High completion percentage, no interceptions, no fumbles (kept or lost, I don't think, not even an aborted snap so far?), and only one sack. Low yards per attempt (that's what's knocking down his passer rating) but I would argue that 90% of that has been dictated by game situation (Giants spotting them a huge lead), strength of the opposing defense (Jets secondary), incompetence of the opposing offense (Jets) or all of the above (Jets). It will be interesting to see when they play a "normal" game against a "normal" team. I guess the Patriots will probably be the first, if any Belichick team can be considered "normal." Or the Chargers, a game where they'll probably need to score to match up.

The Rams were playing 11 'rooks' and lost to SF by 7?

Dak's last game versus New England (in Boston, btw): 36-of-51 for 445 yards, three TDs, and an INT. I think he'll be just fine.

It's almost as if the NFL players, coaches, scouts and execs who ALL ranked him as a very good QB this past offseason, they knew what they were talking about?

Keep this train rolling, #4.

Good to see Dak go back to driving the bus instead of trying to be the hero. Playing to his talent level is refreshing hopefully he can just stay this way. If the D does their job weekly and Dak plays within himself the team will have a chance every week. What you are seeing is the BP that teams with middle road QBs take. This team can go far if Dak doesn’t get in the way.

The power of the Dink and Dunk...........till it comes crashing down and a bunch of Pick 6s are produced because of this game plan.

They are running a smooth game. Taking some shots. And we were down Cooks and Tyler. And played what maybe a good defense. It’s only 2 games but looks good.

Dak avoided a pick 6. He was lucky this time. Playing quick passes can get predictable. And he needs to keep a few of those option handoffs. There is a lane outside. He ran about 10 of those options and could have gotten more than the RB did. But also needs to slide. I am asking a lot.

Just asking for a friend but where are all those juggernaut AFC quarterbacks? Where's Watson? Burrow? Herbert? :laugh:

Then you’ll find something else to ***** about. You’ll always find something and always ignore the good.

It will be interesting if the Cowboys win the Super Bowl and even more so if they win next year as well.
