Dak is now historically bad on 3rd and 4th down

[khiladi]

Dak got Dallas28 points. I guess some of you guys would want to trade Josh Allen also who played by the way worse than Dak practically losing the Bills game by himself. Dak made 3 bad throws and according to Michael Irvin the two int's were on the receivers. Not a Dak apologist just sending some common sense out here. Dak could and should of played better!! But so should the whole team including the coaching staff which was by the way -way worse than Dak.IMO

No we absolutely would not, because we know Allen is going through a UNPRECEDENTED bad slump in the red zone, but is like 7 feet tall, can fling the ball like a laser at the flick of wrist and took his team to the AFC championship game already where he was phenomenon and can made defenders a body bag by running through them and it’s just a joy watching him even if they lose..

And Dak did not get them 28 points. Pollard ran a 17 yard TD in and 7 of this points came on the absolute worst team in the league in the last two minutes after they decided to squid kick it and just play incredibly soft zone, meaning GB basically gifted them a TD..

I’m going to start calling him Daksquatch. A mythical QB who makes occasional good appearances but no one can prove that it exists

LOL

We have been saying it over and over and over again..

In this modern era, defenses will allow points in shoot-outs. The defense isn’t always going to cover for the QB. Dak has shown ZERO ability to actually win in a shoot-out. In fact, he’s shown no real ability to comeback and win. In 2019, guy didn’t win a single game when down at halftime and the trend of mediocrity has continued to this day.

Defense I would agree. I'd say Dak just had 2 bad throws-or the receivers ran two bad routes. Not to mention the third down play calling of MooreDid you actually watch the game and see some of the 3rd down play calling?? Not just this game but every game. Moore IMO is worse than Dak!

Watched the entire game.
Don't think dak had a good game.
Average.

If you look at the 4th down play, Lamb is wide open as he comes out of his break and Dak is looking right at him with no pressure. He has to let that pass go, but holds it and misses the window. Pollard is also open with open space to make a defender miss. Gallup is open too when he makes his break before the window closes. Dak lacks the ability to quickly process and quick throwing motion with accuracy. Moore is not great, but Dak is the bigger problem.

I’m really starting to think this is the issue. What I don’t get is why Moore even goes to him on critical downs, in 4 down territory last night, just run the ball 4 times, better % then Dak’s 43% chance of moving the chains.

28 points!!! Should of been 31...Yet it's Dak's fault I guess Dallas only plays offense. My bad.....

Name me any other player on the team making $40 million a year.

Dak in 2022 has a completion percentage of 43.3% on 3rd and 4th down : If he keeps it up it will be the 2nd worst since 2011 ( Tim Tebow ).

Where does Cooper Rush rank?

28 attempts.

Also 4 rushes 36 yards, 4 firsts and a td.

But don't let that stop you.

44% lol

Dak is actually 46% but i know the OP has an agenda. So we are just bad on 3rd down as a team

 

[TheCoolFan]

Rodgers almost 40 and with an injured hand still looked better than Dak, who is entering the prime years of his QB career. It's so sad

 

[Mk2_Cowboys]

Where does Cooper Rush rank?

Cooper Rush is a back up with a 57% completion percentage . Cowboys won those games because of Micha Parsons . Cooper is pedestrian and Dak sucks

A shootout depends on a team leaning on the QB's arm and Dak doesn't have this ability. He has never had this ability.

Isn't Dak supposed to be way better? That's the stan agenda

His choke level has increased.
Let's extend him for another 5 years who knows we might see 30% give or take!

Dak can’t win a game that Copper a rush couldn’t win . He’s literally a stat compiler that if him and cooper played equal schedules Dak would come out on top stat wise but their win and loss would be exactly the same. He’s no where near a 40 million dollar qb

Way better? Hell at this point the Cowboys will take marginally better.

The decline of the run game and Zeke has revealed just how limited Dak is. If you want to win with Dak, bolster the OLine and the run game.

He’s a choker. It’s who and what he is.

The 43% is accurate, but you touched a bigger point. Neither QB has been good on third down. Paging Kellen Moore.

Who is calling these plays? Not just on 3rd down, but 1st and 2nd? 3rd and 2 is a lot easier to get than 3rd and 7.
