We will punt more on 4th downs nd lose more games...What else is new. Our WR's can't separate and Dak cannot thread a football downfield. Dak is the epitome of the "Check-down Charlie" QB. We should have known, the draftniks predicted it!
That is a narrative that a lot of people are pushing— but the facts/stats don’t support it.
He has had an amazing 24 game stretch, and a terrible 8 game stretch. No one saw him doing what he did in 2016– and no one dealt with as much adversity as he did as a QB last year (and he is only in his second year after all— but I digress)...
Show me another QB that lost his LT and dealt with more pressure over 8 games than Dak. You’ll also have to show me a QB that lost his offense’s primary weapon (Zeke) for 6 games. And you’ll have to find me a QB that had to keep his team focused throughout a national firestorm surrounding a very public and controversial investigation and suspension.
Got anyone? Thought so... I realize that some “fans” demand results/perfection regardless of curcumstamce or context— but in life, crap happens and last year this team dealt with a very crappy hand, and they came apart down the stretch.
Good leaders learn from mistakes and adversity— and believe it or not— this team may end up being stronger down the line, and Dak a better QB for having had to go through the fire last year.
