Ok ok, we understand this Mod has a Dak crush.....lol...we who do not share your love and mind-set hope for fair play and treatment.
So far all is well in these lovely forums....:cool:
All I'm saying is the 8-8 season wasn't all on Dak. But read into whatever you want.

Perhaps if you get past your Dak hate for a minute you would reread my post and see I didn't say one positive thing or praise Dak in any way.

Can't get past Dak as I consider him the biggest reason we are struggling annually.
Sorry but QB is the most important position on the field and I will not sacrifice the Star for any player including Dak!

Don't let facts get in the way of a fun fantasy story.

Anymore, I get the feeling I am being baited around here like gator in a swamp.

I have been watching too many of these Swamp Hunter reality TV shows since having to stay home.

Got to stop that. Been getting a hankering for fried gator tail.
I just replied to you with an article link that fully explains and should answer all of your questions. If you still insist on blaming Dak, you simply hate the player even though the results prove he's not the one to blame for an 8-8 2019 season.

On 1st downs he has a 57% success rate which is 3rd in the nfl and 7.8 Y/A which is 10th in the NFL.

On 2nd downs he has a 54% success rate which is 1st int the NFL and 8.3 Y/A which is 2nd in the NFL.

Combine 1st and 2nd downs he has a 56% success rate which is 1st in the NFL and 8.1 Y/A which is 2nd in the NFL.
BOOM!

:hammer:

That should answer his questions and silence his hatred, but I doubt it. Some people personally don't like Dak for some weird reason.

I agree.

Dak was never the only reason.

A bit of a primary reason based on the won-loss.

That is how QBs are judged.

I remember how the cry went up in 2018 about how the team asked Dak to win without a #1 WR.

So they traded for Amari and things improved.

In 2019 the team was supposed to be a contender. We were supposed to have vindicated Dak with Amari.

Everything was good.

Then 2019 actually came and Amari disappeared at times, Dak lost close games before he has won in 2016 and 2018.

The dynamic trio of Dak, Zeke and Amari could not get it done. Only a blind fool could miss why.

I leave it up to the Forum to analyze the results. The team decided Garrett has to go and renew Daks and Amari's deals.

Problem solved with McCarthy hired.

I am not sure about much of the changes except Garrett has his chance and failed.

Now McCarthy takes over a hot mess in Dallas.

We shall see. Reasons why it all happened will vary.

Ok.

Dak was poor in the first qtr throughout the year and fair in the 4th qtr.

He had a QB rating of 42.5 when trailing with less than 2 minutes to go and a rating of 68.1 with less than 4 minutes to go.

Those are actually STATS that have meaning!

He has a 43% record vs winning teams

Just for some comparisons, I did these for another debate on another forum

wilson is 31-26 54%
stafford is 8-59 12%
Cousins is 7-30 19%
Carr is 11-40 22%
gof is 12-14 46%
wentz is 11-18 38%
Rodgers is 36-42-1 46%
Brees is 52-68 43%
Dak is 13-17 43%
What was Romo's team record against winning teams? I'm curious to compare.

You are comparing Dak's 3rd down passes completions % overall to this thread's Dak's 3 & 5+ yards attempts completions %. BIG DIFFERENCE. Even then, converting 60+ % of all of your 3rd down passes is not bad.

No, he converted 44% of third downs - 41% of third downs over 4 yards.

My analysis has proven that this "stat" is suspect!

But WHY was Dak poor in the 1st quarter? CONTEXT! You are lacking proper context.

I know.

Wanting to blame our best player for substandard play is just blind.

We have other player who want the ball.

And rather than making Zeke into another DeMarco Murray..

Zeke needs help from the coaches to conserve his career.

But will they?

Not sure.
This supposed "best player" came up short many times on short run plays needed to keep drives alive. Granted, it's not all on him. This highest paid in the league Oline also didn't open up lanes for Zeke to run through when it mattered the most.

I understand that, but that means, by your exclusion there, that he was more accurate on 3rd and 5+ than he was on 3rd and less since his completion % is lower on an overall basis. His conversion rate on 3rd and 4+ was 41% so that means he had to have a ton of drops and knockdowns and does not account for passes caught that were inaccurate.

It does not add up! Does not pass the reasonableness test.
What was Romo's team record against winning teams? I'm curious to compare.
Ill try to find it

A lot of that was connecting to Cooper (just noted how many times saw 19). Interesting stat and wouldn't have thunk it tbh.
This is why I've been saying the Cowboys have to use their #17th pick on a stud #1 WR, especially since we now know Cooper has lingering plantar fasciitis in both feet that affect his performance. Just a matter of time before Cooper gets affected or misses more games. Who is left? Not 1 single #1 true WR. BIG HOLE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IN THIS DRAFT.
