Twitter: KC: Dak must reach playoffs consistently if he's paid premium QB money

[CATCH17]

I heard this on my lunch break.. Good stuff.




Some facts.

Green Bay has made the playoffs 8 of last 10 years. The only 2 they didn't make it were McCarthy's final 2 seasons..

New Orleans has made it the last 4 years and 6 out of the last 10.

Seattle has only missed the playoffs 1 time with Russell Wilson.

Tom Brady has made the playoffs 10 out of the last 10 years. It's been awhile until since Tampa has been to the playoffs

Mahomes has went 3 years in a row.

This is why you pay the elite guys and let the not so elites walk if they want elite money.

 

[jazzcat22]

So Dak gets elite money and we are in the playoffs the next 5 years. Ok, I can live with that.

Dak has never had elite money. Come to think of it, at 2 million per season over his first 4 years he has to be one of the biggest bargains in the NFL during that time.

I dont recall you ever talking about that.

Yep, sounds like all we have to do is pay Dak elite money and were in the playoffs. Why isnt he signed already?

He was a great bargain. Loved it.. I wish we could keep him for that price. It gave the team an advantage. I like my team having an advantage.

Dak is much better than he was back then so its a give and take. Jerry couldnt create a championship caliber squad with Dak at 2 million what are the odds he can do it at 35 million?

We need another two great drafts in a row.

None of those teams have a garbage GM...

It was Dak that completely blew out chances at the playoffs in 2017 and it was Dak who almost completely blew out chances at the playoffs in 2018.. Cooper on the other hand saved 2018..

 

[Risen Star]

I'll miss the days we had a bargain on mediocrity.

I just can't believe we've only made the playoffs 3 of the last 10 years and our organization thinks status quo gives them an advantage.

It’s not just the defense. We are in bigger trouble, because of our OL. Collins hip issue seems major and Smith is getting really old. I have no faith in Philbin and our RG has been deteriorating ever since Callahan left.

Yep..

People think we're just a couple drafts away or whatever.. Build a defense.

Meanwhile the OL is trending down.



I'll say though.. I thought the Oline coach did well for what he had. The Arizona & Washington game were awful but for what they had I thought it was ok.

The springs on that window popped while Jerry's puppet was still trying to learn how to coach.

I think a lot of it had to do with Andy Dalton getting the ball out quickly he design, more so the OL, though it got more consistent. There were only 3 QBs outside Dalton that were getting the ball out quicker since week 11. Dalton threw less play action in 11 games than Dak did in 5. Even when blocking, such as in the Giants game, they were getting pushed back into the pocket, not even holding ground.

This is why I think Dak was lucky, otherwise he would have gotten completely exposed in this OL context. This was not, Dak sit back there, run deep routes and throw all the time off play action OL context. When Andy first started and Martin was out, all defenses did was blitz from what I saw.

The offense is fine if the line can stay healthy.

Add something on defense to make it middle of the road and they can compete in a bad division.

It's better than a full rebuild at this point.

They are very far from being dominant but no one really is.

In Philbin’s last year with the Colts, they gave up 56 sacks. In his last year in GB, Rodgers got sacked 49 times.

 

[aria]

How many of those set new salary records for RB’s?

Unpopular opinion..

Our offense sucks.

Slow starts, penalties, and incredibly bad play calls at times.. It's overrated.

When the OL and Zeke were rolling we had an offense that could just go take games from people.

2018 it looked good after we acquired Cooper but Garretts predictability made us too EZ to defend.


Can they get some nice stats? Sure.. But can we go to Pittsburgh and win a game with it?

What about 2019? We got nothing against the Saints, PAtriots, and Eagles.

Our offense has potential but they pad their overall stats and the Macro looks good.

Are we at 20 games in a row without an opening drive TD?

How many times did we play with a lead for the first 2 months of this season?

Just a pity we weren't good enough to take advantage of it.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

This is such a dumb standard....people pick and chose when they want to use the W/L record as a QB stat. When it works in their favor its a QB stat. When its use to make Dak look bad its "teams win games not one player".

Its a silly argument. Fact is, build a solid team around him just like the Packers have and just like the Saints have and maybe he would make the playoffs.

As we can see from this terrible team.....Dak didn't inherit a good team or a good coaching staff...he succeed in spite of it.
