I agree both occur but the excuses made for Dak around here when we lose far far outweigh those who say the team carried Dak when we win and i also know you well enough that you see that. I have seen far more around here who aren't sold on Dak give him credit when he plays well than i see from Dak supporters when he doesn't and we lose, at that point in time all the excuses come out in spades
I'll have to start looking more closely because we are clearly seeing things a little differently. I see both sides I just don't see the excuses far, far outweighing the criticism.
I know you started an excuse thread for Dak and there are "excuses" but they are also reasons why the over-the-top criticism is bunk. It's the same thing with Romo during his playing days. Most people didn't defend Romo because they thought he was some great QB. They defended him because there were countless posts of how much he sucked and we would never be able to win with him. I was part of that group. Now after he quit playing he was elevated into some sort of QB God, but that's a different story. I think the same thing occurs with most Dak supporters. He is frequently bashed and these stats that get posted sort of speak to the point that he's not as bad as people claim.
What is really wish (and I know this is a pipe dream) is if people would take a step back, take a deep breath, acknowledge they have a bias, figure out what is driving that bias, and make an effort to re-evaluate their opinion with an open mind. I think the overwhelming majority of people would realize he's either not as bad or as good as they believe him to be. If that happened maybe most of the petty arguing would be eliminated and the quality of the board would be improved. Again, I know that's not going to happen, but the place would be a hell of a lot better if it would.
