Rams and Saints have two elite quarterbacks having pedestrian games so far

I don't need one. You're going to sit here and tell me the Dallas defense giving up 273 yards on the ground had little to do with the outcome of the game, yet, Dak missing on a 3rd down did? :laugh:

Again, 1 out of 10 on third down. Means the offense gave the ball back to the opposing offense too often. Couldn't get it done. 15 points for almost the entire game.

Offense couldn't get it done either. Stop the excuses.

Drew Brees’ pass in the 4th quarter that was almost intercepted. That’s one that comes to mind. He threw behind the receiver. Missing badly. But of course you were in the bathroom changing a tampon at that time right???
Come on man. Man up and give us your TRUE REASON for hating Dak. Don’t be a coward about it.

Provide. the. videos/gifs.

Show me these. I want to see if they are as bad as throwing a ball 5 feet higher than your RB while he stands still waiting for a dumpoff. Please, provide them. I'll wait LOL

That wasn’t all on Dak though. He played pretty well. Our running game was derailed and the offensive strategy went to crap.

No, he didn't. We had 15 points for almost an entire 4 quarters. No matter how you slice it, he was not playing "pretty well" - he couldn't get the job done on an important down. He missed a wide open player down the field. Missed 4 open wide receivers ON THE SAME PLAY.

That is not "pretty well" - those types of plays change the outcome of games.

The offense sucked even if the defense sucked. It was a team loss, I'm not doubting this, but Prescott was part of it.

Anyone that thinks Dak is on the same level as these two QBs doesnt realize that the difference is the ability to throw the ball into an accurate spot so the WR or RB or TE doesnt have to stop running. Its also consistency. Dak makes throws but he sure does miss them high and wide too. And yes all QBs miss throws but its who makes more of the good throws. Daks arm loses accuracy the farther he has to throw downfield. And Yes all QBs lose accuracy the farther the target but once again its about who makes more accurate throws down the field. Dak can do what a lot of these QBs can do but the problem is he cant do it anywhere near as consistent. 1-10 on 3rd down conversion in that Rams game is just an example of how important 3rd down conversions are to winning playoff games. Daks inaccuracy is affecting all aspects of this team. If your ok with mediocre seasons and a big regular season win once in a while than Daks your man. If you want to win playoff games and a SB Dak is a boy among men when it comes to his physical abilities as a QB.

These people dont see that if the offense could just convert some 3rd downs and give the defense a chance to catch thier breath that could be helpful. The defense was so gassed it wouldnt of mattered if they made any adjustments. Where were all these dink and dunk 5 yard plays to move the ball. Dallas offense was smothered and did nothing until the Rams took thier foot off Daks neck when they went up 20-7

Being one dimensional in the passing game had hurt this team more than people realize.

It’s all excuses for this team. They act like disparity was that far off. The Rams has five drives and the Cowboys 4 the first half. If Rams controlled the TOP by that much, it’s because the Dallas offense kept flailing away. Dallas actually had a much higher pass-run ratio the whole first half, meaning Dak’s arm was the reason the drives ended in failures. Their most successful drive after the first scripted one, was when Zeke averaged 8 YPC on the drive, but Dak sacked himself out of field goal range.

Yup.

Think of Dak vs top QBs as doing repair work.

Some settle for "good enough". Those people will do average work, poor prep, but try to present a decent product when it's not, as long as the customer sees a shiny product they'll think highly of it.

Then you have other companies that take the time to do the job right. They don't settle for "good enough" they make sure that you're getting the best product.

Customers generally don't care what they get as long as it works NOW and it's cheap. That's Dak and his diehard defenders. The people that truly care won't settle for average quality, they want long term solutions.
