I can see both sides of the Dak debate. The larger the sample size (and it’s become fairly large) the harder it is to draw the reasonable conclusion that Dak is elite.
1. He seems to wilt against the better teams, that’s a trend that seems to have become fairly predictable.
2. I know that coaching and scheming and dropped balls aren’t helping Dak’s cause, but how is it someone else’s fault when Dak throws the ball behind open receivers (repeatedly) or Dak zips the ball straight into the ground three yards short of the receiver, or way over the receiver’s head, or throws it entirely too hard (decapitating the receiver) when it’s a 5 yard throw, when the receiver is wide open.
3. Who is at fault when Dak sees a receiver wide open but Dak doesn’t trust what he is seeing?
4. Is it someone else’s fault when Dak doesn’t see clearly wide open receivers running free on what would be an easy pitch and catch for a touchdown?
These are far too common for an elite QB. Dak doesn’t suck entirely, but the team is going to have to carry Dak, not the other way around if we are going to have success in the playoffs with Dak. And that $40m salary doesn’t help things at all.
