Dak is “only” 18-24 against teams with winning records…I understand this argument…but it’s kind of flat for several reasons:
  • Many great QBs have losing records against winning teams
    • Aaron Rodgers is 41-44-1 against teams that finished the season with a winning record.
    • Eli Manning was 32-77
    • Drew Brees was 49-65
    • Kirk Cousins is 10-40
    • Matt Stafford is 11-72
    • Josh Allen is 12-15
    • Pat Mahomes is 10-6
    • The GOAT Tom Brady is 74-48, but he’s a huge outlier.
  • Only a very select QBs can ever carry a team on their backs to playoff wins or even a consistent record against good teams. Brady, Mahomes….Big Ben was somewhere around .500 against winning teams. Dak is a good, NOT great QB.
  • Most teams- certainly the Cowboys- are not built around Dak. The Cowboys have to win as a TEAM, not as the QB goes. Sure, we need Dak to play well. But not carry this team.

This argument has been laid to rest so many times....Jimmy G is their champion if this is the hill they need to die on. TB12 is a distant second to Jimmy..lol
