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

[Kevinicus]

Dak destroying those defenses is part of why the ranks of those defenses are worst then expected. Similarly, Bryce Young and the Panthers being hot garbage are making those defenses look better than they actually are. I thought this was obvious. Its like when Washington fans brag about having a tougher schedule than Dallas. Well duh, you have to play Dallas twice, and Dallas has to play Washington twice.

Not really. One (in a few instances two) games against Dak are not going to have that big of an impact on their season rating. Very minimal.
Just as Bryce Young had pretty much no affect on the overall rating of the defenses he played (29th).

A lot farther than they would have gone without him, yes.
QBs are only one player, despite what many people seem to think.
You appear to be one of them that think QBs win/lose, and not the team. Sad.

Not at all. Im on record countless times here arguing the same point about Dak.

You realize that Dak had one of the worst defenses in NFL history right? And still managed to do well. So did he CARRY the team? Or was it just a good team. You cant have it one way for Romo (who played with multiple hall of famers) and then a different way for Dak. Period.

Do you think this team wins 12 games 3 years running with Bryce Young starting? The answer is no. So with your very argument, Dak also won more games than they would have without him.

HAHAHHAHA delusion. At its finest.

You mean those 3 years in a ROW that he lost a win and your in game?

Or did that not happen?

Not true.
I know this wasnt my conversation but just clarifying....
He/we won on the road in 2013 at Washington (game-winning drive, btw) in a win-or-go-home game, but he missed the final week when he had back surgery.
So 8-7 with him and 0-1 without him.
Those teams were awful though

And the other 2?

Here We Go!!

true.

I was just clarifying for you it wasn't 3 in a row. lol

2012 was a bad game, but if you recall, it was like Monte Python on the bring-losing limbs.
Dez out, Witten out, Murray out, and more. By the 4th qtr it was comical. And of course, Dallas had the 32nd ranked defense...the very worst in the NFL for the only time in franchise history that year.

And I thought I was the only one who felt this way.

Tell us you've never read one of AC's posts, without telling us you've never read one of AC's posts.

Who cares they don't make the schedule. Also like someone else stated the NFCE took a massive step back.

Eagles defense is trash, everyone thought the giants were going to continue to improve and Washington always had an everage /good defense but imploded this year too

Dak had one of the worst defeneses in NFL history when?

I never said they wouldn't have won less games without Dak (of course, that all depends on who the other QB is).

I think the point being made that was that Romo had a lot of teams that didn't have a very good overall roster outside of him. Whereas Dak has been blessed with a better supporting cast - for the most part. Like a supporting cast that can go 4-1 with Cooper Rush at QB.

LOL. I am just poking him where it hurts.... yeah, childish, but I am having fun with him.

That's fine.

At the boards expense.

 

[erod]

Yep...i think its possible to be both cautious AND heartily cheer them on.

That's a given. I'll be doing what I've done for decades.

 

[erod]

you are so burning inside. just down to your bottom hole, burning that Dak did so well this season.

you are oh so miserable. unhappy. frustrated. I love it. love to see you are squirming. and like an Anti-cowboy fan waiting and just thinking to yourself we are going to lose in the playoffs and I am going to just go nuts.

what a loser. you are such a loser in life that this has become your life.

Dak has had lots of seasons similar to this. Regular season stats aren't the issue.

In 3 weeks, we'll know if anything has changed, or if its the same ole Dak.

And your post is impossibly childish. Comically.

I know you good.

I'm talking to the fan *****.

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

Should we also put an asterisk next to CeeDee's incredible season then? Are we sure he's great and not just good since he played vs bad pass defenses?

Good question since there are some big Lamb Supporters, who are also doubters of Dak. Neither of their stats should be downplayed. But by the logic of some Lamb only has great stats in his career due to Dak throwing against poor pass defenses.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

sorry

yes, childish on purpose. when you speak to another child you have to speak their language. I was responding to a child.

Yes you are correct. The thread title is misleading since it wasn't just Dak who played vs the bad pass defenses. It was the whole Cowboys' offense that played against the bad pass defenses.

If Dak is going to be discredited for playing well because he mostly played against bad pass defenses, then you should do the same for everyone else on offense.

 

[thunderpimp91]

I don't think this should really count against Dak and what he's accomplished this season, however I think it's a really good reminder that unless you're dealing with a Tom Brady or Payton Manning type at the top as a measuring stick trying to rank QBs is nearly impossible. Depending on supporting cast, system, and who they've played is typically going to make those rankings pretty fluid week to week. Add a Tyreek Hill to this offense to go with Lamb and Dak is easily considered the best QB in football. Take away Lamb from this offense and Dak is back to being 'middle of the pack dak'. It's a team game where 90% of the time we way overvalue the QB position.

 

[5Stars]

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.

Romo
