He is not a dink and dunk as much as many want people to believe.
But stats don't fit their agenda, so therefore are ignored in their world.

Also look at the play caller at times and not so much the QB. Though Dak has his faults, but lets see how and if they have been corrected come regular season. As we know we won't see him in the PS games.

Dak has the best winning % of any QB not named Brady the last 3 years.

Dak is not a gunslinger and he knows he's not a gunslinger.

Dak is a dink and dunk QB and a crunch time champion. He plays the first three quarters taking what the defense gives him, while trying not to make a mistake. But in the fourth, if they need him to, he delivers. And that's exactly the type of play you want from a non-gunslinging QB. That's the type of QB play you want in a run first offense. So Dak and this offense can get us into the playoffs every year. Offense is not the problem.

Its those other guys.

Big facts. His play doesn't put us in a hole early on. But he's a gamer and a winner.

I think @percyhoward had a thread on this before? I know it's at least been covered in multiple.
Here, and in the twitter thread from the OP as well. The upshot is that Dak is conservative through three quarters, and then lets loose late in close games.

15+yd targets by quarter
(as a percentage of total attempts)
1st Dal 12.8% NFL 17.2%
2nd Dal 14.6% NFL 18.3%
3rd Dal 9.2% NFL 17.4%
4th/OT Dal 18.9% NFL 18.6%
Late & Close Dal 25.7% NFL 20.0%

This is a great analysis of Dak’s game.
