Yup. The typical hater approach. Always move the goal post.

He said he hated the Cowboys. I was wondering what does a Bills fan have against the Cowboys. I don't hate the Bills. It's been a long time but then it hit me. Oh yeah, the beat downs.

Of course he does.This guy said Dak is accurate and has arm talent.
On any given Sunday.
Just not every Sunday.
We need it every Sunday and he needs to start playing before 2pm in the afternoon..
not with 5 minutes left in the game.
I like Dak actually. I wish he would play football with the same urgency that he negotiates his contracts.
If he would, there would never be an issue.

A few good points.
- Dak does have a phenomenal ability to throw on the move. From his rookie year he's been great at that.
- His accuracy did improve alot last year.
- The stats on drops were ridiculous. I hadn't realized it was that bad. Maybe that's why Sanjay isn't back.
Drop numbers per Pro Football Reference. We're #1!
See the Accuracy Tab. According to them, Dak is 6th or 7th most accurate by Bad Throw% and On Target%. That's pretty damn good considering it's one of the major complaints against Dak.

Nice. They have 2018 too. It's not our imagination that Dak's accuracy jumped a lot. Dak was ranked 20th for Bad Pass% in 2018.
Drew Brees was the most accurate the last two years. The guy is a machine.

Hey..
I will be the first to admit..
during this past year I flipped channels over to other games more than I ever had.
I grew tired of watching Dak and the offense draw a penalty and kill a possession..
or the defense hold a receiver and extend a drive for the other team.
And this only focused more on Dak to overcome it.
I really thru beercans at my TV when our playcaller would hand off to Zeke for 3 yds when we needed 8.
So yeah, I got tired of Dak being beaten by Buffalo, the Jets and a completely crippled Philly we handed the division over too.
Dak had really lost his touch he had coming into the NFL.
He went from 13-3 to 9-6 to 10-6 to 8-8.
These are not the best Dak can do. Especially with an offense around him that gets paid $120 mil+/yr .
You have to be realistic.

I’m not arguing he is perfect. I will argue that at no point in time have I seen anything that can be construed as a lack of effort or want to on his part.
Last season was tough to watch all around.

Brett Favre threw tons of interceptions that lost games.
But he hit receivers when it mattered also.
That's the problem with Dak, too many times when they needed a great throw to extend a drive, or score a td, or get within easy (relatively) field goal range, he didn't do it. He has to get better at that.
Though in truth we saw that from Romo as well, and Danny White before that. Aikman threw several ints in the 1994 playoff loss to SF, putting the Cowboys too far behind.
No quarterback is perfect, and as noted there were lots of drops by receivers as well as Dak throws that were way off, even with receivers wide open. The problem is that nobody knows if some other veteran quarterback, or draftee, on this team, can do better. It's easy to see Brees hitting 75% of his throws and say "why can't Dak do that", forgetting he's got a master offensive mind designing plays, which Dak never had. Aikman has credited Norv Turner with his development into a 3 time SB winning quarterback, who has Dak had?
If not for Turner, would Aikman and the Cowboys turned out as well as they did? And remember the Cowboys had the number one defense in the league most of their first SB winning season, Dak has never had that. Neither did Romo or White.
I'm just saying that we know what we have in Dak, and with players like T. Smith, etc. getting near the end of their careers, and with LVE's neck uncertainty, and a huge number of free agents coming in 2021, it makes sense to lock Dak in for a few years and have stability at that position, and build the defense up.
Sure you always would like to get better, but now's not the time for uncertainty at the most important position on an NFL team.
