A Tale of Two QB's

[nobody]

Team playoff losses. The whole team made mistakes in the playoffs, not only Dak.

This is precisely true. Dak wasn't the only choker in the playoffs. But he doesn't get excused either. There's only one playoff game loss that was mostly on him, that was the second 49er playoff game. Even then, we had players slacking, like Digg's business decision not to tackle.

Agreed, brother. Also, it didn't help that Amari was gone after the 2021 season which made it much harder for Dak and CeeDee to have any legit chance of advancing in the playoffs with CeeDee being the only legit WR threat on the Cowboys offense during the 2022 playoffs. It was too easy for the 49ers to constantly double team CeeDee and shut down our rushing attack. Plus, our Defense couldn't stop the run and struggled badly to contain the 49ers passing attack. Game, Set & Match - Part 2.

You guys keep sugar coating that despite all of these facts, Dak played poorly in the playoffs losses vs Green Bay and the last 2 San Fran games. The green bay game can be chalked up as a team loss but the San Fran games, that's on offense and the 12 point game that's on Dak.

Until otherwise shown, he chokes in the playoffs. I'm not here for a stat chasing yuppy. Give me Eli manning any day of the week over Dak. Would rather see some NFC championships and superbowls then see Dak homers post how he's top 5 every single year.

Dak's not going anywhere anytime soon, so head on out and follow another team. It's gotten beyond tiresome hearing the yearly whines.

I do follow other teams. That's what is great about not tying yourself down to one team. I can critique 6-7 teams a year.

Because his playoff record is starting to become an outlier for 'franchise qbs.'

Peyton Manning was 3-6 before he won his first Super Bowl. People forget that along with his college career, Manning was viewed as a Playoff choker too. But that 3-6 record also included at least one conference championship loss.

Danny White, the original over achieving franchise QB before Romo and Dak, was 5-5 in Playoffs.

It's not just armchair quarterback fans and shock jocks calling him out on it, even the ex-players call it out in the media now. (although debatable if they're not trying to be shock jocks too)

Best comparison I can think of for Dak is Warren Moon at 3-7 lifetime in the Playoffs, and he didn't even get a chance to start in the NFL until almost age 30.

To be fair on Peyton.. he did make it to 5 AFC Champs and won 4 of them.

And the Patriots were pretty damn good at the time.
