@FuzzyLumpkins ....here's one of my subsequent responses, in that thread alone...... the comparisons to Allen, Stafford and Cousins were to verify whether this low 55 Rating was normal (or an outlier) and whether all four of them had a similar drop in performance when chasing that lead .....they didnt (and their differential wasnt half as marked as Daks).....this isnt necessarily a knock on overall Dak, BUT CERTAINLY CANT BE IGNORED, ESPECIALLY WHEN OUR LAST TWO SEASON ENDING GAMES ENDED IN THIS MANNER. Indeed, it may well be that we're better suited to going all out and taking risks (both sides of the ball) earlier on, as we arent great chasing a team down.
I looked up the stats to see how Dak's career figures stacked up when he had a lead as opposed to in hurry-up offense when trailing....the findings are quite dramatic.
Dak
Leading <2 min to go - 146 RTG
Leading <4 min to go - 106
Trailing <2 min to go - 55
Trailing <4 - 73
Excellent when he had a lead, but dramatic downturn when chasing. Just for a bit of context: Allen, Stafford and Cousins all had Ratings of over 80 in each of the trailing categories.
Mr Hyde does seem to come out when the pressure's on and the clocks ticking.
