News: Jonathan Vilma: Dak is average without Zeke or Cooper

[Manwiththeplan]

Try Aikman was nothing without Irvin and Smith.

What about Joe Montana? Without Jerry Rice, he'd be know as Joe Camel!

It is going to be interesting to see the offense operate once teams realize they have to choose between stopping the passing game or the running game against Dallas or even play us straight up.

That is where Dak has really stepped it up this year IMO - in taking advantage of defenses focusing on the run. That is why his play-action numbers are off the charts.

I think Dan Marino probably had the least star receivers of any QB i can recall. He was great even with scrubs lol

51 games played 11796 yards 66.6% 76 TDs, 27 INTs 1032 rushing yards, 19 TDs 36 wins, 18 losses
44 games played 11115 yards 63.5% 79 TDs, 30 INTs 596 rushing yards, 2 TDs 25 wins, 19 losses

Kinda obvious which one Dak is considering he's never missed a game. I'd also venture to guess Goff is the first one

 

[CATCH17]

I’m starting to think he’d be better then average if Kellen Moore is calling plays.

Yup, it's Goff, Prescott and Wentz in order.

Marino had some pretty good receivers, the Mark's brothers were no slouches

Maybe late in his career.

But he did play with Mark Duper, Mark Clayton, Nat Moore and OJ McDuffie (who surprisingly is ranked 4th all time in receiving yards for Miami)

He had OJ Mcduffie and Irving Fryer in his later years...not bad

I swear Dak is the only QB who has to dominate without any players around him in order to be accepted.

Ask Aaron Rodgers how it felt to miss 4 playoffs in a row while being heralded as the best in the game

And the use the words, Rodgers/Wentz can will their team to victory without good players. But when they lose its the team let them down, they were without their best receivers etc.

 

[JoeKing]

Vilma is conceding Dak has weapons. He is also saying if the Saints can neutralize those weapons then Dak will have to win this game on his own. This is were Vilma's assessment goes astray. 1) Dak has too many weapons to neutralize all of them. 2) Dak is capable of taking the rock to the endzone himself if all you are focused on is his weapons. So, Vilma's defensive plan has huge holes in it but I welcome the Saints to try to make it work.

 

[cowboyec]

chump change.

 

[Nova]

Put 14 defenders out there and Dak's pretty average

 

[lopey]

Yes they where good. Forget what I said lol.

 

[Carson]

Yes they where good. Forget what I said lol.

It happens! All good my friend!

 

[lopey]

Getting old forgetful now lol
