I have a question for you. What does Dak have to do for you to acknowledge he is a good QB? Please state something that doesn't tie to winning a game because you have already inserted that the Atlanta game was a team win.

Funny thing is every win is a team win be it Dak or Brady or Rodgers. I have yet to hear or see Brady drop back and throw the ball to Brady down field and seeing Brady making the block on the pass rusher only to turn around and see Brady sack the QB or make the int. Football always has and always will be a team sport. QB is critical to the success of any team but that QB has to rely on others around him to do their job. When Brady throws that slant rout he expects that WR to be at that spot when he releases it and if the WR fails that ball is picked off. No doubt Dak has talent around him and because of that we have a chance to do something special this season but by the same token every single top team in this league competing for a championship also has a lot of talent on those teams.

Every QB needs blitz pickup to get the ball off.
Nope. Atlanta game was classic example. First TD to Lamb was a blitz that Zeke stoned. It was not "under pressure" at all - TD - Nice play.

Second TD to Lamb was a blitz that was not picked up at all and Dak made a beautiful throw to the corner of the end zone to Lamb. GREAT pass and play

So 1 TD really would go to the under Blitz stat that had merit and should count as under pressure and the other one was not under pressure at all but was still a blitz.

Blitzer was still chipped on the way in, Dak threw it to the spot to allow Lamb to make the play on it and just as important saw where the blitzer was coming from so he could attack it. So often these QB are still hit after they release to ball be it a blitz or not and Dak has done very good when dealing to pressure.

No he was not chipped.



6:38 - he was not touched!

Dak’s 2nd TD pass to CeeDee was the epitome of “throwing a guy open”. The degree of difficulty on that pass that Dak made look easy was out of this world.
He cant throw guys open. Heard it here.

As much arguing that goes on around here about Dak, you'd think maybe people would just stand back and watch this guy become one of the best QB's in the league.

I get the trepidation when he was tossing ducks out there. But it isn't just the fact he's become a surprisingly accurate passer. But Dak has grown into a leader. Something you see in Brady. Dak's confidence, and his work ethic are just in rarified air now days. This team rallies around Dak. They believe he can take them to the promised land. Me too!

I am one of the gray beards on this site. I have to tell you that standing around and complaining about this guy is wasted time and air. If the front office can keep a steady cadre of talent around him, this guy will be wallpapering the Star with Super Bowl skins.
I still wanna see more accurate deep balls :|

this is what teams with above average DLs and play defense with only a 4man line, no extra blitz in max 2 deep coverage effect dak much more then ones tryig to manufacture pressure and blitz and leave our WRS more open..

that blueprint is tough to deploy but teams that have those stud 4 Dl can slow dak down and hoe when dak sees this you check into more runs etc
:huh:

so it takes 4 stud DL men to stop Dak or slow him down....was that a knock on Dak or was that a praise!?

Where did you come up with this assessment? Winston was #1 in exactly two categories in 2019.. yards and turnovers.. He was 26th in passer rating.. 28th in completion percentage and 18th in QBR. Sorry but that is NOT "#1 overall." Hell most would not have even had him in the top 20. No matter how hard you try to peddle such nonsense. But we all know you will never stop peddling it anyway..
you have to realize, they use the stats that support their agenda.....all other stats are meaningless.....

Best under pressure.

Read that again.


Yeah...lol...I'm sure Dak has had a lot of practice getting the ball out on a blitz because he has been playing against Parsons in practice! When he see Parsons looking at him prior to the snap he's probably thinking I better get this ball out of my hands before Parsons taps my red jersey.

I would say ceedees exceptional skill also contributed.
That might be an overthrow for many wrs

Some are not going to like this but to me it seemed like a desperation throw that somehow worked out just fine...they were all in Dak's face, no way he could actually zero in on that pass.

Just a simple reminder - Jameis Winston was the #1 overall QB in 2019. I bet no one in Tampa Bay was pounding their chests and propping him up like is done around here for Dak. It's funny how no one was propping him up after the stinker against Denver.

Last I looked, Dak didn't beat Atlanta all by himself either..
You hate Prescott so much that not only do you lack the ability to avoid commenting in a thread about a player you hate, but you contradict yourself. Lol, awesome.

It's okay if some don't like it. I don't let any side deter me from saying the truth...as I see it.
Whether they admit it ir not....that's all any of us can do.

Why should he withhold comment? Because you don't like what he wants to say?
