I put it this way. Tampa Bay has Brady who everyone acknowledges is the greatest of all time. When he doesn't play up to standard Arians calls him out. Meanwhile in Dallas a guy who we acknowledge might be great someday gets defended for every mistake he makes.

Great teams are never satisfied and acknowledge where they can improve

Bingo. All about accountability. Dak is above that in Dallas

Except that Brady threw 2 picks a few weeks ago against this same defense, lost the game and no one called him out for it.

At what point in my post did I say he DIDN'T look bad. Especially in the second half.. That makes two weeks in a row when he was fine for most of the first half and bad in the second. That is the sort of them that makes me wonder about the calf stiffening up on him during the halftime break .. Clearly something aint right.. My post is about the bottom line.. which is winning. Dak can play like hot garbage for all I care as long as we win.. THAT is my point. That calf is affecting his mechanics and frankly that might not get any better until he has some down time. He and Nussmeier need to get together and figure out how to get his mechanics to get right even with the calf impaired. Hopefully the two nice runs he had today might get his mind right as far as running is concerned. He just needs to be more decisive.
I like this take. We’re all with you in hoping he can figure things out

Oh so you will feel better if someone from the organization publicly shames Dak? Yea that always ends well. Once someone does that you people will be roasting them for not keeping it in house.

btw… Brady just lost to the Washington Team and threw 2 picks in the process.

I was totally with you until Dak’s pick six. Something is wrong.
The pick six was a bad read. Same with earlier interception. Your not beating Rodgers, Brady and Murray making those reads.

Does anyone believe we look like a team that will go deep into the playoffs? Maybe we will. But if I was a betting man, I would bet we are not.

You’re as insufferable as ever, I see. I don’t know why I didn’t put you on ignore years ago.

Jerry Jones is willing to publicly throw the entire WR group under the bus in order to protect Dak.

Don’t give me any of this “you people” BS. Go annoy someone else.

Dude, right now Dak is not putting up garbage numbers, or does he look anything close to a franchise QB. Educated fans see what is going on with him, not expecting 35/40 with 450 yards and 3 td's. If he stopped looking lost out there, could hit a target and read the play in front of him nobody would be worried about his play

What are you waiting for. Oh no you may put me on ignore. Weak minds like you are better living in echo chambers with people as miserable in life as you are.

do you have an other weak points to make tonight?

The NFC has some stout teams at the top of their divisions and a current #5 seed with a lot of talent. The common thread......dominant QB play.

That was 5 weeks ago and since then Brady has led TB to 4 straight wins while throwing 9 TD's to 3 INT's and has TB at 11-3....try comparing that to Dak's stats recently.

That’s not the point. No one cares about the stats. We care about the eye test. This isn’t going to cut it come playoff time. If he can dink and dunk and win, so be it. But missing 5 yard passes isn’t good. At all.
Playoff time? LOL. 2 weeks ago we were going to lose out. Make up your mind.

Last year when Dak was putting up record breaking numbers people twisted themselves into knots telling us that the stats didn't matter and winning was all that mattered.. Now Dak is putting up mediocre numbers in wins and NOW we're worried about the numbers.. Yall are a strange bunch..
Stats don't matter, but he was playing against backups to backups, he has had some poor games, no big deal but you just can't see it, it was a W in spite of Dak not because of him.

All I see is passes. Bad ones. And bad play. High wide and outside. Can't read a defense to save his life. Terrible footwork. Don't carry about stat numbers at all. I do care about the number of bad throws I see him making. Commanders are not a good football team. Tons of injury. U won't win a game in the playoffs playing like Dak did yesterday.

Oh yes they did.
His own coach did so publically---which was a bit weird, imo.

Anyway, Brady is playing at such a higher level overall that a hiccup is just that.
