the needle will move.
unlike what you may think. I am not a dak hater. I see him as what he is. a game manager. a bus driver. a middle of the pack QB with a low ceiling. I don't deny his desire. his willingness or his leadership abilities. I have never said he doesn't make plays at all....he makes plays, but not enough and he is inconsistent and he leaves a lot of yards/plays out there. His game is being a bus driver. minimize mistakes at the cost of not taking risks and making big plays. and there is nothing wrong with that. I have said that repeatedly. That's why he needs a very strong supporting cast and when he has that, he can manage games. Our team runs through Zeke (no pun intended). its not a coincidence when he was out last year for 6 games (and couple of games after he came back), the offense struggled to even score 10 points at times. When zeke plays and gets close to 100 yards, we are usually in the game, close and have a chance to win. This year when didn't rush close to a 100 we are 1-4 and 5-1 otherwise.
if Dak has a good game tonight then the needle moves. one game proves nothing. Branden Weeden won games in the league, which proves nothing about him. with good QBs its about consistency. during the game. game to game. season to season.
if we win, because Zeke had 200 yards from scrimmage (receiving and running). and Dak has about 250 yards, then that's Zeke again and Dak managing the game. we are playing against the 31st ranked pass defense. My expectations of a good QB is to shred that defense. Atlanta had 26th ranked pass defense giving up 273 yards per game....Dak had 208 passing. way below...
with Dak at QB we will never be Elite.....
