Same thing can be said of our defense. For us to have a chance they also need to play better than they have been the past few weeks. It's a team game, it's not just about Dak, but how well the team plays as a whole.
Agreed. Both Dak and D need to show up in a ginormous way on Sat night! This is Dak's opportunity to shut the naysayers (like myself) down.

It’s almost as if some want Dak to fail. I just don’t get it. Rooting for Dak to fail is rooting for Dallas to fail and in doing so, you have to question, how much of a fan are you? Truly?
Not the ole silence criticism under the you want someone to fail and or you're a hater card? Can us humans please stop with this lazy narrative? Some just don't think Dak is the man. No need to overthink it and think that means they want the Boys to fail. They just think they are because of his lack of talent which isn't the same thing as wanting them to fail.

I don't get that either. Honestly I like Dak as a leader and his character off the field is off the charts. I do have issues with his play more often than not but Dak failing (esp in the position we're in right now) helps no true DC Cowboy fan.

Fans just Trolling the hate crowd. I say he’s above average but not elite, only 2-3 Elite QB’s in the entire league right now and that’s debatable....
Nah they aren't trolling they are serious. Why would anybody make theirselves look stupid on purpose just to troll someone? That dog don't hunt. You go around telling most folks anywhere else that Dak some elite QB most folks going to assume you're stupid regarding football stuff and who wants to be thought of as stupid in anything even if they are? I don't know those people.

So you're a Dak fanboy I take it? How many games would you say it was mainly Dak that carried the team and not those other players/group you mentioned?

“Fanboy”? Uhhh... I wouldn’t say that. I have been watching football a long time. IMO— Dak is a 3rd year QB that has flaws for sure, but also upside.

Posting a 32-16 record in 3 years is impressive— despite the flaws. You don’t win that many games if you can’t play the QB position at all.

He is not as bad as the haters say he is— nor is he is as good as others make him out to be. And he is not done improving — I think he has done enough in 3 years to show he is a starting caliber QB in the NFL— but he needs to work on some flaws in order to optimize his game

Its a question not a statement. I don't count records as a QB stat. Its stupid and I don't care who on tv uses it its just stupid for people to parrot that junk as a QB stat period. Do people say Byron Jones has a 32-16 record or any other position so that why I can't let people hit me over the head with that bogus QB "stat". You can win that many games if the team around you is good which has been the case for Dak since he's been here not just by being some world beater QB. Try again on that front.

I agree with bold but when people make things slanted it usually shows what side they are on in a particular discussion hence why I asked you the question I did. If you would've said bold in the post I quoted I wouldn't even quoted you. You seem rationale and not an extremist on either side and I can always get with that lol.

It all depends on how Dak plays. It not about a win or lose.

It is about winning. Frankly I don't care if Dak throws for under 200 yards and it is Zeke having a big day. What I do care about is making the plays when you need them and of course produce in the redzone, be it by ground or air. In a playoff situation where winner moves on loser goes home winning is the only stat that matters.

In fairness, using the term "fanboy" is automatically gonna put someone on the defensive, as much as being called a hater.

That's true. Just used to talking to friends like this so I bring it online too. I guess IRL people don't take it as defensive and we just laugh about it so no I figure no big deal but that's my mistake.

Still draws your interest, I see, my little puppy dog.
Yep it drawed my interest because you're trying to be like pappydog but with Zeke instead and its failing. As for the little puppy crack you should just be true

Dak faces one of three Dak killer defenses this Saturday. If he follows his normal MO he will hold on to the ball too long and fumble. His accuracy is inconsistent making for turn overs. He will be sacked a dozen times and may not make it through the game. If he does not follow his MO then we have a chance to win until we meet the Bears who have the second Dak killer defense.

I agree. Take all stats and throw them in trash because they mean nothing. We find out Saturday night who Dak is. Cousins also has bunch of big stats but he is last guy I want in big games. I don't see obvious weakness on Cowboys so I expect a win.

BTW, offer still stands.
Are you in NY or will be up here soon? If not sdad. I'd love to do the world a favor and I promise on everything it will be done and play with it if you want to. I'm begging for you to make it happen until then spare me.

Seattle knows our defense very well because of Richard and they are going to follow the Giants strategy with run and short passing to wear our defense out. Dak will be sack smashed all day long. One and done for the Cowboys this year.
