I really want to know tho. Name me 5 Quarterbacks who's playing better than Dak right now. I'll give you Mahomes..... he's been excellent just his receivers has let him down yet he still maintains a solid statline despite the letdown. I'll give you Tua. You can argue Jackson and Goff, but Dak's 3rd down conversion rate is substantially superior to both's. Goff doesn't turn the ball over... I'll give him that, but still he's had 1 turnover..... Dak has had none.

But everyone else is playing worse. Burrow and Herbert are 0-2 and looks at times just not good. Allen has had 1 great game and 1 awful game. Same for Lawrence. Hurts is barely scraping by with metrics that are below average by any conceivable math. He can thank the Touchback rule.

Let them keep moving the goal posts on Dak.
They're saying he's driving the bus, but when he was putting up 400-500 yards every 2nd week from 2020-2021, they were hollow stats or who cares we're not winning...... the other 52 players on the roster not even on their minds in their evaluation of a complex team game like football.

Nick Wright is the only TV Analyst that went ALL in Pat Mahomes day one....when others were hemming and hawing about Mitch Tribusky and Deshaun Watson.

Nick Wright is the smartest, most objective and consistent analyst on TV.

So we like talking heads now? Or just the ones that are loving on Dallas and in particular, the QB.

Now, 5 QBs playing better: Jackson, Purdy, Goff, Cousins, Tua, Geno Smith, Mahomes and Stafford to me are all in the convo for playing better.
Here comes the first guy who don't know what he's talking about.

Colin takes are posted here all the time. The haters seem to like his dumb takes. I don't see what Im doing that the agenda driven haters aren't loving every time their messiah Colin opens his mouth. :rolleyes:

And no.... you're wrong on nearly all of those. The 0-2 Cousins...... The same Geno Smith who was held to 112 yards passing against the Rams with the weapons he has???? LMAO. Stafford's average passer rating is 77.4

Purdy and Dak's QBR are the same yet Dak is the one destroying his opponents despite having 1 elite target. 49ers have 4 elite weapons and the highest Purdy has passed for is 220 yards. Granted he doesn't need to do a whole lot since McCaffrey is ripping holes thru the defense. Lets say I give you Purdy tho, you're still dead wrong on half those picks. :laugh:

I watched this last night, as I got in bed. Thought, I should post this in the morning. Glad someone did, as I did not get around to it.
It was refreshing.

Daks my guy but I ask ya'll, who the heck gives 2 shiets what Nick Wright thinks and his ilk? If we need his kind to validate Dak and the team, maybe we are the ones that need help. I will say this, being snake bit and not reaching a SB in 27 years lends itself to many wanting validation from nefarious shady "tv football experts"

Daks playing great. Staying in the system. Getting ball out quickly. I want to see what he does if/when we are behind. He hasn’t have to carry offence and that’s a good thing.

Did you watch the video?
I did not because I heard and watched it live. The entire show and previous ones where Nick W has said the same things. I believe the Cowboys will be challenged very soon and we will get a look at Dak in those circumstances. If Dak plays the same as he is now, I will move him to the top few myself.

The OP asked who is playing better and I can tell how Dak is playing because the D has been dominant. I loved Dak’s game vs the Jets, and wasn’t crazy about it vs the Giants. I don’t fault him for the Giants game though. Too hard to judge in that crappy environment.

Most or all of the other QBs I’ve seen how they play when tested. That’s why I stated them as being in the convo as playing better than Dak.

I try to be cordial and will give it one more post. To suggest I don’t know what I’m taking about is laughable but I will indulge.

If the Cowboys are tested, and Dak keeps his same level of play, then I would move him to to the top few myself. I’ve seen the others who have played very well in tougher circumstances. Our great D has made it difficult for me to know where Dak is fully at but I believe those challenges are coming soon. If you like stats, then you would agree that he doesn’t have much volume to assess. No? He didn’t play great vs NY but I don’t think he should be judged on that for various reasons. He played very well against the Jets in my opinion but the defense stamped out any possible challenge or threat to the team.

Personally, my grades on QBs and I say grades very loosely, is what they do in big moments. For example, Herbert debatably has good numbers but he’s had two big moments where I thought he shrunk. And I like Herbert.

Anyway, there you go. Salud!

The thing with Herbert. LAC supposedly have all this talent on defense the past 3 years. But yet they can't make it work. They give up a lot of points as well.
They score a lot, even before KM, though last season he never had his top 2 WR's at the same time, except for maybe 1/2 of 1 game.

Kind of like the old days with this team, score, but defense can't stop anyone.
I still like Herbert as a top QB though.
