Quit with the facts!!!

Dallas offense is dink and dunk!!! Dak is average!

 

[Sarge]

I think he's a keeper.

Funny thing that he and Romo are both awesome in the 4th quarter.

 

[JJHLH1]

No matter how this year finishes I am excited about the future with Dak as our QB!

 

[Sepia]

Clutch gene!

Dallas offense is dink and dunk!!! Dak is average!

A Commanders fan on one of their boards told me he calls the Dallas offense "Dak and dunk" because of how short he throws everything.

When I informed him of Dak's YPA and some of the rookie's other QB numbers, the guy never responded back.

To be fair, many of the Commander fans there really like Dak though.

Dak is a closer. I wonder if he can throw a 100mph fastball. If so, maybe he can moonlight as the Mets closer

Another reason why Romo will be in Denver a week after the Superbowl

More facts:

To remedy the problem of different passing environments across eras, we can compare each quarterback's AYPA with the league average for that season. For example, Prescott's AYPA is 9.2 so far this season, while the league average is currently 7.2. That means Prescott exceeds the league average by a net of 2.0 AYPA.

Only three other rookie quarterbacks in NFL history with as many starts as Prescott have exceeded the league average in AYPA for their respective seasons by more than that. Otto Graham blew the doors off the rest of the league in 1946, averaging 11.2 AYPA when the rest of the league passed at a measly 3.7 AYPA rate. Y.A. Tittle averaged 8.4 AYPA as a rookie in 1948, compared to a league average of 4.6 AYPA. The third quarterback to top Prescott on the list is lesser-known Greg Cook of the Bengals, whose 1969 season beat the league average by 2.6 AYPA. Cook's career was cut tragically short by a chronic shoulder injury.

In short, no one has exceeded Prescott's performance thus far since before the merger.

Solution: play Romo for the first 3 quarters?

Surely that should be hotly debated by Stephen A. Smith or Skip Bayless for hours.
