I just don't know. Dak has got me baffled. I was a big Dak supporter his rookie year. I've supported him pretty much up to a few months ago. Now I just don't know. I was ready to get rid of him yesterday. That was about the angriest I've been with him but then he comes back and is clutch down the stretch. He keeps winning.

Perhaps you need to realize that even NFL QB's are human and can make mistakes. What separates the average QB's from the great one's is the will and the ability to persevere even when the game is going bad.

Any comments on the offensive coordinator/QB Coach/Offensive line injures-bad play/ bad route concepts / being forced into plays and not allowed to change plays as he so stubbornly did last night? Any comments on any of that stuff?
Yeah, Garrett and Linehan suck!! How's that? Lol!!

What I know is that offense dominated that first half and it should have been a blow out. The inability to score TDs especially in the first half is troubling. Now I don't know who's fault that is but it is a problem. Dak's turnovers gave the Eagles life. But Dak does have a habit of bouncing back and leading this team when we need it.

These discussions are not an all or nothing. The QB position is not equally important to each team but carries a great deal of weight just by the sheer number of times they touch the ball and can affect each play.

When someone is being critical of the QB, you shouldn't assume that the person feels that all the other players are performing excellent. We don't need that disclaimer.

Dak's struggles with the issues I spoke about are something that he has been dealing with before the pros. If he can continue to enhance and improve the passing attack, then I can understand the need to extend him.
With all due respect, @Blitzen, I can guarantee you the decision has already been made by Jerry and Stephen to extend Dak's contract. It's just a matter of how much.

Dak made some dumb mistakes. The Oline made some dumb mistakes. Maher made another dumb mistake. Etc.

Yesterday, Dak was stepping up and taking some downfield shots in the passing game. It wasn't perfect but I will take the bad with the good because I believe that vertical game is an area for Dak that will mature over time and with experience. And it is absolutely required of him to develop if he wants to reduce the amount of blitzing and enjoy the full benefits of Zeke without stacked fronts.

Prescott took a nice step in the right direction yesterday. Now, I hope he takes the next step and continues to build on this progress.

Problem is there are some here who do want Dak to do poorly so they can be RIGHT. That’s why they disappear or don’t give him credit when he pulls out a win.

Both sides of an argument seem to want to be right. We all want the super bowl. I don't worry too much about being right because it's all speculation either way and I'm not getting paid for my opinion.

The OL gets brought up a lot, but it seems like nearly every team we play and in every other game I watch on TV there’s 1 to 3 injuries in everybody’s OL. I don’t think that can be used as an excuse in this era of huge guys that are injury prone.

Now you know Dak is the only one to blame. Just like some doofus said to me was Dak is the only player in the team not playing at championship level........ Haha
