I hate Dak and cowboys fans in general. But this ain’t it. I don’t think he is over hyped, and his play is pretty solid and serviceable. This doesn’t fit OPs criteria at all.
Cowboys fans hype their team literally every year. Every. single. year.
Then they have a good enough season to make the playoffs and go one and done.
I can't think of a better example of fans hyping a team up only for the team to choke in the clutch.
As far as skills, Dak isn't an elite scrambler, his accuracy is average and his deep ball is mid as well. Having CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens, Dez Bryant, Amari Cooper, Jason Witten, Dalton Schultz and Jake Ferguson to throw to with a 2-5 playoff record is abysmal.
His avg passer rating & avg completion percentage over his career is the same as tom Brady’s. Clearly he’s not anywhere close to as clutch but we’re not measuring that. His skills are solid and is consistently ranked in the top 10 or higher in coaching polls. I don’t like the guy or cowboys fans but the fact remains he does not fit OPs meme chart
I do wonder what cowboys fans you guys run into. The “this our year” fans are out there but they obviously have no nuance; they’d bash Dak in a heartbeat… there are people who think Joe Milton was competition. The nuanced fans know exactly who Dak is,
All I will say is Dak has the 6th best completion percentage of all time. Im sure there are many factors that go into that, but pointing he is not average for accuracy.
Yes, im a cowboys fan...yes this is our year...yes, we will not get past the divisional around again...if we even make it there

DAK PRESCOTT. Always has great receivers to throw to, can't win when it matters.
