If you think Dak played well

I saw an ad this morning showcasing a farmer using ChatGPT to figure out what is wrong with her soybean.

Nothing wrong with that. AI has it's uses. Using it to argue, bully, and insult people on a social media / sports forum ...likley isn't one of them.

Did someone say that on this topic?

I'm asking if it needs to be, so some folks feel better.

I mean it's a forum and people are going to vent. I mean if we can say that the team sucks then not really sure how that somehow excludes dak from the label of sucking.

OK, let's break down your arguments full of suppositions stated as a priori:

"back-to-back wins against quality teams" - as "proof" that Dak is a great QB.

1. Only you think made-up categories aka participation trophies for second rate players and lame fans is a thing. The goal is the SB and playoff relevance.
2. 2 wins in a row in a 17 game season...kinda leaves out meaningful context for evaluating the player. How did Dak perform against the Lion's banged up secondary? Or the Panthers? Or the Cardinals?
3. My favorite is your "quality teams" comment. Tell me...how great do the Eagles or Chiefs look CURRENTLY?

The rest of your post - and the sentences prior to it - are littered with such babble. "leading the league" - based on WHAT STAT? Seems you've lost the plot. Top salary demands top scrutiny...not meaningless "awards" for the weak and credulous.

Measuring a team or QB's success based on extrapolating the current play of two teams (Eagles and Chiefs) on what they achieved in the past is a common mistake made by too many on this website. I have read several threads stating that the Cowboys (and Dak) have been playing great football as of late (Lions being the exception). Why? Because they beat both Super Bowl teams in consecutive weeks. Unlike some of the prognosticators on this forum, I wasn't aware that these two teams will be playing in this year's Super Bowl.
This is a year-to-year league. The Eagles have three straight losses, and the Chiefs have lost 4 out of their last 5 games. Neither team resembles anything like what they achieved in 2025. But it doesn't stop some from trying to prop up "their" guy.
It's the same mindset each year when the schedule comes out on whom we will be playing. Some fans look at the schedule, point out that we will be playing 9 teams that made the playoffs the prior year, and them predict how many of them we will win/lose.

lol

why don't you ask Chat GPT how to recognize a narcissist?

I did. It showed me your picture.

2-5

Still leads the NFL, and Dak doesn’t play defense.

DDS is real.

 

[Shotgun Dave]

New York Dolls?

Love the reference!

Buster says hello!

 

[Shotgun Dave]

i just get it. my original post just said i hadn’t digested the game enough to determine his play and this weirdo went off the rails.

DDS is real.

 

[Shotgun Dave]

This crap is ridiculous. No one but opposing fan trolls are relieved that the defense is a complete cesspool and has consistently ranked at the bottom the entire season.
It's purpose is to bait.
Do you guys really need to hear everyone say: "Dak isn't great" no matter what the topic is?

Certain people, yes. It’s all they can talk about.

Giving him too much credit Syd.


What QB has two receivers as good as the ones we have and cant score more than 2Tds?

What QB has recievers that fumble and drop passes as much. Or did you forget about CD drops and Pickens quitting in the middle of the game and Fergi fumbles...

And which not those QBs have a defense that has given up 37+ poi ts 3 times this year?

Its not a defensenof Dak but looking at things in a vacuum you tend to solve the vacuum not the actual problem.

But he certainly can affect defense can he not? I mean if it's a team sport and "complimentary football" to you isn't just players just complimenting each others tights.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

So the crying is because Dak is not Mahomes.

Mahomes is a generational QB and KC got lucky drafting him. How many QBs compare today to Mahomes. Bet its not more fingers than one hand. This is unfair to Mahomes. Also unfair to Dak or most other QBs because that is a level.hard to reach.

If Dak had a league MVP, multiple all Pros, 3 SB MVP Awards and a bunch of Lombardi's in the closet, he would deserve (and receive) a longer leash from just about everyone on this board. But he doesn't..

It's hilarious to see the Stans trot out the "But Mahomes" or "But Brady" card whenever they had a struggle etc.
As if Dak is even fit to shine their shoes.

C'mon man. If Dak is so damn great, defending him should be easy. you shouldn't have to resort to constantly pointing out other peoples occasional struggles to prop him up.

Horrible Post

did she find out?

 

[Proof]

Oh...leads yards eh? Since you only rely on AI, ask it who leads the NFL in passing attempts.

Since we're making fun of "hommes this year...Dak has .3 more YPA than him. Jordan Love has .3 MORE.
Dak has almost one yard less per attempt than 5 other QBs.


Good for Dak he's at the top of the chart. Laugh all you want....But it's a case where just raw stats spit out by a computer doesn't tell the whole story. You have to think for yourself if you can.

"Dak leads the league in yards...let's not talk about the rest of the story".

it's still notable imo. maybe not AS impressive, but still a feat. Second in TD's as well. And without going too too in the weeds, how do their completion pcts compare? (that's not a gotcha, I don't know and am genuinely asking)

I didn't see it on the chart. I can look.

I'm not a big fan of any one or two stats. I was trying to fill out the story line about most yards....in my simple minded way.

Excuses.

It is?

 

[Whirlwin]

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

It makes me laugh, he’s the only thing that keeps us in the game.
It is everybody else’s fault. No quarterback can do it by themselves.
