Crazy Dak Stat

[Bleu Star]

Our Cowboys are 25-1 in games where Dak does not turn the ball over.

Yet we won Saturday despite that one turnover.

What does that say about stats? Or better yet, what does that say about the evolution of this young team?

IMO... it shows mental toughness. The offense responded with a legendary drive that put them up by 10 points with 2 mins left.

Dak and the entire team refused to be denied. We have been watching a young team grow up before our eyes this season and they have overcome a lot of adversity to do so

Proud of em... and they ain’t done yet

So, what’s his record when he turns the ball over once?

You can always find a stat to support either side of any argument. Stats are like suppositories and we all know what you can do with them.

In games he turns the ball over he’s 8-15, not sure about games with just 1 turnover though.

25-1 is impressive no matter how you slice it.

I feel like lots of QBs have really good records when they don't turn the ball over.

It says ball don't lie.

@Bleu Star, prepare yourself for the onslaught of "stat-haters"

Look, I am not a mathematician, nor am I an expert on statistical analysis. However, I have used statistics, probability theory and stochastic analysis throughout my engineering career. Not to lecture, but stating the Cowboys are 25-1 when Dak doesn't turn the ball over is an excellent example of descriptive statistics -- that is, it summarizes a data set. I would argue the sampling size of 48 games over 3 years is sufficiently large enough to analyze trends and draw conclusions.

Drawing conclusions from the data is more in the realm of inferential statistics. What should follow is "why's and what's?" -- basically, a root cause analysis -- as in, why was Dak turn-over free for 26 games? Why did he have multiple turnovers in other games? And, so forth... This is really where "money ball" or advanced analytics comes in and, despite rumors to the contrary, I would be shocked if Dallas wasn't all over the analytical side of their performance

We have a very good TEAM that can win with an offense that ranked 22nd in TDs scored. Afraid to see our record if our defense was giving up 500 yards a game like they did for so many years.

says alot about #4.
he's growing-up right before our faces.
Dak is a special dude.
HANDLE.BUSINESS.

 

[Idgit]

It says you didn’t tell us anything about how often we win with giving up one turnover.

Note: Regular season statistics do not matter in the postseason. More importantly, regular season records and rankings also do not.

1-0

 

[EST_1986]

must be a some type of arbitrary record right?

 

[Bobhaze]

Turnover stats are kind of self explanatory. If you turn the ball over, especially more than once, your chances of winning regardless of who’s playing QB are greatly diminished.

I think we need to appreciate what we are seeing with Dak this year. He’s learning how to play within himself much better. He is learning to minimize his limitations, while also learning to maximize his strengths- like his ability to run at key moments, and his mental toughness, which is top shelf.

 

[DFWJC]

It says we have a strong defense and run game, so don't mess it up

Meh, 25-1 is pretty phenomenal. I dont think that's a common number.
