What if he comes out and the offense puts up 31 points and he passes for 300 yards and 3 TDs and we lose because the defense gives up 34 including letting the opposing QB get into winning FG range in less than 20 seconds? Asking for a friend..
Depends if those are garbage time stats,,, you know this.
What if the opposing team comes out and scores and Dak plays scared...are you going to blame the D or will you criticize Dak?
Yeah people are dug in.. No matter what Dak accomplishes they will simply move the goal post to the next line..
Again YOUR false and erroneous perception. Not even remotely close to being fact. I have examined Dak's flaws ad nauseum over the years.. But I have not watched a ton of games through his career where I felt like HE was the problem. And certainly I have never watched any game where the defense gives up 40+ and thought "Gee we sure could use another quarterback." Yes Dak has had bad games.. making him exactly like every other athlete who has ever competed. But his numbers and the won-loss record of the team with him at the helm would suggest that he has more good games than bad. Even in the playoffs he has really only had two games that I would consider to be "bad." Both coming against the 49ers... in '21 and '22. He was great against the Packers in '16 and the Bucs in '22 and good against the Seahawks and Rams in '18. As for the Green Bay debacle? I am never going to call a 400 yard , 3 TD game while completing 68% a "bad" game for a QB. I will leave that sort of brain dead analysis to others.
The homers will speak of his greatness and make excuses WHEN he folds with his deer in the headlights look in big games.
You obviously hate for the sake of hating. Sad to be doing that here.
How is going 3-3-1 and still being 2-5 when it counts being right . Dak is playing well , but when the lights get bright and it really counts , let's see what happens . We have seen this movie before and every time it ends with BIG BRIGHT DOE CHOKER EYES
I disagree. The 2 SF games the D played well enough...it's just that Dak turned the ball over. In GB, the D played poorly, but Dak threw a pick 6. He's PART of the problem...and the pretending that improved defense will fix choking is wishful.
Let's examine this. The boys are 2-5 in playoffs games with Dak at qb
in the 5 losses Dak played poorly in 2,
3 if you want to count the gb game (3tds 2int 403 yds 89.8 rating)
now look at how the defense has played those games. they played well in 1/5 playoff games.
I'm not pretending it's problem, it is.
Oh, the irony is lost on so many.
Dak has the stats. He is a stat padder who, through his first 9 season, melts in the big moments and can't get his team over the top. I get it. But, let's say he figures out how to play his best football in the big moments and leads Dallas to a super bowl in the next few years. Then he's got a ring , a signature win, and stats. He at least gets a spot in our ROH and if he can put together a some memorable playoff football, maybe HOF down the road.
Fair enough. But objectively he's had MORE THAN ENOUGH CHANCES to prove this. The avg life span of a QB is 3-4 years - at best. By that measure, he's had 3 QB lifetimes - and counting - to prove himself. Until proven otherwise, he's exactly as you described in your 2nd sentence and there's no real way to defend him getting MORE TIME to be a regular season QB but a big-game/postseason dud.
Where do you get this? Maybe crap QBs only last 3-4 years but quick name a good QB who has been out of the league in 4 years barring injury? A good QB is worth his weight in gold pressed latinum! Teams hang onto them for dear life because they are by far the hardest position in all of sports to find a great one at. Go ahead and name me a good QB that was out of the league in under 5 years.. Even fast starters who flame out quickly get opportunity after opportunity because there is always some coach out there who believe they can recapture the magic.. see RG3, Wentz.. just to name a couple. Hell how many shots has Cousins gotten? Though I think his window may finally have closed. Tyrod Taylor who can only be generously described as "average" is in like his 15th season and probably on his 14th team.
You are changing the argument - and its context - to be Dak-friendly...as usual.
The fact his career has lasted this long tells you he is not an "average QB". He's going to be a 11-15 year starter in this league if he stays healthy. Elway didn't close the deal until the very end of his career. He didn't win anything until his 15th season.
The fact that Jerry is holding on tells you this? So we should go out and get Kirk Cousins or Joe Flacco next year? No, you are making inferences off of longevity...a useless stat when talking about the effectiveness of a QB and the possibility of a SB. You guys are in love with Dak...and that makes objective analysis impossible for yall.
They’ll still blame Dak guranteed. The offense may have 1 3 and out and they’ll point to that as the reason they lost.
