Dak faced the easiest average pass defense DVOA of opponents this season

Also here's some food for thought: would all these low-ranked DVOA defenses be ranked this low if they didn't have to face Dak?

How would they have fared facing the likes of Bailey Zappe, Zack Wilson, Bryce Young, and Josh Dobbs all year?

It doesn't matter.

The proving ground for Dak became the playoffs years ago. That is where he is going to be measured, fair or not. Cowboys QBs become legends in the playoffs, or not.

Ask Meredith (RIP)
Ask Morton
Ask Staubach
Ask White
Ask Aikman
Ask Romo

Two of those QBs are remembered more fondly than the others. They're also in the Hall of Fame. That's not a coincidence.

Good thing we won’t play a good pass defense until at least the conference title game then. Green Bay, Philly, Tampa Bay and Detroit are all middling to bad.
So are the Niners

Brady became the goat by playing in the worst conference in football.
Brady beat Peyton Manning and Roethlisberger in the playoffs multiple times. Both of those guys will end up in the HOF, as did Warner (who Brady also beat). He also beat Mahomes more than once in postseason, and that dude has a good shot at making the HOF too.

Let's not pretend Brady wasn't a great QB.

Yes, but Brady would not have had as many trips to the playoffs or rings if he played in a much tougher division. You know it. I know it. We all know it.

Let's stop pretending Brady carried the Patriots among one of the toughest divisions for so many years which meant he truly earned all those playoff trips and championships.

My question is how do they figure this out? Also why isn’t Hurts on this list? Didn’t we play very similar schedules?

O well the narrative about Dak, and I admit I’ve said it, is he can’t beat good teams. So let’s change the narrative this month. I want nothing more than the Cowboys to hold up the Lombardi trophy at the end of the season and Dak can flip me, and everyone else who said it, the bird.

Just win, screw narratives and screw personal opinions.

When the schedule came out last April, there were the usual comments about how the Cowboys had such a tough schedule blah blah blah. Well it turned out they didn't. Just a small handful of hard games and many of those cupcakes. We all saw exactly what you did. Now that we are entering the tournament, we can hope the Cowboys and Dak can navigate their way through those tougher defenses. Or it will end up being another season ending in disappointment.
Or that takes out the view of the competitive nature of a man and the real talent in the NFL. Every single game has pitfalls for every team. Kind of why the games are played and not just Vegas telling all what happened after bets were tallied.

All teams had numerous losses. All. From here on out is what game changers happen and when...all are able to do just that.

Now the question on the table is not win it all or not!

Why do you think with two AT&T games ahead, the Dallas Cowboys won't win both of those? You don't have faith? By all means then...keep the tears up!

Go Cowboys, play your ball games!! :starspin:

You Romo-loving Dak haters are back to your usual BS shenanigans, huh? It's too much to put your brain to use and realize Dak dissected many opposing defenses, even after opposing coaches afterwards admit Dak figured them out?

Y'all are the worst. Do everyone a favor. Go follow another team since Dak is not going anywhere.
Annnnd another preteen temper tantrum, complete with "hater" and a Romo reference.

OP posted an actual stat with no commentary.

Grow up Tad.

Truth hurts, Jessica. Grow up and support. Your dream retired many moons ago. Correction: Was forced to retire.

Dak hasn't been tested much this season. It showed.
Not tested? :muttley::facepalm: One of the very most productive under blitzes and pressure in the NFL. He is very good on 3rd downs and completion per centages.

Oh yea, he has THREE 12 win seasons. What other Dallas QB have a trio?

Lol. No one supported a Cowboys QB less than you did for a decade.

You're such an emotional wreck you can't see the hypocrisy.

Your outbursts are as laughable as they are predictable.
We're heading into a very exciting playoff and you are squawking about attitude?
