Dak could not have done what Rodgers just did

I have no idea how you can place Dak in the "average" category. He's been rated between 5-7 (or higher) in almost every poll and catagory. That's not average.

OK.

If others say he is not average you are certainly right.

It’s like the OP focused on the fact that the Packers were missing a bunch of starters.

However, didn’t watch the game and how the Packer’s players actually did play.

The Packers as a team played a really good game on Thursday Night. Just because some starters were missing doesn’t mean other players didn’t step up. They get paid too ya know.
Not watching games is his thing. He's just filtering national media narratives through his native language and hitting post reply to fight people. This place is dominated by irrational, uninformed trolls

Another thing..

Cooper is injured..

Lamb is great but he can drop passes at times.

Wilson was our 4th string guy.

Schultz looks like a top 7 NFL TE and we all know he is a product of the system.

Gallup hasn’t played since the first half of week 1.


His best support has been the OL and Zeke + Pollard.
In addition to everything you said, our RT has been suspended, our DL is depleted, and our LG and center have each had some rough spots.

Lots of post here compare Dak to Manning, Brady, and paint Dak as an MVP front-runner. I like to share a different perspective.

Rodgers missing his top 3 receivers, 3 O-line man including David Bakhtiari, and his defensive coordinator--went into Arizona and beat the hottest team in football. That game is the definition of a QB doing more with less. That is a true MVP caliber QB and that someone who should be pay 40 millions a year.

Is that Dak? Can Dak do what Rodgers just did? Has Dak ever won against the best team in the league while being significantly undermanned? If we didn't have Lamb, Cooper, Gallup, missing 3 O-lineman, no Dan Quinn, and a running game that not as good as Zeke/Pollard, would we have beaten the Cardinals in their home? Rodgers has only thrown one pick this year, while Dak threw a pick against the lowly Giants.

Dak does "enough" for this team to win games because our roster is stack. He has only beaten the worst team in the league (Lions, Falcons, Giants, Eagles), without a running game in his entire career. He has not even beaten a single average team when the running game is absent.

Dak is not an MVP front-runner but he is in the conversation. Put any other top 10 QB on this team and they would do the same or better; Dalton is a backup, not a starter. Dak is not a top 5 QB but he is a fringe top 10 QB who look better thanks to the talent on this team and our division. I do think we have the #1 overall rosters with few flaw while having a decent amount of depth. Depth that team like the Rams, Cardinals, Bucs, Packers, and others don't have.
Shut up khiladi lol

post super bowl win.
he is 0-4 in NFC title games since.
but you already knew that.
OVER.
RATED.

0-4 without McCarthy. Dak still has a lot to show and prove as an NFL QB. but so does Rodgers and one of the things is proving he can get to a Super Bowl and win one without McCarthy. Because the media narrative has often been McCarthy was the problem and the one holding Rodgers back. No excuses for why Rodgers shouldn't win at least one without McCarthy, since the media and others have crowned him to be so elite and great.

You said 0-4. You didnt mention anything about post Super Bowl win. It's really cheap to just discount a persons success to call them over rated. Seems pretty clear to me that you just dont like the guy, and you are blowing up one detail to try and validate an emotionally based argument

If a person said Rodgers was a deserving first ballot HOFer, they would get very few valid arguments

Jaylon is enjoying the ride. In position to get a ring. But GB doesn't have the hardest schedule.

And the Dak overratedness isn't? Example: Dak is MVP, Dak is better than Peyton Manning, Dak is seeing the field as well as Tom Brady, Dak is carrying this team, Dak is better than Justin Herbert, Dak is better than Mahomes, there isn't a better QB for the Cowboys than Dak (Michael Jerome Irvin)...need I go further?

Dak is certainly playing better than Mahomes this season and deserves to be in the MVP conversation, the only ones who don't think so, are either just Cowboys haters, who don't like seeing any Cowboys player getting accolades for playing well or they are extreme Dak haters, who hate and resent Dak getting and receiving credit for accomplishing certain QB feats and for winning. And you can say that it's because Dak has a great team around him. but all of the QBs who are currently in the conversation of getting MVP, have either good teams around them or elite head coaching helping them out.

None of the QBs who are currently winning and having the teams in a potential playoff berth, have bums or bad teams around them. And none of them are doing it completely by themselves. Mahomes is struggling and throwing a bunch of INTs and yet most of it is being blamed on the Chiefs defense. When Dak was expected to overcome a historically bad Cowboys defense no matter what and win.

What is your problem? Dak is doing a great job this season but because some other QB impresses you, you think that gives you license to go bash Dak? That's not how it works around here. Back the heck off Dak! Yes, Aaron Rodgers was impressive beating the Cardinals. Maybe you need to stay off these pages and become a Packer fan. You'd be happy there. You're not going to come here and talk bad about the Cowboys just because another team turned you on. Got that? If you think you're a Cowboys fan then check your attitude. If you're not a Cowboys fan then stay away. The Cowboys are 5-1, have been on a bye week, and don't deserve this sneak attack from just because GB beating AZ impressed you. :mad:

Their backup receivers didn't even know how to line up correctly or know the play, which is why Rodgers had to wasted so many time out and getting multiple delay of game penalty. Sure the defense did good but the offense was all Rodgers + their RBs.


The defense let up only 21 points and forced 3 turnovers.

the packers rushed for over 150+ yards.

you’re acting like winning a game where those things happens is some rare NFL feat.

Focusing only on them being short on receivers is silly.

Aaron Jones is one of the best RB’s in the league. Like top 5. Their defense played very very well.


As a matter of fact the turnover differential alone was huge.

teams with a +3 turnovers margin like the packers had. They win the game like 95% of the time in NFL history. Regardless of the QB.

Rodgers played well. But with the defense forcing 3 turnovers, all he had to do was protect the ball and the packers were very likely to win the game.
