Dak is not elite or close to it or will ever become elite. He's only considered top 10 because the state of quarterbacks is pretty bad right now. Probably the lowest it's been in awhile.

The only elite quarterback currently in football is Mahomes. Allen is the next as he often puts the team on his shoulders however not consistent enough and will become a turnover machine trying to do to much. Burrow is a mystery at this point. Was probably the closest to mahomes at one point however his OL is bad and his defense is even worse. Great quarterback with endless talent surrounded by a terrible team overall.

Arguable imo. He always come thru in the regular season.

Pittsburgh is one of the best defenses in the league, particularly in the red zone. Cousins (500 yards last week) and Herbert couldn't move the ball on them.

And he had 2/3 of a team, including injuries to Cooks, and while the defense played well...it's a challenge to win a game without Parsons and Lawrence. I bet no general football fan predicted us to win without our top 2 defensive players. I'm seeing QBs this year lose a lot when they had injuries...like Stafford, Purdy, etc.

I'd imagine he'd be Top 6 in Mahomes Mountain this week.

That last drive was awesome.... great throw, put it where he trust Tolbert could catch it, and Tolbert caught it.
lmao...yes, but only to you.

OP isn't even serious anymore

He's going for a particular reaction at this point. Don't give it to him and he'll eventually go away


If Cooper rush had started last night he'd be talking about the defense winning this game and carrying Rush.

Dakota looked like trash last night and they know it. Highest paid player in NFL history and we're scoring on the last gasp play to get to 20 points.

That tells you something
The OP is a girl that is in love with Dak. He just has to be elite, damn it!

She won't get over the fact that he is already taken and she can't have him.

Let's give our receiver some props for running his route in the end zone and not just outside of it where he truly would have been tackled before he could have gotten into the end zone to win this game. Apparently earned a lot from Schoonmaker's huge mistake with his route running when he caught a pass from Prescott in last year's Eagle game and was tackle immediately before he could get into the end zone.

Mahomes has 6 TD's and 5 interceptions.

That's not a Moutain.

Without him, we aren't even in the game let alone winning it.

But keep worrying about the $
Actually without him these are exactly the kind of games Cooper Rush won. Just about any quarterback in the league would have beat that Steelers team last night and doing it without the drama of playing like crap for 58 minutes

Elite is thrown out way too often. Mahomes is elite. That might be it right now in the NFL at QB. McDavid is elite. Aaron Judge is elite. Jokic is elite. To me elite is a sure fire HOFer. Dak is not elite.

Lol, no. He did everything possible to lose tonight except for that last throw.

So many stupid decisions and mistakes.
That 3rd and short play. Jeez that was something.

I'm not going away but thanks anyways.

The fact that you even brought Cooper Rush into the conversation proves your lack of credibility. How do you think Cooper Rush will find a way to stand up straight after playing against this Steelers defense all game?

Steelers after 5 games have given up 14.6 points a game. Figure it out already.

They've allowed 20 points and below 4 out of 5 times. Is that league best? I can't imagine anyone else having better.

But yes, guys like BoysForLife is the first to try to explain it away.
