Yep. He took a lot in college, but he is en fuego.

Honestly he is far more impressive than a healthy Robert Griffin.
He's a better passer but he's still running way too much and most of the pass designs are simple reads off RPOs and screens. That simplicity will get figured out in not too long and he'll have to make up for it with his legs, which will only increase the risk of injury.

It's similar to what the Eagles do with Hurts and that got figured out after a year or two.

Prescott’s play is not the exclusive reason we are losing games in epic fashion. If that is “defending” him, I have no idea what to tell you.
He’s nothing special tho. He was approaching “great” when he was mobile

One day these fuckin owners are going to have to nut up and quit paying QBs like Dak, Tua, and the fag in Jacksonville “next one up” money.

I agree. Since he broke his ankle, that player went away. Rookie Prescott was about as good as we were going to get.

Not that exclusive is correct but if you look at his overall performances he is a functional QB . However those stats are against weak teams that are in the cellar most of the time. When it comes to performers who are the top performers Dallas doesnt look very good. Take the most recent game, his performance was miserable for 3 quarters and he didnt hit his stride until the components of the game were completely changed out then he came to life. You aren’t going to win many Games being behind most of the time. i think Lamb was benched because Prescott couldn’t throw a decent pass to him. His was going to get injured at some point if his receptions were giving him a battering with every pass. Prescott seemed to come to life when Lamb was put on the sidelines. What does that say?

That neither of them played a down in the preseason and are off to yet another slow start because game speed is much faster that practice speed and they don't have good chemistry right now.

Lamb had an attitude issue Sunday, he should be pissed off at himself for fumbling in the redzone, but I don't think we get better because he is taken off the field. Honestly, I think the Ravens were comfortable for a while, and the play calling changed in the fourth quarter.

It would suck to lose to the Bengals after the Pats and Skins beat em, but we're capable of anything this year.

Just give me a defense that looks anything other than incompetent against the run.

The Nolan year was bad. Aside from making no effort whatsoever in the offseason to fix it, how is it back?

Prescott had limited time with the other receivers as well but suddenly he could become a savior with the other receivers as soon a Lamb went to the bench. There is more to this than having limited time with receivers. Prescott suddenly went from can’t connect with anyone to an ace QB as soon as the number 1 receiver leaves the game.
The finishing time flipped the momentum and Prescott went from a beaten down performance to a world beater. What’s wrong with this picture?

It showed its head last year, the Green Bay game being the most obvious but Buffalo as well. The Buffalo game could be written off since we were like 10-4 or whatever but that exact game script (i.e. running 30-40 times for 200+ yards while only attempting 15ish passes) has played out exactly the same over the last two weeks.

It's preposterous honestly in the modern NFL, and while Mazi and the DT's suck, blah, blah, blah, these sorts of performances consistently happening go way deeper than just mediocre personnel.

Well, Lamb is a Sooner.

Nothing good comes from that school.

I think you missed my last statement. The Ravens have proven to be bad at holding on to leads. Nothing was different Sunday. They got up big and went soft. They managed to win the game, but its not a new trait for them to give up leads in the 4th quarter.
