Why are we comparing Dak to average? I'm a dak supporter, but comparing him to average doesn't seem like the best way to analyse this
Well to the masses who think he was woefully below average in this category, it’s a step at a time. If we can get people to see that in comparison to the league Dak is not a bottom feeder vs top 10 defenses, we can begin to take a step forward collectively.

It’s not comparing to average it’s comparing to top ten defenses, using their average allowed number which is already above average bc they are a top ten defense

It's how the avarage qb played vs top 10 defenses..that's comparing him to average

I agree with your point, but I think those people are a loud minority.

Most of your "Dak haters" agree he is an above average QB.
