Has the local fire department classified your alter as a bonfire yet?

PFF says their QB ranking is “based on a combination of recent performance and career trajectory”…

I don’t think Dak ranks very high in either of those categories.

My guess is that their definition of “recent” is the last two seasons based off of PFF’s comments about Mahomes. For Dak’s last two seasons, they say “a late-season collapse ended his MVP bid”…that collapse was probably the last 5 games where Dak only threw 5 TDs, had an embarrassingly low 3.1% TD percentage (for comparison sake, his TD percentage up until those last 5 games was 7.2%), where the yardage totals for those 5 games were lower than all the other games that season except 2, and where the wins were against the powerhouse Jets, Giants, and Patriots.

Add on last season’s production—PFF gave him a grade of 67.9 last year, which ranked him #43 out of 78 QBs—and they saw it as a noticeable regression from where he was during the first half of the 2023 2nd-runner-up-MVP season. Add on his injury history, future injury concerns, his salary maybe-possibly making him a cap casualty soon, and maybe even his age, and it’s not hard to see them viewing Dak’s “recent performance and career trajectory” in a rather negative light.

tl:dr version — I don’t think they gave a single flying **** about his 2nd place finish in the MVP voting 2 years ago.

It also explains why Baker Mayfield is ranked higher than Dak: 2 years younger, no recent injury concerns, noticeable improvement from 2023 to 2024, impressive postseason stats.

A fair ranking.

Would be higher if he could muster some wins against quality opponents

That is not a fair ranking at all.

Coming off of an injury, I get it. "What have you done for me lately" (Janet Jackson voice) League.

Used to be a time when you would throw TDs
Used to brag about it all the time
Your fans seem to think that you're so peachy-keen
But experts say regress is all you’ll find
Who's right?

What have you won for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
What have you won for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah

Used to go to home games almost every year
Cheered until I thought I'd lose my voice
Now it seems your injured a** is always on the bench
Good thing for Coop or else we'd have no choice
Ain't that a shame?

What have you won for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
What have you won for me lately?
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah

Your stats say that you’re better than you seem
But that ain’t the truth
You fans think that you're God's gift to this team
I'm tellin' you, no way

They say to be thankful for the empty stats
But empty stats are all you seem to give
You're always sayin' “In the best shape of my life”
But photos show you’ve gained a ton
Who's right, who's wrong?

Highest paid QB isn't even a top 10 QB

 

[pitt33]

That is not a fair ranking at all.

Oh yeah?

Maybe that ranking is too high?

Well, what do you think he should be?
