If you think Dak played well

[starfan1]

Checking out of this obvious troll thread.

all you need do is look at OP and tells you all you need to about how thread will progress.

I laugh when The front page of this forum is littered with threads like “Is Dak elite?” And “Dak has the top QBR in the NFL” but when its time he actually plays like those threads suggest its everybody elses fault

I'm not going to pick on Dak but I agree that those constant threads are tiring.

Silence after games like Chicago or Denver, then as soon as there's a good game...."He's the best forever and ever!"
Stafford's 32 Tds and 4 ints are nothing compared to Dak because Dak's defense is bad.
He's the real MVP

Uh...What?

I'm NOT nor ever have been a Dak basher, but the drivel gets so old

Oooo, IDK, Dak was pretty bad. Sort of equally bad.

I dont know how anyone could remotely think that. Defense gave up 44 and didn't get a stop and allowed TDs when we needed stops.

 

[McKDaddy]

Who said everyone else was bad besides Dak ? Not me. CD and Flo both balled.

I said Ferg and Pickens was bad on offense. I said the defense was bad for giving up 2 quick TDs and 44 points overall. If you couldn't see that. I don't know what to tell you.

I never said I couldn't see other issues. I was sticking to the topic of this thread.

Aubrey, the kicker, is basically in a perfect situation. Every stalled drive by Dak = another long-distance kick opportunity. He’s going to rack up points, look heroic, and maybe even become a legend — all thanks to a consistently underperforming offense.

Honestly, why would he ever want to be traded? The guy’s living the dream: long kicks, highlight reels, and zero pressure to carry a team. Logic > feelings.

And I don't know how anyone could think Dak played well. Both were not good. We settled for FGs over and over and over. That worked 30 years ago.

Two things can be true at the same time.

Dak had a lot of passing yards. 374? That’s a lot by any measure.

The first pick was, at worst, on Pickens. The ball was placed perfectly. It was defended well, and we got a “bad bounce”.

To say “he got CeeDee concussed” is kind of absurd. He threw a ball to the outside shoulder and CeeDee made a fantastic attempt at catching it. But that’s football.

It is also true that the defense, which is statistically HORRID this year, gave up an absurd number of points. Is this not the 3rd game we have given up 40+ points? 4th game maybe?

Multiple commentators last night were aghast at Pickens’ obvious lack of effort (for whatever reason). How many sacks and pressures did we give up? 5 sacks? 6? How many pressures?

It isn’t just one thing or one player. It rarely is.

 

[cowboys1732]

it's his right to start a thread about the specific topic of how the QB performed. that doesn't speak to his or anyone else's "other" thoughts about the game.

threads like this are started because there are those who start threads blaming everyone BUT the QB in every game for the last decade.

your comment came off as Dakstanish but if I misreprented you, then I retract that statement.

Fair enough brother. Bad night, bad game by all. But when the defense plays that poorly, it would not matter who was under center last night, in my humble opinion.

 

[WillieBeamen]

If you had Aubrey on your fantasy team, you are probably going to win this week.

The fact that he had to make 3 55+ yarders is an indictment on the QB not being great last nite

A lot easier to get to 30 points when you have a kicker who nails them from 50 in his sleep.

He contributed 16 of our 30 points last night

I agree with your first sentence.

Kinda agree with your second except it looked like Dak threw a high off target ball to me.

He contributed 18 last week IIRC

Aubrey is a real advantage. He takes a crap load of pressure off ‘Choker Prescott.’ As long as Dak can get him anywhere near 60 yards from the goal post, we can put up points. Facts > feelings.

 

[Captain-Crash]

Joking aside, think about it — any QB would love this. Dak only has to get the offense to mid-field, and then the best kicker in the NFL can reliably put points on the board. It’s like having a safety net with a rocket strapped to it. Facts > feelings.

2 TDs? That's not a lot by any measure.

 

[BoyzBlaster]

That’s every qb though lol.

It's really not lol.

 

[Vtwin]

You obviously didn't look very hard. It took me like 5 minutes to find out you were lying.

The Cowboys beat the Eagles in Philly in the season finale of Dak's second season. The Eagles won the Super Bowl that year. But don't tell me.. let me guess. That one doesn't count because the alignment of the planets that day.

Don't like that one.. The Cowboys also won at Philly at the end of 2021. Philly was a wild card team that year. But we won't count that one either because wild card teams don't actually make the playoffs. Right?

I can't believe people actually clicked like on your nonsense. Quit making up crap to suit your narrative. Someone other than the usual DDS sufferers might take you seriously.

Now go ahead and crank up your goal post moving machine.

LOL!!!!

Your only examples are two meaningless games to close out the season?

In 2017 Dak went toe to toe with the great Nate Sudfeld and won 6 to 0 in a game with nothing on the line.

In 2021 Dak went toe to toe with the great Gardner Mineshew II in a game with nothing on the line. Dak and the Cowboys lit up the Eagles in this one. A no pressure game with nothing on the line.

How about 2019? Remember what happened on the road against the Eagles with a playoff spot on the line?

 

[Shotgun Dave]

I agree with your first sentence.

Kinda agree with your second except it looked like Dak threw a high off target ball to me.

It’s hard to say, honestly. Is that meant to be an off-shoulder or in inside pass? I’d throw it off-shoulder, and I think that’s how it was designed; you shield the ball from the DB. But actually getting into the right position isn’t as simple as that, and CeeDee had to twist his body to free himself from the DB. That happens all the time in this league. All the time.

But even if the pass was somewhat errant, to say “Dak got him concussed” is still kind of absurd. This is football. CeeDee makes catches like that all the time because he’s insanely talented.

This time, he wasn’t able to cushion his impact. I knew he was concussed the second he hit the ground. Watch the replay - his fingers were moving all around like he was still trying to catch the ball when he was just laying there. He was in another world. Wouldn’t be shocked if he missed the next game, to be honest.

 

[McKDaddy]

I hope to never seem them ever again I hate playing them it’s always something stupid.

unfortunately the "stupid" is us. we can't blame the opponent for that

 

[Ken]

And I don't know how anyone could think Dak played well. Both were not good. We settled for FGs over and over and over. That worked 30 years ago.

I don't think he played well. I think he played average but everything around him was terrible. No running game, OL played bad, Defense was crap, coaching was crap, ST was crap.

Settling for Fgs was also on the coaches. That one before the half was egregious.
