BBI's Perception of Dak Prescott

M.S. : 10/10/2021 8:19 pm

I'd say the vast majority of what I read on BBI makes a good deal of sense. But not when it comes to the assessment of Dak Prescott who is not held in very high regard by several BBIers.

So for those BBIers out there, and you know who I'm talking about, I got a little secret for you: Dak Prescott is an elite NFL QB who owns the Giants lock, stock and barrel.

Today he completed 69% of his passes for 302 yards. He also tossed 3 TDs against 1 INT.

Since 2017 Dak Prescott is now 8-0 against the Giants. In those 8 games, he has attempted 258 passes, completing 170 of them for a 65.9% completion rate. His total yardage is 2,277 (285 yards per game) with 19 TD passes against only 3 interceptions.

Earlier this week Troy Aikman said the Giants are not in the class of the Dallas Cowboys. I would only add that Dak Prescott is several classes ahead of this Giants franchise.

Several.
I don’t care what Dak does against the Giants

We fucking suck. Has there a QB who played poorly against us this year?
Dak is a good QB but I would

suffice to say a lot of NFL QB's have great stats against the Giants since 2017...
Not sure this is the game for this post  
Chris684 : 10/10/2021 8:22 pm : link
1 pick, should of been 2.

Fumbled snap for another turnover.

Running game that did whatever it wanted. Weapons all over the field.

I see a good but very beatable quarterback.
Hes great  
Paulie Walnuts : 10/10/2021 8:26 pm : link
Not unbeatable but outstanding.. put jones in his position and let's compare
He's the the most overpaid over hyped good QB  
arniefez : 10/10/2021 8:26 pm : link
in the history of the NFL. He's a good QB who basically plays a 7-7 scrimmage in real games. The Giants didn't get anywhere near him. He just took his drop looked around and threw practice passes against a horrible team. He's won 1 playoff game. Let's see him do what Eli did during two playoff runs and then get back to me.
He owns us.  
Ten Ton Hammer : 10/10/2021 8:27 pm : link
Dak Prescott has thrown for more yards (2,367) and touchdowns (17) against the Giants than any other opponent in his career.

The Cowboys have won seven straight in the series with Dak at QB, with the only two Giants wins coming when Dak was a rookie.
the talent assessment on BBI is atrocious  
Producer : 10/10/2021 8:28 pm : link
Most think Jones is great and Dak, Herbert and Burrow are flawed.

It's bizarro world
Dak is good but don’t call him elite  
joe48 : 10/10/2021 8:29 pm : link
He has had best OL, RB and receivers. He has great stats because a has all pros on offense. Here is one that he needs to be fix 5-13 against teams with winning records not including this year. 6th year in league and one playoff win. So much money invested in Dallas offense defense has been less than average. This includes his $40 M contract. You are lowering the elite bar for Dak.
I think he’s a top 8 QB  
Everyone Relax : 10/10/2021 8:29 pm : link
But strangely at the same time he doest scare me or make think the cowboys are ever going to win a championship with him. He could have easily thrown 3 picks today
Dak is a dynamite QB...

If you can't see it, you can't see it.
If Daniel Jones  
Chris684 : 10/10/2021 8:33 pm : link
beat a team minus it’s starting QB, starting RB and 3 starting WRa accounting for over 70% of team’s offense his performance would be seen as illegitimate.

Give me a break.

Is their line really that great anymore? It's not 2015, time to re-think IMO

The win itself would be discounted.
He's won my admiration.

Yes their line is great especially now when

Dax has an excellent running game, OL and skill players around him.  
BigBlueNH : 10/10/2021 8:40 pm : link
And has his entire time in the league. It is hard to determine how "elite" he is, with so much talent around him and just 1 playoff win. He is certainly very good. But I think a lot of QBs would have looked "elite" today playing with that O against our D.
The mental gymnastics on display  
j_rud : 10/10/2021 8:40 pm : link
in an attempt to paint Prescott as an average QB is one of the more embarrassing things you'll see here. Nearly on the same level as savoring those oh so satisfying moral victories.
The Giants threw several blitzes as Dak Prescott today  
M.S. : 10/10/2021 8:47 pm : link

And he completed some very good passes under duress.

That's what elite QBs do.

As for the rationale that he has such a great team around him, I guess we should penalize Dak Prescott's performance because he gets to choose who Dallas puts out there on offense.

Okie-dokie.

Yup, this board easily has the least knowledgeable posters on any board I’ve been on. It used to be pretty good too.

Come on, it's not what it was. Everyone wants to discount Dak. he's been an incredible QB, better than his line.
MS.. Really?

Is this something we don’t know? Thanks for making sure we have the facts.
he completed some very good passes under duress  
arniefez : 10/10/2021 9:06 pm : link
duress? That's funny. He isn't close to Burrows or Herbert's class. If the QBs switched sides today the score would have been the same. Again 1 playoff win. Let's see him win a game like Eli did in SF in 2011 or Dallas in 2007 before we crown him ok.
Umm

Who really gives a shit? The Giants suck and most QB’s look good against them.

Herbert - fine. He's a physical marvel.

But Burrow?? Dak is easily the QB you think Burrow is. Easily.

100%.

the worst team in football over the past 6 years means they are elite? Talk your stupid shit once he wins something

Welp, you’re sure are right about one thing. Giants suck.
I thought he did pretty well  
Bill in UT : 10/10/2021 10:03 pm : link
in his mid-long range passes today. He moved up a notch in my book. I thought he was just a good 5-20 yard passer. Plus, he's got a great OL

I don’t know if you notice they are averaging 168 yds rushing and Dak completes a high % of his passes because he has great protection.
"He has a great OL" has always been a stupid argument  
Ten Ton Hammer : 10/10/2021 10:07 pm : link
To me. So did Eli when he had his most success.

Good teams have good OL. It's not a reason to doubt a QB.
I think Dak is a good QB  
Pascal4554 : 10/10/2021 10:12 pm : link
How many playoff wins does he have? Most of the NFL racks up stats on hour shitty Giants. I seem to remember Dak missing some deep balls in big games at clutch spots. Though my memory is not that good.

Credit to Dallas they have the better stadium, better talent, possibly better coaching, and the cheerleaders are nice, etc.

If Jones was putting up the numbers Dak has the last few years. If he's not a true franchise QB, what does that make Danny Dimes?
