Rockport thinks Dak is better than Jackson I think. He says he’s top 3 and elite, so you’re wrong there. You’d be surprised to see how many would name him better than Wilson, Brees, Jackson, Mahomes, Rodgers, Watson, Allen, etc.
Honestly, I never cared about how many yards or TD’s Dak had. I only wanted wins. I want a game where Dak looks competent and consistent. He doesn’t look like that in many games. I’ll give him props for the Vikes and Lions game even though we lost in the Vikes game. He was nowhere near the reason we lost. All these other games he plays a major part in why we lost. Eagles game? Wide open receivers he either overthrew or didn’t see them at all. Bills game? That interception was dumb. Dirt ball to Zeke on 4th down was abysmal. Bears game? Again. Overthrowing everything. Dirt ball to Zeke on 4th down. Lack of communication with Olawale on that one play. Pats game: playing without the glove for half of the game despite playing much better with it in the 2nd half. Must I continue?
Also, you marvel at the 49ers schedule despite us playing the Commanders twice, Giants twice, Dolphins, Lions, Jets (and losing to them). We had the same chance as the 49ers and we blew it. We actually had a higher chance considering we played in a bad division and the 49ers played in a division that actually gave a crap.
I’ll say it again, everyone will see if/when we overpay Dak.
I think you'll find a tiny amount of posters who say Dak is in the elite category. Any who do are just as silly as those who compare him to the bottom third of QBs. But those exceptions do not prove the rule. Dak is a good QB--not great. I have questions about his mental toughness after this year, but zero questions about his aptitude and ability. Is he the prototype? No. Are there better QBs? Definitely. Is he a guy you can win a super bowl with? I believe he is, with the right coaching and defense.
I know we're spoiled by the likes of Aikman and Staubach. Dak isn't one of them. But he is a good player that can win in the league, and he is not a disadvantage you have to coach around like Jimmy G or Kirk Cousins.
