Twitter: For fans concerned about Dak passing under 200 yards

[PhillyCowboysFan]

The fact that you posted a stat that you seem to proud to have sourced without thinking about how flawed it was is very interesting.

Since 2008 this only occurred 11 times with 32 NFL teams? That is barely 1 game per year...

Ouch!

 

[Philmonroe]

That's a 31- game sample. You want to try to explain how ALL 31 QB with a 94-96 rating happened to be facing bad teams?

Do you think QB who face good teams can't post a 95 rating for some reason?

I don't care how many games sample it is if we don't know how good the teams were. I'm not going to try to explain anything that I didn't post on. I spoke on who were the teams not what you asked. I know y'all love Alex I mean Dak but he is just ok. You disagree that's cool.

Romo went 15 for 19 with two touchdowns, while Murray fumbled and the defense gave up 316 yards to Rogers who was injured and 101 rushing yards Lacy.

Romo also had a deep pass that was incorrectly ruled incomplete. He played a pretty perfect game...

Except those 3 bad sacks and fumbled snap on 3rd down. I guess people are right, ain't gonna win playoff games throwing for less than 200.

Romo carried his weight in the game. The defense did not.

Trust me you do NOT want to argue numbers with @AdamJT13 . That dude will school you and steal your lunch money!

Agree and not think twice of doing it.

 

[Philmonroe]

I don’t remember fans complaining about Romo passing for less than 200 yards against GB in the playoffs. Take away his short pass to TWill who took it the distance and Romo was close to 150 yards.

The defense, Murray, and Bailey were faulted for that game and Romo was praised for a masterful performance.

Here we go with the disingenuous part of the thread. Nobody is crapping on Dak for one or two games of 200 yards. People are saying that's starting to become his norm and that won't win nothing in the playoffs.

All you have to do is mention Romo and the excuses will follow. Guaranteed.

Dak carried his weight Sunday night and we have all these discussions about 200 yards.

 

[Chrispierce]

I agree,efficiency and not turning it over will win you a lot of games over...300 yards and 3 ints. Would I like Dak to improve on his game? Heck yes....he needs to do that,and become a better passer. But he did good last game,and if he keeps improving,they’ll be fine. To me,If he works out,he works out. If he doesn’t,they’ll put someone else in there soon. Not the end of the world. Like what have we won in the last couple decades anyways? Not a darn thing. So keep at it,and we’ll all know by seasons end what direction is the right one to take either way.

 

[Philmonroe]

Since 2008, teams with less than 200 yards passing, 6.2 to 6.4 YPA and 0 interceptions are 11-0 against winning teams, including 10-0 against playoff teams.

Ok this is something that at least has weight against winning teams. Props

 

[Bigdog]

There are a lot of fans who value stats as much or more than winning.

Yes they are called fantasy players, lol.

Why don't you ask Adam to come up with a stat for how many games you win when you allow 400 yards and 26 points versus how many you lose... Guaranteed it isn't a high number...

 

[aikemirv]

I would like to see the defensive stats for the winning teams in those games

 

[Cebrin]

What about quarterbacks who hold the ball for half an hour before throwing it, or taking a sack?

 

[Aviano90]

Why don't you ask Adam to come up with a stat for how many games you win when you allow 400 yards and 26 points versus how many you lose... Guaranteed it isn't a high number...

Don't need it. Just making an observation. I knew exactly what the reaction was going to be.

He did? 1 Passing touchdown, under 200 yards passing? 16/25 on passing attempts? Didn't realize that was carrying his weight.

Brad Johnson 18/34 215 yrds won Superbowl. Peyton Manning 13/23 141 yrds won the Superbowl.

 

[Ranching]

He better start winning and winning which includes passing the team down field ..... sorry but QB have to do that once and awhile lol....or his Tim Tebow fate awaits Dak...

Chatta....

 

[Galian Beast]

Don't need it because it doesn't mesh with your agenda... sounds about right.

The fact that Adam showed 11 games against winning teams and 10 against playoff teams over a 10 year period should tell you everything you need to know about how hard it is to consistently beat good teams without effective passing games.

If Dak can pass for ~10 ypa in subzero weather, nobody reasonable would be complaining. Passing for sub 6.5 ypa in an indoor stadium against a mediocre defense with no offensive support is something else.

 

[unionjack8]

BTW .......is this from our own Cowboy Zone poster to Bob Sturm?

what about when you average 6.5 yards? 6.1? seems pretty picky stats to me?
