Dak's TD totals: good teams vs bad teams

atlantacowboy said:

You should talk. The fact is that when your losing 23-7 with 12 minutes left in the game, the defense trades yards for clock. They back off and tackle in bounds. This is super basic stuff which I'm not surprised has to be be explained to you.

What I love is all the Dak fanboys who are trying to disprove that Dak is a loser with math. lol

I dont need anything explained to me, child. You think all teams always go into prevent, lol??? Go look AZI game you referenced. We were down 8 points at the start of the fourth. They were not playing pReVeNt dEfEnSe.

This right before the biggest play in the 4th, drive which resulted in a TD. Look at the Prevent Defense alignment. Super basic stuff.

Nice how you conveniently trimmed out any information identifying the quarter and score. We were down 22-7 at the start of the 4th quarter bonehead.

This only has context if you show me the average for other QBs. Don’t be a PFF…

I love how people just automatically assume defenses are playing prevent in the 4th quarter without, you know, looking at what defenses they were actually playing.

Lol IQ football analysis.

Dak is who he is. He's not Manning. He can occasionally have a monster year ala Romo in 2014 but he's gonna overcome failures by pretty much every other player on the team. Rodgers, Brady, and Tannehill all got more help than he did in their playoff loss.

Thank you for showing us the evidence he was wrong.

Dak doesn’t get the benefit of the doubt anymore. He’s the leader and the highest paid player on the team. He’s gonna take most of the blame.

lol, he hasn't had the benefit of the doubt from this fanbase since his rookie year.

He get no absolution from me, though--he does need to improve. The hyperbole concerning him is just ridiculous.

So, this is a Dak excuse thread.

Dak vs SF, Tampa, Raiders, Patriots, Cardinals, Chiefs (playoff teams)

13 TDs

2.16666 TDs per game



Dak in other 11 games (non playoff teams + Eagles)

27 TDs

2.454545 TDs per game


So he scores 0.29 less TDs against good teams vs bad teams. I'm not trying to make a Dak love or Dak excuse thread. I'm just saying... everyone says he beats bad teams, but his TD production doesn't show too drastic a difference between how he plays vs good teams and bad teams. TDs are the main stat. That shows that plays are being made and points are being scored. None of these games were in garbage time so all these stats are relevant.

I don't think it's only Dak that doesn't show up vs good teams. Nobody else shows up either. Pass rush is a no show against the NFC West. Defense forces turnovers only against Taysom Hill and Mike Glennon. Defense clearly looks way better vs the Giants and Vikings than vs challenging teams. Offensive line gets bulldozed against the Niners and Chiefs. Running game relatively ineffective. Always a few kicks missed in key games. 100 penalties when we're forced to play more physically. We need to find out why EVERYONE plays worse against great teams. It's not just a Dak problem. It's a team problem. Thoughts?

Forget stats for a second. Do you honestly think he played well against good teams this year? Here is the example I'll use to illustrate my point. Two years ago we played the browns. Who were a decent team that year, .500 I believe. I think we went up 14-7 early in the game. In quarters 2-3 the browns outscored us 34-0. By the fourth quarter the score is 41-14.

Does dak lead us back to score 24 points in the fourth quarter? Absolutely. But the game was pretty much out of hand at that point.

The point I'm trying to make is sometimes stats don't tell the whole story. Dak needs to be more consistent over 4 quarters of football. In The broncos, Cheifs. cardinals, and 49ers playoff game the d kept us in the game. Dak had ample opportunities to lead us back and didn't even come close.

really why is rogers, brady,. allen, and others sitting at home? they all needed a little MORE help. its a team game

stop being a delusional and clueless fan to the sport of football total team game.

dak didn't get penalized 14 times, dak didn't miss blocks, dak didn't create the lack OF A RUN GAME, , Dak didn't miss FGS, Dak didn't drop passes, dak doesn't call plays, DAK DIDNT GIVE UP scores on 4 straight drives to start a game. got it yet

we lost by 6 despite that total mess by the team. none can be placed on dak.,
