I issue I see with this comment is that when the team loses, many blame Dak and not his supporting cast...Daks versatility in being a passer or a bus driver allows our offense to excell.

What many do should not matter if they are wrong. Blaming one player or even the wrong player goes back much farther than Dak.

It's kind of like the leadership thing. When this team is playing well, they have good leaders. When the team is playing poorly, they have bad leaders. Doesn't even matter if it's the same players. You can be a great leader on a bad team and not have success. You can be a poor leader on a great team and have success. Generally, leadership looks like it is better on a good team because there's no dissension in the house since the team is winning and everyone is having fun.

It's just some of the silly stuff fans get into because they are looking for someone to place blame or credit on and don't seem able to divide it in a team sport. Much like for some all the credit for our offensive success goes to Moore, as if McCarthy isn't a proven offensive mind, and McCarthy is just along for the ride. The truth is that both deserve the credit ... and maybe even beyond that, the position coaches also deserve their share of the credit.

There isn't a QB in the league with more talent around him. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of decent teams on the schedule, so it's hard to tell if we're just beating up on bad teams or if we're for real.
Brady and Mahomes just to name a couple.

He is one of the worst. But I’m trying to be civil with them and just let them hang themselves. That always works.
I can't handle stupidity....that's why i get benched often....I'm really trying to be cool, though.....it tough! Lol

Same here. Sometimes you just can’t let stupidity go unchecked because others on the board will actually believe the stupidity.

It takes a 53 man roster. In that photo Kellen Moore looks like he is on catnip.

No question, but if your trigger (QB) can't play at a high level it impacts the entire team........see the 49ers, Bears, Chiefs vs Packers, Bucs, Bengals or Cowboys. It's not hard to see....at all.

Why deflect to Wentz when the thread was about Dak?

For what it's worth, here is Wentz's 2021 stats:

141 of 219 64.4% Comp % 1,695 Yards 11 TD's 1 INT TD % 5.0% INT % .5% QB RTG 102.8


Dak

158 of 216 73.1% Comp % 1,813 Yards 16 TD's 4 INT's TD % 7.4% INT % 1.9% QB RTG 115.0


Is Dak playing well? Absolutely Is Wentz off to the best start of his career so far? Absolutely

So again, not sure why bring up Wentz in a thread about Dak.

If Dak is currently carrying this team on his back, he's about to drop it. His strained calf can't bear the weight.

That is my issue. All the blame for the losses, some of the credit for the wins lol.

Goes both ways as some give all the credit to Dak for wins yet everyone else the blame for losses.

The fact is this team is playing well because of offense, defense, and special teams just like they did in 2016.

I said that a few posts above my friend. Football is a team sport. Is Dak a huge part of that? Yes. Is he solely responsible for our success? No. Thats like saying Diggs is solely responsible for our defense playing so well. Its nonsensical when there are 10 other guys on the field lol.

And in the 70s and early 90s.....Roger and Troy never got the credit, but the didn't get blamed either.
