Dak is playing Top 5 QB right now. I knew he'd progress, but he has exceeded my expectations and I am not disappointed.
3000+ yards on the season with 6 (or more) games to go is nothing to scoff at.
Yesterday was one of the absolute best games I think he's ever played. He used his legs at times, he stepped up in the pocket, made throws on the run, big 1st or 3rd down's. Dude's a monster that many teams are going to regret looking down on...

Rodgers vs. Detroit: 24 of 39 (61.5 completion percentage), 283 yards, 2 TDs, 1 int.

Prescott vs. Detroit: 29 of 46 (63.0), 444 yards, 3 TDs, 0 ints.

And yet everyone knows Rodgers is the better QB.

Dak has improved quite a bit and looks to be getting even better, though. Let’s see how the season plays out.

Somebody needs to remind me why we paid a RB 90 mill, when it's more of a passing league now, and our passing game is working better.

True, but he came out lame against the Saints, Packers, and Vikings. He didn't help the cause in those games.

If he plays really well against the Patriots, Bills, Eagles, and Rams, and they win three of those games, then he can be in the conversation.

In the meantime, others are playing great against good competition.

I understand all of that, need the wins also in big games against tougher teams. But GB has had down years and missed the playoffs, but yet Rodgers name is repeatedly brought up as an MVP candidate.

I am not saying Dak should be MVP by any means at this point, no QB should be. Just wanted to bring it up. Throw it out there for conversation. See the reactions for the most part.

Because the opposing defenses are worried about that RB eating them alive. It helps the passing game. Plus we have a lot of stud WR's.

Rodgers played against Matt Stafford and Carreon Johnson. The Lions had the ball a lot.

C'mon.
When did Matt Stafford and Carreon Johnson start playing defense?

You are reaching to try and save face.

Rodgers had ample opportunities to perform up to Dak’s level with 39 pass attempts....
But he failed to reach Dak’s level..

He's got that star on his helmet, which is the biggest PR campaign known to mankind. If he plays well against Belichick and they win this game, he'll definitely be in the conversation.

Hell, I'll drive the bus.

He's better this year. Moore and Kitna have made a big difference, and no doubt the guy works his tail off to get better. No issues whatsoever there.

He's taking chances now, which is great. He's just got to do it for four quarters against good teams.

But $90Mill?

Zeke has become 3-4 yards and a cloud of dust.

Meanwhile, the passing game has been getting it done.

Then Dakota should have no problem heaping up yards on the Patriots. If he has the most yards and is a top 5 QB like many are posting here, he should ball out against them

Ya cant have it both ways. Either he puts up or many will have to shut up...….but of course his apologists will come out of the woodworking fluffing his performance.

Next couple weeks will tell the tale. Ya'll getting nervous? :laugh:

Rodgers was the better quarterback. I'm not sure that he still is. This isn't prime Rodgers, but he's still quite good.

You should realize by now that stats don't matter to me. They tell about 25% of the story.

The Lions were neutered yesterday. We basically beat the Dolphins again. They had no teeth. No weapons. No quarterback. We should have beaten them by 30 points. Dak had all day to throw against an exhausted Lions defense. Their offense couldn't stay on the field for much of the game, even against our lousy defense.

Dak threw an easy pick 6 early against Minnesota that would have made it 21-0. Game over. Fortunately, the guy dropped it right in his chest.

Philly is terrible. They have no receivers or running backs. Their offensive line is a sieve. They're really lucky to be 5-5. They're terrible.
