Twitter: For fans concerned about Dak passing under 200 yards

[Chrispierce]

There are a lot of fans who value stats as much or more than winning.

Has to do with “fantasy football”. Like if Aikman was in this era? Looool Holy snot...they would have had his butt on a flaming rotisserie after one year,with a full protest to kick him out of here.

what about when you average 6.5 yards? 6.1? seems pretty picky stats to me?

The stat quoted by Sturm, as manufactured as it was, is BS anyway. It doesn’t add up.

 

[tm1119]

So out of a 6,144 game field we are talking about a 27 game sample size...seems like a pretty niche stat. If you look hard enough you can find stats that backup whatever argument you want.

Show me what % of QB’s win playoff games with these stats and I’ll believe

 

[Aviano90]

Don't need it because it doesn't mesh with your agenda... sounds about right.

You've convinced me 200 yards is important. It's just OK for Romo to do it, but not Dak in your book. Who has the agenda?

Oh hey look, Brandon Weeden's mom is back.

If Dak can pass for ~10 ypa in subzero weather, nobody reasonable would be complaining. Passing for sub 6.5 ypa in an indoor stadium against a mediocre defense with no offensive support is something else.

And the Romo harem has been poked.

Actually, read what I said. I said that you aren't going to win many games consistently against winning teams with under 200 yards passing, especially if you don't have a good defense. We didn't win that game, but if you want to look at blame, I would certainly not put it on Romo. Yards are important but they aren't everything.

Hey look, Matt Cassel’s boyfriend is back.

Heh, you’ll never live that one down, troll. What a laugh.

 

[Galian Beast]

Most manufactured stat I've seen all year, honestly both adam and sturm should be ashamed of themselves...

They were just important Sunday night in a victory we were in total control. Got it.

I know. I laughed at you too. That was hilarious. Glad you agree.

Brad Johnson 18/34 215 yrds won Superbowl. Peyton Manning 13/23 141 yrds won the Superbowl.

Defense won those Super Bowls-Qb’s didn’t. They just did not lose the game. There is a difference between winning a game and not losing it.

With this defense games like that by Dak will result in wins. Does not mean we won because of the QB. Does not mean he did not play well either!

We were in control because we played a bad team with a bad offense... Again, read what has been written. The problem with scavenging victories against poor teams is that it doesn't mean anything against good teams. Which we won't beat consistently with those results.

Are you on that Randy Gregory? Not a one person would say they won their teams the SB they just happened to be on them. Stop it esp when we all know the defense carried both those teams

We haven't beaten good teams consistently with a better QB and it wasn't all on the defense. In elimination game the offense has stunk, even with Romo as QB. Our top 10 offense pretty much looked like crap with the season on the line. So, we still have no confidence in our offense against the better teams. I'm used to that, aren't you?

Trust me you do NOT want to argue numbers with @AdamJT13 . That dude will school you and steal your lunch money!

Last dude that tried is still wearing orthopedic underwear.........

It wasn't all on defense? How many points did the defense give up in "elimination" games?

 

[Blackspider214]

Couldn't care less about individual stats. The big W comes first at all times. The stats will buzz with losses.

Do people want to go back to the days of when we attempted 40-50 passes with Romo and he was racking up 300-400 yards a game in losses? I don't care about stats. Win the games. Can Dak improve? Absolutely. Then again, so can every QB in this league besides a certain few. In 2016 when we won 13 games, we were not putting up huge numbers. We controlled the clock. And now our defense seems better which will help out the offense. This offense has the ability to be very efficient. What we want to do is what we did on that 8minute drive to seal the Giants win. We are not going to sling it all over the field like the 8-8 Romo years.

 

[Ranching]

Continue to support him when he doesn't get the job done against the elite teams in the NFL. Beating the now 0-2 Giants and having another sub 200 game isn't going to cut it.

So, let me get this straight, you WANT him to do bad....OK, I got it. Carry on.

They weren't good, but the offense sucked too. It's just Romo fans always want to put everything on the defense or other players making mistakes. It's the same story with Romo lovers, excuse after excuse after excuse. It was both the offense and the defense. You guys try to act like these games were 51-48 shootouts that Romo was falling just short.
