Now list all the QBs who have taken their team further in the playoffs than Dak has since he joined the league. I'll wait...
There’s 13 active starting QB’s who got their teams to conference championship games as starting QB’s…
7 of them are Flacco, Rodgers, Wilson, Tannehill, Stafford, Keenum, and Jimmy G. Whether it’s age or rapid decline, none of those are viable options moving forward (maybe could make an argument Stafford)
The other 6 are Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Goff, Hurts and Purdy.
I think most fans have a wildly distorted view of the QB position in the NFL. At any given time there are maybe 5 human beings walking the earth that you could say “this guy playing QB gives us a great chance of going to the Super Bowl.”
Now I’m not saying Dak is 1 of them, but you also have to be realistic about the alternatives.
