Having a great stretch, but have to see a signature run in the playoffs.
dak had a great game for sure today but so far in the playoffs he has been pretty below average except for the tampa win. also against teams with winning records overall in his career he has not been good at all.

Let's be fair here, and look at his season overall:


-9 games. One horrific game. 49ers.

-Not great against the Cardinals, but it's a brand new offense with early season redzone jitters that now looks like it's been fixed. Plus, we were out 3 Offensive Linemen and the defense seems to struggle against Dobbs for some reason. Misdirection plays maybe not our thing.

-Our receiving corps not considered elite besides Lamb. Cooks was barely active before this game. Ferguson hasn't done that much besides the Eagles. And Dak is still tearing

-He has no right tackle. Ok, maybe that's an exaggeration but Steele needs to improve tremendously in the next Eagles game.

-We're not known for a running game... and before today our running game is below mid tier.

-Altho he came short against the Eagles..... he was just a bad step out of bounce and a Schoonmaker half turn away from beating them. One bad step out of bounce shouldn't be what determines whether he's great or sucks.


Not sure why his haters keep degrading him, and not giving him the credit he's due. He's gonna be in most people's Top 5 this week. Only behind Stroud, Mahomes, and Hurts.
Don’t tell me what to do

He played well and kicked the Gnats butt. But I am still waiting for him to do this against better teams and in the playoffs.

DAK is carrying this offense.

Dismiss him if you want, but there is ZERO run game to rely on.

DAL has ONE 100+yd rusher all season (Pollard vs ARI)

Play action fools nobody and Pollard & Dowdle scare nobody.

It looks easier vs a team like NYG, but vs better run defenses, they'll struggle as they have all year

and DAK will have to carry the offense... and he has all year.

Dak sure disappointed me in the playoffs. And, he's had some moments this year that are head scratchers. But, anyone who doesn't include him as one of the best QB's playing right now are intentionally blind.

I'm just so incredibly tired of losing. I really am. And if Dak plays this well and we still don't go anywhere, it will impact his legacy. Ask Danny White. Ask Romo. I just want to win. He looks like he could do that. He looks like it's all clicking. But, I want to win in the post season and he hasn't done that like I feel like he could.

I'm long-term discouraged and that isn't on Dak or this current team. I'm hoping that he's can be the guy who fixes this.

The problem with putting stock in this is, Dak has had games like this in the past against weaker opponents. It’s not something new for him. It’s his consistency against stronger opponents that is still in question.

That’s ALL you haters have left. :lmao:
And homers like you only come out of hiding when he has a good game. You and the Cowboy are the most stubborn posters in this forum with your blind love, and inability to to be an objective fan of Dak/this team. Nobody is doubting he has played excellent football the last few weeks, and an objective fan will also say he needs to do this when big games are on the line. But your stubborn sense of self pleasure don't see this, and can only revert to your "hater" term to try to argue the obvious.

I expect nothing less from a hater like yourself.

Um no. Have a signature game vs a top team that equates to a win.

The problem is that you don't understand what makes a hater, and until you do, your stubborn ways will not allow you to see the light. I'd love to see how you claim one is a hater because they want to see their franchise QB play like it against a top tier team? A hater is happy when their apparent team loses...so I ask you again, how do you find one a hater and how do you define this type of fan?

I’ve stated it literally over 100 times here. People who do nothing but crap on a particular player, a coach, the ownership, the team 24x7 365.

Who doesn't consider our WR corps Elite? And Why?

These WRs are uber Talented . . . Your reasoning that they are not "Elite" is based upon their Production this year . . . But Some argue that they do not have the Numbers because of the Limitations of Dak.

I love the way Dak is playing but lets all Wait to Exhale until after Miami and Buffalo and Detroit and Philly part deux

The one thing every Cowboy Fan can admit is that Dak plays great against the Bottom Feeders

How about you stop calling out the Fan Base
