It seems like Dak has the leadership qualities you want in a franchise qb. He has better skills than anyone will give him credit for, but he’s inconsistent as hell. We definitely don’t know if he is, or isn’t a franchise qb though. Not yet, depending on your definition of a franchise qb.

I agree with this. He's just now starting to take the reins of what would be Dak's team. The offense could still use more tweaks, and a TE that is a real offensive weapon would really help, as well as a stable offensive line.

Pretty good discussion about a Dak extension.  

It's all moot because he's gonna get extended.  

Sturm makes a great argument for extending him and calls him a B+ QB.  

Take a listen.  Sturms the best imo

Dak is definitely B+. If Linehan can figure out how to better utilize his legs, Dak will be performing at an A level. If no opposing coach can figure out how to counter that, and if the D can continue to perform at last Thursday's level, we could be very dangerous.

 

Zeke is gonna Zeke. I think Prescott and Linehan are the keys to taking this team to the next level. It could feasibly happen this year.

[Patrick Bateman 3903]

I'd like to see Dak in a different system.... one with more spread principles and creativity.  Again, I think the scheme we use sucks.

 

[futureman 22414]

dak isn’t a B+ quarterback.  fwiw sturm said he was at least a B- quarterback by any metric available, not necessarily B+.  

with a B+ quarterback this offense scores more points and we win more games.  when mike white is named the backup next year the picture will become clearer for more of you.  ginger will worm him into the game at opportune times early in the season and he’ll kill it and eventually it will become obvious and white will be named the guy.  he’s perfect for the offense and will excel in the screen game and on short passes with zeke but he’s also got a cannon to hit amari downfield.  it’s going to happen and I want this put on record for eternity.

Fuck you.   We drafted him so we didn’t have to compete with anyone to sign him in FA.   He was a 5th round throwaway pick.  A lotto ticket.   He’s not very good at all.

This.  I think Dak has great potential, just don’t believe he’s had the coaching to reach it yet.  Not going to happen apparently but a Kliff K type OC could do wonders for DP.  

[Irish Wrist Watch 1349]

Wentz went 19 of 33, 156 yds with 3 interceptions against the Saints. Dak 24 of 28, 250 yards - no picks. Those are some great fucking numbers against one of the top two or three teams in the league. Does anyone think the difference was Linehan and Garrett? Dak missed one big pass that might well have been the fault of a young receiver.

Dak is B+ to A, in my book. Looking forward to Sunday afternoon. Should be one helluva battle.

Priority number 1 for Jerry this off-season (assuming JG stays) is to find an OC to better maximize Dak.*

I would always draft a QB every two or three years regardless of situation. If there's a guy in the second, third, fourth round that looks like he could be something, take him. Maybe he doesn't have elite skills, but he's got a real knack, quick release and brains, which is what usually makes the real difference. He can always be a backup or trade bait, like Garapolo. Or he can beat out your guy. Or he could be Dak Prescott. For the investment he didn't turn out to be so bad.

This was the long-time Packers philosophy and Belichick has even done it some with the Pats. Take a guy every draft for one of the reasons you state on the off chance he actually turns out to be a great find. Play him during the preseason and if he plays well against second/third-teamers so opposing GM might foolishly give you a better draft pick than you used to draft the guy in the first place.

All of this.  I was totally against bringing Linehan back last year, and I'll be screaming if they do it again.  I've never been in the "they'll never do anything with Garrett" Crowd, because we've seen signs of things with him.  Yes he can be better.  Yes they can upgrade, but in the end the BIGGEST issue is the OC and playcalling.  Always has been.

 

Get a new guy with fresh ideas and a better system, and this team, especially Dak, takes back.

[Junior Miller 1502]

Garrett's best attribute, by far, is somehow keeping the players from quitting on him. That's even more impressive/discouraging when you factor all of his game day coaching shortcomings and fuckups that still happen regularly. 

That said, he's rebounded yet again and has them playing for the division this weekend. Win and you're almost guaranteed to win the division even if you lost the last 3 games.

Fify.

Keep Kellen in the organization for his potential as a play calling savant down the road (supposedly play design creativity is where he excels), but he has no business being a QB coach at this point in his career.

It was always rumored that Sanchez was a huge help to Dak his first year. I wonder if you can bring him back as a coach or assistant in some capacity.

So an Eagles linebacker comments that Dak is a choker or the Cowboys are chokers. Won't hurt to have a little extra incentive to put the world champs in their place on Sunday. The D needs to put a lot of pressure on Wentz to make sure he doesn't burn us with the long ball.

Has anybody ever accused Garrett of getting his teams TOO hyped up about a game. He undercoaches. He should be called The Undercoach. This is a young team. Something like being called Chokers might be just what they need to stick their fists down the throats of these primadonnas.

Top 10 Cowboys Front Office Decisions Over the Last Four Years

I don’t know why I do this to myself, but I’m starting to become overly confident about today. I just think since cooper and the rest of the WRs fell into their roles, we can manufacture enough offense to beat any team with this defense. Eagles season on the line, backs against the wall, blah blah blah. With the way both teams are currently constructed, we are so much better than them. Take your biggest division rival, the “defending super bowl champs”, and put your foot on their throats today 

[Sgt Hulk 13644]

i have little trust or confidence in the offense,  they are far and away the weak link.   But i cannot beleive I am saying this, but Our defense is going to win it for us. they are going to fuck this fecals team up 

[Vic Mackey 46932]

Taco is a waste.

 

[cmontexas 3250]

Its interesting because Taco's college teammate Jourdan Lewis is in a similar situation down the depth chart but has seemingly handled things the right way, making plays when he gets the opportunities and even getting carved out some offensive snaps fsr

Ginger has no concept of “putting your foot on their throat.” If we win it’ll be close. Like NO where we were crushing them and gave them a good chance to win it in the 4th.

May be time to get Marinelli to try some magic and convert him to 3-tech in the offseason.

[DougO 5239]

Sweeping the fecals after their superbowl season would be as satisfying as winning the division itself. Finish them and do both.

Flush the fecals.

I'm skeptical, though. Too many things going right. Cowboys seem due to Cowboy again.

[Junior Miller 1502]

There's zero excuse to lose this game today. Defense is stacked. eagles defense is wrecked with their secondary being probably the worst in the game at the moment. Winning this game pretty much locks up division. Everything there for the taking against a team you out man and are better than at the moment. 

If they lose this game it's another Garrett failure in a big game they had no excuse to lose.

Same.

Also, anyone else watching the colts/Texans to see who we gotta play next week? Colts look good at halftime.

Oh, and looks like the Giants offense has woken up. Barkley legit looks like a game breaker who could go to the house any time he touches the ball.

Dallas can and should beat both, but it’ll be tougher than we probably think.

[youdunnf'dup 2147]

Yup. I’m seeing how this is trending. Fuck the bs. Win today and leave yourself some wiggle room. Looks like the panthers are about to lose, so that helps either way. Just get them out of the mix with their tie breaker
