Will this ever happen again with Dak at QB? 0 TDs plus -4 TD to Turnover diff

DFWJC · Nov 20, 2017

Dak had a rough night vs Philly, obviously. It happens.

However, combination of:

1) 0 TDs (via run or pass) AND

2) -4 TD to Turnover differential

is VERY rare

Dallas has had a QB game this bad only three times in almost 30 years

Troy Aikman (in his 1st season) on Dec 24, 1989
Vinnie Testeverde (at the end of his career) on Nov. 7, 2004
Drew Bledsoe (n his last year) on Oct. 8, 2006

My question is:
Given that Dak is actually very good at protecting the football, will he ever have this tragic combo (zero TDs combined with a negative 4 turnover differential) again?

I'm going to go on a limb here and say
NO

I don't think we'll ever see that again. Maybe close, but not a total TD shutout with all of those turnovers.

What do you say?
YES he will or NO he won't?

PS: I would've made this a poll like usual, but for some odd reason couldn't see where to do it this time. Maybe the mods can help?

I don’t think Dak will ever be better than or as good as he played last year. The position is too big for him.

He will never be able to throw a wr Open or thread the needle.

QBs start pressing (trying to force plays) when their team is behind. All QBs have done it at times.

Yet he is one of the best throwing in tight windows

I appreciate the replies--for better or worse.
But I was hoping some would answer the question.
Will Dak ever have a game where he personally contributes zero TDs via air or ground while also turning the ball over 4 times?
Yes or No

It's VERY rare for that to happen.
That's why I say, "no".
But I get why some could see it happening again sometime, on a really bad day where he's trying to catch up and is under a ton of pressure.

And thats the problem. Our routes force those type of throws. Other teams have guys open with space more quickly than ours, and we keep having Witten as that less than 1st down check down... To me I think other teams even let it happen as they know he's not a threat to go over
the middle deep.

Dak isn't obviously going to go out and turn the ball over 4times every week but last year's Dak isn't coming back unless the OL plays flawlessly again.

Time to embrace Dak (at least until we find a franchise signal caller) for what he is, a middle of the road starting QB. I think he'll have a good long career as a 3rd-tier starting QB or a backup, but if you want a franchise QB its time to start looking elsewhere.

It falls on coaching. They need to help our players by coming up with a better game plan. When something works they go away from it. Help your young QB
