Dak Top 5. Let's talk argument against it

[thunderpimp91]

No those things have nothing in common. Pure nonsense.

Agreed. It’s far more rational to grade a GM on wins and losses than it is a QB.

Not at all. You're making that up. I disagree with that statement completely. Now go find someone who actually feels that way and call them out.

Dak spats are always loaded to the max w/ strawman silliness.

I sort of get what you're saying, but the Cowboys have had some pretty good teams during Dak's run....He had 4 years of a super bowl winning HC in Mccarthy. Up until 2023 the run defense really wasn't horrible and probably closer to league average than people realize with 2020 being a significant outlier season.

I tend to agree that QBs dont win or lose games on their own, but people really go out of their way to create excuses for Dak. Ultimately the Cowboys have not been able to even sniff a champtionship with him on the roster....Is that because he needs to play better? Maybe. Is that because the Cowboys front office just can't field a complete roster? Maybe. Either way it's fair to point out that building around Dak Prescott has not worked out for this team.

Except in the playoffs!!!!!!

Let's look: Rushing D:

2022: 22nd
2021: 16th
2020: 31st
2019: 11th

Interesting. BTW, wasn't trying to prove or disprove anything, was just interested in seeing.

2020, BTW, aligns w/ our Poe/McCoy experiment where we signed 2 DTs who were blatantly obviously on the decline. Their previous team, CAR, had the 29th ranked rushing D w/ those 2 starting.

The run defense absolutely got exposed multiple times in the playoffs, and pretty bad, but this is where the pro Dak crowd has to pick a side….are we judging by overall performance or situationally for the playoffs? We’ve had some good years by overall numbers only to get destroyed against better teams come January. Thats the same argument people use against Dak.

I'm neutral on Dak. I think most fans are. He's neither terrible nor great. Jerry has done him no favors putting a team around him.

The arguments for and against Dak are mostly just casual fan spew.
