    Hopefully Jerry will take his "Boys" on a cruise on his new 250 million dollar toy. They came farther than many thought.

    Holding on that last LA TD that wasn't called would have forced that into a FG. But the outcome would have been the same. You can't give up 250+ yards on the ground and expect to win.

    I don't know where the Dallas D was tonight, but it wasn't in LA.

    Jon, sad ending for you but a very good season otherwise. Dallas is pretty good

    Cowboys played well on the road against a tough Rams team. Surprised they couldn’t stop the run at all with their front seven. Thought Garrett made some gutsy calls (4th downs & going for 2) that gave the team confidence. Future will be bright if they are able to keep key players, still feel Prescott can improve on accuracy throwing downfield.

    Thanks Mark. If we would have played our normal game we would have won. Run defense was terrible and Prescott was not sharp at all throwing downfield. Hopefully he can continue to improve or we will have to go for that kid from Clemson in the draft in a few years! ;)

    Prescott wasn't the reason they lost that game,I'd put it on the Cowboys defense for giving up 270+ rushing yards,450+ total yards which led to a 36mins to 23 gap in TOP. the Rams shutdown Zeke which made Prescott have to take more chances which led to some bad throws trying to bring them back. The Rams were just a much better team and we saw that on the scoreboard.

    I'd say it was a pretty good season overall for Dallas,their defense made huge strides and the offense clicked once they traded for Cooper. Hopefully they re-sign him then keep adding to their offense. Even Garrett looked like he finally grew a pair with some of his play-calling over the past month. The team looks to be trending up again.

  • DIMEMANDIMEMAN Posts: 22,403 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Erik....I'm not blaming Dak for the loss. It's just that a little more offense would have made up for the horrendous defense. After all .....all those 3 and outs is why the defense was out there so long giving up all those yards. It works both ways. ;)

    That Rams defense is stacked though. Last offseason they went out and added Suh,Talib & Peters to get them over the playoff hump and that is exactly what we saw last night. They're just a much deeper better team than Dallas.
    Some of us had the Rams as the SB favorite going into the season after adding the three above as well as Brandin Cooks and its hard to say they're still not after last night.

  • DIMEMANDIMEMAN Posts: 22,403 ✭✭✭✭✭

    We only lost by 8, which was amazing considering the lack of run defense. One last comment on the 4th and 1......why in the heck do you run Zeke up the middle where Suh and 99 are when Zeke has the speed to bust it around the end with the help of Dak and the option????? Just a thought!

  • JRR300JRR300 Posts: 1,368 ✭✭✭✭

    I'll put my 2 cents in here. Dallas will face a big decision soon. Dak is still playing on his rookie contract, so they only have a small window to decide if he is the guy. Lots of doubt stated in this thread about his throwing accuracy, and the great ones are consistently able to put the ball right in the catchable areas. As just a plain football fan, he hasn't shown me enough of that. QB's must be able to consistently "throw their receivers open" and for my money, I don't think Dak is that guy. Give him the big money and possibly be saddled with a big contract QB that's good but not good enough to win it all. Compared to Mahomes who seems to be able to throw from all angles and be much more accurate, I'm not sure Dak can ever be that guy.

  • erikthredderikthredd Posts: 9,012 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Prescott's 2018 completion percentage was higher than Mahomes,Luck,Brady,Roethlisberger,Wilson,Goff,Rodgers and Mayfield. I think his "accuracy issues" today are more of a result of throwing it 32 times against a really good defense while trying to get his team back in the game with the run game shut down.
    Can he be more accurate? Sure,every QB not named Brees could probably be more accurate but Dallas is definitely going to extend him when his rookie deal is up,they'd be crazy not to. He's finished with a winning record all three years in the league and that was without Zeke for a third of last season's games and having no clear cut #1 WR for a third of this season's games.
    The money isn't going to be an issue when almost every starting QB coming off their rookie deal and re-signs with their team is going to get the going rate for starting QBs going forward. That is just where the NFL is with QB salaries in 2019 whether you're an All-Pro or not. You're getting paid regardless.

  • grote15grote15 Posts: 29,694 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I think virtually everyone (except Eric ;) )would agree that Dallas exceeded expectations this season.

    Down side to that, depending on your viewpoint, isthat Garrett's job is safe.

    It's the zero NFC title game appearances since 1995 that is truly the most embarrassing....especially since they came so close their last three tries to get there.

    As for Tony Romo, you do know there's other guys on the team besides the QB right? Even during their 92/93/95 Super Bowls they were lead by a big THREE (Aikman, Smith, Irvin)...no one single (or married) player can even come close to winning a championship. Just ask Barry Sanders.

    You keep claiming that but the reality is that the Cowboys won as many games as they did because of Romo's play. It didn't translate into postseason success but that was not due to Romo. His 4th quarter passing rating is actually one of the best of all time.

    he only blames romo for negative outcomes no credit is given for the positive. Its the reverse of Steve's Bellichek thing. As pats fans we are supposed to let every dumb thing slide because of past rings B)

    Dime thinks back and can't recall Romo ever winning a single game

    The fact is that Dimeman is basically right about Romo's choking in important situations.

    Yes, Romo put up a career of decent stats, however somebody threw those interceptions, and it wasn't Roger Staubach.

    The QB you have now is worse than Romo so don't expect much going forward either, even though you have one of the best backs in the league.

    I STRONGLY DISAGREE with this. We have a much better chance of winning a big game with Dak than we did with Romo.

    As was explained by Steve Romo had decent career numbers, but choked in big games!

    End of discussion!

For my money, he's just a bit above Alex Smith, a good steady QB but not that special guy.

    I completely agree with that.

