I feel like I have heard this before. Dak is what he is....... he's going to make big plays and make incredibly bad ones.

Worst INT% of his career by a lot. 3.6%

For all but 2 years he kept it under 2%. Good. Fantastic under 1% as a rookie.

2nd worse season was 2017.
Under 2% 2018-2021.
And now ballooned up to 3.6%.

Hmmm. What was different for Dak from 2018-2021?
:huh:

I don't think Dak even believes it when he says this anymore. 3 years from now he'll still be trying to convince people that he's going to clean up his play.

It's funny that INT's are the only stat some of hang on with zero context. Every other stat Dak excels in, its " that stat doesnt tell the whole story" or "my eye test tells me something different", etc. Your eye test didn't see the WR run the wrong route, ball bounce off the WR hands, or the free play that wasnt called by the refs? lol...

Yall funny.

I love how when a stat like this is posted in a Dak sucks thread all the usual suspects don't have one comment. I think of Homer Simpson - DOH! Or, if actually acknowledged, they change the narrative - Allen's not that good! I love how the offensive success of the team DIRECTLY TIED TO DAK'S RETURN TO THE LINEUP has them scrambling and jumping all over each other to seize on something to be critical.

Does Allens struggles make you feel better about Dak's?

Dak accepts that he isn't playing good football. Why can't you?

If he could fix that, how did it get broken in the first place?

This is exactly like Romo's "we have to get better at that" after every poorly played game. Have to give them something, so we're working on that seemed sufficient except they kept doing the same thing.

Didn't McC do the same thing in the last quarter of last season about penalties and then commit 14 in the playoff game?

"I promise to do better".......wasted words.

The Cowboys talk too much and should let their actions speak on the field and this QB seems to talk more than any other in the league but I guess that's all part of the promotional circus.

Is the Bills QB issues supposed to somehow make our QB issues better?

That just means both QBs are playing bad.

It's still our problem.

Comparing Dak's struggles to another QBs struggles doesn't mean Dak isn't struggling, ya know? He knows it and accepts it. Do you?

BBBBbbbuuuuutttt.... Josh Allen.... He's struggling too.....

Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

Hammer meet nail. Prescott constantly talking about how good he is, how valuable he is, how much he's going to improve on this or that.... Blah blah blah

Guy spends tons of time blabbing about himself, his improvement, his goals, his value
why not just shut the hell up and just do it?

So tiresome.

More hurry up offense….honestly. Hurries the D up and limits the number of looks and coverages they can throw at Dak. Think we should start the game with more hurry up, maybe would limit our slow starts. As long as we’re not going 3 and out, 3 and out, d should be fine.

If you try to step back from the pro/anti-Dak war, there is a system issue here. I would guess that most of Dak's interceptions are on timing routes about 10-20 yards downfield. Dak was not a high INT QB early in his career and it was a strong part of his game.

I personally blame play design/calling for a large part of the INT issue. Soooo many analysts have pointed out that Dallas runs multiple routes into the same area. It came up again against the Texans where the color guy was almost laughing at a Cowboys play because two receivers went to the same area. Regardless, these route set ups are bringing in extra defenders and creating tight windows. You are just asking for a ball to get tipped.

Based on what Dak and Kellen have said, Kellen's opinion is to "be aggressive". Its pretty clear he is telling Dak to make the throw even if the window is small.

Again, IMO this is not a Dak issue. Its not a receiver or an O-line issue either. Its an OC issue.

Sad to reach for a stats comparison in segments by Allen to somehow elevate Dak. The fact is this season Allen has 26 TD's to 11 INT's with 3,553 yards and a 63.8% comp %......and the Bills are 10-3 with Allen.

Lolol
Moore's fault Dak can't throw into "tight windows". As if that's some extreme expectation of an NFL quarterback.

Man the excuses never end for #4
