Dak Prescott primed in a race against Father Time

[Flamma]

No matter how many times people are wrong about QBs, and proven to be wrong by example, they persist on making it all about the QB. They just move on to another QB.

Accepting that something is proven true or false by an individual or small sample source is called anecdotal evidence. something can be proven true or false about an individual QB. It doesn't mean that it applies to every QB. Someone could state that Dak is entering year 11 and still hasn't won a SB so therefore he's not going to. Someone would cite Elway and Stafford as examples of players doing it to counter the previous assumption. Like that in any way proves Dak can do it. Where all the other QBs who didn't accomplish it is actually better evidence that he can't.

Well of course it is. I'll go with something that happened 1000 times over something that happened twice every time. The question is, does the evidence even apply? Or is there something else driving those results other than the QB himself. Anyone can create a statistic. That's why it's considered one of the three greatest lies. Stafford and Elway didn't get better, they just got older. The teams they played for got better. The Broncos had 0 chance of winning the first 3 super bowls Elway was in. Yet people blamed Elway.

I'm not Dak fan boy. I know his limitations. He flies high when the team is doing well, he goes down with the ship when they aren't. He's not a QB that's going to elevate the team beyond their capabilities. So the Cowboys aren't going to win unless they have the better team. Yet people say he chokes.
