Dak is 3rd in the NFL in passing touchdowns? Behind Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers who are tied for #1 with 10?

For someone who has played so poorly......he sure seems to be able to find the end zone somehow?

He's also 3rd in the league in QBR behind Tom Brady and Deshaun Watson...........Hmmm.......

Dak has not sucked.
An 8:3 TD:int ratio is good. We all thought both the TDs and ints would go up some this year, but the ratio might go down some.
Even the 90 QB rating is not terrible. Not great, but not terrible.
The ypa is bad (25th in the league), so we're hoping that goes up.
The completion rate (28th in the league) is very low, so we want that higher too.
it will be. We're only 25% into the season.

He's also in the 20s in passer rating, completion percentage, yards per attempt. Football Outsiders had our passing O as 19th in the NFL before this weekend's games.

So he doesn't suck but he's also not playing great either.

Do you value qb rating or qbr?

I value it all. I look at everything because sometimes stats can skew just how a player is playing. So while his QBR is high, when you look at the totality of statistical evidence and analysis, that high QBR should probably be viewed with a bit of a slanted eye at this point.

Yeah he has some ways to go.......but the bad that we see from him.....seems his problems are consistent throughout the league.
Yep QB play as a whole seems to largely be down so far this season.

Qbr factors in more than qb rating.....qb rating doesn't factor in scrambling or what a qb does with his legs lol.

I know that. But I also know it's not the end all be all of stats. If you want to put a lot of faith in that and believe Dak Prescott really is playing like a Top 5 QB this year, have at it.

Did you know we're 2-2 and lost games to 2 rookie HCs, 1 starting a 6th round pick and another QB who is almost a rookie as well?

I don't know how much of other teams you watch or don't, but this season, he just might be playing like a top 5. Even with as much as he still needs to work on. QB play this season has largely not been good.

He may be playing top 5 this year if you factor what every other qb is doing. No one has been that stellar especially the usual suspects.

My stance is Dak isn't playing nearly as bad as some of you guys want us to believe. You can't just walk into a top 3 QBR rating.

So Carson Wentz is also a Top 5 QB?

Second of all, I don't want you to believe that he's playing terribly. I never uttered such a thing. But it's not surprise that simple minded people like yourself tend to overreact when they see criticism of a player. Immediately, you have to jump to the conclusion that the person criticizing thinks said player is awful or terrible.

It's very simple. He's not been awful. But he's also not been very good. He's not the reason we are 2-2 all by himself but he along with a combination of things has led to a 2-2 record.

Exactly! That's my stance. He very well may be a top 5 qb if you factor in what everyone else is doing. And the defenses he's played against.

LOL at thinking he's playing at a Top 5 QB level.

That's as silly as the people claiming he's awful and too bad we didn't stick with Romo.

I'm overreacting? Me? What do you call this site that has been pairing this fake narrative that Dak is playing terrible? All of these posts about how bad Dak is?
