Dak is not awful, let's really look at things closely!

I was hoping for a standard that was slightly higher than "not awful".

Dak is not awful, but he would make a good backup QB for a team, but not a starter.

again i get some of you dont like him but there is literally no facts that back up Dak is a backup in the NFL....is he the best QB in the league..no but he is far from the 32nd QB in the league..your GM is awful so the QB some of you guys think could win here isnt a real person..no QB makes this FO a winner until they change the way they build a team.

lol...I did not say he was the 32 QB in the league. Wat you talking bout, Willis?

And, your rant about the FO that you always revert back to is not going anywhere, but sooner or later, sooner I hope, Dak can go, along with little Micah! lol

if he was only a backup wouldnt that mean he isnt as good as the 32 starters in the league? Is what im saying about the FO a rant or just the truth?

I honestly don't know where Dak stands against the 32 starters in the league, maybe a new team can fix him, but at his age and injuries mounting every year, his time is coming to a close soon.

As far as the FO, do not say bad things about Jerra, damn it, he is in the HOF, played the game and, and, and, never mind, I'll shut the hell up. lol

Dak is not awful, but he would make a good backup QB for a team, but not a starter.

If he is in the top 10 quarterbacks statistically every season and you say he isn't a starter.... then what about the other 20+ starting quarterbacks that he ranks higher than?

According to your logic, all the other quarterbacks under him aren't starters either. So you mean to tell me that there are 20+ backup quarterbacks starting in the NFL?

He's awful in the playoffs, and he's awful against good teams. He was drafted in the 4th round, and I think he's exceeded expectations at times, but he's also played like a 4th round QB often. Saying he's awful means that he's terrible all the time, he's not terrible all the time. I'm not hyping him up, but we have to be real with ourselves. I think there could have been other Qb's that have come here and given us more, but why hang our hats on that???

He's our QB, he's not going anywhere, he has a no trade clause (that can be waived if HE chooses to waive it), hopefully he can be the QB we're paying him to be with the big injury he's coming back from! Please give your thoughts!

Dak is not awful. He is actually a pretty good QB. Problem is he has a demonstrated history of choking in big spots. He is also getting older so the talent will diminish. I also think he can’t scramble like he used to so that will hurt him. He also has to deal with the crap roster Jerry gives him. The clown coaches. He isn’t set up for success. Layer on a contract he has no business having and you see why fans downgrade him.

pretty spot on right here.

Dak is about where you rank him, he is not awful, just not very good when he gets pressured.

Very well said, but his fans do not want to hear that. To most of his fans he can do not wrong. smh

not to keep this going 5star but the crazy thing is he is actually one of the better QB's under pressure he like the rest of this franchise SUCKS when the playoffs start..its crazy but they are alergic to playoff wins...

 

[McKDaddy]

no but he is far from the 32nd QB in the league.

In recent years though we have seen a lot of retirements & aging QB's decline. Over the last several years there is pretty strong argument that there has only been 10-15 legit NFL QB's. Not 15 QB's who can win it all, but who are legit starters. So, it's not really about how he compares against 32 because there aren't 32 legit QB's in the league. Dak might have been in the back third of the legit group for a while but recent play would put him outside that group.

Even at his best, he has very few wins against quality teams where he actually played at a high level. In short, if he were on another team, this fan base would make fun of him not defend him.

Well, we are going to find out this coming season. But, do not talk about Jerra, he is rich and he owns the Dallas Cowboys and all of us stupid fan, so there!

Hey, watch it now! Don't you remember he made the GOAT, Brady, retire he beat him so bad. (at least that is what I've heard from his silly fans).

 

[gtb1943]

I’m honest enough to say He’s gotten his share of beat downs vs good teams. But you can’t say he has never beaten a good team and then when I bring one up then you pivot to who he hasn’t beaten. Keep the same energy.

and you ignore all the times he has crapped the bed

 

[gtb1943]

I said “above average”…..not average.

you do not understand what average is all about to claim there are lots of average QBs.

Just to educate you, if there are 32 full time starting QBs then average is #16 or so; give or take one maybe. So there is most two or three average QBs

NOW we know there are starting QBs out there that probably are ahead of better QBs for one reason or another.

SO It is then reasonable to say there is probably 40 or so in the league

Therefore that would mean the 20th best QB would be the dividing line of average.

BUT once again you can only say there are a handful of such

That's fair... but besides Mahomes and MAYBE Burrows.... what other quarterbacks have max contracts that they're earning according to their results at the end of the season?

There's a few max dollar contract quarterbacks who have minimal playoff wins just like Dak.

this defintley looks like a 20 pager....and yes I am contributing...just a little though.
