that is a meaningless stat lol.
There is no magic # or stat that makes you a great qb.
Stats are just BS that the NFL uses to get you guys more into the NFL and player glorification.

The Sack stat is the funniest of all lol. Fans judge DL by Sacks now, without ever wondering just what is a sack? Is it really that great?

Well truth is the whole sack thing is a joke.

A sack is just a tackle !!! of the weakest guy on the field ! lol Take him down and you get a sack credit! If 2 of you do it together you only get 1/2 a sack lol.

Now here is my point, a tackle of a QB for a 6 inch loss, is a Sack ! whoopee ! give that guy 20 mil a year!
if your behind 52-0 and tackle a qb for a 5 yd loss, you get a Sack! but what good did it do his team ??
If your ahead 52-0 and tackle a qb for a 5 yd loss, you get a Sack! but what good did it do his team ??

you guys think 15 sacks a year is a great player, but never look at when the sack occurred, or what good did it do in that game?
HOw many were less than 5 yds?

If you took sack totals for these guys and eliminated anything under 5 yds, and any that were in garbage time of a game, then you would have a more
reasonable stat.
The only sacks that are really sacks to me, are when the one team is driving for a td but a sack for more than 5 yds happens, and that stops the drive.

Stats are a cowboys fans super bowl anyway no need for the real game

Stats are used to draft, pay, promote, award, and induct players into the Hall of Fame. This practice is used for every athlete in every sport.

So do you care to share with us how a common practice of stats used globally is just a Cowboys fan Superbowl???

It's all we got to brag about, stats. Not wins, not playoff wins, not super bowl wins (unless you want to go back to another century), we got stats and jersey sales.

Yeah, but it takes more than just one guy throwing passes to accomplish that goal. It takes great ownership, coaching, play calling on both sides of the ball, and discipline on offense, defense, and special teams.

But according to a few people who's football IQ wouldn't win them a good game of Madden.... Our fate ONLY rely on one person.

400-yard passing games by current NFL QBs:

4 - Joe Burrow, Jared Goff
6 - Kirk Cousins, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Matt Ryan
7 - Patrick Mahomes
9 - Dak Prescott, Aaron Rodgers
10 - Matthew Stafford
13 - Tom Brady

If you really wanna piss em off mention the fact that Rodgers has been a starting NFL QB for 8 years longer than Dak. Stats aren't everything, but might as well provide some context lol

Dak Prescott once threw for 463 yards against the Green Bay Packers.

He had ZERO, yes, ZERO passing yards on 3rd down that game.

Surprisingly, we lost.

Brees and Peyton Manning both had the same amount of playoff wins that Dak had in those same amount of years played. Matthew Stafford had zero playoff wins in that same time frame.

So according to your logic, were Manning, Brees and Stafford all tier 4 bum quarterbacks as well???

Peyton in his first 6 years had led his team to double the amount of playoff wins (and a conference Championship game appearance) as Dak in his first 6 years. Yes, a whopping TWO playoff wins! (He also was NFL MVP in year 6). Seeing as how my tier 1 is reserved for Champions and MVPs (Brady, Rodgers, Mahomes) Manning in year 6 would probably have been a tier 2 or 3 guy on my list. Most likely a tier 2 QB because he was the reigning MVP coming off leading his team to the conference championship game.

Drew Brees spent his first 5 years in San Diego and became a Saint in year 6, had a good season in year 6, but not enough, so he could've been a tier 4 guy at that point in my rankings because he hadn't done enough by year 6 to show that he could lead a team to post season success.

