That’s the big worry with him is when his next concussion is going to come. It will likely keep him out of several games. He even contemplated retirement after last season.
Yeah, it was tough to watch. It seems like a boxers jaw.

What's pathetic is thinking some QB ranking system written by some guy named Nick Shook is validation of a player's actual value.

Of course if it fits the agenda, writers like this will have a certain group here eating out of their hands.
You would have a point except that the eyeball test confirms this guy's ranking of Dak. You really want to claim he deserves to be higher? Based on what?

13. Dak Prescott - Year 8

Cowboys fans were chirping in my mentions all weekend about how unfairly I'd treated their quarterback, and for a moment, I thought they might be right. Were Jared Goff and Geno Smith really better than Prescott through two weeks? Well, they certainly were in Week 3. At face value, Prescott's numbers were still pretty solid, but Dallas failed to piece together enough positive plays to keep up with Arizona's surprisingly productive offense. The Cowboys failed to convert on the doorstep of the end zone, turning it over on downs on fourth-and-3 from the Cardinals’ 4 because Jake Ferguson and CeeDee Lamb couldn't get open in the end zone, and safety K'Von Wallace eliminated Prescott's chance of scrambling for a touchdown. Then they failed to score a touchdown again in the red zone, settling for a field goal to briefly cut Arizona’s lead to 21-16. And finally, with Dallas desperately needing a touchdown, the Cowboys' star quarterback threw an ugly end-zone interception on a pass tossed directly to Kyzir White, the underneath defender in triple coverage. White might have been able to make that interception with his eyes closed. Prescott played well between the 20s, but Dallas' struggles in the red zone directly contributed to their loss -- and in those moments, that's where the quarterback needs to be the star.
So qb index is what we are clinging to this year?

Unless if suits their agenda. We have had dozens of stat comments...most you didnt giggle at..
I don’t go from Dak thread to Dak thread making comments, I’m neutral. This was for Tua being the best QB this particular week……and weekly rankings are pretty much useless. They are only useful for agendas and I don’t have one.

How else do we assess weekly performance?

As one who holds him accountable, i put him 14-17, middle of the pack.

the numbers are skewed because the current crop of quarterbacks are God awful once you look at the bottom half.

Truly the crappiest collection of qbs this league has seen in forever. Glorified by the media before they even achieved anything.…..Justin Fields is the Poster Boy for a Qb that the media will go through a brick wall for before ever being honest that he’s just flat sucks.
Fair assessment

I wasn't familiar with "QB Index". Turns out it is what Nick Shook calls his personal opinion. You know what they say about opinions...

That ranking means nothing to me, guys. He’s #1 ranked in leadership. That goes a long way.
Jimmy Johnson was a leader that was able to lead a team to win two super bowls. Isn't great leadership more than just having people in the locker room like you or think you are a great leader? Isn't it that there are goals and a great leader can lead his team to accomplish those goals? When people talk about leadership I want to see on the field leadership, when the team is off the leader stepping in and straightening everyone out to get them focused on the task of winning the game. I don't think we've seen that kind of leadership since the 90's

They like to flip flop when what they complain about gets proven wrong.

Example, the first couple of years they said Dak is a bus driver he doesn't have stats, once Dak started having huge numbers it turned to garbage time stats and they rather have a guy like Rush that doesn't lose games. I remember when Dak hardly turned the ball over they complained he doesn't take enough chances. Also they use to say dink and dunk and they wanted Dak to push the ball down field....... All those things they flip flop on plus many others.

Some have admitted they just hate Dak, has nothing to do with actual football talent or play.

I get complaining about the 49ers two playoff games but they criticize each pass for an agenda
