Video: Arian Foster on Dak "I think he lost confidence in his game"

[MountaineerCowboy]

Just look at the people that agree with you, that should tell you everything. Don’t you feel embarrassed. Come on you’re smarter than this aren’t you. Your disapproval of Prescott is destroying your ability to reason

What does it mean when nobody agrees with you?

You know, like everything you post?

I didn’t get deer in headlights in the GB playoff game. I’d argue he outplayed Rodgers that game. Hell I’d argue he’s outplayed every single quarterback he’s played in every playoff game.

I think every single team would love to play like the Cowboys did with Romo in 2014 or with Dak in 2016 but then days are long gone.

He was typical Dak in the second half of that game. Interception. Failed to convert with a first down at the fifteen yard line of GB.
He made a few plays. Got some YAC from the receivers. Failed to deliver in the situations that define legacies. Lost a close game.

Same exact thing in the Rams playoff game. Nice first drive followed by five punts. Missed on a handful of excellent opportunities. Made a few plays. Lost a close game.

This ain't fantasy football. He didn't outplay Rogers or Goff in those playoff games.

Stop with the personal insults and try and calm down lol… I already said I don’t hate the guy. I have been pulling for him for years— and will continue to do so. I just refuse to live in denial about his limitations.

You bring up his stats from previous playoff games… He has a career 87.9 QBR and 61% comp % in the playoffs, 6 TDs and 3 INTs. You act like these are “all world” stats or something. Those are just average numbers— at best. Unless you care to dispute them somehow.

He also has started the offense slowly in multiple games— at home— vs GB and SF. Falling behind and scrambling to mount a comeback is NOT the recipe for consistent success— and yet it has become a fairly regular occurrence with Dak and Kellen.

Fix the OL
Get a strong running oriented OL coach
Cut Zeke. Run Pollard. Draft a quality RB.
Control the clock

Do these things, and Dak can be effective. Fail to address them— and we will see more playoff failures from Dak. Sorry if this hurts your feelings.

Why did the Cowboys fall behind by 18 points in Dak's first playoff game against the Packers back in 2016? I'm curious to see what your explanation will be. If you're going to put blame on anyone, you'd better provide some context explaining your reasoning. If not, you're just being lazy with the finger pointing.

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Dak just had the best season of his career on paper. But any initiated fan knew the stats were very hollow.

Dak can win a championship if the line gives him a ton of time to process reads and the running game is dominant. Unfortunately we have an aging line and inconsistent runners.

Jerry betting the house on Dak was a bad move and he knows it. When push comes to shove, Dak folds every time.

Did the offense respond with points when GB went up 18 points? Who is the most critical position and has the most responsibility to orchestrate the offense? Explain your reasoning as to why Dak failed to lead the offense to points…. If not then you are being lazy and simply not expecting much out of your QB.

 

[32BellyOption]

Very obvious Dak had the yips. His issues are mental and if somehow he can get out of his own head and trust what his eyes see I think there’s hope.

What??? So you refuse to explain WHY the Cowboys fell down 18 points because it will destroy your hate/blame narrative, plus prove you don't know what you're talking about or getting upset over. Go rewatch that playoff game. Then get back to me.

Plus, most definitely yes, Dak led the team back from being down 18 points halfway through the 2nd quarter while leading them to tying the game at 31 all with 38 seconds left in regulation. You've got your facts all wrong and are placing blame at the wrong person.

Folds every time? Bunch of lies.

.......he can explain, but its gonna be somebody else's fault

Shakiras hips and a 1-3 playoff record don't lie.....

Shakiras hips and a 1-3 playoff record don't lie.....

Those are team records. Go look at the player's playoff game tapes, stats, QBRs and passer ratings. Different story.

Ok fine…every time unless it’s versus the NFC East.

Why does Dak have a pretty significant drop in completion percentage in his playoff career vs regular season?

 

[Whirlwin]

Rodgers gets deep into the playoffs nearly every year and his team really isn’t that good outside of he and Adams.

Plus, he already has a Super Bowl. Also, if you watch him it’s clear he’s absolutely incredible at what he does.

Rodgers has nothing to prove. He’s done it all.

What are you talking about he’s one for six in the playoffs. Deep into the playoffs because they get a bye week. Other than that it’s only 1out of six games

Nothing to prove, then he should retire because he still trying to prove it.

I love how they try to pretend he's regressed when he hasn't.

Yawn. More from the echo chamber. 37-10. 4400 yards. 69pct completion rate. 104 rating. That’s a good QB. Did he get 14 penalties with 6 pre snap penalties in the biggest game of the year? He did not. Be like a good dog and learn a new trick. Be better. You can’t be this lame always.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Not true. Dak's playoffs results are close to the same in the 60s completions % as his regular seasons stats.

Here...I'm doing your homework for you...

[America's Cowboy]

That's ridiculous. You're picking 1 play where the ball was tipped behind the line of scrimmage, thus changing the direction and speed of the pass that was intercepted? Yet, the Cowboys were down by 15 points halfway through the 3rd quarter, and Dak still brought them back to tie the game at 31 all with 38 seconds left.

Try again.

Be better.

I don’t have a “hate/blame” narrative as you put it. Those are your words. Not mine. Here are the facts:

With Dak as a QB— the Cowboys are:

1-3 in playoff games
Dak has a 87.9 QBR
A 61% comp %
6TDs against 3 INTs

Plenty of other players have made mistakes to hurt Dallas in those games… I am not singling Dak out by saying “only” he has made mistakes. No not at all.

What I am saying— is that his position and ability to execute or not execute affects the game more than any other position. His leadership is legendary. This is “his” team after all.

Does he inspire players around him to play their best football when it matters the most? Brady and Rodgers do. Why do the Cowboys commit 14 penalties and other teams don’t? Why did the Cowboys and Dak go 3 quarters vs SF and only put up 7 points?

Did Dak somehow NOT fail at 2:40 with 3 TOs when we turned it over on downs? Can you explain THAT— or are you unwilling to because it undoes your “enable/justify” Dak narrative lol
