Not today. They played better today. They ran the ball decently. And they gave Dak time.

So, not today. I saw improvement today. Dak just looked bad at times, with overthrows, bad interceptions, etc.
Very simple true assessment.

That is true... he did well with man coverage. But that zone coverage must make him feel like he is reading a book on Quantum Theory lol.

Whether it is 2018 or now with Amari and now, his numbers against man coverage shoot up.

This is why I say he’s Jekyll and Hyde. He’s a first read QB that can make the throws when he knows where he is going. But as soon as he needs to process the field, he’s incredibly slow and late in his delivery. I don’t think he’s just risk averse, he just doesn’t have that make-up.

He’s essentially peaked.

LOL...........so you lost the first argument, and now you change it to making the SB?

Typical.

Who says Dak will play like today? Will the run game suck too? Going to be hard to win the SB with your entire offense sucking.

We need more genius stuff like this on this site. Keep it coming. :muttley:

LOL I lost no argument. We beat an inferior team today despite bad QB play. You can’t do that in the postseason. You think we can go into Lambeau and win with Dak playing like he did today.

It’s hilarious that some of you struggle to criticize Dak.

Who need Dak with this defense? the defense continues to do its job and that is why they is winning, but the one who is collecting the millions is Dak,

Defense wasn't that great in the clutch either. We needed to shut them down or keep it at 8. So I'm disappointed how the defense folded like a chair also some in the 4th quarter. Whole team needs to get better, Especially Dak. You throw a pick 6? Defense is helpless.

No I understand completely. I understand that we won today. So you trolls cant use your usual excuse that we lost because of Dak. LOL

So you have to make up some mythical scenario like a future game and blame Dak for losing that one. :lmao2::lmao2::lmao::lmao:

I also understand that although Dak and the passing game played poorly today, no one on offense has been worse then Zeke and the run game. 7 weeks and counting.

If we dont fix one or either, then yah we probably wont win the SB. But then I didnt need some dak hating troll like you to tell me that.

Ever since his calf injury, he hasn't looked the same. $40 million dollar QBs don't look like this.

Dak is looking worse week to week. He's the only reason why we almost lost this game.

You're thoughts?
It's time to sit the average Dak Prescot and start our average backup so that average Dak can find the cape he lost a few weeks ago................

No doubt the worst QB to play in this game today. Heinicke at least drove them down the field for a TD and 2-pts vs. a tough defense. If Dak was under siege like that, it would have been UGLY

Seriously…. People complain about Dak’s blocking…. That’s standard for what most QBs face weekly. Heinicke literally was getting wrecked every play.

He’s not seeing the field at all.

Hes awful against zone and never sees the field well against it. When the running game performing at a high level, defenses were playing one safety, man all day. Now teams aren’t threatened by the run, so you are seeing teams shoe one deep safety pre-snap and then dropping into cover 2, so he’s probably not checking out into run.

Yeah that dude's play just elevating everyone around him... well except LVE. He still is still sucking.

Apparently LVE was one of our highest rated players today, so lets hope he can at least be a complementary piece like today going forward.

Again, 2018 with the addition of Cooper:


Much of Cooper’s impact this season has been against a man defense. Since Cooper’s first game with Dallas in week nine he ranks first against man defenses in yards (432), yards after the catch (209), touchdowns (6) and has put up a 139 receiver rating.

Having Cooper as a weapon against man defenses has improved the entire offense, as Prescott’s game has been elevated to new heights against man defenses, including a 48-point jump in IQR.

Comp % Y/A TD INT IQR
Pre Amari 52% 6.2 3 3 71
With Amari 61% 8.8 8 1 119

Despite this massive jump in production against man defense, Prescott has not had nearly as much success against a zone defense and his IQR has dropped from 100 to 84 with Cooper on the roster. Though he has an 80 percent completion percentage versus zones, it’s almost entirely short-pass based. He has no touchdowns and two interceptions on 91 attempts.


https://sportsinfosolutionsblog.com...-amari-cooper-face-challenge-with-colts-zone/

He then played the Colts after this article, the Colts, who play primarily cover 2, shifted a safety over to Cooper’s side and we got shut out.

You will find similar numbers this year with man as well, but he has even better WRs. But again, even against San Diego which plays almost exclusively cover 2, like the Colts, he sucked. This was game 2 of the season. And the Saints and Commanders played plenty cover 2.

He’s just never been good at finding holes in the zone. With an elite RG, you force teams out of heavy zone and also out your team in third and manageable, where you can go run or pass.

That’s what was happening earlier in the year.. Now, it’s not.

His “mental toughness” is questionable, considering it all starts to go downhill when he faces a little pressure as far as OL blocking is concerned.
It’s pretty apparent his mental acuity is lacking.

Go figure. We could possibly have a decent front seven
