Let's give Dak his dues

[Chasing6]

As soon as I start trusting Dak, he lets me down

I'll hold off on the roses.

But he has been good lately

You can safely trust him until December.

 

[noshame]

Dak played well again today.
However again this week we faced a defense whose DBs didn't even know who to cover. Much less had skills.
But he played a solid game (minus 2 bonehead throws)
That said, I'll wait until the seasons end before I break out the anointing oil.
But the cheerleaders certainly have the right to crow again this week and I hope as a fan they continue all season!

He's elevating his game

Against below .500 teams.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Another DOG with diff flees coming next Sunday and yes Dak will be great again!!!!
Haven't you guys grown tired of seeing the same dream over and over?????
Jerry you lucky dog you!!!!

Dak's numbers for the past three games are 89-110-1082YDS -11TDS-2 INT for a passer rating of 133.42. He completed 80.9% of his passes over those three games.

This is only the 4th time in NFL history where a three game streak produced at least 3TD's per game and 300 yards per game with an overall rating of over 133. The other three QB's were Tom Brady, Patrick Mahomes and Peyton Manning

Impressive performance last night even considering it was against the Giants. This is the kind of play we need in the playoffs to make a run. Hopefully Cooks had his breakout game. Can they keep it going is the big question.

He also played well against Philly last week. It takes a team effort to win. You can’t just pin every loss on him.

that is why this fanbase or a % of it is deemed so dumb they don’t understand it takes a team

If it’s a loss then it’s the QBs fault which is so simplistic and doesn’t tell the whole story

 

[starfan1]

Got to see this in the 'offs especially against Philly/49ers

If either of these opponents show up with their best game and the cowboys do as well it’s going to be a tall task for the cowboys

They are simply not constructed as well as those 2 teams. I think they match up better against Philly but the cowboys will need a big turnover at the right time to help propel them

Dak will need to play at this level and the trenches will need to as well

The important games we have lost against quality opponents are in large part because we got our butts kicked in the trenches with the possible exception of last years playoff exit

1 - I won't get truly optimistic after beating a tirefire like the NYG;

that said,

2 - Dak is making some throws in a constant basis that we have never seen him do. And this can spark some hope.

I'll keep the wait and see approach.

The fun thing is, when they lose the Daksters always find some excuse for Daks performance but when they win it's of course him who did it. It was the 2023 Giants we played against this weekend and we haven't won against the big boys yet. Nothing has changed for me. I'm gonna wait until January to make up my mind about this team. I gave Dak dues against the Rams. This game was more of a training excercise though and he still needed two quarters to get going.

Hopefully December 11th, 17,th and 24th will show us a play off ready team and QB.

Cudos to Cooks and Lamb though. But still... Giants and their injury ridden offense weren't about to put up much of a fight.

 

[DuncanIso]

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.

Because he is terrible in big games. i.e. Playoffs. Especially 49ers.

We’ve beaten up most of the scrub teams. (Cards anyone?)

Unless he wins a SB, he is going to be a June cut.

 

[GINeric]

Against below .500 teams.

So why didn't the Bills, 49ers and Dolphins put up the same production that our Dak led offense did vs the Giants?

As a matter of fact, Josh Allen and the Bills only scored 14 points vs the Giants. Care to explain this??

(insert goal post moving and excuses here)

 

[jterrell]

None of this is NEW. Dak has been having amazing stretches then when the TEAM isn't good enough the low IQ fan base and look at me media blame him solely for those woes.

Then he gets injured and plays through it as a base level starter and it turns into "he sucks".

Dak is not good versus SF. That is true. He is middling because SF uses a nasty DL and great zone play behind that. You need an offense to create the zone beaters and our offense is about beating a man and taking the matchup the defense gives you.
It is a schematic match up issue that was noted all along. The offense will need to be tweaked mightily to win that match up and it will rely upon a solid run game.

Against Philly that was 14-point game if Dak didn't play at a Pro Bowl level. Instead, we fell 6 inches short and yet the mercilessly goofy folks wanted to nit-pick his every play.

I think Dak actually threw a receiver "open" when he made the throw to Lamb on the sideline when Lamb had to come back to the ball.

 

[Rockport]

The ownership do really deserve it tho

Yes they do and I’ve given them my fair share. But I don’t go from thread to thread looking for ways to crap on the ownership like many here do. Most of them focus on the QB. One of the top QB’s in the league.

This is such ********. And what if he went out there and threw for 220yds 1 TD and 1 int? You yahoo haters would be going ballistic about how he sucked against the Giants. How about giving him a little credit for lighting up the Giants. That last sentence is not meant for you necessarily, but for others.

You are so correct.. If I lined up against Usain Bolt in the 100 meters and he beat me by 10 meters and set a world record in the process nobody would be complaining that he did it again some old dude who hadn't competed in 25 years. They'd simply give him credit for doing what he was supposed to do against an inferior opponent. Dak carved up the Giants.. just like he carved up Philly .. and the Rams and the Chargers before that.. Give the man his props.. He's ballin.. now top 3 in passer rating, QBR, completion percentage, 4th in TD passes and yards per attempt. Pretty much any metric you wanna throw out there he's killin it. The numbers back up what we're seeing with our eyes. He's playing the best ball of any QB in the league right now. And I know that must be driving the haters absolutely bonkers!! LOL!

I wish.