    Let's tell it like it is...with a healthy Carson Wentz out there for the Eagles and beating the Cowboys twice, the Cowboys would have went 8-8 this season and not made the playoffs. A side effect of Wentz coming back from an ACL tear and playing well below par, likely helped Jason Garrett keep his job. And with a 10-6 record instead of an 8-8 record, made Prescott appear to be a better QB than he is in reality.

    So that's what Prescott seems to be at this point, a serviceable quarterback who will keep his team competitive enough to maintain around a .500 record, season after season.

    Normally this wouldn't be acceptable to Jerry Jones, but perhaps he's older now and doesn't care as much as he did before. That being said, I do agree that Prescott will "get paid" by Jones because with the lack of good QB talent in the NFL, Jones basically has to pay Prescott and just keep his fingers crossed and hope he improves.

    Where did I say anything remotely like I'd rather have Prescott over any of the other names I mentioned or even hinted it? I pointed out "his accuracy" was on par or better than some of the best QBs in football this season. Its easy to nitpick his pass attempts after a playoff loss where the offense was forced to throw it repeatedly because the run game was nonexistent.

    All I was saying is he's not as bad throwing the ball as some hear make it out to be and,yes, I watched way to many Cowboys games this season after I put my foot in my mouth predicting he'd win 10 games lol.
    I would take him over a fairly large group of other starting QBs though. His contract ends when Brady's does so let Jerry screw this one up so Steve's bae can swoop in and sign him up.

That being said, I do agree that Prescott will "get paid" by Jones because with the lack of good QB talent in the NFL, Jones basically has to pay Prescott and just keep his fingers crossed and hope he improves.

    Lets compare the Almighty Wentz to Prescott. Seeing that both came out of the same draft this should be fairly easy. With some stats the numbers would be a bit skewed with Prescott playing 8 more career games so with stats like career completions,attempts,touchdown passes,interceptions and passing yards we'll go with the percentages rather than the totals to make it fair. The Bold lettering will mark the leader.
    Pass Completions Per Game: Wentz 23.0 - Prescott 20.3
    Pass Attempts Per Game: Wentz 36.0 - Prescott 30.7
    Passing Yards Per Game: Wentz 253 - Prescott 226
    Passing Touchdowns Per Game: Wentz 1.75 - Prescott 1.3
    Interceptions Thrown Per Game: Wentz .70 - Prescott .52
    Career TD%: Wentz 4.8 - Prescott 4.5
    Career INT%: Wentz 1.9 - Prescott 1.7
    Career Completion Percentage: Wentz 63.7 - Prescott 66.1
    Career Yards Per Attempt: Wentz 7.0 - Prescott 7.4
    Career Adjusted Yards Per Attempt: Wentz 7.1 - Prescott 7.5
    Career Yards per Completion: Wentz 11.0 - Prescott 11.2
    Career QB Rating: Wentz 92.5 - Prescott 96.0
    Career Touchdowns to Interceptions Ratio: Wentz 2.5/1 - Prescott 2.6/1
    Career Winning Percentage: Wentz .575 - Prescott .666

    Wentz leads in most per game stats but given the same amount of pass attempts per game Prescott would own even more of this list than he already has.

    If we compared rushing history its Prescott all day as well not to mention he's got 9 rushing TDs for every rushing TD that Wentz has.

    How about durability issue between these two? Wentz has had two of his first three seasons end due to injury while Prescott hasn't missed a single game.

    Playoff history? Wentz hasn't played a single snap even though he owns a SB ring while Prescott is 1-2.

    Prescott has been the better overall Quarterback since entering the NFL and his team didn't need to turn to arguably one of the best backup QBs in NFL history to save their season....twice.

    Prescott's 2018 completion percentage was higher than Mahomes,Luck,Brady,Roethlisberger,Wilson,Goff,Rodgers and Mayfield. I think his "accuracy issues" today are more of a result of throwing it 32 times against a really good defense while trying to get his team back in the game with the run game shut down.
    Can he be more accurate? Sure,every QB not named Brees could probably be more accurate but Dallas is definitely going to extend him when his rookie deal is up,they'd be crazy not to. He's finished with a winning record all three years in the league and that was without Zeke for a third of last season's games and having no clear cut #1 WR for a third of this season's games.
    The money isn't going to be an issue when almost every starting QB coming off their rookie deal and re-signs with their team is going to get the going rate for starting QBs going forward. That is just where the NFL is with QB salaries in 2019 whether you're an All-Pro or not. You're getting paid regardless.

    If you're telling me that you would rather have Dak as your QB above any of the others you mentioned, then something is seriously wrong. for me, he doesn't pass the "eye" test. when I watch him play, I just never come away with a feeling that he's something special to take his team to the big game. For my money, he's just a bit above Alex Smith, a good steady QB but not that special guy.

    Where did I say anything remotely like I'd rather have Prescott over any of the other names I mentioned or even hinted it? I pointed out "his accuracy" was on par or better than some of the best QBs in football this season. Its easy to nitpick his pass attempts after a playoff loss where the offense was forced to throw it repeatedly because the run game was nonexistent.

    All I was saying is he's not as bad throwing the ball as some hear make it out to be and,yes, I watched way to many Cowboys games this season after I put my foot in my mouth predicting he'd win 10 games lol.
    I would take him over a fairly large group of other starting QBs though. His contract ends when Brady's does so let Jerry screw this one up so Steve's bae can swoop in and sign him up.

    <<< Its easy to nitpick his pass attempts after a playoff loss where the offense was forced to throw it repeatedly because the run game was nonexistent. >>>

    It was obvious that the Rams figured they could key in on Elliott, contain him, and if Prescott could beat them with the pass then he beats them. That's basically known as lack of respect for a quarterback.
