As a rule, he's a very good QB. But when he has a game like this, it makes it very hard to remember that.
The problem with a lot of our fans is that they're trying to apply general expectations to Dallas Cowboys quarterbacks.

If you're a quarterback for the Cleveland Browns or the Detroit Lions, if your quarterback pulls out a come-from-behind victory or march 98-yards for the winning score in regular season, you take that because you know that's as good as it gets. You're likely not going to be in the playoffs to see what your quarterback can do when it's one-and-done.

But Dak is quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. He doesn't have the luxury of being judged by general expectations. Neither did Tony Romo. Neither did Danny White.
Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman set the standard.

So, unless Dak leads a 98-yard drive that moves the Cowboys to a NFC Championship or the Super Bowl, he's going to be judged harshly.

That's just the way it is.

He's statistically the best third down QB in the league, and since 2019 this offense is #1 in the league in yards, points and third down % in games he's started.

At this point those claiming he isnt a top 10 QB have the burden of proof. The objective metrics say he is. The "feels" and "eye test" metrics are what they must rely on.
And yet...we got nothing.

Empty stats.


Love how you mock "the eye test"...yet you watch the game. Why? Why not just read the stats afterward? After all...according to you...the STATS tell us how good we are. Never mind wins losses.....in the playoffs!

Oh wait...it's a 'team game".....until that's not convenient for your agenda. I get it. Cool.

If you really thought Dak was great threads like this wouldn't be needed trying to convince others to believe like you do.

Dak's 98 yard game winning drive hurt more people on this forum than it hurt Houston fans.
Alll....there there...feel better?

How do you lie to yourself so easily? Then expect others to think how oh so clever you are.

High n mighty horse there partner.

This hurts nobody....except people who FOOL themselves into thinking winning hurts anyone.

I think you people are not understanding what Lovie is saying. He is saying that "Dak is one of the best QBs in our game"

Our game. As in the game the Texans and Cowboys just played.

And I agree with him on that statement. Dak is at LEAST a Top 3 or 4 QB in the stadium in that Cowboys Texans game.

lol. good one

So something Dak hasn't done....


Neither did Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, and DEFINITELY Matt Stafford after their first full 6 seasons just like Dak hasn't.

I'm not saying Dak is Manning or Brees, but what should I take from that???

Ok, your turn to put your famous spin job on that one.....

You mean: a crazy NFL head coach. What’s odd is that you think Lovie Smith is worth quoting….
I mean Lovie Smith? or "Maineboy"...one has coached in the Super Bowl with Rex Grossman as his QB.....and one......is"Maineboy". I mean its really a no brainer.
