Carolina Panthers at Dallas Cowboys (-4) | 1 p.m. ET Sunday, FOX

The Cowboys’ formula is working. They’ve produced an excellent offense and a defense that has been competent and opportunistic. Dak Prescott might be the most accurate quarterback in the NFL right now. It’s stunning and rare when he just flat-out misses a throw. Prescott is completing 77.5 percent of his passes, which is the third-best mark for a quarterback through three games in the past 10 years. If you prefer advanced stats, Prescott is second in completion percentage above expectation. Watching Dallas’ offense against a Panthers defense that is loaded with young talent is going to be fun.

Sam Darnold has looked far more comfortable with the Panthers than he ever did with the Jets, but he still is good for a few head-scratching decisions each week and has four fumbles in three games. I think Dallas’ offense plays well again and its defense forces a couple turnovers.

The pick: Cowboys (-4)

If I am not mistaken, I heard that Dak is like 1st in getting the ball out fast. Which can be good against an efficient pass rush. However, the fact that we have multiple different guys dropping back and you don't know who that is, getting the ball out too fast can be costly. I think Dak has to hold the ball longer than he wants too and we continue our 4 sacks a game.

Cowboys are better than the Saints. I just think everyone needs to know this is a great Cowboys team. I can’t stand them but damn if Dak is healthy with all the weapons they’re hard to beat.

I think he's 2nd and yes that makes it challenging to get to him.  I think our coverage has to be disguised enough to prevent him from being able to know exactly where the ball needs to go, make him hesitate just enough...

We also run a unique defensive scheme, one that Dak hasn't seen before in the NFL.  He had one day less to prepare for our defense than a normal week.

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
