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.

Cowboys lost to Rams.... Defense!!!

       If you're reading this expecting me to bash the Cowboys defense stop reading now! The Cowboys have a struggling defense but that shouldn't be a surprise to anybody. The only way to build a championship team in today's NFL is to hit on some draft picks.  The Cowboys have invested a ton of money on the offensive side of the ball. They still have to pay Zach Martin this season. Also consider that they will have to pay Zeke and Dak at some point very soon. The only way to improve this defensive unit is via the draft. Look on the bright side, the Cowboys could be paying $200 million to defensive players and be sitting at 0-4 like the Giants.         Staying with the money aspect for just a second. Demarcus Lawrence (DLaw) and David Irving are up for contracts after this season. Lawrence was leading the league in sacks coming into week 4. Chances are they will only keep one of them. Byron Jones, a...

Five Keys to beating the 49ers!!!!

                        Cowboy Nation, it’s time to dust ourselves off and get ready for the reminder of the 2017 season. Yes, it was a rough 5-week start to the season, but it isn’t over and the Cowboys are still in great position to get the job done. The bye week has come and gone. At this point, I’m ready to put everything that went on the first 5 weeks, in the back of my mind and approach the reminder of the season with renewed faith.             The Dallas Cowboys take on the San Francisco 49ers. Many Cowboys fans have taken the confident approach and have turned their noses up at the 49ers. They think that this is a non-contest and the Cowboys should win this game going away, be careful. This 49ers team has lost 5 straight games by 3 points or less. If there is any team due (due theory) for a win it’s the 49ers. Salmon Thomas and Deforest Buckner are s...

Five Keys To Beating the Giants 2017 wk1

            Ezekiel Elliot has pulled a Tom Brady and he will be playing for the Cowboys this entire season. Giant’s players have been beating on their chest, wishing Zeke plays, and acting tough. Be careful what you wish for! George Forman wanted Ali to stand in front him and not dance around. Eight rounds later he wished he didn’t fight Ali. On Sunday night, the Giants will wish they never wished for Zeke to play, or played the Dallas Cowboys.             The Dallas Cowboys take on the hated division rival New York Giants. It seems like the NFL benefits greatly from putting these two teams against each other to start the season. Cowboy’s vs Giants is always an entertaining match-up and this year will be no different. Zeke’s suspension is on hold for the time being, Odell Beckham’s ankle is making it hard for him to practice and he might not play. Brandon Marshall’s shoulder has been bothering him s...
