As I stated multiple times prior, because folks like to re-package old claims in a new form, Dak as considered clutch his first 3 years. In reality, it was a team built on game management for the QB, while the OL and RG wore down opposing defenses to the point Dak, in the 4th quarter could sit back in the pocket all day and make easy throws.
Ive posted this article from 2020 multiple times as evidence that Dak in reality is not a QB that performs in the clutch the more and more responsibilities were placed on his shoulders as a PASSING QB and this team couldn’t rely on an all-pro blocking and RG to keep the focus of the defense.

Within 2 years, this claim Dak was “clutch” was starting to get exposed in the press as a myth. Also, his struggles against zone began to show as teams no longer forced into situations of playing so much man coverage as a counter to the RG.

First of all, the article clearly states the baseline that articles were using to define clutch as 4th quarter comeback were basically bogus.



The article then proceeds to refute this claim of clutch be saying:



Dak was not even in LEAGUE AVERAGE category when the team needed to rely on his arm to push the ball downfield. What these stats indicate also, is the fact despite having the best OL in the league, his sack rate went up to higher than the league average meaning he was holding onto the ball too long. The fact his INT was lower then the league average pointed out he doesn’t take risks and goes into a complete shell.

The experimentation process this year of “just letting it rip” let to some of the most bone-headed INTs regularly you’d ever witness. As this article points out,



Now look at this stat:

So let’s stop pretending Romo and Dak were playing in the same situation of the same offense. As a bunch of us “haters” pointed out. Dak can’t throw from a 3-5–7 drop-back. consistently, so they have to limit the playbook. And while the 7 step drop-back has gradually faded out in the modern NFL, Dak’s usage was still way below league level and this not taking into account the 3-5 drop-back. What Dallas does with Dak is they do drop-back is from shotgun, not under Center, which Dak is horrible out. This in itself is problematic because opposing defenses know Dallas is limited when they see Dak under Center.

Ok, lets take a look.

Dak has a 92.3 QBR with 15 TD's and 5 picks in the playoffs. Any other dumb comments you need me to disprove?

Maybe if you narrow down your cherry picking you can eek out a valid point.

Maybe just narrow it down to the Niners game? Thats usually what you trolls do anyway.

QBs become “clutch” by getting it done in big games. That’s how Roger Staubach got the reputation for being clutch. Joe Montana was “clutch” because of how he performed in big games. Danny White and Tony Romo got the choker label because of how they performed in big games. It’s how QBs perform in the games that matter most that build their reputation. Dak’s last two playoff games against San Francisco is creating a stigma for him.

Romo had to win a game 3 times because the D was so bad.

Bottom line is its much easier to be clutch when the team around you is great.

QB market is insane for a reason.

You lose the locker room wasting other players careers kicking decent bus drivers to the curb for crap shoot rookies. Its a team game...not only QB. Blame the coaching staff for putting the game on the QB's shoulder and not the teams.

No GM is following any of what these message boards are crying for....kicking bus drivers to the curb or stiffing them on money. There is a reason for it that anti-bus driver crowd refuse to talk about. Philly might be giving other GM's something to think about...but their team is stacked and they let their QB run with the ball.

Cowboys should use a draft pick on a QB in like round 3 every once in a while but dont...I dont like that. I understand their position of most QB's being bust so why waste 1st, 2nd or 3rd round pick on what most likely will be a bust when you can get a stud defensive player that is sure fire or a sure fire player at another position with low risk of bust compared to QB.

Its a team game...the League should fix the QB pay issue if everyone is going to cry about it. GM's dont want their average QB they invested time and money in to walk to another team so prices skyrocket. QB's are hard to find. It is what it is.

If the qb has to carry the team then the team isnt good enough.

If you don't have at least a average, accurate arm , good vision, and a heavy dose of self confidence you're going g to be discovered. Many QBs end up here, there's no reverse gear.

This sounds like once teams got a hold of analytics Dak was exposed.
