Dak concerning trend of losing big games

[Jkyle]

I know it's not all his fault but we've seen a multi-year pattern of Dak not winning big games.
He does great against average to bad teams but comes up short.
He get's paid $40 million to win those games and he almost always fails.
Dak is a great talker but his skills have diminished as far as becoming an above average QB.

Pack was 3-6. This wasn't even that big of a game. If a little, "win one for the Gipper" is all it takes to make this team fold then we're in very big trouble.

He will never be able to put the team on his shoulders and win games. He has to have help, as do the majority of other QBs - not named Mahomes, Rodgers, etc.

Problem is, he's getting paid like he's on their level.

The bad thing was Rodgers was looking terrible till we came to town.

Lol. You’re just now concerned? This dude has been a liability for years. The entire team has been doing this since the late 90s.

This Was not even a big game against a good team.

The opponent had a losing record.

Still choked and played poorly

...but the other QBs have decent coaching staffs to work with, get groomed by, get taught, and have owners that stay out the way.

To all saying this wasn't a Big Game against a 3-6 team misses the point. This was a big game given the setting and the QB we were playing.
QB's measure themselves against each other and Dak never seems to meet that challenge.
Plus, his team is in a fight to catch the Eagles so keeping pace makes it a big game.

We're watching him regress yearly as a football player.

The other concerning trend in such games? Lousy run defense.

Dak is Dak, he's not going to magically transform into someone else. But for crying out loud, can we ever fix the run defense? How many years does it take?

He is magically transforming into a worse version of himself as a QB though.

He won't run the ball, he's slow and plodding, he's turning it over, he makes bone head decisions, and his accuracy is as bad as I've seen it in 7 years....

He's regressed and is magically becoming someone else, in a worse way though lol

Just in time for his salary numbers to go up. His play will deteriorate and his salary will go up. Sounds like the perfect Jerry Jones cap hell situation again.

 

[Carson]

I mean outside of the playoffs against Seattle and at New England last season he is anti clutch in big games

 

[zrinkill]

It's not a trend anymore ..... It's just reality.

Not his fault. It's Jerry's.

Very true. We shouldn't be mad at Dak because of the money he is making, we should be mad at Jerry Jones for sighing Dak to that ridiculous contract in the first place..

Dak has been given plenty of opportunities to win these big games but has failed. I think the last game he came from behind to win was Atlanta in 2020. The issue with the past game is we were up 28-14 so you can’t really blame Dak for this one.

Don't worry, next year they'll restructure him and kick that can down the road a few years. He's not going anywhere folks, strap in, turbulence ahead.

No crap. Doesn't change the fact he's going to be taking up 20% of the cap the next two seasons, so that's going to limit getting him the help he needs.

And it's not just Jerry's fault, it's all owners fault for allowing the QB market to get out of control like this.
