McCarthy: Dak’s current stretch of play is comparable to some of Aaron Rodgers great stretches

no lie hes playing great since the bye week, i just hope it can stay that way, he seems to be on one heck of a groove

I would agree. The key will be will he do it in the games against the more difficult opponents. Of course, he played well against Philly in the first game, but we didn't win. So part of the challenge will be finding a way to win. That's not all on him, but for any comparison to Rodgers' great stretches, the team has to win.

If this offends you seek help. Dude has 17 Tds in 5 games. I'm not even a big Dak fan.

I mean he's dropping dimes and using his legs to extend plays the way Arod used to. If he keeps it at this level I think we can realistically say that McCarthy's statement is spot on.

If it leads to a SB win...

The West Coast offense truly does suit Dak much better than the Coryell offense he always ran before this season.

I have been kind of lukewarm on how good Dak is in prior seasons but this is different than he’s been playing. He really has been good.

The structured timing and footwork of the WCO really helps out his game. His accuracy is better… by a good bit. And he hasn’t been holding the ball nearly as much as he always did. Add in that he’s using his legs again to extend plays as well as running for first downs, and you have a much more Dangerous passing game and offense.

Sometimes in the NFL it is just about getting with the right coaching and schemes for your talent. If Dak can keep this up, the team will be a much bigger threat in the post season.

Hopefully this is our year. It’s damn hard to win a SB. Even as great as Rodgers was he was only able to do it 1 time

Granted he has been playing against mostly bad teams. Of the first 11 opponents only 2 have winning records and they they lost both games. In the last 6 games only one team has a losing record. The real Dak will back.

So what will you say when he keeps playing at this level even against the winning teams?

I was looking at the schedule to see if Dallas gets to play the Gnats 2 or 3 more times.....


Nope, they don't

What excuse will you have if he continues to play at this level against the rest of the teams on our schedule?

Do they do drug testing on coaches???

History has shown he struggles against better teams and I see no reason for this to change. Dak has beaten up on lesser teams in the past. We've seen this show before, there isn't anything unique being thrown at us.

So who will you blame if Dak can't continue his current level of play?

If that happens I will of course admit I was wrong. But I doubt I will have to. In the 9 games against bad teams the Cowboys are averaging wining 35-13. Against winning teams they average losing 17-35. Padding your stats against bad teams doesn't make you better it just shows poor sportsmanship.

He beat up the Eagles.
