Basically, this board wants to give no credit to Dak for his stats and I think that's dumb. Garbage time or not, he earned those yards, and thats why he has them. People are just angry that his stats happened in an 8-8 season, as though Dak is to blame for a useless special teams and an underachieving defense. If we had won 10 games, suddenly everyone's perception would be more kind.
People snickering at Dak weren't paying attention. By and large, it wasn't Dak's arm that was killing drives. Drops, penalties, and routes short of the LOS. A couple games were lost by doggedly running on first down when passing was working. Then other games by not running when Zeke was looking good. So many games lost by coaching. Then let's hope Witten gets separation in the biggest moments. Some bad end of game coaching.
Dak's arm could have given us hundreds more yards, and more wins too, if used properly. Similarly, his *legs* could have given us more as well. Dak gave us a lot this year, and he had more to give that the coaches failed to take.
The offense should have produced much more last year, and without the Garrett drama, and with McCarthy directing Moore, I see an offense that should produce big this year.
Dak had a horrible game against the Eagles. Most off target of this career, let alone the season. Which is the more reasonable explanation, that Dak simply couldn't hit the broad side of a barn in one game, sandwiched by two 40+ point, 125+ QBR games, for no particular reason beyond personal variability, or that the shoulder injury was the cause of the inaccuracy?
Team game, including coaches. Dak was our best skill player. People dogging Dak are trapped in judging a QB by the team record, instead of what *he* does to contribute to it.
