Calm QBs in the face of danger

[Rayman70]

Is he calm in regular season? Isn't the issue specific scenario's with his composure when going behind by 7 and his response?
The 'Better Defense' argument keeps him in the game.... however as he failed to show in the two SF play-off loses ....he'll still need to step up.
The issue is that good teams know not to blitz Dak.....his struggles are in tight windows.

we agree from what you're saying and that is the fact It's a team game. His receivers are barely adequate outside of Lamb. Yeah, his tight window throws are so rare that its hard to recall any except maybe the San Diego game last year where he threw an absolute dime to Cooks in the endzone for a TD. That was very impressive. But he doesn't do that enough. I agree.

I don't know how it can be viewed as a team game if one of the players is going to get 20% of the CAP.... responsibility's got to, in part, reflect financial remuneration....especially if his play is a contributory factor.

 

[Rayman70]

Lol, getting another QB might be cheaper.

Yes and I've always thought they would draft Arch Manning, and I still feel that way. They are playing the long game. They figure if we win a couple big games until Arch is available, then its all gravy. They LOVE the program at Texas and they do have an infatuation with Arch Manning and that family.

Cap money aside, its a team game. The money doesn't change that. BUT the QB position is the most vital, yet reliant on a support group working in unison to get the job done. For instance, you need a high level LT,Center and decent running back that can also pass block. You can survive at wr if you have those core things I just mentioned, but you dang well better have a HC that can lead and put together a scheme and a good plan. We lack leaders and I'm not talking about choir boys like Dak. Good dude but he aint a dawg. I never seen him get into a players face and get fiery. I want guys that hold each other to account and refuse to have a let down or collapse. I don't mind losing, but I cannot stand quitting!! We about to find out soon what kind of team we might have.

I hope you are wrong in your assumption of Jerry Jones' plan. The NFL is not college, where targeted players are bid for and usually obtained.

Drafting a targeted player, years in advance, contains too many variables--especially if Manning is the number one prospect coming into the draft. Valued players are targeted by other teams as well.

I criticize Jones a lot but even I highly doubt he would commit to selecting a player before an actual draft--especially one that far is down the road. That would be extremely bad decision making, even for him.

 

[Brooksey]

Most TD passes versus the blitz since 2021

Except in the Playoffs or against any team above .500... not named Philadelphia.

At least Dak kills the Eagles, it is the one thing I admire about him

I hope I am wrong too

Yep....Only Stafford and Mahomes have been great QBs drafted since 2016.

Dak Haters have been feeling like Drake fans.....for the past 8 years.

The Football Culture doesn't believe your Dak Hate

who has rings and who does not dude?

 

[Coogiguy03]

All you are doing is throwing a big spotlight on Dak's playoff struggles. It is painting a picture of yet another overpaid choker. Come playoff time all of the magic stats people like to hoist Dak upon suddenly disappear and a crap QB is all that remains.

This!!!

 

[FoxF]

Maybe this team and especially MANAGEMENT hasn’t been that good and Dak has been carrying us and is better than we think? I mean it would look the same in theory, 1 player can only do so much in the NFL.

 

[shabazz]

.......it only matters what Jerry thinks.

 

[75boyz]

My favorites at this were Troy and Kurt Warner.
Staring down the gun barrel of that oncoming defender yet still standing in there to make the accurate throw.
All while getting absolutely lit up upon releasing the throw.
Takes some special balls/courage to be able to do that.

Im seeing this comment a lot. So...since only what jerry thinks matters...we might as well close up shop here.

yes thats it

Vs the Blitz doesnt nevessary mean he is under pressure.

There was a site showing qb performance under pressure. Back in the days for romo and those who played during those times. If i find some time i will post it here.

according to those stats Romo was one of the worst qbs under pressure. Those you consider elite like arod etc were top noch aganst pressure. I think arod was #4 in that list.

Then against the Blitz romo was like #2 or#3. So that says exactly nothing about the abilities against pressure.

 

[MWH1967]

Dak has all the intangibles except the one that matters.

right, I was on one of the threads on Twitter about this and there were some people still saying how these were garbage touchdowns are you kidding me since when do blitzes happen in garbage time when teams give up they don't usually blitz and all teams when they're up big or down big can put up stats and over 17 games almost all teams are gonna even out in the garbage time versus real time stats so all that nonsense about building stats and garbage time is ridiculous in this day and age when teams are coming back from 24 points like really quick like in the fourth quarter you're never out of it of course you're gonna keep trying to score and even if you come up short three points and lose that is not garbage time those were all built trying to come back..

But I agree I mean no matter what stat you put up someone's gonna try to counter it because I don't like Prescott they wanna get rid of them because they're gonna keep bringing up the playoffs or garbage time or all the other nonsense you can't read defenses and stuff because they don't want to admit he's one of the top quarterbacks in the league and it's gonna be tough to replace him... I'm not saying we should never move on I'm not saying we should overpay the guy but it's ridiculous that hate this dude gets and I thought after Tony Romo there's no way we'd ever have another player that was this picked apart and hated and well I was wrong.. There is a record amount of new threads started that go on for months on the hate train for Prescott and it gets old really old because it's ridiculous...

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

Now show how many TDs Dak has thrown against a Cover 2 defense.

How many has he thrown?

Alltime Rankings, best QBR under pressure
Rodgers #1
Dak #5
Romo #12
Aikman not in top 25
Doesnt go back to 1970’s.. Joe Montana is earliest they have

Same Rankings for 2023
Purdy #1
Dak #2
Cousins #3

I assume they are using QB pressures, not sacks, and of course depends on if you buy into QBR.
But not that surprising. As good of an arm as Aikman had, he couldn’t scramble for plays like Romo, Dak and of course the great Staubach.
And last year, even if the playoffs were another disappointment, Dak had to scramble for his life plenty games to make something happen.

Never heard this. Do you have facts to back it up? Not saying it’s not true, I hope it is, but have just never heard it.
