Yesterday:

“Hey, we won. Why are you complaining about the mediocre QB play? He was facing an all-world defense.”

GB game:

“Yes, we lost, but Dak never gave up as his 403 yards passing show, and the defense was awful. Once the team went down 7-0 the game was over.”
Don forget:
GB game the D was so terrible it made Dak press too hard and it made him toss a high school level pick 6 to fall behind 0-27.

I’m just trying to understand how Dak’s stats were all world in a loss = blame the team and Dak can’t win anything bc the team isn’t good enough. Then everyone complaining all off season the team got worse, Dak stats below average, in a win … but Dak carried them half way there?

If the team wasn’t good enough to win when Dak’s stats were great, how’d they manage a win when they were below average? I thought I read here it’s the rest of the team holding back the Ws?

Dak plays good but makes none of the mistakes everyone cries about and doesn't let the game change by turning the ball over and giving Cleveland life and hope. Makes some great throws early on while we are exerting our will against Cleveland. Under pressure quite a bit.

I get it, but an 84 passer rating has nothing to do with game context. In fact, I’d expect it to be higher because of the dump offs in that type of context.

All I was pointing out is that they had similar yards, similar comp %, and without the 2 tipped picks, similar passer ratings. That doesn’t make me an obsessed hater for pointing at a stat line and making an observation. Dak is historically rusty in game 1. He should improve
wait, I am a little confused. on the one hand people complained that Dak's stats against GB was in garbage time, then here you are saying that Watson and Dak stats were close.

here is how watson did in the first 3 quarter.

Quarter 1: 5/8 for 22 yards....obviously dumping it a lot.
Quarter 2: 3/7 for 13 yards

so at the half he was 8/15 for total of 35 yards
Quarter 3: 10/17 for 80 yards
quarter 4: 9/14 for 50

so after three quarters he was 18 of 32 for 125 yards....

and then he played against a prevent soft defense, scoring a meaning TD at the end of the game.

so was his stats set up in garbage time? he also had two interceptions.

and what do you mean tipped picks? they are picks. they are bad throws. he also had 5 other passes that should have been intercepted dropped.

Watson looked like crap. out of his element. looked lost. didn't make plays.

Dak made enough plays. took what was available. made a few big throws.

not even close. and I am not touting Dak's play. its just that in this game, Watson really sucked.

Again, I don’t hate Dak. I like the player and I like what I know about the man. But he hasn’t played up to his previous contract and it’s historically unlikely he will play up to his new contract.

Yes, that was a very good defense the Cowboys defeated yesterday. But, from my seat, it was hugely due to the play of the Dallas defense which provided Dak with a bunch of short fields.

Individually, Dak made a couple of big throws while also missing several open looks and throwing dirtballs or sailing on easy shots. In, short - Dak was incredibly mediocre amd not what I’d expect from a $60 MM per year player. Go figure.
You seriously need to get off this contract talk. Daniel Jones gets $40mill a year and is a flaming pile of garbage. QBs are going to continue to make a ton of money. Jordan Love got a huge extension based on one single year of his career. Cousins makes a ton of money and has accomplished zero in this league. Stafford was paid huge before ever sniffing one single playoff win. It's the same as the bloated housing market. Homes worth $175k just a few years ago are now worth $600k now with zero improvements or upgrades. Just because the higher price tag, doesn't mean all of a sudden expectations are now higher and it's going to perform better.

If Daniel Jones and Baker Mayfield are getting $40m plus deals, Dak absolutely is going to demand more and rightfully so. Same as Jordan Love and Cousins. These guys are not in a class above Dak and still have a ton to prove. The salary cap keeps rising every year and these contracts as years go by, count less towards the cap. And smart front offices can easily manage these contracts to the cap and move money around to free up space. Eagles do it all the time. When is the last time the Eagles have released someone because they couldn't pay them? In fact, quite the opposite. They seem to have a never ending supply of cap space to sign anyone they want.

Dak isn't going to transform now that he signed a deal. This is now his 9th season. He is who he is. And he will retire a Cowboy, whenever that is.

His dad just died.

If that were dak you'd show some sympathy I am sure.

You seem to be posting out others hypocrisy while also pointing out your own. Seemingly.

you dont see the irony in your post...you and your crew hate the QB of "Your Team" like you dont have a choice....Why not just move on?
I don't reply to your Dak-salivating worshipful threads or posts with constant venom...you can't help yourself. Like a religious zealous who claims their god is all-powerful but then loses their minds over WORDS about their "Massa". That's how you know the master-slave dynamic is complete...when the slave is mistreated and still identifies with his master. You're so happy Dak got paid...EVERYONE must be happy too or you won't be either.

Too bad he doesn't know you exist...

They do the classic bait and switch all the time: D wins the game...give Dak credit. Dak suck...blame the D.

huh? Favre's Dad died and he had game of his life. I have seen others do the same. this performance was no different than his previous performances, but now its because of his Dad..

and I didn't say anything that was hypocritical...I just posted facts and asked a simple question.

why are you so upset? why are you defending Watson? is that a way to diminish Dak's play?

enjoy the win, despite your hatred of Dak. doesn't matter. , you seem to be misreable when we win and if you are a cowboys fan, then misreable when we lose...

doesn't make sense.

We won.

I am enjoying it… there is time to be critical but not after that game.
what? Name the coach, owner or PLAYER that is NOT critical after the game? That's the BEST time to be critical...what you gonna wait until next week when we are "focused on the Saints"?

I hear you...I enjoy winning. But...I also was NOT FOOLED by last year's team in GB because I was not just "being happy".

I get that we want positivity, but professionals and fanatics LIVE in criticism world...including after games.

It’s the ultimate bait and switch. After some strange back and forth earlier that the mods kindly cleaned up. I decided to drop some CF and AC content into an AI content comparison tool and it returned 94% probability the content was written by the same source.

It’s like the matrix. Maybe twins? I feel duped.
