oh get off it already. Rush sucked. he was down right awful. 180 yards per game passing. and he had 0.5 interceptions less than dak per game. that train was about to get to a big wreck before he got off. his last two outings he had 76 yards passing and 3 interceptions...how many games are you going to win in a season passing for 76 yards. so this click you heels three times and you are back in kansas dorothy type dream is got to stop. oh the level of stupidity
Rush 4-1
Dak 6-3
Stats that matter
Would Dak have been 4-1 in those games not a chance. Dak played the giants with a secondary who had practiced together for 2 days not to mention the hapless Texans
Dak is gone, for the team, the sooner the better

The problem with Dak is that when his first read is not there or he gets confused he will no longer tuck it and run. He stays in the pocket and tries to make something happen. He needs to tuck it and run. Combine that with the way he handles the read option and we have a one dimensional QB. He was never going to run on that read option and the defense knew it. Even on the QB sneaks he looks as though he wants no part of them. Guess that is what 160 million in the bank will do to a player.

There have been several games where the television announcers have shown Dak going through his progressions. He goes to his second and third read often. I agree, he does try too hard to make something happen, but it's not that he's confused, he has turned into Tony Romo in one sense - he doesn't know when to "run away and fight another day". Like this last game, on the third down play he should have thrown the ball away or taken the sack, then the Cowboys could punt. Better to hope your defense can hold than to risk exactly what happened, a turnover.

Dak needs to learn how to play the entire game, not just his position....

OMG, lets nominate rush for HOF. he is so great. he is so dreamy...ooooohhhh (in a teenage girl voice for all you Rush Crush supporters).

but based on your response, I assume wins and losses are all on the QB and its a QB stat. correct?

and funny you are coming up for excuses to ding Dak, but when Rush had 76 yards total passing, you just say it was a win to his credit!!!

yeah, you don't have an agenda to drive.

Pretty much. the 2016 QB draft class is not impressive. Dak is Goff and Wentz with a better story and a better personality. The Eagles and Rams figured this out and moved on from their franchise guys and won super bowls with a backup and a retread. Eagles look like they're doing it again with a drafted QB. But they have real GMs and we have idiots.

Goff has been to a Superbowl and this year is 6th in the NFL in ESPN QBR and 9th in QB rating -- both ahead of Dak.

Goff isn't a superstar but he has been surprisingly solid in Detroit.

30 passes aren't bad. My problem is the sequence that led to the 1st interception, the final series in regulation, some redzone plays, and the type of routes ran.
No doubt the first pick was a terrible throw by Dak, other than that Dak played well enough to win the game.

The routes and plays come from Moore and should be held accountable for just a terrible scheme with route concepts

yeah, Dak doesn't belong in the league. all his wins are just false wins. any wins is because of everybody else and Rush wins are based on his management of the game, and his leadership rallying the defense.

yeah, Dak is not even good enough for XFL.

Tell me you've never seen a quarterback come into the NFL and have great success for a few years and then all of the sudden he disappears?
That happens because the league discovers his faults. once they're discovered you have 2 choices try to adjust the system or try to adjust the quarterback. Both those horses are out of the barn. Sadly it will become more and more obvious.
I feel bad for everybody including Dak

You're right. I completely forgot about their super bowl appearance with him. I was just focused on Stafford. Yes I agree that Goff is more solid and consistent than Dak, he just plays for Detroit and doesn't get a lot of attention. Thanks for the heads up.

Dak got payed, Dak and Tad are happy campers at this point.
There will come a day very soon when Dak is not on this team anymore and still getting payed by Jerry...lol
Dak will never see a starting gig outside of total desperation by another franchise in need due to injury.
Career BUs in this league have done very well for themselves financially.
Its just how desperate the league is.

That's the worst in the league.

The game ending pick 6 wasn't on him.

But the miss on Schultz in their own 20 was a terrible throw.

Prescott needs to clean up his game fast.
10 picks including week 8...or in his last 7 games
Leads the league by a mile in that span


The 8 picks league-leading stat in that span was before this week.
It's 10 now

I like Dak but it's almost like he has to throw at least one interception a game. It's weird because he threw only 4 as a rookie. He's trying to do much, imo. Just being a bus driver would work out better.

Not to mention he's had several ints dropped like 2 against the lions that were directly into DBs hands and dropped.
Good lord I don't even want him to pass against the eagles.
Kellyn Moore is doing the best he can.
hes got Pollard and the TEs running wheel routes hes got CDLamb running really shallow crossing routes I mean like 3 yds deep all in an effort to give him targets close in.
Apologize if this has been mentioned, but in the third quarter, Dak threw a pass behind Shultz and #52, Jags Davon Hamilton got his hands on it for an instant, dropped it. Foxs Greg Olsen mentioned it, same BS about "gotta catch those" etc.
The next play dak connected with Lamb for a 35 yard catch.

5 of those 9 interceptions aren't his fault. 3 in the last 2 games were because linemen got beat and people hit his arm as he was throwing and another hit Brown right in the hands and he tipped up to the defender.

Dak needs to share in the blame for the offensive struggles for sure, but looking at one stat with no context is silly.

How many of those picks were tipped or off the hands of recievers?
Probably more then half.

Has been the main issue, and has exposed other weaknesses.
QBs in this league have more protection than any other player on the field in today's game.
Not having a physical running QB that allows an offense to take advantage of that is just playing yesterday's game.
Dak had high ceiling his rookie season, but age and injuries have curtailed those expectations, and that is just the physical implications.
