Yes, a slipping clutch like in my old 66 Chevelle that needed replaced so you can actually move forward.
lmao! Dude, that was good!

This isn’t a bad compDak is as clutch as a prostitute is wholesome.
So some people will point out that Dak being clutch is one of his better traits. Well this might help dispel that notion.
13 games when the Cowboys had the ball with 2 minutes or less losing by 1 to 7 points.
1-12 in those games. Watching yesterdays games you need an offense and QB who can win games in the clutch with little to no time left in the playoffs. Dak isnt that QB.

That is incredibly telling.
Look, the odds ARE against you in that situation. You have to take every chance to win and if that means risking getting intercepted or actually losing the game without a fight, so be it.
But 1-12.....that's mind-boggling.
To get a true sense of it, you can forget the traditional “fourth-quarter comeback” or “game-winning drive” metrics, which are far too liberal and credit a quarterback for scores anytime in the fourth quarter. You can also forget “one-score game” totals, which can be diluted because an offense will operate far differently if playing for a field goal rather than a touchdown.
A true “clutch” situation should be viewed as when a team is down 4-8 points late in a game, when they need a touchdown.
Here’s how Prescott has done as a passer when down 4-8 points in the final four minutes of games compared to the NFL average since he entered the league in 2016:
That is… not good.
- Passer rating: Prescott 70.6 vs. NFL avg 76.5
- Yards per attempt: Prescott 5.9 vs. NFL avg 6.7
- Touchdown rate: Prescott 2.8% vs. NFL avg 4.6%
- Interception rate: Prescott 2.8% vs. NFL avg 3.7%
- Sack rate: Prescott: 7.7% vs. NFL avg 5.3
At a point in games when aggressiveness is more acceptable, the only thing Prescott does at an above-average rate is avoid interceptions (well, until the Seattle game). There’s something to be said for living to play another down, but Prescott hasn’t been able to translate his dropbacks into yards or touchdowns in the clutch at even the rate of a league-average passer.
Now, obviously anytime we filter down to specific situations like this one, we have to consider the small sample size — Prescott has only 78 career dropbacks in these situations — but you couldn’t blame Jones if he looks fondly on the days of Romo, who has a decisive edge over Prescott across the board in the clutch:
As for Mahomes, his clutch numbers are on a whole other stratosphere…
- Passer rating: Romo 95.3 vs. Prescott 70.6
- Yards per attempt: Romo 7.3 vs. Prescott 5.9
- Touchdown rate: Romo 5.8% vs. Prescott 2.8%
- Interception rate: Romo 2.2% vs. Prescott 2.8%
- Sack rate: Romo 2.1% vs. Prescott 7.7%
- Passer rating: Mahomes 122.6 vs. Prescott 70.6
- Yards per attempt: Mahomes 8.9 vs. Prescott 5.9
- Touchdown rate: Mahomes 8.8% vs. Prescott 2.8%
- Interception rate: Mahomes 0.0% vs. Prescott 2.8%
- Sack rate: Mahomes 1.7% vs. Prescott 7.7%
I did a post on this awhile back. 2016 where he was a bus driver, with Zeke wearing defenses Dak’s, obfuscated this perception he was ‘clutch’.

These were the stats and then he got injured. Notice a clear trend. He’s NEVER been a drop-back passer. He’s not even league average.
I was going to reply "yes" then I realized the op asked is he was "clutch" not a "crutch".
So no.
That’s why 2020 stats were a joke in the five games he played. His stans said Dak didn’t have enough time, but his QBR rating was like 50 QBR with a whopping upper 4 Yards per completion, and 0 TDs and 1 INT. It was all garbage stats with defenses playing the clock.
Wilson dropped pass lololol. Was the zeke pass the flip on the scramble?? If so that’s a joke too
screams bus driver at best to me.

yeah, I had a discussion with Adam a few years ago on this board about the importance of the run game which he showed “statistically” was not important to winning in the NFL. After I questioned him a little he admitted that he was using data collected by someone else, he had no way of knowing the accuracy of the data, that the data was NOT based on context or matched by circumstances, and there was no correction for multiplicity and not a multivariate analysis (so had not been corrected for confounding factors). Yep, this is that guy now asking for “posting similar data”
he was just posting stuff not expecting others to know something about statistics LOL
