and makes no sense, which leads me to believe because most of them are the same "bashers", that all they want to do is complain and create threads and argue....its insane
I mostly ignore it. Because it's extremely inane.

Here's the thing. Casual fans only see the QB, so that's all they want to talk about. And casual fans get their football from highlights. Sooooooooooooooo, they're comparing Dak's complete games to the highlights of other QB's. And that's why their take is so bad, and that's why the QB threads are so bad. It will never change.

oh, on the contrary...I have blamed Dak plenty. I have never said he was perfect and I challenge you to find one post from me that says that....in fact I have said that he is less than perfect and stand firm that there is no perfect QB. they all make mistakes. during the game, game to game, etc....but you have to look at the overall body of work, taking into account certain factors....the undisputed FACT remains the team is more competitive with Dak. the undisputed FACT is that the team was scoring more with Dak.

now, I ask you a question, simple one. so get your spinner ready.....if Tom Brady would have played in dallas under Garrett. how many championships would he have?

and I fully agree. you can't have it both ways. apparantley to Dak haters he does, 100% of everything wrong given a lot of dak haters think he is not worthy of a starting position in NFL, meaning he is at best the 33rd best QB in the league....now tell me more....


More competitive? After his rookie season what has Dak done to help Dallas be competitive?

...and your excuse for last year when the defense played much better and Dallas finished 8-8?
Last year the D couldn't get a TO to save their lives and the Special Teams was the worst unit in the NFL which helped the O be placed in the worst avg field position in the NFL every game.

I would think those are factors that should be considered.

losing by 25, getting blown our regularly, down by 20 with 3 minutes to go, vs. being within 3 points in the last 3 minutes...that's being more competitive..

see, not that hard to understand..

so tell me which one do you prefer?

funny that we need to consider those factors yet we should not consider the offense turning the ball over multiple times and putting the defense in a bad position.

If you really believe this is a team game then you would agree that paying one guy 40 million while the rest of the team has to be patched up is a sure fire way of ensuring that you would will not be fielding the best possible TEAM on the field.
Team couldn't patch itself up when Dak was on a rook contract.

Just saying those are things to be considered and never mentioned.

Also, they must have fumbled a lot! I think Dak only had 11 INT's.

I've thought franchise QBs are overpriced for a good decade. It's gotten much worse lately.

It's a market bubble. Teams that figure out how to drat and develop QBs on the cheap will be at a massive advantage. I hope we do that.

Please don't make Dak the next Romo. Fans will wax poetically for a good QB. Remember the 90's teams if you want to remember something good.
Remember when Jimmy would say "We will win the game, put it in 3 inch headlines".
Remember when Jimmy cut Richards on the plane ride home after a loss to the Skins in 1992
Remember when we won back to back SB's and then a drunk idiot soon to be plastic face owner decided to fire Jimmy Johnson.
Full stop. :)

How about waxing poetically for the coach of that 90's team or that 70's team and how those teams were built. We wouldn't have to worry about QB's so much.

Last time I checked a loss is a loss.

Oh, and against the Rams (Dallas lost 20-17) Dak did nothing the whole 2nd half, against the Seahawks (Dallas lost 38-31) Dallas was down 30-15 in early 3rd quarter, against the Browns (Dallas lost 49-38) Dallas was down 41-14 at the start of the 4th quarter......so while you can point to the defense why did it take until the game was out of hand for Dak to step up?

Oh, and against the Giants (Dallas won 37-34) Dallas was up 24-23 when Dak got injured only because of a defensive fumble return TD or else Dallas would have been losing that game, seeing as how Dak threw a pick 6 earlier in the game.

again son, never said Dak was perfect. show me a perfect QB, every game, without a loss.

Did you know Tom Brady threw a pick 6 and they still won the game...guess why....come on think...

and again, you danced around, spun yet again..

simple yes or no question....

3 minutes to go, do you prefer to be within 3 points. or down by 20?

its not that hard...Yes is spelled Y E S and No is spelled N O

but I will make it even simpler

A or B

A- I prefer the team be witin 3 Points with 3 minutes to go
B - I don't care if the team is down by 20 points with 3 minutes to go

but I am sure you are going to spin spin spin....

so go get your spinner....

No spin in my position: Dak is an average QB at best and Dallas is better off moving on from him and trying to get a Justin Fields in the draft so as to rebuild this team.

LOL, son that was a big fail..

that's all you have left in your spinner?

ok, my vote goes to Dak. he is a very good top 10 QB that creates and leads the offense and has impeccable leadership skills

your word against mine...

go get another spinner.

With Homer and Jethro at the helm, we won't get a Lawrence OR a Fields.
