But I think you are saying what many fans are saying. Dak isn't elite. He's not great. He's good. He needs great WRs and a good OL to succeed. There are some in this thread who would deny this and call Dak one of the 5-7 best QBs in football. He's most certainly not in the grouping at this point.
So, after 7 years, it all boils down to 1 game?
He had 15 interceptions which tied for the NFL lead and he played 3-5 less games than the next QBs on list . He is absolutely in Eli territory . look I loved Dak but he’s way to erratic at this point . The team found a different way to win when he was out by becoming a run first team If we have any hope Monday I hope we get back to that .
Rush will never be a starter in the NFL.
Yah, how did he choke? Let hear this one.
Not just a run first team but it also became a "we will not give up more than 20 points team." Let's not leave that out. Of course we cannot swear that the offense will score more than 20 but if the defense can get back to holding teams to less than 20 I will take my chances that we can get to at least that. But not if we play like we did last Sunday. That can't happen again. Still I don't dwell on the 15 interceptions because of how many of them were perfect passes that receivers popped up into the air to have them turn into INTs. Yes the ones that were brain farts on his part or simply bad throws need fixing but the 6 or 7 that hit receivers in the hands or were tipped at the line I am able to separate those from his performance. I can't for the life of me understand why that's so hard for other people.
I dunno man.. This offensive line has not been "great" since Fredbeard got sick.. and the offense has continued to be one of the best in the league. Not saying having a great line won't help.. but there's more to it than that.
Ill even say they havent been quite the same since we lost Leary. Then losing fredbeard hurt and the decline of Tyron. Ive been optomistic about Biadisz but he and mcgovern just seem to get pushed back in QB lap more than I like to see. Biadisz has improved this year. The premise that we have had this great line all 7 of daks years is not true.
I do think the linemen as individuals are capable. Some of the blocking schemes just look off to me. It seems like we don't utilize power blocking enough. Maybe it's because Biadasz and McGovern can't do it but there is just too much dancing going on up front for my tastes. I just know that when we have hunkered down and really punched the defense in the mouth we've generally been successful. But I get that not every matchup is going to favor going that route. I still come back to the biggest problem being that we don't get push up front and we allow leakage into the backfield. That speaks to guys not playing together enough which is a problem to be sure. And DGMS on our tight ends and receivers as blockers. Frankly other than Noah Brown they all stink.. or at best are below average. It also doesn't help that better defenses seem to just know our plays. Teams send extra people after our QB and backs with impunity. I really hope Moore has been seeing that and has a whole can o whoopass ready to open up for the playoffs where we give a look that they've been scouting all year and run something completely different from it and end up with receivers roaming free in the secondary.
Yep Our TEs have very little blocking ability.I have some hope for Ferguson but the other 2 not so much. I wish they didnt let callahans contract expire no one weve had since then were all that. I thought columbo was ok. Dont hold youre breath on Moore seeing anything but id like to be pleasantly surprised.
I can’t disagree with what you’re saying cause honestly I don’t know but the edge lied too many times and I just lost my heart for him. Heart may not be the word. Come to think of it. But whatever the emotions are. No question about the caliber of the man. And he’s with us for five or six more years.
When did we lose only because of Dak?
