What accounts for this phenomenon is the same phenomenon that allowed Deshaun Watson a multi year starter who had better stats and accomplishments at Clemson than Trevor Lawrence (the consensus #1) to get picked lower than a guy like Mitch Trubisky who didn’t even start a full year and put up worse stats in college than the starter before him that couldn’t even get drafted the year prior.
Stats? You use college stats as a sole evaluation tool? Weak stuff, dude.

Based on what? Because he threw a pick at the end of a couple of games, not bailing the team out of the hole turnovers created?

1994 NFC Championship game, Aikman tosses a couple of picks. Battled back, but could not close the deal. With perhaps the best defense in the game at that time and the triplets.

2007 NFC play-off game vs the Giants. Romo takes two huge sacks and doesn't throw the ball away. (Everyone blames Crayton, but Romo made two huge mental errors by taking those sacks in subsequent drives) Then throws into double coverage to lose the game by being intercepted by McWhorters.

I think you are completely wrong about Dak being a difference maker. Else how did they come back in the Atlanta game and nearly win two others on the last play?

And in both cases, Dak had a worse defense than the two QB's above.

Context.

Both the 49ers and the Giants would go on to win Super Bowls, in those respective years. The Falcons would go on to post a 4-12 record in 2020.
