Totally agree
I'm more interested in how bust Morris Claiborne has the lowest completion % of all CB's this season

And with that - we now know who the starting QB of the Cowboys is.

The Cowboys drafted Dak in the 4th round and he is proving to be the best QB in this year's draft. I wonder if Jerry or his son made that pick.

I also hope they give Will McClay a big bag of money and he doesn't leave after this season. And remember - it was a compensable 4th. Cowboys and Iggles got their QB's for the next 10-12 years. |

Totally agree I'm more interested in how bust Morris Claiborne has the lowest completion % of all CB's this season I'm still trying to figure that one out also. Because the Cowboys are going to have a decision to make this off season with him. If it were based on the body of work excluding this season, it would be a no-brainer. But it's not. |

I think he's looked much better this season but I don't watch all of Dallas' games so he may just look good when I'm watching and still suck when I'm not. |

Here's something I would have never thought I would ever say about him. He's been the best CB on the team. And I mean that in a complementary way. He has been consistently good all season. I find it hard to believe it's only because he's playing for a contract because he has been so damn bad up to this year. I keep waiting to read something that talks about a change in technique or diet or footwork or anything that would say "the light came on". I haven't seen that yet. |

Something had to have 'came on' to make him look like a completely different player this year. |

Yeah kinda a surprise that all of a sudden he gets it It's like where were the incremental increases over the last few years |

Quote from Jerry Jones. Read into it what you will.
My take - as I said after the game Sunday is this.
There is no debate. Not anymore.

Andy Benoit on Dak Prescott
You know the specs: fourth-round rookie, new record-holder for most pass attempts to start a career without an interception (the streak ended last Sunday against Green Bay, at 176) and subject of all the “It Factor/ Moxie/Just A Winner” jargon you can stomach. Indeed, Prescott has been stellar. But when breaking down the NFL, counterintuitive as it is, you have to put results aside and analyze the process. And it’s in the process where Prescott stands out. He’s managing business before the snap at the line of scrimmage. He’s most comfortable in spread empty backfield formations, when the burden is on the QB to be prompt and sharp in his decisions. Though he’s not razor sharp here yet, he’s making some full-field reads. He’s played in command both with and without Dez Bryant in the lineup. And he’s been effective with his feet without relying on them. You almost never see a mobile rookie QB commit to playing from the pocket. Prescott has. And the Cowboys, to their credit, have capitalized on Prescott’s mobility with zone-read looks and bootlegs—tactics that freeze edge defenders, creating more space for runners inside.
But maybe we shouldn’t be surprised given that…
Prescott is playing behind the league’s best offensive line and alongside one the league’s most dynamic runners, Ezekiel Elliott. These are near-perfect quarterbacking conditions.
Forecast moving forward…
Bright. The game will only slow down for Prescott with more experience. We should see steeper progress in his precision accuracy and a greater number of intermediate throws being made on time.
