How is one team undefeated and the other is 3-4?

[Chasing6]

9 years he's here and every year it's a new excuse. We knew how this season would go but it would still be the same QB under pressure and in big games as he's been that entire time only with more wear and tear. Not even sure what you're defending at this point. He's just as much part of the problem as the poor running game and terrible O line and that problem will still exist even if and when they fix those things. Mahomes has a run game because he's a legit threat in the passing game. D isn't just selling out to stop the run and forcing the QB to make ridiculous mistakes. Again a huge difference between the players.

Same excuse. GM Jethro.

Better D some will say, but I know if 2 minutes to go in the game and behind, one can get the job done and the other can’t.

Exactly. Mahomes it as his best when the game in on the line and the pressure is at its highest.

Dak is at his best when the game is out of hand and the defense is in prevent mode.

Besides the obvious things like mahomes and reid being light years ahead of dak and Mccarthy, I'd take Chris Jones for Micah straight up in a trade and our defense would instantly be better.

Dallas gives up 30 plus. KC gives up 16.5.

Not the same story.

Mahomes has to be at his best on 1 drive a game. Dak the entire game.

It doesn't matter, he's not in Mahomes category, he raises that team. Everyone talks how he has the crappiest WRs yet they score points. You think if you swap Mahomes with Prescott they're doing the same things? He makes incredible plays and highlight reel passes in key moments. There's a huge difference. you give the ball to both QBs at the 20 down by 4 with 1:30 on the clock and no time outs we know how it ends in both situations regardless of what the defense did all game.

Agree with the latter part, we seen it play out for both and at the highest levels SB for one.

It’s like you know he will pull it off and the other will not even get you in FG range for a win.

And one team has been in every game and not had a chance for the QB run up stats when it doesn't matter, then conveniently go 0-4 when it again matters (and the defense goes back to not playing prevent). I do agree with all those you said, but you conveniently left this one out - In other words, Dak played a lot worse than his stats indicate (again).

This post just killed the whole reason the OP nade this entire thread LOL

Now OP will have to start another tangential thread to find an excuse the below average play of the 60 million dollar man

Based on that we should send Dak to the Chiefs for Mahomes and at least a 3rd. Maybe a conditional 2nd?

Jed would probably block that trade.

Half of Daks's TD passes are in garbage time after the game has been decided.

Dak had a lead and stalled

This, some will say because of the D but that could also be because the O when not going 3 and out has committed a TO and given the other team O a short field to work with.

 

[gtb1943]

When the QB turns the ball over as often as he throws a TD or worse, goes three and out, then that is a huge load on the D
which is what happened

Yes, very difficult to stall running for 3.2 yards a carry.

Because Mahomes would have gotten his team in the end zone on the last drive and won the game and a 47 QBR is horrible

That's funny because Mahomes has not scored 30 points once this season and only 3 times last year.

Mahomes stats = Troy Aikman's stats.

This should actually be a clear example of how using strictly stats to judge a player is a good way to get a bad result.

A team stat is not an individual stat. Nice try.

Mahomes took a long term deal. Got rich and helped the team with making it 8-10 years. So, they can build a better team. And as a note, even in a down year for him his QBR is 7th. Dak’s is 23rd.
