Every ban bet proposed had a nullifier, not sorry I don't agree to pussy as bets that can be nullified. I follow baseball but I chose the entire sports forums as a gift to the NBA fans.

I think the running game was hurt a whole lot more by having backup QB's in that teams didn't have to fear. I think even with Dez a big part of his success is not having a backup QB in that teams don't have to fear.
See all of our posts prior that point out that to think Prescott is going to magically be this good in the regular season is simply very, very unlikely...thus leading to all the same problems. Therefore, simply predicting 30 points out of the gate seems like blind homer hope to me. Could it happen? Sure, not like I have faith in the Giants' D by any stretch. But they did spend money and draft to fill some holes there this offseason, so I just feel predicting 30+ is a tad strong.

Someone will give him a shot...just not at those numbers. Maybe he can go to Michigan and be the QB for the Wolverines.

Results may vary, but they were at least overpaying for guys who have had success (if not quite the level most of us would equate with the value of their contracts) in the NFL already, and not pinning hopes on a rookie who hasn't played a down of regular season football yet. So while I agree they tossed out too much money, I think the chances of getting SOME return on that money is better than a mid round rookie QB playing lights out his first real NFL game.

Looking at it objectively I'd say Dak > Wilson/Brady/Rodgers but still half a step below Romo

My prediction for Dak is for him to have more production on the field than the entire Eagles 2016 draft class.

So basically you guys are all noise and none of you actually have much confidence in the shit you spew on here. Not that it wasn't already obvious. Deflections and hyperbole every step of the way.
Where is that wuss @Hoss at? Let's hear what he has to say. My guess is it's more of the same.

Most people didn't think Wilson was going to be all that great either. Shit, even Seattle didn't think they'd have to lean on him so soon after signing Flynn to that deal. But dude balled out in preseason, as a rookie is supposed to, and took the starting job away from Flynn while dude was dealing with an injury. He got Bledsoe'd hard. Wilson had a strong defense and running game to support him so he didn't need to do too much. Just play the game and don't turn the ball over. He did that.
Dak's in a different situation in a couple of senses. Dallas' D isn't all that but I thought they did well last year given the circumstances. I think they'll be middle-third overall and the turnover differential should normalize back to average. However, Dak does have a strong run game. Elliot and Morris fit the scheme. He also has way more receiving weapons than Wilson did and he seems to not be relying on a single "safety blanket" in the outings so far. And ultimately, there's no QB controversy to be had. Once Romo is healthy, he'll take the snaps.
Moreso than the other QB draft picks, maybe barring Lynch (but only on Defense really), Dak is walking into a team ready to go. Offensively they appear to have all the pieces. I think he'll do very well in Romo's absence, and might even lead to them giving Romo extra time for that fracture to heal. Either way, he's going to be good.
That said, the first six weeks are going to be a real good test. Giants are always a tough opponent, and Washington looks to be getting their shit together. Bears are 49ers are probably wins but then they have the Bengals, who despite their playoff futility are still a good team, and the Packers, who should be a bit better than last year. I think 3-3 after 6 games is an acceptable record all things considered.

What's hyperbolic about Dak having more production on the field than the entire Eagles draft class of 2016?

4-2 3-3 is my prediction for Dak after 6, but because Tony while fragile is a tough fucker so 3-1 or 2-2 when Tony comes back early...after he gets broke again I'll revisit my predictions.

You're the only Dallas fan that actually makes legit points. I think 3-3 is the ceiling in those 6 games. I want to see how he handles all the schemes thrown his way. He's going to make mistakes, throw picks, etc. It's one thing to look good in pre season, it's a totally different thing when you're on film for an entire week and some highly paid defensive coord is breaking you down. Odds are stacked against him this season, that's not to say he can't become a really good QB but there are way too many unknowns for some of the shit coming out about this dude

To be fair to Wilson you still had mouth breathers here as recently as last year saying Wilson sucks.

You failed to understand it's ok we don't expect much from you, my predictions for Dak were stated, when Romo breaks again and Dak has to start again I'll revisit the prediction and give new ones...I also expect Romo to try to be back after game 4, so that's why I gave the 4 and 6 game prediction on his record.
