Scoring D? That is a complete crapp way to rate a D.

Hurts was not good in 2023. Poor passer rating, as he threw 15 picks. Hurts didn't lead them anywhere, the rushing game did.

There are certainly more variables. This list acts like it's all on the quarterback to overcome the scoring defense. Running game is a factor. Turnovers are a factor. Offensive line is a factor. Receivers are a factor. Special teams is a factor. Coaching is a factor.

Great in the SB though.

Here's some of the other defenses Dak has had:

2016: Ranked 5th in Team Defense (Ezekiel Elliott was also the NFL Rushing Leader)
2018: Ranked 6th in Team Defense (Ezekiel Elliott was also the NFL Rushing Leader)
2021: Ranked 7th in Team Defense, and Ranked 1st in Takeaways
2022: Ranked 6th in Team Defense, and Ranked 1st in Takeaways
2023: Ranked 5th in Team Defense

Poor Dak has never had any help at all. </sarcasm>

Great in the SB though.

In 2023 he lost in the 1st round.

In his super bowl, he wasn't great, the D was. They completely shut down KC.

Hurts was great in both SBs even the loss.

Hurts was great in both SBs even the loss.

He was great in the 1st one. He was a bus driver in the 2nd. The Philly D was phenomenal.

He had 72 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns…..gotta give him his credit.

What am I missing here? If you're only going to use one metric doesn't points allowed make the most sense to use?

 

[Coogiguy03]

Wait until our D is better and you know who declines

 

[kskboys]

He had 72 rushing yards and 3 touchdowns…..gotta give him his credit.

And several TOs early in the game as the D bailed him out. Gotta give the D most of the credit.

Yards allowed is by far the most accurate way to judge a D.

Points allowed would have to extrapolate out the points allowed on TOs and STs and take into account field position and TOP by the O. Every yard allowed on D was allowed by the D. Not every point is.

Not sure on the others, but this botched the Dak line. They used the 2024 team, which was his worst (until maybe last year?), as the worst one in the playoffs. Which is wrong, 2024 wasn't in the playoffs, and the 2023 numbers were much better than what they put on there.

So, they used the 2024 numbers as if it was for the 2023 team.

Edit: The Mahomes line is off as well. The 2018 Chiefs were 24th in points allowed (31st in Yards). So, I think you can safely throw this image out with the trash where it belongs.

Trash. Agree.

How many points did the D score….

More evidence of how valuable Dak is.
