Why Dak still sucks

I have been one of Dak's biggest detractors. He played a good game, played within himself played within the scheme. Until he strings together games I still see him as jekyl and hyde dependent on "perfect storm" games where they stay on schedule, OL gives him ton of time, very few offensive penalties and the defense provides short fields. The coaching is the same way. They stay conservative until points are "guaranteed" and then they get creative. The offense is not some supercharged mustang tearing down the drag strip, it is more a Hyundai Excel in bracket race. But also I think Jax had a lot of new guys playing snaps so their gameplan was hindered by guys just signed this week.

Nice breakdown bro...

I agree with all of this. The only thing I will say for him and people on the other side is I applaud their consistency. If the guy don't like Dak as a qb he should point this stuff out now because if you don't while it seems to be going good you'll get the did you say this when he was winning stuff.

For me the same way he earned his lack of confidence in him he'd have to do the same thing for me and others to switch views on that. Some will allow themselves to be bamboozled by anything just to get their emotional high. Not me. I'm glad we won but this doesn't change my view on Dak by itself. He'd have to play like this more than once every 6 weeks for me to switch my position on him.
Nicely put.

In the third quarter ALONE, Dak THREW it nine times and the tenth was when he broke pocket after spinning into the DT to the right, but escaped for that gain. Dak homers, as justification for the fact he couldn’t break 200 yards passing, are pinning this like the Cowboys just decided to stop passed. Dak tried PASSING around 70% of the time in third quarter and his most successful play was when he broke pocket on a three man rush, almost spinning himself into a sack.

He made one awful throw that should on the almost INT by Ramsey and the other, series when Heath put them at the Jaguars 8, he threw it twice and cane away with a field goal. The problem with the Ramsey throw was that it was right after Kaguars matched up the field and scored a TD, meaning it could have easily shifted the momentum and put it at 24-14 if they had any competent offense. The next field goal was the off worst throw in NFL history by Bortles to Heath.

Then came the fumble by the Jags and Dallas decided they had enough and ran it with Zeke pretty much every time.

The Jaguars basically adjusted after their incompetent first half and Dak was Dak. The defense also got its TOs against this garbage Jags offense that turned it over five times last week and allowed the Cowboys to pull ahead while Dak floundered passing.

The point being Dak couldn’t even break 200 yards passing when he was still TRYING.

Dak is not pocket passer and we should no longer judge him that way. Needs to run 10 times game to be effective. The question now is can he sustain that playing style weekly the rest of his career. If this coaching staff tries to go back to Dak sitting in pocket making reads...they should be fired on spot.

How negative of a person do you have to be to not even enjoy this kind of win for 24 hours?

So, it's safe to assume you have not bought a Dak jersey?

When the team wins its because of the team they were up against and when the team loses its because of the team itself. Got it.
Common refrain by some posters on this forum. Dallas wins and they haven’t played anyone, Dallas loses and they are garbage. Once again I will say it, there are no easy games in the NFL. NFL teams are very close in talent, unlike college teams that can vary greatly in talent level. The Jaguars are one of the most talented defensive teams in the league. There is no shame in beating them.
