How many Lombardi's did they win?
That's the wrong question to ask on this thread.

You need to rephrase it and state : "Dak Undefeated In Superbowls he's played in"

Or

"Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts and Joe Burrow ALL have way many more incompletions and turnovers in Conference Championship Games than Dak does!"

The end goal is proclaiming Dak to be a Top 5 Quarterback. Gotta make the stats work in whatever way you need to in order to build a bridge over or around reality.

It's the right answer. There is no other success other than Super Bowl championships. 2nd place is the first loser.
I'm not a fan of those other QBs so what they do is no concern to me

Who would have known? My eyes deceive me. Now I'm glad we have Dak instead of Burrow. Thank God for stats.
Excuse me Bro. But he didn't say Dak is Better that Burrow. But better than #11 ? Hell yea I'm glad we have Dak.

More straw man arguments from the Dark side. But Hey It's what I expect.

Thanks for not letting me down .

Now that just convoluted thinking. Notice there were no insults in the post just a description of a thought process.

I'm glad I didn't let you down. That's important to me. But who cares if he's better than 11? That means absolutely nothing!! That means less than if I said my sneakers are wet. Meaningless. The OP was meaningless. To top it off, how does it show him better than 11? I think he's top 10 because I'm a Cowboys fan and I am bias. I know he's not Joe Burrow, Rodgers, or Peyton Manning, but I'll take him over other QBs in his range like Carr, Garoppolo, or Cousins in a heartbeat. But I'm a Cowboys fan. But I don't see how the OP showed any of that. Not that stupid stat.

I am glad Dak is second to only Mahomes in 3rd down conversions.

Now I want him to stop throwing the ball to the other team and play well when we play the 49'rs.
Let's be honest and admit that last year was an anomaly for Dak Prescott when it comes to throwing interceptions. Dak's career average for throwing interceptions was .725 interceptions per game prior to last season, or 1.73% of all his pass attempts. Last year, he threw 1.25 interceptions per game, and more than doubled his interception percentage to 3.8%. Perhaps with better receivers, Dak won't feel the need to force the ball and he will trend back toward his career average.
Those who want to extrapolate last year's performance to pretend that Dak has ALWAYS been bad at throwing interceptions are not correct. Maybe, Dak has permanently changed for the worse. It's possible. But it is unlikely.

Dak averaged 37 passes per game in 2021. That equates to 633 passes he will attempt in 2023 if he plays all 17 games, and maintains his pass attempts per game under Mike McCarthy. Multiply that by his career interception percentage prior to last year, and that equates to about 11 interceptions over 17 games, which is something the Cowboys can live with.

throw out any stat you want, then go back and watch the SF game
Always amazes me how little CZ members know about the rest of the NFL.
:laugh:

Tell us... how many QBs would've played well at SF given the same circumstances as Dak in that game? The same defense that routinely makes Aaron Rodgers look like a total scrub.

Best defense in football, on the road, and without your only respectable RB in the 2nd half. Besides Mahomes, who else is lighting up that 49ers defense?????

The same defense Jared Stidham lit up? Dallas is trying to do nothing less than win the Super Bowl with Dak, he's not a rookie anymore. In that context, his performance in that game was disgraceful and alarming.

Just kidding!

Hey, no wonder NFL players, coaches, scouts and execs polled collectively agree that Dak's one of the 10 best QBs in football!

Anti-Dak Cult Members: "B-b-b-b-but MAH EYE TEST SAYS..."
:lmao2: :lmao2: :lmao2:


Good lads all, it is endearing to see how the Dak lovers keep bringing up stats --- any stats --- to show that Dak is not that bad.
But his résumé says 7 years as starter and 2 career first-round playoff wins and 4 losses.

What range does your .45/9mm target pop up at in a real weapons tournament?

Actually, that doesn't say he's second only to Mahomes in 3rd down conversions...just 3rd down conversions over 5 yards. It also doesn't specify how many attempts there were, and compare that with other QBs.

He might be better, he might be worse. I hope he's better.
