Do you care about people doubting you?

"No, not at all. People have always doubted me"

When the Cowboys drafted you, do you remember the first conversation you had with Jerry Jones?

"It was more just thank you for the opportunity"

Did it frustrated you watching 7 or 8 guys get drafted before you?

"Yeah, of course, it motivates me. I want to prove those guys wrong"

Have you ever honestly felt nervous so far this year?

"no, not really. I just go out there and try to plan and reaact. Coach calls plays that helps me get into a conformt zone"

What is your preparation like? What do you do today and tomorrow?

"I'll relax a little bit. I'll go to watch film with QB coach. Today is usually just a weight room and film room"

How many sets or plays do you have going into a game compared to college?

"It's very comparable to what we did in college. I was in control of the offense at the line of scrimmage the line calls and everything. So that help prepare me for the NFL" (hmm..)

Has Tony Romo helped at all?

"He's helped and helped me figure it out. He's encouraging on the sidelines. He points out tendencies on the sidelines quite a bit."

Most of America wants Dak Prescott to remain the QB, where do you land?

"I'm just trying to get my team in the best position to win.."

"I was a doubter, I've been proven wrong. He sounds like Russell Wilson and Tom Brady to me. You have to love everything you hear." - Cowherd

"One thing I noticed when i watched him at Mississippi State is HE HAD A TERRIBLE OFFENSIVE LINE" - Cowherd. Hahahaha can't believe he said that.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

Wow. Surprised he admitted he was wrong.

DAMN YOU HEVESY!!!

 

[57stratdawg]

He brought up a good point, says Aikman and Staubach were out this morning doing interviews saying you can't bench Prescott at this point.

Jerry wouldn't let that fly if the plan was to go back to Romo.

 

[T-TownDawgg]

It's official. Dak Prescott is the most underpaid human in sports.
Offensive Coach at MSU for two years.
$0.00.
Best start in years, and now the face of the most valuable franchise in all of sports.
$500,000.00 per year.

I project Dan Mullen to earn over a million dollars per win this season.

 

[patdog]

Rappaport reported yesterday the Cowboys are expected to delay Romo's return "until he's 1,000% healthy." In other words, they'll never officially say Dak's taken over the job, but in the real world, it's his at least until he falters.

 

[Wizard.sixpack]

Hevesy is the difference in us being like we are or taking it to the next level. I can't believe Mullen can't see that.

 

[Shamoan]

hev is taking out a hit on cowherd as we speak. that kind of talk must be silenced.

 

[thf24]

Hevesy is the difference in us being like we are or taking it to the next level. I can't believe Mullen can't see that.

It goes to show the power of personal relationships. Mullen is allowing a single friendship to not only impede the advancement he's looking for but also jeopardize the job he already has, and he may not even realize it.

There's more to it than that though if the rumor the two of them designed our complicated blocking scheme from the ground up is true. If so, it may not be as simple as booting Hev and plugging another OL coach in. My argument to that though is why is Dan committing overkill by implementing an unnecessarily complicated offense at the college level?

"One thing I noticed when i watched him at Mississippi State is HE HAD A TERRIBLE OFFENSIVE LINE" - Cowherd. Hahahaha can't believe he said that.

Amazing - cowherd made a factually correct statement... I guess even he can't BS about our o-line.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Dak Prescott's 4 year contract is worth $2.7 million. Mullen has already made that and then some since Prescott played his last game for State.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

I don't think Hev is great, but we've had a few OL under him including 3 on NFL rosters off the 2014 team.

It's talent. You can't recruit 2 and 3 stars and expect them to beat 4 and 5 stars every week. Just won't work. Tell me another SEC team who's done it. You won't find one.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

Those of us who want Hevesy out or moved to another position should welcome these comments with open arms. When the media starts to join the fans on a particular subject, things have a much greater chance of happening.

Let's hope the "lack of Oline" talk continues to gain ground.

To really see the pay disparity, look at his running back Elliot. His signing bonus was was around 6 times what Dak will make over his 4 year contract. This doesn't include his actual salary on top of that.

It's a damn shame it happened this way but I'm rooting for Dak to be able to cash in big time with endorsements in the spring.

[WayboDawg]

But frankly who would have ever guessed when his contract was signed that he would be the starting QB for the opening half of the season. Much less have the kind of season he is having. I guess its no different than a team signing JeMarcus Russell to a $100 million dollar contract only to get diddly out of him his whole NFL career. I think every rookie player should have a Superbowl or NFL MVP clause in his contract somewhere though that says if you achieve either one of those by some miracle then you get a big bonus at the end of the year no matter what your original contract is.

If Dak can keep it up Dallas will have to come off HUGE money in 4 years. I think there's a clause in the CBA that lets a team reward rookies that perform above their draft level but I could be wrong.

 

[aTotal360]

Yeah. I'm refraining from feeling sorry for Dak's financial plight. I think he'll be ok.

 

[T-TownDawgg]

Yes, he will. Already is. Half a million per year is life changing. Just frustrating to see so many others who work less and contribute little making eight figures compared to a guy who has worked hard everywhere he has been, with no ego. Dak is the blue collar, unsung hero of football to me.

 

[coach66]

If Dak keeps his performance where it is I would imagine Dallas will do some

things to show their appreciation and motivate him to do even better over the next three years. Good business.

 

[StillTbonewannabe]

It wouldn't surprise me if Jerry Jones doesn't help him get some really good endorsement deals in the off season.

 

[campshelbydog842003]

Can Dak not renegotiate his contract after this season? What's the rule there?

Damn that pisses me off. What could've been....with just a little more emphasis on fielding a competent OL.

Check some of these out.

Guys standing straight up and allowing opposing DL to have leverage for free. Guys letting their assignment run past them while they try to engage someone else's. Guys never laying a hand on a defender the whole play while the ball carrier gets tackled for a loss. None of these are talent issues; they're coaching issues. Pure and simple. You can't beat everyone without top talent, but you can lose to anyone with poor coaching. You're right that it hasn't always been this way under Hev; he's always been a lousy recruiter, but he was a serviceable coach up through 2013-2014. Not sure what changed, but now he's a clear liability in both recruiting and coaching. Something has to give there if Mullen ends up staying and wants to be successful.

 

[MaroonNation]

Hev cost Dak the Heisman. It is very obvious he was the best QB in the country in 2014. If he had a half-*** prudent o line against Alabama then it would have been his.
