Dear Dak Haters

[MountaineerCowboy]

QUICK...

who here can explain why the greatest qb's in the league (Mahomes, Rodgers, Allen, Herbert etc) are all sitting home with Dak this week?

These RIDICULOUS brainless arguments about other teams' progression in the playoffs are just exhausting.

Easy.

All 4 of those QBs you named above could not possibly make it to the Super Bowl because only 2 teams play in the Super Bowl game.

Stafford and Burrow are top tier QBs also.

So great QBs will be watching other great QBs in the Super Bowl every single year.

 

[Ranched]

Doesn't matter how many weapons a quarterback has when he doesn't have the proper coaches on the sidelines. Shanahan made Jimmy G look good as did McVay with Stafford as did Reid with Mahomes as did Taylor with Burrow as did Belichick with Mac. All top notch head coaches.

 

[Miller]

Why do people use the argument “Brady, Mahomes, Rodgers are home too.” So are they supposed to win or be in the SB every year? Mahomes has been to 4 AFCCGs and 2 SBs and Dak and our team are 1-3 with a talented roster. It’s a horrible argument for anything. “Look they failed too.”

 

[JBS]

If Matt Stafford was the Cowboys QB we'd be in the Super Bowl this year too.

We have the team. We don't have the QB.

Remember when ya'll said "Just get Dak a good defense!". Well, he got a top 5-10 defense this year. It didn't matter.

Hahahahahahahahaha this is a joke right?

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Hahahahahahahahaha this is a joke right?

You were one of the "Just give Dak a good defense and watch out" posters, huh?

Ouch....

Because only two teams can make it?

Mahomes has a superbowl and played in multiple, Rogers has a superbowl, Allen simply got bested by Mahomes, and Herbert is on year 2 and plays on what seems to be the AFC version of the Cowboys.

Dak is 1-3 in the postseason....That is certainly not all on Dak but he is approaching Romo territory. Good enough to win the whole damn thing with a good enough team, but next year is year 7 for his career.

The good news for the Cowboys is the majority of great young QBs seem to be in the AFC (Maholmes, Burrow, Allen, Herbert, etc). The NFC has lost Brady to retirement, possibly losing Rogers, Wilson may be on the move. There is a chance that Stafford may be the class of NFC qbs going into next season. I'd rather have stafford, but i'm not sure the gap between Dak & Stafford is that huge.

 

[MajesticRey]

Ummm doesn’t Dak have 3 stud WRs, 2 capable RBs and other weapons? Stafford was still good with Lions. The Lions are a trash franchise. Your comparison really makes no sense. Are you saying we have to give Dak more so he doesn’t wet the bed in a playoff game?

Mahomes has been to 4 AFCCGs and 2 SBs. I don’t get it

Dak is not free of blame, but the point of the thread is that even the best QBs don’t automatically win.

With Dak, we need a good OL and running game so we can perform at level like the first half of this past season.

 

[Ken]

LOL, when you cant refute my point, use personal attacks


Be a man for once and stop with the attacks

Simp world speaks to you lack of depth in any argument that you post.

You are certainly not alone in this phenomena...it seems to be the norm anymore.

 

[freemanjc19]

The Dak argument/debate is getting old. I've moved on to the draft. DAK is our QB for the forseeable furture and we should just deal with it and move on.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Stafford just put together 3 straight great games vs. quality opponents on this playoff run. Not sure when Dak has done that even in the regular season. You don't get to play a bunch of bad teams in the playoffs. It usually takes great QB play to go all the way. You don't have to be an elite QB but like Eli or Foles proved, you have to make elite plays in big moments like they were able to.

The Cowboys offense has come out flat in almost every one of Dak's playoffs games. You can't expect to win like this when you get off to slow starts and just hope for a great 4th quarter...that's not sustainable.

Cowboys Offense - Points Scored After 3 Quarters in Dak's Playoff Games:
vs. Green Bay - 13 points
vs. Seattle - 10 points
vs. LA - 15 points
vs. SF - 7 points

^The Cowboys trailed in all games leading into the 3rd quarter. Considering the offense is where most of the money has been spent on the team, you'd expect the offense to lead the way in the playoffs.

No argument here. Love the guy or despise him Dak is the Cowboys QB for at least the next two years. Build around him the best you can and reevaluate in 2024.

Men are having a conversation here. If you cant take the heat, maybe this thread or board isnt for you.

Ok let me chime in ..to fit in....

Dak Sucks
40 Million
Need REAL qb.

Right. Considering only one QB a season wins it all, you can’t expect success every year. You are right we have warts but we also have enough talent to win in the playoffs so I don’t buy that it’s a “team game” when we have a talented team. We..Dak included…seem to play our most subpar in the playoffs.

 

[kwcool619]

2 of them choked (Rodgers and Mahomes) but have won A SB already and are constantly in the Championship game

1 was failed by his Head Coach

1 didnt even make the playoffs but is only in his second season


You’re better than this (I THINK)

I agree but in Herbert's case his head coach had failed him too.

 

[JBS]

You were one of the "Just give Dak a good defense and watch out" posters, huh?

Ouch....

Wasn’t me. How many bricks you want to toss up?

Stafford going to solve 14 penalties?? Lolol. What a stupid comment. Par for the course.

Dak is not an elite QB, so I don’t expect him to play well versus the better playoff teams unless we have a solid OL and run game. We have some talented skill players, but our QB isn’t the type to go out there and win a game by throwing all day.

I have argued for years on this forum and elsewhere that football is the ultimate team game.

Time and Time again, "internet experts" keep telling me "it's the QB... it's the QB"

Can you "eXpErTs" explain to me how this can be true when the exact same QB in Matt Stafford that "couldn't win a playoff game" is now in the Super Bowl? Could it be that his TEAM is in the Super Bowl and he didn't have that level of TEAM when in Detroit?

How are Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes sitting at home? Could it be that their TEAMS didn't play well enough to win?

Dak is more than capable of going to and winning the super bowl. But HE and the TEAM have to put it all together.

Dak is playing on a team that is loaded with talent and he couldn't win a playoff game. Dak wont get a better team than the one he had this year. Average quarterbacks makes mistakes like Dak did on that final play. They don't show up in big games. Quarterbacks make more than the other players on the team so they must be a more important position. The quarterbacks you mentioned Arron Rodgers, Patrick Mahomes won a superbowl and MVP. Matt Stafford is going to the Superbowl, Dak isn't even close. If Dak played on another team most people wouldn't even know who he was.

This same appeal was made many times before Prescott was drafted. I agree with you but...

...welll I will let Newt say it.
