Twitter: Dak against playoff teams

[Rockport]

"There are three things a wise man fears,
The sea in a storm,
The forest at night,
and the fury of a patient man."

Or the wrath of a woman.

 

[Rockport]

This is the perfect example of the saying "stats are for losers".

Dak is a good qb. But his stats are over-inflated in some caeses bc he often puts up "monster" stats while playing from behind. When you have to throw and defenses are playing the clock and soft coverage.

And this isn't even talking about years like the one with Big Mac, where he broke the td record as the Cowboys were running up the score on teams in games that were pretty much out of reach.

This is the perfect example of saying “it’s all Dak’s fault”. When a QB becomes one one-dimensional having to always pass, the defense focuses on the pass attack. The fact that Dak does so well under that pressure is one reason why he’s ranked so high. He’s amongst the leaders under pressure. Just another day in the office for him.

TheRunningMan needs to run to TheBurningMan and regenerate.

What really kills this dumb argument though is that it insinuates Dak is the only one who benefits from trailing. Every qb trails. Every qb faces “prevent”.

Actually it doesn't. It's PECULIAR to Dak. He CHOKES when there is pressure and then when the game is out of hand and almost unwinnable...he starts to "fight back".

Almost true. A wise man never incurs her wrath, just her admiration. He leaves that to the suckers who want to argue with her.

The defense also relaxes when they are up by 3 scores. Dak doesn't stay competitive in big games...HE CHOKES! Often the game is pretty much out of reach by the time he "finds" his "groove".

I figured you’d be the one chains.

Just your opinion. And we all know you’re here only to trash the QB. It’s pretty much all you do here.

No, my friend. Dak is put into passing situations more often than is desirable because the team is playing down by 2-3 scores most of the time. At that stage, the opposing team is not "focusing" on pressuring the WRs and the QB; they are just letting plays develop downfield that eat up time, avoiding the big play. Where Dak's issue is, is when the games are close, and they are putting real pressure on him and the O, and that is when he can turn into a deer in the headlights persona he has. Hence the moniker he has had to live with, "garbage time". Not really his fault, but it's out there

The defense can pull back their ears and rush the QB without having to worry about the run. Even with all that pressure he still succeeds more the most but it makes it tough to keep drives going when you get sacked or the oline gets a holding penalty. Etc.

What you have hit on is why there is importance in having a running game and having a threat out of the backfield on those types of plays. Forget about garbage time stats a QB can put up, think about how much easier it was for Dak to control games last year when we had Javonte as a real threat. Oh, to remember the days when our team had an Emmit running for 100 yards in a game, and we were basically unbeatable. Dak has 2 WR1s and a legit RB1 next to him on the line, and with competent line play last year, opposing D couldn't just bull rush at all times. The very very very important stats are below, and they're not stats attainable by 1 player on offence:

- 6th in the NFL in points per drive
- Scored on 45% of drives (seems high...but)
- Time of possession- mid-range in the NFL, and they had the ball on half about half the time
- Led the NFL in longest sustained drives in he first half of the year

It's really easy to understand if you are open to understanding that every single player on the Dallas Cowboys offence contributed to the above, not Dak being great under pressure as the reason...the only way to be great at a craft is to have what I laid out

No, what I have hit on is that defenses can focus on passing and passing only. You just don’t have the cognitive ability to take into considerations the TEAM and how it’s performing. It’s just hate, hate hate with you and others. Meanwhile those that know what they’re talking about say he’s top 10. Y’all look ridiculous.

Dak plays great against playoff teams in the regular season.

In the playoffs

In the 2 games he has won he had 5 TD's and 1 INT
In the 5 games he has lost he had 9 TD's and 6 INT's

In the 2 games he won the defense let the opposing offense score an average of 18 points.
In the 5 games he lost the defense let the opposing offense score an average of 31 points.

Both he and the defense play poorly in the playoffs compared to the regular season.

Stats are less than irrelevant.

Look at the poise and performance in true clutch moments against real contenders in big moments. That tells you everything.

Is that not literally everyone not named Mahomes, Stafford and Hurtd?

Coming from the guy who has taken more hits to the head than half the population of the U.S.A., that is saying a lot. You truly are a troll and an ignorant person who knows as much about the game of Football as a gerbil. I forgot that I should not have post that required reading, because you are still unable to understand the English language

the problem then is organizational. If one side does their job and the other side doesn't... you can point to one unit. But if both sides do poorly against great teams, it's the organization at fault.

Oh, one more thing, there fella. Actual good football teams do not have to abandon a running game when they are down a couple of scores. But you knew that, right? Because you are smart?