Stafford for sure could have been a tier 4 guy on my list through his first 6 years. He didn't do much but put up decent stats on bad teams.

what you say maybe true, and you will be able to come up with some examples. but overall, things tend to normalize. so 15 sacks can't all be in a 52-0 or even in a loss. if a team is that bad that they lose a lot of games, then chances of anyone getting 15 sacks is very very low. so expectations are that some of the sacks happened in a critical time of a game they needed to win and it helped them win. that goes for every player across the board. so sometimes looking at final stats, although may not be as telling, it tends to normalize for everyone. with that said, then one has to go through every player, every sack, every situation and analyze relevance of a play. for example, as you described, a team may lose 35-7, but the losing team DE gets a sack in first quarter when the game is 7-0. is that a bad sack?

that's what PFF tries to do, but again, PFF is also a stat to be considered in overall set of stats and situations.

Logic has missed them. On purpose. Like, logic tries to avoid him.

Too often you're passing for 400+ yards because you're playing from behind. You either had turnovers, can't get any stops on defense, or both - so you're desperate.

I'll take 150+ rushing yard games over 400+ yard passing games all day long, because the former are almost always wins.

Correct me if im wrong but Peyton didn't have but 1 playoff victory in 4 or 5 FULL seasons, he had the same amount as Dak did in that time.

As far as Brees, i don't want to hear about where he played for 5 seasons. He was an NFL quarterback. Lets hold all of these guys on the same standard as Dak.

I give you credit and respect for stepping up and answering THIS question, i know it must have been difficult. With that said, Dak, Manning and Brees only had one playoff win in 4 or 5 full seasons and you feel that Dak is a bum.

So is it safe to say that Manning, Brees, and Stafford were bums too at that particular time in their career according to your opinion??? Remember, Peyton and Brees only had ONE playoff win just like Dak...

I mean Brees didn't start his rookie year and was injured his 3rd year. Stafford was injured his 2nd year. So the 5 FULL seasons thing applies to them too I assume? Both of them won Comeback Player of the Year awards when they came back (Dak didn't), but they still didn't lead their teams to any postseason success, so my rankings for them would not have changed probably. They would have been tier 4 guys still because, like Dak, that had proved nothing (other than winning Comeback Player of the Year).

Manning is different. He was a 3 time Pro Bowler with 2 Top 5 MVP seasons in his first 5 full seasons. He would of still been a tier 2 guy, because everyone that knew anything knew Manning was just THAT good. He was a top pick for a reason. Manning was one of the surest QB prospects ever and was thought very highly of in the NFL. He didn't have the playoffs success yet, but he clearly had the ability and was showing it. I don't believe Dak has anywhere near that ability. Neither did the people in the know either as they graded him a 4th round, 3rd day talent and that was when he was dual-threat. If he was a pure pocket passer at Miss State he goes undrafted.

If Dak wants to move up then he's going to have to be better, the same goes for the other guys in my 4th tier. It's not set in stone. If Dak wins the MVP this year, and we still get bounced in the 1st round, then he still may move up into my tier 2. Because it takes a team, but if you win the MVP then you must be doing something right. The reason I am so low on Dak right now is because I watch him shrink against good teams and buckle under pressure. If you take away the run game we're toast with Dak at QB right now. He goes as the running games goes. I still view him as nothing but a pretty good bus driver. Maybe that changes this year, but my opinion on that won't change until I see the play of the field change.

How sad you would post this like it’s anything meaningful. I went to the Denver game last year spent $4k to watch a team that couldn’t get the ball past the 50 yard line until the final 2 meaningless drives of the game when Denver had backups in and played Hail Mary prevent defense.
Now that’s sad!
Garbage Dak is on the prowl baby!!!!

It is a team game. They win or lose as a team. Stats for individual players give a nice picture of how that player can or cannot help the team win. At this point there is little doubt that QB Prescott COULD be on a Super Bowl team...perhaps even win one. Poorer QBs have done it. But it takes more....a better roster with quality teammates. It takes quality coaching. It takes effective management. We all can tick off a list of all pro players and HOF guys who never played in a SB.

On the flip side the players have cliche sayings that pretty much sum things up as far as stats go: 1) "stats are for losers" and 2) "It (stats) do not mean a thing unless you win the RING". Team results trump player stats every time.
