Blaming Dak? Obviously an agenda here. He wasn’t great but he surely didn’t lose the game. Penalties killed them and that’s a coaching issue. Questionable playcalling as well as usual the 2nd half of the year.
I have defended Dak. And I agree he alone did not lose the game. But for this team to win. He has GOT to be better. When that much of the cap is allocated to you, you have to carry the weight of your price tag. I give Dak a "C" for today. We needed him to be a "B+" to win this game.

Something happenned to Dak, I dont know what but the first half of the season he was on fire and the MVP favorite and starting with the Denver game he looked totally lost and never really recovered the rest of the season outside of blowing out our trash division rivals.

Maybe it was the calf injury, maybe it was fear of getting hurt again, maybe Denver actually did show the NFL the blueprint. I dont know, I honestly dont know. But something happenned after that Pats game because Dak never really looked like that again.

The big question is, will Dak ever look like that again?

You really must be off your rocker… go and watch the game again if you could stomach all of Dak’s excuses.
Dak is not worth $40million, not by a long shot

There are those of us who have been saying this for the last 3 years that he wasn’t worth the 40 million he was asking. For our troubles we were referred to as Dak haters and trolls. Well you got him folks, enjoy the years of futility.

Dak played bad.

I also can't get over how everyone on this team played bad. It is so frustrating. They were all terrified of messing up and the moment was obviously too big for them.. Felt like the only one who stepped up was the punter.

I'll say this:

Dallas is stuck with Dak. I seriously question how much Moore has helped and pushed Dak. I'm not seeing a lot of growth. Regardless of whatever happens with McCarthy, I think KM and whomever the QB coach is have to be gone. Someone has to work with Dak on reads and anticipating passes instead of waiting for receivers to be wide open.

this is what he needs but there is no one in the building who can do it
He will just tune them out and he knows he has the power
This is why once he got paid it was game over

I totally agree. It was like a switch just flipped. He suddenly stopped taking chances, throwing deep, giving the ball to his playmakers. It's totally bizarre, because it wasn't physical, even though the 'switch' occurred at the same time as his injury. It was like he stopped knowing how to play QB and was never prepared for what his opponents were doing.

He wasn't the issue, a la throwing 4 picks or something terrible but he wasn't a positive player most of the game.
The offense was treading water till the gift from Jimmy G but even then, they had no positive consistency.

He just took too long in the pocket. If someone wasn't college open he just held the ball sans a few passes.

I think blame needs to land at Moores feet too as when his QB was struggling with reads it looked like there was zero adjustments. Quick passing plays, slants, rollouts? Nope. Same ole ****.

The last sentence is spot on in that this was the case as soon as he faced a good defence against the Broncos. He didn't face a good defence beforehand (Allen and the Bills just laid 47 points on the Patriots so forget about claiming they have a good defense).

I think it’s funny. Several of his vociferous defenders are awfully quiet. I think I heard that 1 of them even left the forum.
I don’t like that we lost, but the sooner most fans realize that our QB can’t get it done the sooner we can possibly be rid of him. I know some are upset with the loss and can’t face today knowing we are out of contention, but you need to accept reality. I did a long time ago and I slept very well last night.

One thing that he has done pretty regularly is put his receivers in position to get hammered after catching the ball. Ronnie Lott would have a field day against our receivers if he could play against Dak with the old school rules.

Dak wasn't good yesterday as many said, but it amazes me that folks just ignore the penalties on offense, the pressure teams put on with 4 men, teams stopping the run or us not running the ball.

Maybe it was due, in part, to the schedule.

Given his salary, he’s probably the most destructive player in team history. A bus driver on crack.

Are you saying on that INT that Dak was holding the ball too long? I want to be clear if that is what you're saying.

No, I am saying it was a bad decision to throw the ball, but I am also saying Dak's poor day was not because of one throw. He was off most of the afternoon. And yes, there were plays where he held the ball too long, which mean either he could not decide where to throw it or he chose not to simply run out of the pocket early enough to buy time - or run for a few yards. That 13 yard sack in the 3rd quarter was all on Dak. There is no need to take sacks in the NFL if you get out of the pocket and throw the ball away.
