elite" QB comes back and throws the most picks in the league. Dak has been and still is overrated. He has good games, but he also can lose you games all by himself. Not saying he is the only problem holding them back, but Dallas will never go to nor win a Super Bowl with Dak at the helm. Dallas needs a solid QB who can protect the ball, and make a few good passes when they need them too, outside that keep running the ball and having a stout defense. The fact Dallas nearly beat the Eagles with Cooper Rush proves this (Rush is by no means the guy for the job, but even with a backup QB Dallas almost beat the top NFC team).
As a cowboys fan I remember being a 5-11 team and 8-8 for years and years..now there is Super Bowl expectations and multiple 12 and 13 win seasons..there isn’t many qbs out there that can qb this cowboys team
Bruh how much more does Dak need to get the job done. Dak can't get the job done and the cowboys want to extend him?? Ok Jerry, you'll never see that championship you so lust for if you do dumb decisions like that. Keep a guy that can't pull it out
@@carlosandes7169 he needed a #2 receiver thought Michael Gallup was the guy I even said possibly #1 but this year he was not up to par. But idk I think no one is destined to win in Dallas with Jerry alive.
Dak’s been the quarterback for 7 years and has routinely shown that he isn’t the guy. He started off very promising and was ascending but has already peaked and his now regressing. He’s had weapons, he’s had chances. It’s time to restart the clock and rebuild with our young pieces. Go get a young QB and see what he can do.
@@briteslider lol what has Dak shown you for you to be so adamant that he’s an elite quarterback? He isn’t god awful but he isn’t the guy to lift you up and take you to a Super Bowl. Dak is an okay to good quarterback depending on the day, and that isn’t good enough. Even if he were to make it to a Super Bowl is he beating Joe Burrow, Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, maybe Rodgers if he goes to the AFC, Lamar Jackson, etc. head to head? No. He couldn’t beat Brock Purdy.
@@davidfulton1630 Dak Would have been cut by his second or third season under Jimmy Johnson. There's no way he could play for JJ. Yeah I agree, seven seasons later people still making excuses excuses for him as if he's a rookie
Dak averaged 30 points a game quick to speak on black quarterbacks because they think Stephen A is the leader of black men don't y'all see hie sell out Josh Allen suck it's receiver wants out Derek Carr suck he had a top receiver and top running back only Euros is good when they make the playoffs but when black people make the playoffs they're no good even a Super Bowl they still be trying to put Josh Allen and Joe burrow on Patrick Mahomes level it's a DOUBLE STANDARD AT QUARTERBACK
Dak is not it . Does anyone really think that Dak will take them to the Super Bowl? If not , your time is being wasted. It’s easy to have a winning record when you play the giants and commanders twice a year . Philly has been good but they haven’t always been. They had amari and didn’t do anything . The nfc east is just getting harder. They need a star rookie qb in Dallas. A Herbert , burrow , Trevor Lawrence. I know it’s hard to come by but it’s not Dak
Actually, I think Dak has a shot. There’s a paucity of good QBs in the NFC. All the great QBs are in the AFC, so I believe Dak has a legitimate chance to at least get to a Super Bowl. Winning one is another matter.
The Dallas Cowboys have signed 55-year old basketball point guard Stephen A. Smith, out of Winston-Salem, to a one-year deal. "He'll be the savior of our franchise" Jerry Jones added. Smith will join them Cowboys as the starting QB.
If extending him means we can trade or cut bait asap then sure. Dak is way way too inconsistent for any championship run. He can't even be a game manager
100% right, you don;t reward failure. Draft a QB like your life depended on it Jerry. Dak is done. But Jerry is the fool that gave Dak and Zeke thier over priced contracts in the 1st place.
What's really funny is all the teams that Dallas plays is happy about them keeping Dak cause they know they are going to be inconsistent next year because of Dak.
I am trading Dak for anything I can get in the off season. Dak is the reason this team could not reach the NFC Championship game. I do believe in the time we saw Copper run this offense that he could have driven the bus to the beat the 49’ers. Dak drove the bus off the cliff.
