You are ridiculous, NOBODY CARES ABOUT DAMN PASSING RANKINGS, that tells nothing about a damn qb when offensive philosophies skew them, you want to look at real stats look at his efficiency in 2016, his td to int rate, his completion rate, his overall qb rate in 2017. what freaking jump passes are you talking about, that just shows your ignorance, Rivers throws side arm, who freaking cares. We know what we have Dak in year 3, he's a leader, can manage games to win, can make plays to win games, none of that is more clearer than his 2 minute work, so I guess it was all Emmitt and Irvin in Aikman's era too, because when they were gone Aikman was crap.
and you have to balance that with yards, pass attempts, etc. as I have repeatedly mentioned, Dak is not a big passer.
he is a game manager, expected not to Make mistakes, we don't need him to make big plays. all the stats you outlined matches with that and the total yards further cement that analysis....and the damn QB rating is absolute non-sense at times that Dak lovers use to pump him up....
Grapolo had a better rating than dan and completed 68% of his passes.....he only threw 63. Brees rating was lower, but he threw for 5000 yards.compared to Dak's 3600. which means they were passing more, going down field more and taking more risks and asking the QB to make plays on offense....dak was 23rd in pass attempts.....which tells me they didn't expect him to be the offensive focus. Brees had a lower rating than Dak, no idiot in their right mind would take Dak over Brees. same with Rodgers, Rothlisberger
Rodgers had a lower rating than Dak, but he had 150 more attempts, which is about 10 attempts per game.....which tells me they ask Rodgers to throw more and they run the offense through Rodgers.
you are pretty deaf I think. its been said including by me, that Dak has leadership skills. has desire. has heart. but his skills lack. you even say that yourself....you want to give him another 5 years to grow....I don't think he will be much better skill wise than he is now.. is been the same since his college days......not sure what your personal man crush is on Dak, given in the process you have trashed Brady, Aikman, Rodgers, Brees, Rothlisberger and other top QBs....
now, listen and listen carefully. can we win with Dak? yes. we need to surround him with very strong players, great OL, great RB, great WRs, great TE and ask him to just manage the game and he is really good at that. that would make our offense good. Give me a passing QB and with all those resources our offense would be elite.....we can't put the offense on Dak's shoulder and ask him to throw 40 times a game. when we have , we simply failed.....
and get this through you thick skull...this offense runs through Zeke. when Zeke was out, Dak went 3-3, with Zeke 6-4. this year when zeke goes over 100 total yards, we are 6-1. when he doesn't we are 1-4. everything else being the same....... its that simple.....
in your mind and other Dak lovers, if we don't stand up and shout and clap and scream from top of our lungs that Dak is great, you all get offended. you get offended and angry when we say he is a game manager and his skills are limited. you want everyone to fawn over his 24-28 for only freaking 250 yards, 30 yards below season average against Saints defense and a whopping I mean whopping 13 points.....
sorry, I just don't see what all the fuss is about......he is the QB of my favorite team...I support him. I root for him, but I also see him for what he is. with that said, there are no other QB options at this time. if there was I would drop his arse in a NY minute and not look back. for now he is all we got.
