The reality is, Troy never had a 20 TD season,
He had 23 in 1993...

not true hes run 5 different style of offense including the one with 50 tds when he had Moss threw it all over the place.. Brady can ne any type you need him to be to win games and BB makes sure they have the one best suited for the layers they have..hes dinked and dunked ie Bus drivers but brady can sling it as well and very well..Yeah, Brady is a bus driver, but he has Belichick as his navigator. Dak has Garrett.
It’s a team stat until it fits your hate agenda narrative.His “resume?”
Let me guess...are you feeling the urge to trot out W/L record, which is a team stat?

Right now top 10
Brady, Rogers, Wilson, Brees, and maybe Mahomes although id like to see a bit more from him are in the Elite group of tier one
Tier one after them
Big Ben, Rivers, Luck, and maybe Ryan.
tier two 10-15 range any order can be debated Dak at least makes this list
Stafford
Foles
Cousins(way overpaid)
Baker
Wentz
Dak?
Carr?(way overpaid)
Alex Smith when healthy
Eli
Winston
Mariotta
Flacko
after that who cares but dak is 10-15 and should be paid that way but using Carr and Cousins as not to do lessons..Even Stafford as well..
I sure would wait to give dak rediclous money until Wentz , Winston, and Mariotta gets offers to really see his so called Market
If he is....I hope he drives that muther like Clint Eastwood in The Gauntlet.

Man please. In 1991-1995 only 8 QBs threw for more than 4k yards.
Moon-3
Marino-2
Elway-1
Young-1
Bledsoe-1
Favre-1
Mitchell-1
George-1
Troy ranked top 10 once and top 5 once. In an era with greater QBs. Dak has only finished top 15 once. And before you say “b b but we are a run first team, Troy had the greatest RB of all time on his team.
Out of all those 4k yard seasons, none of those QBs had running backs in the top 5 in rushing.
Stop. Comparing. Bums. To. Legends. People
No. We will know for sure this year with an OC that will take the training wheels off and open up the passing offense.

Bus driver to me means a quarterback who can't win a game when the team is not playing well. Dak, if for no other reason than his legs, can win and has won in that case.
So for me, no he's not a bus driver, but also not a top-10 quarterback, at this time.
Some would say 3 years is long enough for him to develop, but again to me it's not, mainly because a 4th round quarterback isn't considered to be "NFL ready", otherwise he'd been drafted earlier. For example, Drew Bledsoe didn't do that well until his 4th year, ratings of 65.0, 73.6 and 63.7 his first 3 years, then his 4th year he hit 83.7. Not every quarterback develops at the same rate, it's entirely plausible that Dak has been hamstrung by coaching at least to some degree. Aikman credits Norv Turner with getting him to a high level, so coaching can and does make a difference.
But no doubt Dak is getting close to the point that if he's going to get better it will show, this year I'm hopeful we'll see a noticeable improvement...
*4th down passer rating, because unless it's very short yardage, its not a running down. How many Zeke carries did Dak have in those 4th quarters? How many times did the defense have less than 8 in the box? less than 7 in the box? Context matters.
Yes, context does matter. which is why citing a stat based on 20 snaps without that context or without the context of the game situations for those stats isn't indicative of very much at all. In the case of the 4th down passing stat, it's based on 3 picks on 20 attempts. We don't know down, distance, time on clock, anything. There's a big difference between a hail mary getting picked as time expires and missing double coverage on 4th and makeable, for example.
Everyone has their own perspective of Dak. Great, Good, Average, or Bus Driver are all what the conversations are about. We all will argue until the cows come home on who is right and how much money he deserves. Here is what we know that we cannot dispute. He is the QB of the Cowboys. He has very good stats even if you don't like how he got them. He has the utmost respect of his teammates and the front office. His record is extremely good even if you don't believe he is responsible for those wins, that is just how the NFL views it. He is going to get extended before the season if not way before now that Wilson has extended his contract. He is going to get paid way more than most will like or believe he deserves. He is not going to be traded regardless of what anyone believes we can get.
And he will be the starting QB for Dallas when we start the 2019 season. Like it, don't like it, hate it, love it, it just comes down to being a fan and hoping Dallas wins every game and we get in the playoffs and win the Super Bowl. Will the bantering stop, heavens no, probably just get ratcheted up a notch. Frankly, I would love it to happen and love reading the threads then would be gold.
