25-39, 266 Yds, TD, 30 Rush yds, sacked 3 times, zero turnovers.

92.5 passer rating, 73.4 Total QBR (8th-best in the NFL thus far).

Absolute dime to Gallup that should’ve/could’ve resulted in overtime or a win.

And all of that was despite a pass rush that got in his face for much of the night, led by the great Aaron Donald wreaking havoc inside.

Today is Monday. The Cowboys are being talked about nationally on every single sports show, TV or radio/podcast. I have yet to see a SINGLE analyst put this loss on Dak’s “poor play,” even though blaming the QB is an automatic ratings bonanza (ask Tony Romo).

You know why? Because Dak actually played WELL... and anyone without a CLEAR bias and who knows football, knows it.

If I’m wrong, PLEASE link me to a respected analyst who says that Dak played poorly last night. Go right ahead!

1) He didn’t “play poorly“ just because you’re an angry, know-nothing troglodyte who doesn’t like him, facts be damned.

2) He didn’t “play poorly“ just because you don’t watch enough football to know what good QB play and bad QB play really looks like.

3) He didn’t “play poorly“ just because your life SUCKS and it kills you to see a young overachiever make $31.4M to play QB for your favorite football team.

If you’re reading this and got offended, good. You people know who you are. I know the truth hurts.

The VERY strong majority of football analysts/players/coaches/GMs know that Dak is a top-10 QB.

Let this serve as a reminder to the loud minority crying about Dak’s play after a tough loss: you people generally aren’t even worth the time of day to even respond to. Consider this your lucky day!

LOLLLLLLLLLL

Your 1st line.... oh man, please never attempt to speak about this sport EVER AGAIN.
:lmao2::lmao2::lmao2:

“We ALL KNOW” that the number of men in the box causes poor pass protection???????

Um, no, Know-Nothing. Nice try.

Linebackers and DBs “in the box” only affect the pass rush when there’s this magical thing called a “blitz”.

Embarrassingly stupid take. You’re done. Nice attempt at dismissing that awful pass protection rate, Know-Nothing.
:thumbup:

HAHA then you call Dak a “clown” for good measure, displaying your sad little complex for all to see. Tragic.

Uh, men in the box mean OL is consistently blocking extra guys wearing them out.. and are you saying they don’t blitz or OL don’t pull to set up blocking for quick passes?

Do you even have the actual number of blitzes that the Rams sent??? No, you don’t.

Do you even have the actual number of plays with 8+ defenders in the box??? No, you don’t.

You have NOTHING... and yet you tried to completely dismiss the pass protection stat with zero basis to do so.
:laugh:

Do you have the actual number of plays OL got beat for it not to be Dak’s fault? Or the amount poor, baby Dak’s shoulder hurt for him to throw 44 times and still suck against third string CBs on Philly? You have NOTHING...

The numbers of which Zeke RUNS against stacked boxes is known, which doesn’t include the amount that is thrown against them, which is pretty obviously reflected in how much Dallas goes play-action..

Um, I already shared the % of times the OL allowed pressure. Do YOU have anything to dispute those numbers?

NOPE!

“DURRRR BUT DA MENZ IN DA BOX!!!”
:lmao2::lmao2::lmao2:

So, what’s the number of Zeke runs from a stacked box Sunday night? You say it’s “known” but you haven’t shared that info. I’m all ears. Don’t deflect. Answer the question.

Uh, pressures doesn’t mean it isn’t Dak’s garbage pocket presence that led to the pressure.. So where is the evidence? This isn’t a deflection.. Facts are we know how much teams stack the box to stop Zeke and have been doing it in Dak’s five year career..

When you demand $ 40 million a year, you put the whole team on YOUR back and carry them across the finish line! I don't see that in DAK PRESCOTT! Romo never got us a SB trophy, but you knew when he was on the field he was going to make the Cowboys a very competitive team. I don't see that in DAK PRESCOTT! Two minute warning with the ball in Romo's hands, you knew he gave us a chance to pull out a victory. I don't feel that way with DAK PRESCOTT! $40 MILLION A YEAR QB. I don't see that in DAK PRESCOTT!

So you don’t have the number after all!!! Know-nothing clown.
:lmao2::lmao2::lmao2:

And if you want to blame Dak for the pressures, you’d need to know how long Dak held onto the ball on those plays compared to the NFL average... something like that.

Or you can just be an idiot who talks out of his butt with zero evidence to back it up! There’s that option too!

If the skins won with haskins of course Dak played well enough to win. But a guy trying to set the market and plays closer to average than great can go somewhere else.
