Lol

Yes, with wins against teams that are a combined 15-43-1 if you count the Giants twice.

Good thing he doesn't have to play the Jets again.

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.

Dak grew and improved his game. Many have been saying be patient while others wanted to kick him to the curb. We knew he had the mindset, work ethic, and leadership....now the skill, play, and understanding of the game is starting to take off. You see, all it takes is patience. Its not as simple as plucking a well seasoned QB off the vine.

If Dak gets even a good 300 vs the Pats D he needs to be in the MVP discussion (and by that I mean not 100 coming from 4th quarter fruitless playing from behind yards)

We will beat NE, and yes he will be in the discussion.

He is the league's leading QB in yards and one of the top rated and near the top in QBR

He played a good game today. I won't take that away from him.
He looks like he's improving.
But his test is going to be against playoff teams.
So give him his due today. But the true test still awaits.

Test? Dak passed this test already since 2016.

But he hasn't pass the test in terms of taking this team deep into the playoffs.
You know as well as I do that quarterbacks are graded based on their playoff and Super Bowl success.
I know many Cowboy fans are eager to anoint Dak as having "arrived," but this standard was around before Dak became a Cowboys quarterback, and we can't alter it simply because he's enjoying a run of success.
His TEST is going to come when he plays playoff-caliber teams in the playoffs and leads the Cowboys deeper into the playoffs.
And that's not going to change.

You are basing this on how many 8-8 records Dak has led us to this point? Interesting.

In your world— the fact that we have never had an 8-8 season with Dak at QB equates to the “fact” that we will have many more years of 8-8 records to come.

Solid logic my man

Stop altering the standard. You know as well as I as well as everybody on this board that we measure quarterbacks based on their ability to get to Super Bowls and win Super Bowls. Unless a quarterback stands out like Dan Marino, then quarterbacks are measured not just by getting into the playoffs but going deeper.
But it seems like we're so obsessed with proving that Dak is elite that we're willing to ignore this standard when it comes to Dak.
Dak is doing well. But the REALITY is that he's doing well, for the most part, against bad defenses.
He still needs to take this team to an NFC Championship and a Super Bowl.
Right now, he's similar to Donovan McNabb minus the NFC Championship and Super Bowl appearances.
I like his leadership and his improvement too. But I still expect more from him, as I would of any Cowboys quarterback.
We have a standard that the Cleveland Browns and Detroit Lions fans don't have for their quarterbacks.

Dak is on pace to throw for 5000+ yds this season. Stop the non-sense about how great Romo was. Romo won 2 wc games in just ten years, all with the benefit of a hof coach Parcells. Dak has played for one of the most inept, powerless hc in recent history.