The talent and coaching the Cowboys had in the 90s SB run were a once in a lifetime event. It was first since 49ers in the 80s and the Steelers in the 70s. Each of those teams had at least 7 players to go to the Hall of Fame. That's like catching lightning in a bottle. That will probably never happen again.
Now the question is, can Dak still live up to the expectations? Whenever the moment is too big for him, he tends to choke and can’t make huge play. We see that in the playoffs. Adding to the fact he turns over the football at least once every game and lead the league this season.
Michael Irving and the Cowboys are the physical embodiment of doing the same thing over and over again yet expecting a different result. I can see where the line gets blurred in their mind because you want to have persistence, loyalty, tenacity; but those attributes can be easily misplaced when chasing an elusive goal.
It's amazing they talk about Dak when the media know Justin Herbert and Josh Allen the better quarterbacks lost the same weekend but no media coverage on them
If Dak had the raw talent of a Herbert or an Allen he wouldn't be discussed like this. Dak makes for an intriguing discussion because some people think he's good and others think he's trash (or at least overpaid), and this debate puts the Cowboys in a constant conundrum
I’m a lifer Cowboys fan but Dak and Tony have to tears of my life!!!! Jerry hasn’t won nor even a conference game home or away since Jimmy’s team faded away!!!! Jimmy could’ve have win at least 4-5 in a row and could’ve been the greatest team ever!!!! But that team is a top 3 team ever offense and defense!!!!
Fun fact Tony wasn’t the reason for a lot of our loses maybe two but the rest was on the defense at the time Tony romo is so much better Tony with this team can go to the Super Bowl
The problem with Dak is that he's gotten comfortable. There really hasn't been anybody to challenge for his spot. That needs to happen in order to put a fire up under him. He's about to be in his last year of his contract, he keeps screaming that he wants more money, but you need money to build a better line. So either you suck it up and take a lower pay so they can bring in a better offensive line to give the cowboys a chance to actually win a championship, or you get your money and you continue to be mediocre. It's not just about Dak Prescott. It's about an entire team.
What do you mean are offense of line is great kinda alright on lg other than that we good we just got injured on the line last few games dak just mest up that game I really believe cooper rush could of won that game dak is our problem we will never win anything with him
Oh, no no no. The Yak deserves at least an 11 year extension. As an Eagles fan, I greatly enjoy the Yak’s play. He is EXACTLY where he should be. Long live the Yak! Long live Jerry Jones!
Dallas is the only franchise I can think of that directly traded with their division rivals making them stronger (Devontae Smith). Crazy how nobody talks about that 😆😆
Jalen Hurts already has more playoff wins than Mike Vick,and Cunningham and tied Dark @24 so it isn't easy!! But Dak has had good teams and weapons!! Maybe next year!!
Justin Herbert is up for an extension dude just lost in outstanding fashion after not making the playoffs but of course the media choses to ignore Herbert to kill the black QB
For the people who wanna get technical about the time frame 7 years is still more than enough time to lose your job as the starting quarterback…he’s shown you enough to know they need to draft new quarterback ASAP and start developing him
I am enjoying you all from St. Lucia in the Caribbean. I just want to see the Cowboys win. Michael Irvin set the standard for us but with all the good talent afterwards what happened?
The reality of it is there have been worse QBs than Dak Prescott to make it to the Super Bowl.Who is out there available, better than Dak Prescott. Lamar Jackson maybe but he doesn't throw the ball down field as good.If you want to stop Dak Prescott from throwing interceptions,run the ball more effective have receiver's that can come back to the 🏈
There's a reason Dakota was a 4th rd pick. Cowboys O line tyron, Frederick n Martin well past their prime pollard n Schultz leaving in FA team is tied dwn to a bloated dak n zeke contracts if dal was smart they'd start trading vets fr draft capital to hv any chance of challenging eagles years to come.
Michael Irving sounds like a 90s WWF star giving a backstage interview every time he speaks 😂😂😂
