You didn't watch Mahomes (and Allen) put on a clinic in how to avoid pressure Sunday night, did you.
C-roy says Dak is better than both what's wrong with you, hater, but what a game a shame both couldn't have won. Those two really have arm talent.

Oh yah, I watched it. But the last 3 minutes or so the defense was gassed. Little to no pressure on both sides.

that’s what makes those 2 elite. Ability to avoid pressure and make big plays.
You can't make this kind of stuff up, C-Roy go to Cabo your brain needs a break.

Took the liberty of counting up the top 4 wr catches on each of the following teams. This is only Wrs...

Dallas: 227
Buffalo: 262
SD- 246
Cincy- 227
Rams- 267
GB- 217
Min- 235
TB- 250


So out of the top teams that I looked at, Dallas is not last and some of the teams ahead didn't have a TE with 79 catches.

Another fallacy exposed.
What you didn’t expose. Was how many went to how many different receivers. Most of those yards went to Jason. Patrick was never truly involved. How many yards did he have

in daks defense, it isnt just the qb that needs to be clutch.
it is the OC,HC, and other players. they all need to be clutch.

for example if a qb is given crap plays to run, the result is going to be crap , unless he can ad lib, and you can only ad lib so much.

fans said same about romo, but same thing bad plays, plan, are not going to help a qb score.

Dak and romo were not able to call their own plays, they can change plays, or do 1 of 3 variations, but the OC is also to blame for not
giving the right plays at the right time.
The HC and OC have to also have players and plays ready for those situations. Dallas rarely are ready.

This last game last play shows just how inept the coaching and plays are.

As a qb, you cant take crap and turn it into gold except occasionally.
Romo was great at ad libing , extending a play and finding something, way better than dak, but it was not something he could do all the time.
Your right Dak was giving a crap play, but he should of went down a lot sooner. He should be aware of the clock. He also shouldn't panic and had the ball to the ref (like Larry Fitzgerald used to do) It was the coaches who called the stupid play so they have major blame for the outcome. Not only the play, but the team didn't look prepared. And the biggest amount of blame should go to Jerry for the puppet coaches he hires.

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.

Can be. That’s Dak’s problem and why he is so polarizing, has played elite against good teams, has played poor against good teams. has played elite against bad teams, has been mediocre against bad teams too.
We just need Dak to be consistent. We’ve seen his play best against the best a few times. We just need him to do it more consistently.

Basically he’s Kirk Cousins

Defenses have solved Dak. Give him the outside stuff, and a crowded middle.
He'll hold the ball.
Game over

Spot on. backed up by Ward's comments on the 49'ers game plan, which just confirmed what fans eyes told them.

People can throw in the play calling or whatever distraction they want, but an elite QB will process and find a receiver. Check out the Tampa game, Dak took advantage of a beaten up secondary....particularly remember Adams being constantly targeted as being out matched.

What is just wrong is fans apportioning blame and excuses to other factors of the offense without accepting that Dak is not the multi-talented QB that can win games with his own abilities (ala Mahomes, Allen, Brady, Rodgers and poss Jackson).

We may well improve with an influx of talent on the O-Line (but due to DAK's contract and limited CAP that may be difficult, unless fans think the 25th pick is going to a day 1 starter) and we may improve if he (and Zeke) regains his own ability to run to help de-clutter the crowded center.

Unfortunately, Coop and CeeDee's comments and body language appears to support that Dak is central to struggles.

he also needs better coaches, dak cant do it with bozo coaches.
What defenses are doing now could be overcome, with better game plans and scheming.

Stop the excuses, the plays in front of him. You cant blame the coaching if players are open and Romo was calling out the 'open' receivers he missed all (49ers) game. Why is Coop expressing his concerns at the amount of opportunities he's getting....he's not complaining about the routes he's given he's complaining that Dak (for whatever reason: confidence or accuracy) just isnt throwing to him.

Thinking about it ...... we could: stretch the field (ala Wilson), scramble and throw out of the pocket (ala Allen or Mahomes), use the run ala Jackson, Murray, Mahomes, Allen) or he could stand in the pocket and hope that everyone around him produces a dead cert outcome (ala Cousins or Carr).

I can only see Dak being able to achieve the last of those options. It's not a dig at him, it's just the reality......he's good but limited, but the contract he's got he (or we) can no longer apportion blame, with the money comes the responsibility.....we paid him by disbanding the cavalry, it's not coming you're on your own kid.

The only way to possibly save Dak is to m9ve him around. I don't mean run the ball with him. I mean rolls and boots, RPOs at least 50% of time. Even then defenses are living in his head so IDK

Thank you for a reasonable answer.

Again, you're right. If you know he's staying in the pocket any DC is going to be able to work out the angles he can thrown and cover accordingly. If I can work that out im sure ANY DC will be thinking the same and as you say it'll be in Dak's head.

The best form of Defense is to make the Offense play to a weakness or in a manner of there choosing.
