How many points did the defense give up on average in those starts? Here lemme do it for you..
In the last 20 games which Dak started the offense has scored an average of 27.7 ppg
In the last 20 games which Dak started the defense has given up an average of 23.75 ppg
So in those last 20 games the offense has put up damn near 28 ppg and still we have a losing record. When I read this my eyes shift somewhere other than the offense to find blame. These numbers would place the offense squarely in the top 10 in the league.. The defensive numbers would place them in the bottom 10. But it's the QB's fault.. This team has now lost the last 16 games in which it has failed to score 30 points.. and has lost 2 of the last 4 when it HAS scored 30. But it's the QB's fault.
In 5 games in 2020 Dak led the offense to 32.6 ppg.
In 5 games in 2020 that Dak started the defense gave up an average of 34.2 ppg...
But it's the QB's fault. Yeah.. sure..
Yeah, numbers sound good.
QBs numbers should directly translate into more Ws imo but here there is an always an accountability problem.
Do an "every offensive snap plus/minus" All22 breakdown. Focus on 3rd downs.
Challenge yourself to delve deeper. When are points scored. When are they not. What opponents are being played.
Is the oline getting beat every single play?
Could an audible have been made to a hot route?
Was one receiver stared down?
Is that still the same fundamentally flawed footwork from MS State.
Wow, there was separation there on the replay, why didn't he throw that into that window?
It's a little thing called context.
He still does the exact same stuff he ever has.
You're another guy who believes he has magically morphed into a high volume Big 12 type guy when nothing could be further from the truth.
The winning formula is the 2016 way. The way that Tennesse is doing it with Tannehill and Henry. The problem is THAT oline and THAT RB are long gone.
Just compare his simple stuff. Touchdown to int ratio against poor teams and against good teams.
And then....
Drum roll.
Convince yourself that the one person touching every snap and getting paid the Lions share of his entire team's payroll is not somehow responsible for wins and losses and not just your fantasy football numbers.
Or maybe consider 160 mil spent couldn't have been used on the defense that you are blaming for all the losses while paying a lesser QB salary or drafting one to accomplish the SAME most important thing. And that is Wins.
I mean, Kirk Cousins has really nice end of year stats every year, right?
No worries.
Im about the team.
Many here are about the player.
To each their own.
