So, this is certainly not meant to be a Dak-hate thread. I know many of us have taken a "show me" approach with Dak. I was one of his biggest defenders until last season when I had to start acknowledging that many of the negative narratives, while often over-exaggerated, had quite a bit of truth to them.
I don't follow other teams and players around the league like I do Dallas, so my question is how many of the best/ top 5 QBs in the league have overcome a similar lack of WR depth and patchwork O-line Dak is seemingly going to have to work with this year and gone on to make a playoff run? I know Rodgers is constantly brought up (though having Devante Adams certainly helps). Maybe Brady in New England a few years? I'm just trying to wrap my head around what point the offensive roster gets to where it's fair to cut Dak a break, even with his contract. I know myself and many others feel like this is a prove it/make it or break it year for Dak, and I guess I wonder at what point do I reconsider that? Since Dak is paid like a top QB it makes me wonder how many other top QBs have been in a comparable situation and still gone on to excel? I think we could also apply the same question about Kellen. The OC is going to have to get creative in an unpredictable way.
