Does Dak have a low football IQ?

[Lifetimeboyzfan]

No. But many of our fans sure do!

 

[atlantacowboy]

I don’t think he does. I do think he gets some kind of anxiety attack at the end of games. He looks hurried and flustered in the 2 minute offense rather than composed. He missed a couple of open guys for TDs at the end bc he locks in and gets tunnel vision.

If he does, why doesn’t the team put him in the right position to succeed? It was 1st and goal at the 6. Instead of taking a sack after the penalty, he should have threw it away. I’ve noticed Dak seems to do this often under pressure in the big games. I’m not even trying to hate on the guy right now. I just sometimes wonder if he has a low football IQ! This falls on coaching too.

Yeah. Dak's football IQ is so low, that he's a 4th rounder who's outplayed every quarterback in his draft class and he's outplayed other 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rounders at the quarterback position.

His low football IQ has kept him in the top 10 out of 64+ quarterbacks in the NFL most of his career.

Dude just make an I dont like Dak thread, stop trying to smoke screen it...I would love for you to break down the film and tell me what desicions he should of made based on your vast knoweledge of MM's scheme and its defensive keys...

yeah, how many ways can we start the same thread

 

[GINeric]

No. But many of our fans sure do!

I swear, we have some of the dumbest football fans in the damn world. Saying they have extremely low football IQs is actually a complement to most of them.

 

[CATCH17]

Dak was the best player on the field Sunday.

He also made a rookie mistake in the biggest moment of the game.


The negative is we are a road playoff team now which means another year of not going to the Super Bowl.

But at least Dak performed in a big game and didn’t completely disappear till it was too late or just straight up cost us the game.

 

[GINeric]

All this justifying Dak, condemning Dak means nothing.

Did we win a critical game we should have won?

NO!

Dak, as the quarterback and the highest paid player on the team, takes the bulk of the credit when we win and the bulk of the criticism when we lose.

Don't like it? Doesn't matter.

It is what it is. It comes with the territory. Insert your own favorite cliche.

Thats a pile of BS. Dak very RARELY gets credit when we win, but takes 100% of the blame when we lose.

LOL, another hilarious post

Maybe it’s poor line play?

 

[CowboysFever1973]

WHAT!

so a pre-snap penalty pushed us back 5 yards? whose IQ is that? then the HC, OC and OL coaches had a brain fart, having seen Steele being abused, yet insisted on leaving him on an island...why? is that on Dak? is that his IQ?

so yeah, you want to put all the blame on one person. make him the coach, the OL coach, the OC and everything else, but there is plenty of blame to go around.

with that said, why didn't we even consider running from the 6? why not focus on lack of run blocking and our inability to Run?

sorry, your post was misguided at least in the context you used.

btw, Dak is not Elite, so arguing and complaining why he is not elite is just another one of the 14,587 threads that already try to prove what's already known fact.

We know Dak isn’t elite. If he was we would have results. Results!!!!!!

 

[CowboysFever1973]

Maybe it’s poor line play?

The line wasn’t great admittedly, but Dak needs to recognize break downs faster on the offense, see the field and adapt. If we had Allen, that’s 6 points!

so are you complaining about not having an Elite QB? is that your whole complaint?

Or a pick 6.

Hurts wonderlic was an 18 well there goes this theory up in flames..

It was 21....not 18

Luckily for eagles fans....even though he may have average football IQ....he notoriously works non stop..... so I guess it's like having a truck driver that can never exceed 55 mph, but can drive 24 hrs straight without getting tired....vs a truck driver that can go 80, but needs to take naps for 10 hours a day.

The slower more diligent driver travels more miles every day.

I'm surprised Ben Rothlesburger didn't get a 3. He always struck me as a real mouth breather.

When you add up the stupid mishaps he's made in his career, I think it's evident that while his actual QB play can be up to par most of the time, what's between his brain has much left to be desired especially in those critical key-game moments where IQ is most important.

• The 2019 Rams coin toss
• End of 2021 49ers playoff game, couldn't spike the ball on time because he chose to run
• Whole career: Has issues scanning the field and reading defenses quickly, takes too long in the pocket

Who knows?

He got a Degree in Leader Management. His IQ is way up there. When you can out do one of the richest men in the world like he did? That is not dumb. Now his decisions on the field are not really smart...them stats are good...so is that bag ole money. Here we come.

If by "outdo one of the richest men in the world", you're referring to his contract, his agents did the negotiating for that, not him. There are arguments to support his intelligence, but that's not one of them, IMO.
