That Dak TD was golden

Aikman
He’s an analyst, who’s job is to provide insight on the game and players. Although this may seem foolish to some of our posters, he gives praise and criticism to all players, especially qb’s. Should the “Golden Boy” reference his own former self, prior to critiquing Dak? It’s amazing how we hear what we want to hear, while going deaf to his praise. You at least recognize Aikmans comments regarding Winston, unlike a lot of other posters.

ssshhhhhh Dak is the greatest QB of all time and we as MSU fans must protect him at all costs
I thought the sack was a coverage sack, didn’t look like anybody was open. He probably should’ve took off with it.
I love Dak but he just missed a throw to a wide open man that an NFL QB should never miss.
I swear NFL officiating is getting as bad as college officiating. Refs just aided that Buc drive with two personal fouls on Dallas that were both totally bogus. Ridiculous.
^^this. Ruining the game. It’s horrible to watch this nonsense. They can’t even play the game anymore.
Correct. Unfortunately a lot of State fans simply refuse to remove the maroon colored glasses when it comes to Dak Prescott. I personally want him to succeed like all State fans, but gotta be realistic. The rest of this season is the most critical window for him to prove that he can get the job done. He ain't all bad but he still takes sacks, holds the ball too long, doesn't see open receivers and has passing inaccuracies....but not all the time
More times than not holding onto the ball too long in that league will not yield the results you are looking for. The elite QB’s have a knack for knowing when to get rid of it. Dak isn’t there yet.
He’s in the HOF as a QB and gets paid handsomely to be an analyst. I don’t know why it’s so hard to understand why he may be critical of poor QB play.

As bad as Winston is, he is still more accurate and is playing better today than Dak. Now, maybe the 10 he is playing with are better than the 10 Dak is playing with but I doubt it. Dallas is NOT a playoff quality team and it is because of their offense and play at QB.
Dak was always a project QB for the NFL but has had to learn on the job. I'll almost guarantee you that NO ONE is probably more critical of Dak than Dak is.
He did not get to study behind a veteran and does not have a particularly good QB coach, but he has shown signs of being capable of the throws and decisions he should make as a top level QB in this league. It's up to him and the Cowboys coachng staff as to whether he will develop into the player we all want him to be.
He also is on the verge of taking his team to their 2nd division title in three years.
Methinks, this non quality playoff team, is going to be in the playoffs?
Playoff? PLAYOFFS?

Aikman at the end of year 3 with Dallas had 31 TD’s and 46 INT’s.... Romo had 2 rushes for -2 yds.....at the same point in his career Dak has 65 Passing TD’s 24 INT’s and 17 rushing TD’s...

Been a many of teams make the NFL playoffs who weren’t playoff quality. But..... there have also been some sucky regular season teams( NY Giants) who made the playoffs and won a Super Bowl. It happens.
I’m not sure if Dak can get the job done or not, but....
He has to have
Pass protection—-this line is suspect and missing several key contributors
More weapons than just cooper
A different OC than Lenahan—he’s got to go

Troy called out Jerry when they were 3-5. Jerry wasn't happy and probably
snapped back. Since the 5-1 turnaround began Troy has overly critical at times.

Too bad all those things probably won't happen at Dallas..be better if he was traded to another team that takes it seriously other than just making money..like actually having pride and willing to put out the bucks to aid his development. Hell, he was thrown in there to begin with before he was ready

Even as a cows fan I’d rather see him succeed than be stuck in this mire with no help. cowboys fans are unrealistic as a whole, and they forget the drew Bledsoe, Quincy carter, chad Hutchison days real quick. they hated romo most of the time because of his 4th qtr failures. They called him a choker 75% of the time.
The two criticisms of Dak I agree with is that he holds the ball too long leading to sacks and two, fumbles. Both can be solved with better protection and better understanding on Daks part. One criticism I have seen that I think is unfair is the missed throws. He may have one or two a game, but you can't watch a game that overthrows don't happen from best to worst qbs in the league. If a pass hits a receiver in the hands, it should be caught. Period. Dallas deserves a decade of Ryan Leaf type qb. If it wasn't for getting dak at a steal in the 4th, they probably never get the players they have to build the defense.
This is just silly. Dude has taken his team to the playoffs in 2 of his first 3 years in the league, achieved numerous franchise records and accolades for young QB’s their first few years in the league, and has done all of it with very little supporting cast or coaching in 2 of those 3 years. Dak may not be a HOFer, and he’s not a perfect QB that dime drops every throw (few are), but he’s easily going to be in the league for 15+ years barring injury, and likely as a starter for that duration. He proved long ago that he can get the job done.
Dak is still a little too careful. The best QBs do take chances and Dak still seems to hold the ball or throw to the checkdown too often. He has improved every year both at MSU and Dallas. I think he will continue to get better. He threw that fade today for a TD, which he has never done well. He just needs to have someone tell him to believe in himself more and take some chances.
6 nfc playoff teams and their qbr/passer rating ranks:
1. Brees 2nd/1st
2. Goff 11th/10th
3. Trubisky 4th/16th
4. Dak 21st/19th
5. Wilson 8th/3rd
6. Cousins 15th/8th
You could make a strong case dak's team took him to the playoffs
Dak is an above average NFL qb. Dallas fans, some MSU fans on here, and one Ole Miss fan in this thread that is pretending to be an MSU fan are 17’ing morons. The guy’s stats in a run first offense are amazing and he has lead his team to a division title 2 of his first 3 years.

Amazing? No bias here.
Which nfc playoff team would trade their qb for dak entering the playoffs?

Yes, his stats in many key areas have been amazing. Some have not been, such as his fumbles and sacks. But go ahead and be the cool, hip MSU fan that is so worried about people thinking he’s a homer that he ***** on a good qb that happens to be the best thing that happened to his university’s football program.
Well there are about 15 to 20 teams that aren’t in the playoffs that should gladly trade for him. I would take him over Chicago, Minnesota, and Baltimore’s qbs of the ones in the playoffs. Would also take him over Wentz if they make it.
His passer rating since not having a go to receiver that is Cole Freaking Beasley is through the roof. It’s amazing how having an actual NFL caliber receiver on your roster helps that out. Redo your numbers for when they added Amari Cooper.
You don’t have to be a blind homer. He obviously has to improve in some areas. Saying that his team carried him to the playoffs is completely ignorant though. He’s not someone holding the team back. His receivers have been complete trash up until Cooper arrived and his oline is completely overrated. He makes mistakes but he is not and has not been anywhere near their main problem on offense.
Well he did play 7 games without an above average receiver. His avg rating is 100.2 (i just averaged the numbers-realize thats probably not the precise calc)with cooper which would place him at 10th among qbs with a material number if throws- in front of goff and trubisky.
I realize doing something over 8 games is easier than over 15 but thats a nice pace. People should also realize that he probably played with the worst wr corps in the nfl the first 7 games. His oline has been pretty meh. Finally aikman said hestersay “despite making the pro bowl tryon smith hasnt had a great year”.
Not arguing he is the worlds greatest qb but the hyper analysis he recieves in incredible. I think eli manning was a pretty damn good qb most of bis career and he never had a passer ratinf as high as dak has now (total season)
