Day 112

Fresh Start_112: Dial it back
Everyone calling for Tony Romo to comeback and start for the Cowboys stop it! Prescott is a rookie quarterback that has seemed like a rookie quarterback until the past 2 weeks. There are learning curves for every QB in this league and it takes time for quarterbacks sometimes to adjust. Other times, like Dak for example, take the league by storm, and towards the end of the season tapper off to be average.

Prescott so far has had an above average season for being a 4th round rookie quarterback, exceeding any expectations that the Cowboys or the league had for him. Prescott has thrown for 3,139 yards, 20 touchdowns, and only 4 interceptions with a 65.8% completion percentage. The amazing offensive line that fellow rookie Ezekiel Elliott is running behind can only save Prescott for so long. With the weather being a factor, the Dallas receivers couldn’t get open as fast, making Prescott hold the ball for longer and take sacks. There is no question that Prescott is talented and will be a good solid NFL quarterback for a couple of years, but let’s not forget that last night was Prescott’s 13th career game. The angry mob calling for his head after one bad loss, would’ve been doing the same thing if Romo was under center last night.

The Cowboys are in an interesting dilemma at the QB position but a late year benching of Dak Prescott will not solve anything. Let the young man learn because the Cowboys still have the underhand in the division and have already clinched a playoff spot. Also, let’s not forget that this team has the best record in the NFL barring any late year disasters. Prescott and the Cowboys have Tampa Bay, Detroit, and Philly to round out the year, with the next two games being at home. The way I see it, the Cowboys will wind up 13-3 winning the NFC East and clinching home field for the playoffs. These are exciting times to be a Cowboy fan so don’t cause yourself extra stress by calling for the head of the quarterback that got you to where you are now. For heaven’s sake, Prescott might end up with the offensive rookie of year at the end of the season anyway, so do like Aaron Rodgers and R-E-L-A-X. Losing to any division opponent is hard, especially at the end of the year, but this time it’s not the end of the world.

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
