I know what people are gonna say:
"The offensive line gave him time to tie his shoes."
"It's the Lions. Without Stafford."
"He has so much weapons."
But still... a QB is benefitted by 4 items. A defense, a running game, an offensive line, and wide receiver.
He had only 2 of these things today... receivers and offensive line. And his #1 receiver was blanketed by Slay all day. Coop made a few plays against Slay, but for the most part Slay took him away. Take out Cooper, and our receiving corps is probably the same level as the Lions, and Dak still threw for 444 yards. His 4th of the year, need I mention. (ok... so he came 3 yards shy against the Vikings.... but that's basically a 400 yard game)
I'm in no way saying that Dak is Aaron Rodgers because of what he did in one game, but let's be serious here. He's been doing this consistently. Anyone who watched the Vikings game last week should come to expect that Dak would do the exact thing today. It's nothing new at this point. Dak has had 2 MVP type years, and in 2018 looked like someone who can completely turn himself around under the worst situations - not easy to find QBs who can do that in this league. He is setting records this year with insane numbers. Could possibly pass 5000 yards passing. You can't just take a 5000 yard year away from anyone. it's ludicruous to reason around that, and not think that only high-level players can do that.
We're so lucky to have him. Pay this man. NOW.
