Jimmy G- no way I’m taking him over Dak
Jared Goff- no way
Wentz- nope
Russell Wilson, yes
Lamar Jackson, nope, not if we want to pass down the field a lot
Sam Darnold- have to joking
Kirk Cousins- have to be joking, will NEVER win anything
Josh Allen- this is not serious
Patrick Mahomes- duh
Matt Ryan- good QB, will never win anything
Matthew Stafford- decent QB, will never win anything
so some of those guys he picked are probably better pure throwers than Dak. Dak isn’t a great pure thrower. But he is a leader, a scrapper, and a great runner, and a good enough thrower. I feel like the options to pick up a key first down late in a game with Dak are much wider than most. Stafford, Cousins, Goff, Jimmy G., Ryan....if the coverage is great they are throwing it away, punt. Or in Cousins case, an INT. Dak can get a lot with his legs and/or buy time to lengthen the play and enable WRs to get open.
Feel like in these debates this gets forgotten. It’s oftentimes a game changer, despite folks (ironically) putting Lamar Jackson over Dak. Dak isn’t the best QB in the league but he’s in the upper third and he’s plenty good enough to win with. I have a difficult time believing people would take a lot of those guys above over Dak in a hard fought, must win game if they really had to make that choice.
