PFF QB Ranking - Dak 17

[Ranching]

No, old fellow, you were defending your man crush Dak. Well, he is taken by Amber (or is it Tiffany?) and you will have to find other companionship in your room.

As to teams, me Cowboys are No. 1, followed by Liverpool FC and Newcastle United. Rage on, me teams! Bloody hell if we don't demolish Poland in the WC!!

Are you talking about soccer??

Don't drink the water if it's yellow and you'll be OK.

You can't. Dak Prescott is a QB that provides no advantage in a head to head matchup. He isn't a particularly good thrower of the ball, isn't athletic, isn't known for his mental acuity to read and diagnose defenses, isn't known to have a cannon for an arm. Most importantly he is a QB who fails when the responsibility to step up and make a play is put on his shoulders.

Let me restate. No matter what Jerry does he can't win. Period. It's been Dak. But before Dak it was Romo and so on. Mahomes wouldn't win in Dallas with Jerry. Having an elite QB being a solution to championship puzzle for cowboysbis a fantasy of Hate Dak over Dallas crowd.

Yep scoring 35 losing by 3 isn’t getting it done, 2 SB appearances don’t think anyone would complain about those results here. All in his first 5 years, it’s a new season I’m sure 10 years in and so many embarrassing losses Dak will show the world how much he has changed

Who is complaining? I said it clearly. If everything is perfect around him he gets it done. He is capable of that.

Top 3 OL
Best running back last year
Best WR group or top 3
Top 5 TE
Top defense.

He got it done.

Two years ago, rushing attack wasn't so good. Defense fell apart and they lost 6 in a row and got knocked out of first round.

Couple of years before that. Defense wasn't as dominant and he lost in superbowl.

Well, all will be proven out this season. Being ranked at 17 should provide plenty of motivation for QB1. The team did draft very well imho and the addition of a very good WR 2 should help the offense. All will be proven very soon.

PFF says their QB ranking is “based on a combination of recent performance and career trajectory”…

I don’t think Dak ranks very high in either of those categories.

My guess is that their definition of “recent” is the last two seasons based off of PFF’s comments about Mahomes. For Dak’s last two seasons, they say “a late-season collapse ended his MVP bid”…that collapse was probably the last 5 games where Dak only threw 5 TDs, had an embarrassingly low 3.1% TD percentage (for comparison sake, his TD percentage up until those last 5 games was 7.2%), where the yardage totals for those 5 games were lower than all the other games that season except 2, and where the wins were against the powerhouse Jets, Giants, and Patriots.

Add on last season’s production—PFF gave him a grade of 67.9 last year, which ranked him #43 out of 78 QBs—and they saw it as a noticeable regression from where he was during the first half of the 2023 2nd-runner-up-MVP season. Add on his injury history, future injury concerns, his salary maybe-possibly making him a cap casualty soon, and maybe even his age, and it’s not hard to see them viewing Dak’s “recent performance and career trajectory” in a rather negative light.

tl:dr version — I don’t think they gave a single flying **** about his 2nd place finish in the MVP voting 2 years ago.

It also explains why Baker Mayfield is ranked higher than Dak: 2 years younger, no recent injury concerns, noticeable improvement from 2023 to 2024, impressive postseason stats.

I wish the Cowboys had mayfield

And the likelihood of an idiot GM like Jerry Jones putting a team together good enough to win a Super Bowl quarterbacked by Dak Prescott is zero. What a waste of a roster spot. What a waste of money.

what a waste of all of our time . . . except of course for all the Homers who have been as happy as a pig in
