Except it's not. Lmao



When you dont have actual support for your view point, just make something up and hope theres not stats out there to disprove it


actually, you need to understand what stats your using before telling others people. The amount of times Zeke actually rushed doesn’t indicate how many times the Vikings played with stacked men in the box. Zeke’s rushing attempts against this or that stacked box doesn’t reflect the Vikings game plan being set to stop Zeke, as opposed to Dak.

Dak can still throw with stacked boxes, but if it makes you feel better imagining you know what your talking about then you can proceed with it..

All these things show is it took Dak four years to learn how to check out of stacked boxes against clear man coverage on the outside..

“He needs Zeke” is dead.

“He’s only good when Zeke dominates” is dead.

“We need to feed Zeke in order to win” is dead.

“Any QB can do what Dak does if they had Zeke and this OL” is dead.

This is a passing league and we have a damn good QB. His biggest haters still won’t admit that because they’re mouth-breathing trash, but this isn’t meant for them. We can smile and nod politely at them as an official stance.

Unfortunately, we paid an undeserving, immature clown of a RB a ton of money to be average. That cost us a crucial game last night. Zero chance we would have ran twice with a cheap RB at the end there like we did with Zeke.

The organization mixed up correlation with causation. “But our record is X-X when Zeke runs 20+ times or for 100 yards!” That’s because in those games we’re either playing with a lead or we’ve passed successfully as well.

When do we EVER win when Dak plays like crap? We don’t. Just like we didn’t win when Romo played like crap.

The QB nearly overcame our garbage run game and our garbage defense last night. Dak isn’t just a damn good QB, he’s a tremendous leader with an incredible work ethic. He deserves to be the engine of this offense. He has proven that and EARNED that right. Zeke’s contract can no longer get in the way of common sense if this team wants to be better than average.

Orlando Scandrick said it best on “Undisputed” last week when comparing Carson Wentz to Dak. “Some guys play QB because it’s a position. Dak plays QB because it’s a lifestyle.”

Hand him the keys to the offense, permanently.

Cut your losses with Zeke. Nobody would trade for his garbage contract, but we can at least start phasing him out a bit. He has no business getting 20+ touches vs a good defense when they’ve already shown early on that they’re stuffing the run.

Sad that we learned nothing from the playoff loss to the Rams. Zeke was utterly useless that night while Dak played well and gave us a chance to win.

Just like last night.
4 bul****. Didn't give Prescott the opportunity to throw the ball. They ran Elliott wide. That alone was stupid. The best downhill Runner let's run him wide. Elliott suck

We have one of the most consistent QBs in the NFL.

Our average RB, pretty damn inconsistent though



Kamara’s average per carry is 4.4 with all his ‘breaking tackles’. He has a whopping 90 attempts to Zeke’s 178, who also averaged 4.4 YPC. I’m sure Kamara must be facing multiple tacklers and stacked boxes at the rate of Zeke too throughout his career, with guys like Brees.

These guys quoting these stats on Twitter have no clue what they are talking about.

I'm willing to NOT blame the garbage running game all on Elliott because the O-line, specifically in the middle didn't do a good job of run blocking. That being said, despite Prescott only getting sacked once the O line wasn't good at pass blocking either. Which makes his performance even more impressive. Watch the game, he was under pressure and still made some great plays. Putting this on Prescott is pure idiocy.

The division on this subject runs deep. I just feel like you can't blame Zeke for the OCs lack of creativity in finding other ways of getting him the ball or blame Dak for not bringing them all the way back. Cowboys had the lead for a minute. Defense couldn't hold it. And another slow start. Seems like this team has taken on the presonality of their head coach. Passive. Play it safe. Reactive instead of proactive.

What part of you missed the whole game commentary about Minn selling out to stop the run.

You people just like to ignore the obvious - it's mindnumbing!

We have really no idea what teams would try to do to Dak if they did not have to focus on the run.

This post deserves a Garrett clap.
It's pretty clear that what's important here is the qb not the rb. And, surprise, surprise, that's essentially what the rest of the league has figured out as well.

Daks own performance has not been quite as dependent on Zeke as the popular consensus seems to believe. The Boys offense improved immensely due to the acquisition of Coop, PERIOD.

You keep on acting like you know what the stats mean, yet all you can come up with is something simplistic like yards per carry and total Carrie's.

We get it, you can'y understand advanced statistics.

LOL!

Dak was 5-5 on 3rd and 12 or longer. Money in the bank.

I’m sure the Vikings were gearing up to stop the run on 3rd and a mile though!
:lmao2:

We paid $15 mil/year for a RB who can’t do ANYTHING when teams bring the safety up? 20 carries for 47. Just pathetic.

Yeah, it is code for Dallas never winning a Super Bowl with an inconsistent QB among other things. There is a reason why Dak is not as highly thought of around the league as he is in Dallas. Your mommy must have really blew a lot of smoke up your rear end to make you feel so superior to others. You really have such an overvalued opinion of yourself .
Nah, that’s not what it was code for, and I wasn’t the only one who noticed it when you said it.

You exposed yourself as a vile, inferior joke of a human being already. Own it.

That is the game plan of every defense that faces Dallas and when the game is put in Dak’s hands without Zeke , the results have not been good for Dallas.
You should know that you’re considered a JOKE here.

I know your feelings are hurt, but it isn’t going to change the fact you basically reveal your have no clue about the statistics you think support your point, while thinking they do. it’s called normalization of stats and PERCENTAGES mean jack squat especially when the number of attempts is that far apart.

Zeke’s success against stacked boxes or 7 in the box doesn’t in any way prove that the Vikings weren’t set on stopping Zeke. The Vikings could still have men in the box and we THREW IT. The Vikings were pretty much content to play one deep safety and man on the outside all day long, like pretty much every defense we play against.

Kamara with all his ‘broken tackles’ is averaging 4.4 YPC, the same as Zeke. Basic logic will tell you the amount Zeke runs, defenses key in to stop him. That means multiple defenders are constantly playing the run and containing Zeke, so he’s being tackled constantly by multiple defenders. Those that have less opportunities are generally operating with more space, thus it’s easier for them to break tackles. Plus, Zeke is a power back and often runs into contact. It’s a completely different style.

Barkley is a home run hitter, but he constantly runs 1 or 2 yards, unlike Zeke. He’s not even wearing defenses down like Zeke and he’s way better than Kamara.

So Dak sucks because he was killing it on 3rd and long.

But Zeke’s good because he was pure garbage due to the Vikings selling out to stop the run.

Hahahahahahahahahahha

*Smiles and nods politely*


In 1 game vs an opponent with a winning record and its not garbage time.
1 GAME lol ....get Dak's HOF jacket ready...:muttley:

P.S. 24 pts doesn't exactly confirm a win for any team in today's NFL.

With all day on pass protection on third. Any professional QB with time to throw, particularly man coverage is going to connect at a regular clip.
