Hands down Dak is better than Purdy

Oh sure, they've been inconsistent due to defensive play at time, but anyone ignoring the fact Dak has also been up and down is just blind. He wasn't very good against the Titans (85 rating) or the Texans (79 rating) and bad against the Skins (45 rating). That's sprinkled in amongst some really good games. That's in the last 8 games. So yeah, he's been inconsistent.

So my point stands. If he plays like he did against the Bucs, they have a great shot to win. If he plays like he did against the Texans or Titans, it's going to be a much tougher game to win. How anyone can disagree with that............ LOL.
that's what makes him not Elite. if he was consistently like the Tampa game (more often) then he would be Elite. with that said, he is more up than down. and his down's outside of Washington game where the whole team sucked coach on down, have not been horrible.

Which Dak?
the one playing in a secure pocket?
or the other guy under pressure?
Is this the new obscure dig on Dak?

Not sure their is a qb in the league who excells under constant pressure.

Imagine Aikman didn't have clean pockets?

No super bowls in the o0s.

That’s because half the forum was “Dak can’t do it in the postseason” posts. Those folks are sitting on their hands for now.
Until Dak beats SF nothing has changed. It was a great win but TB was not a good team.

Smoke and mirrors will come to an end Sunday afternoon. Purdy was drafted dead last for a reason. Dak was drafted much higher because he had a superior college career. Dak lead the #1 ranked team in college.

Dak is playoff battle proven and Purdy is a novice with just one win. Purdy won't be able to handle a #1 defense like Dallas. Quinn will have him seeing ghosts.

I just can't see anyone claiming Purdy is the better QB
Based on your logic Chad Pennington (drafted #18 overall) is better than Tom Brady because Brady was drafted in the 6th round.

Dak is in his 7th season whereas Purdy has played 7 games......so stop with the crazy comparison.

It's about the team though ...... We will find out Sunday afternoon who has the best team.

Go Cowboys
Then we’ll lose because SF is the better team.

Thankfully all that matters is who is the best team for three hours on Sunday afternoon. And the lesser team accomplishes that all the time in the playoffs.

Who said constant pressure?
It wasn't a subtle dig at Dak.
It's fact, if he gets flustered he's in trouble .
Please, Aikman would have, and did, hit well covered targets on his first read. Maybe Troy would have planted his foot and threw a undefensable out to Irvin.
Let's check this again next Monday.

But again he is only 19 mill to the cap this year, like i said its all on how you want to view it, Going off this years playoff performance so far...yeah he is better than Burrow and Allen and Lawrence any GM that doesnt agree is going off something other than this years playoff performance so far.
Mahomes cap hit this year is 35 mill
if he helps the cowboys win in San Fransisco Dak will have justified the investment for sure and atoned for last year and the other years he underperfomrmed. Your argument about him being better than Allen and Lawrence will have legs then.
One great game is not enough given the buccanneers lost 9 games this year. I know we want to be positive but the reality is we still need more from dak and the team to justify the billing. But i like what i saw against Tampa.
Mahomes i think you agree is in a different league as he has won a SB and has taken his team to other SB and CCGs . let us see.

I watched Aikman fall apart when everything wasn't perfect...it was a huge knock on him.

When it was, he was unconscious though.

Every qb in the league plays worse with pressure...it is a team game.

I based it on 7 years. Not 1 game.
What does his performance 7 years ago have to do with today? I agree that he was not always this cavalier with his throws but his performance since coming back from injury was consistent but for this most recent game.

It's encouraging but he is more likely to return to his recent performance standard as opposed to anything from 7 years ago.

You’re entitled to your opinion.

Of course and looking at his work this year and judging on recent events is going to be more compelling than ignoring that and biasing for when he was better in the more distant past.

Purdy has caught lightning in a bottle. Frankly almost any QB could look good with the O line and weapons San Fran has on offense. The question is whether the stage will eventually get too big for him as the pressure increases. Some D coordinator is going to figure out a way to hit him in the mouth a few times and see if they can give him a case of the Yips. We haven't seen it so far and he is much more elusive then folks give him credit for. I'm hoping Dan Q can figure out a way. Shanahan is one helluva coach, and I think he will have a plan for almost every situation. That said, Mike Tyson once said everyone has a plan until you hit them in the mouth.


...and then he got up and helped the Niners beat them 35 - 7

For sure its 1 game at a time right now, and in past years for sure Mahomes is better BUT if he loses his playoff game playing bad the premise still holds.. every QB in the playoffs is only as good as what happened last game because there is no tomorrow to make up for it now.

And ignoring his entire career is also being biased. Cherry picking dates.

Purdy has something Dak has not been able to find. Consistency.

Is Dak better than Purdy? Define better.
