Cool it with the Dak Hate!


           Can we all stop with the system quarterback argument when it comes to Dak Prescott! Most of the people spewing that stuff are the same people saying that Dak will fall back to earth. Stop it! Dak Prescott had one really good year. His success within the offense is the main reason that the Cowboys won 13 games and the NFC East division.
            Yeah it was one season, and yeah he has some major talent surrounding him. But, just two seasons ago Matt Cassel, Brandon Weedon, and Kellen Moore weren’t able to have any success with this same team. In 2015 Tony Romo won the first two games of the season and those JAGS (Just A Guy) were only able to win two more games. The same exact team that won 4 games, was able to win 13 games in 2016 thanks to Dak Prescott. I’m not going to tell anyone that Dak is the next Tom Brady, or Peyton Manning. But he could be the next Ben Roethlisberger or Russell Wilson. Before I crown him anything, I’m going to need to see a lot more from him.  I want to address the hater that seem to think that last season was a fluke and he is overrated.
            If I need to see more of him in order to say he is the next great quarterback, how can anyone deem him overrated or a fluke. He had a good rookie season, some of you won’t even admit that. The running game was amazing, and he has a good group of playmakers. Dak was able to make it all work. He was able to stay poised in the pocket, protect the ball, and use his mobility to move the chains. Dak did what made Romo so great.
At the beginning of Romo’s career, he was very mobile and effective at keeping plays alive with is legs. In 2014 Romo had an MVP caliber season doing exactly what Dak did last season. If Dak can be a better leader than Romo he will have the ability to be a Ben Roethlisberger. Extending plays, protecting the ball, and moving the chains are what make offenses work. Dak doesn’t have to throw for 300 yds a game, he won’t have to complete 40 passes. Most of you are looking at the stat sheet and saying “he wasn’t great”, or “all he did was hand the ball off”. The Dallas Cowboys had a top 5 offense last year without him passing for 300 yds a game.

Russell Wilson has never averaged 300 yards passing a game for a full season. In his rookie season, he only averaged 194.9 yards a game. Wilson’s has only thrown over 10 interceptions in a season once. I like to compare Dak to Wilson because I think that’s his best comparison. Russell Wilson also has benefited going to the right situation. The Seahawks had a very solid team when he took over. What took them to the next level is the consistent play of Wilson and the leaps of that defense. Wilson has gotten better every year and now the Seahawks depend on him to be great. I see it the same way for Dak. For the next 2-3 seasons, the Cowboys won’t rely solely on him. He will just need to be consistently good, and efficient. Hopefully the Cowboys can win a superbowl or two. Within the next 5 seasons, we could be looking at an all-time great.

Defense shines bright Today!!!!!

            Game day is here! The Cowboys will be taking on the Packers, today, at 4:15 pm EST. This is a big game for the Cowboys. It’s a chance to get back on the winning path. Much has been made about the Packers, mostly because they have the best quarterback in the game, Aaron Rodgers. Outside of Rodgers this Packers team is mediocre. I think this will be a statement win, and a win that will bode well for the Cowboys in the standings later in the season. Demarcus “DLAW” Lawrence             DLaw is the NFL sack leader (7.5) through the first four weeks of the season. He has had in impact in every game. I would love for him to play the run better, but I will settle for him getting to the quarterback.             This is a game tailor made for Lawrence. The Packers may be without their starting tackles. The offensive line for the ...

The Time is now Defense!

            The time is now for the Dallas Cowboys! I’m not going to diminish how important Zeke Elliot is to the success of this Cowboys team. The reality is that he is probably going to serve this six game suspension at some point. Even if he pushes it back a week or two, the NFL is going to win. Personally, I would like to see him serve the suspension now because the team appears to be gelling together. They are more equipped now after a two game win streak, to make a run at Philly for the division lead. What has to happen for the Cowboys to keep the season trending upward?             The Dallas Cowboys are in a perfect position after 8 weeks. Their record sits at 4-3 and they didn’t look good the first five games of the season. Since the week six bye week the Cowboys have been playing amazing. Say what you want about the quality of opponent, there aren’t many great teams in the league anyways...

The Cowboys will be figure out..... Stop it!

                             When you’re America’s team (say what you want about it) there will always be hate surrounding you. The hates comes from the love that so many people have for the Dallas Cowboys. Either that or they have beaten your favorite team in route to five super bowl championships. So either you love the Cowboys or you love to hate the Cowboys, which ever one it is, you have some love for the Cowboys.             I would like to take time to address the Stephen A Smith’s of the world. The haters that love to spout out that “the Cowboys will find a way to mess it up”, or “they’re a disaster waiting to happen.” Tony Romo breaking a bone in his back isn’t considered a disaster waiting to happen. He got hurt! Injuries are a part of the game. Had it not been for that Romo injury the Cowboys would have made the postseason three s...
