Dak has not fared well in the playoffs. Not a single QB in the past 28 years has fared well in the playoffs. Romo and Dak are the best of that bunch the past 28 years, yet neither fared well. Dak failed to put the team on his shoulders and beat the Packers. I will only say that in that particular game, I don’t think any current QB in the NFL would have won that game. Several likely would have played better, but I don’t see how any would have won.
Most of us recognize that Dak is a good starting QB who needs a good team around him. I still believe he is capable of leading us to a SB, but not with an offense that cannot run where he needs to pass 35 times, and not with a defense that requires he lead the offense to score over 30 against every good team. If Jerry believes he can, he’s wrong. If you believe we will find a QB who can, you are just as wrong. When you have an above average QB, you don’t need an all star at every position, but you need a solid, dependable defense. It doesn’t have to be the best, but it needs to control the run and be consistent, not wildly up and down. You also need a balanced offense that can run the ball and make plays through the air. It is more important to be good at both than great at either.
If Dallas cannot become more balanced on offense and cannot build a capable, dependable, consistent defense, then it would be wise to find a way to move on from Dak because we will not win in the playoffs. But that probably holds true of any QB who takes over.
