Because in the past 20 years this team has started Clint Stoerner, Anthony Wright, Chad Hutchinson, Drew Henson, Drew Bledsoe, Vinny Testerverde and Quincy Carter quarterback for them and have ZERO faith in this team finding another quarterback just like we have zero faith in them drafting a linebacker without injury concerns.
Well your going back too far lol ,but you have a valid point.
since 2006 we have had Romo, then Dak.
But let me point out some things.
the jones boys are not as bad as they used to be, they have more help in drafting and FA shopping.
They did draft dak.
Now think of this what if tony does not get hurt, and 2016 was another great season for him and he plays in 17 and 18.
Then Dak never plays, and might be cut, put on ps and grabbed by another team where he sits on the bench , and never becomes
a star qb.
There are other guys like Dak who just waste away on a bench somewhere.
This guy minshew is one, he was a bench warmer who only got to play due to injury, and now he has shown he can play.
They are out there.
A guy like dinucci might be one, but if they dont play him soon we will never know.

I think the best thing is to build a great defense, and find a cheap good qb , and be mainly a running team with good defense .

you cant have it all, for year people complain about our defense , but draft picks tend to go for off players, because jones boys always
focus on offense.
There is no way to have a great offense and a great defense. you cant have both, KC has come pretty close, with good drafting and FA
and it paid off they won a SB but mahomes was cheap qb when they won that, and he still is for another year.

if you want to win a SB with dak , it has to be this year,maybe next year too, but after that he will suck the life out of the team with his salary.
So lets see if he can get the team even close to a sb, or past the div round. If not it probably will never happen.

And I think this is where the lines get blurred on both sides of the argument. On no planet can anyone play quarterback I don't care how stacked your team is. Kurt Warner wasn't good because he had Faulk, Holt and Bruce. He could play some football.

IF you notice there's no great quarterback with a bad supporting cast around him contrary to popular belief.

So what are your thoughts on Wilson last season then?

Of his OLmen the highest graded was 26th at his position amongst starter, their pass block win rate was 28th in the league, absolutely nothing at tight end, Lockett who is underrated but still an average to below average WR1, a rookie DK at WR2, Chris Carson(doesn't really matter pointing out a QBs RB, but I will) wouldn't rank in the top half of starting RBs, Schottenheimer is his OC, and to top it all off he had the 21st ranked defense according to DVOA.

Despite this the Seahawks had the 5th ranked offense lol, and an 11-5 record. That's absurd.

Spot on....Ryan Tannehill led the Titans to the AFC Championship game last season and Alex Smith led the 49ers to the NFC Championship game in 2011. Let's marinate on that for a moment...Dak needs to play bigger in the Next Level games.

True. But it was really Derrick Henry who led the Titans to the AFC Championship game and the 49ers DEFENSE in 2011. I think Dak has the offensive unit to take these team that deep. If he does, the narrative surrounding him will change.

Those are bad quarterbacks though lol. I guess except maybe Alex Smith when healthy I wouldn't call him bad but the rest of those guys have been bad the majority of their careers.
They've been average. Bad quarterbacks don't really last that long in the NFL.

I did mention in a reply to a post that it was Henry, Vrabel's coaching, the Titan OLine (They're top 5), the defense who led the Play-off drive. In Smith's case, Harbaugh's aggressive coaching, and a defense with Patrick Willis, Navarro Bowman, and Justin Smith brought it home.

P.S. I will believe until my last breath that Jerry could have gone after Jim or John Harbaugh to coach this team if they were available.

I disagree. I think these guys eventually get in the game. Dak was never going to sit. They were grooming him to back up Romo. They didn't intend for him to get in the game as fast he did however.

Year in and year out Seahawks have a good running game. Lockett and DK last year were both pretty good. I can't say he didn't have any weapons. Russel is a very good player and there's a argument to be made he's the best quarterback in the league. Seahawks just don't have big name guys but they have some players.

He didn't have a strong team around him.

Defensively I'd agree. Offensively? I can't. Anyone would take those weapons.

You're not gauging them based on production but actually what their names are? What qualifies as talent? How many 1200 yard seasons does Chris Carson have to have? He's easily been one of the best backs in the league production wise.

No, not anyone would take those weapons. They are below average. I laid it out for you.

Below average WR1, average WR2, nothing at TE, and below average RB, and one of the worst OL in the league.

Chris Carson averaged 4.4 yards per carry last season lmao

There is no argument against it.

"Anyone would take those weapons" yeah if 3/4ths of the league wanted to get worse.

Since when did 4.4 yards a carry become average or bad lol?

And once again how are you determining what's "below average and average"? It can only be by names because Locket and Metcalf had 2k yards by themselves last year lol.

This is insane.......but I notice y'all do this with players who aren't big names. Y'all will big up guys like Saquon but in the same sentence say Chris Carson is below average lol.

Dak's not perfect, but he's really good and I believe in him and think he's definitely working toward potentially being elite. He has things he's working on and is improving. However, call out threads that call anyone criticizing Dak haters just makes me want to bash him because it gets some people's panties all in a twist.

It really boggles the mind just how rabid a few people get if you say one critical word about him.

...don't count me in. I've been with Dak since Tony said, "He's the one".

I think that says more about Tony than Dak.

This is not a knock on Dak. But Tony....always been an upstanding man, and a great team mate. I would expect him to say nothing different regardless of Dak's ability.

So if he wins a superbowl. You wouldn't believe in him?

Amazing.
Phil look at some of the meh quarterbacks who have won Super bowls bro. It's not really that much of an affront.

I personally haven't changed my opinion on Dak since I started watching him play at Mississippi State. Try hard guy who finds away to outlast everyone in the quarterback room. Matter of fact I made a post were I praised Dak for the fact he perseveres in which I chronicled his entire career and was labeled a hater because I said sometimes someone might come who's just better. That he can't out work that's my issue with him.

I don't mind him at quarterback because it's out of my hands and for all his issues it could be worse. If I had to choose someone it wouldn't be him and I don't think people give other guys credit because of tribalism. But it is what it is.

Joe Montana went to the AFC championship game in his comeback season with J.J. Burden and Willie Davis at wide receiver. We had the equivalent of that with Dak and he couldn't make it half a year without the Cooper trade in 2018 and the investment of our last two first round picks in reciever.

Lockett and Metcalf formed a top 10 receiving duo. Why are you rating them so low?

There are a lot of you. Question - Is there anything he can do to change your mind? Would a SB win do it? League MVP? NFC Championship? 40 TDs? Anything?

Is it the contract? Is it because he is not Mahomes or Wilson?

Dak haters and fans agree that Dak can be inconsistent with accuracy but I think he adds toughness, running ability and leadership.

Serious question so don’t be nasty. What, if anything, could he do to win you over?
It's really very simple.

Move the team and score in the red zone against good defenses in games that matter, and stop getting two or three scores behind against those teams with poor early play. Convert more third downs at key moments.

Statistics mean nothing. Just about every QB has stats these days, much of it from late-game garbage time.
