Technically Dak only count for 6 full seasons because of the broken ankle. With that said Dak has the same amount of playoff success in 6 seasons as Drew Brees.... one playoff win in that time. Hell, it took Matt Stafford until his 11th, 12th season to get his first playoff win and he's a first round drafted quarterback.
With that said, I would give Dak one more season on this roster. Dak has to lead us deeper into the playoffs to get more time in Dallas IMO.
However, I would like to see Dak in an offense WITHOUT Kellen Moore running it. Dak has played well despite being handicapped by the dumbest offensive coordinator in all of football.
I like you better after your middle paragraph. You do value postseason success more than regular season success.
Kellen has been the offensive coordinator of these top offenses in recent seasons. Give the guy some credit-he is obviously not as bad as you portray him. Not like Dak goes out there and starts calling all the shots and succeeds despite Kellen’s input.
Drew only played 1 game his initial season, so you can remove that season too. He joined New Orleans and they promptly went to the NFCCG. Detroit is hopefully a franchise that this team never wants to call a standard threshold (at least for that time period). Lots of coaching restarts and flux in the front office-recipe for disaster.
I really like Dan Campbell’s philosophy in building on the lines of scrimmage and making the team understand it’s about gutting it out every day. I feel they will give Green Bay a really tough game and may win it. The unfortunate thing is the way the league scheduled it though. If Seattle wins their game, then the Lions are eliminated from playoff contention before the game begins.
