But every QB has stinkers.. Every QB throws INTs.. Every QB misses open receivers.. Since I don't expect any player to be flawless every week the occasional stinker game doesn't bother me as much as it seems to bother others. Over the course of his career Dak has had more good games than bad. That's pretty much all any of us can hope for. The ratio of good games to bad games should continue trending higher every year. If we define a good game as a passer rating over 95, a great game as above 110, an "okay game" as between 80 and 95 and anything below 80 as a bad game and anything below 60 to be "what the hell is going on here?" here is how Dak would break down the last few seasons:
2022 - 4 games above 110, 2 games between 95 - 110, 2 games between 80 - 95, 2 games between 60 - 80 and two WTH games. So that's 4 games on fire, 2 pretty good games, 2 relatively neutral games and 4 negatives.
2021 - 6 games above 110, 5 games between 95-110, 1 game between 80-95 and 2 games between 60-80 and two WTH game.
So this year his stinker rate went up a tick from one out of four to one out of three. Obviously that's heavily tied to the INTs which he had never thrown at a high rate until this year. But we already know that easily a third of his INTs hit his receivers in the hands and got bounced to the defense. So you have to understand that when evaluating Dak's play. If you refuse to do so then you reveal your agenda. Dak could not have thrown those balls any better but the end result clobbers his rating. But the bottom line is 10 phenomenal games and a total of 17 good to great games over the past two seasons out of 28 starts tells me the dude is good at his job. No matter how you slice it that is NOT a bad QB. Those numbers render that narrative patently false. You can feel free to rank Dak wherever you want among the good QBs in the league but any attempt to claim he not at least GOOD is just flappin yer gums. You don't win 70% of your games over the past two seasons being a bad QB.
