Is Dak unpopular because it is now a passing league?

[Htown-Cowboy]

It’s now a passing league, high flying league. It’s not “sexy” to run the ball. Smash mouth football is dying and the NFL set-up the game with new rules for Fantasy Footballers / Fan Duelers to make it exciting to throw for 500 yards a game and end up with a final score of 54-51.

The new generation of football fans don’t understand the advantage of a power run offense and controlling the clock. So, Dak isn’t popular because he’s not a gunslinger. It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, fans these days just want to see long bomb throws all day and don’t care if they go 0-16 while doing it.

Dak isn't popular because he has regressed up until the past few games, has issues with phantom pressure, and makes some bad decisions with the football.

That being said, he's still learning and we'll see if he can get better.

 

[EST_1986]

He’s just not good. He’s ok but without this defense and 21 this team is a top 3 draft pick.

 

[Ranching]

He is unpopular because his coaches are living in the past and can't game plan to his strengths.

The majority of casual football fans dont understand football, or the QB position. Most morons think you can just go out and find Tom Brady. OR that Tom Brady does it all on his own. Or they think that Brady doesnt throw picks or overthrow receivers.

Others actually think that rookie QB's get worse as they gain more experience.

The two throws that Dak missed yesterday for TDs will be the difference between a win and a loss to those "high flying" teams. It's not about popularity, it's about arm talent.

You nailed it.

Another guy that doesnt understand the game.

Its about scoring 3 TD's in 2 minutes in the 3rd quarter to put the game away when it counts.

ITs about making guys like you squirm.

 

[Risen Star]

He's unpopular because fans would like their QB to be able to throw the ball.

We're weird like that.

Just watch. If Dak leads the team to a victory against the Saints next Thursday night, more excuses will come out against him.

I'm quite sure I am not squirming. Sorry that you find it necessary to soil yourself and be all butt hurt because of honest truth about Dak.

I for one will love it. He does make some great plays, usually with his legs. Wish he would hit on some of those easy looks. Maybe it will come with time, but they are going to need it n the coming weeks.

Dak is making you look silly these days. Oline is playing well and he has a real receiver now. How many times did guys like me tell you that was the problem with Dak? Do you think you understand the game a little better now? I know these lessons are hard on you. Seeing as though we have won 3 in a row and in first place now. Almost too much for you to take. Dak is playing great and were winning. Ouch!!!

I wouldnt count on that win.

Agreed. He irks me as well with some of those few easy misses, but he's a dual threat gamer who I'm glad we've got on our side. I believe he will keep getting better.

fans arent stupid. Some in here have watched Aikman (maybe even Staubauch) and then Romo. Those were elite passers with clean, accurate & timely throws. Dak for past 12 games was ranked #26 QB. This isn't difficult to dissect why some aren't all in Dak. The good news is Dak still has 1 1/2 year to win most over.

Why not?

A good young QB that just needed a little blocking and someone that can run routes. Once again you are proven dead wrong. Bounce up and down on that for a while.

 

[CowboyRoy]

Why not?

We simply arent good enough. Brees and the Saints are an entirely new level of football team. Brees wins his second SB this year.
