I am neither a Dak-Fan nor a Dak-Hater. He has his flaws and I am squarely in the camp of “show me don’t tell me” and “you need to lead us to wins in Jan”

That said— after the Pick 6– he was as dominant at the QB position as any elite QB has been this season.

And he did it all against a VERY good defense. Gotta say: I was very impressed by his ability to shake off that INT and do what he did.

Well done Dak. We need this from you if we are going to ever do anything in Jan/Feb. Props.

Early pick 6 and then did really well. Threw the ball really well. Our Defense is not well. Quinn needs to tell the DE to speed up and go back after the qb again. He slowed them down to help with the run. Rest Parsons or keep him back at LB for a while,.

I’m positive the hate Dak group will admit he played really well. Elite well.
Top 10. I didn’t see the first quarter. Was the pick 6 on him or was it deflected. I just heard that after that int he went a very long time without a incomplete pass..

If Dakota can maintain that level of play and the defense can find their groove again this team will go very deep into the post season and have what it takes to take out the rival 49ers. Just need to clean a few mental things up!

Oh no, you are a Dak hater. No slipping out of it now.

Dak plays like that all the time when they lean on him. You either dont watch or dont pay attention. Or your just another troll acting like it doensnt happen.

In 2020 before Dak got hurt he was averaging 375 passing yards per game.

...I tell ya, you won't find not one post of mine, ever dissing Dak, ever.
I've believed in this guy since he took Romos job.
He's not Brady or Mahomes, but he sets himself apart by his determination, and makes his own game.

Yes it was a good game by him. He went toe on toe with a backup QB. Thats more than you can expect from him.

He tried to get the ball to Schultz and there was a DE between them, guy jumped up high as hell and intercepted it. After game Dak said he didnt think that Sweat would be able to jump that high, misjudged his length.

I don't actually think there is a 'hate Dak' group.. I think there is just a group that sees Dak for what he is and what he is not.

I am firmly in the 'Dak is an above average bus driver that got paid way too much and makes way too many mistakes to be effective' category.

I thought he had a brilliant day yesterday.. one of those games every year where he DOES play to that 'elite' level.. BUT he also threw another really really bad interception.. that was all on him and meant that we gave the Eagles all the momentum early. He also was going up against a defence that sold out (watch the all 22 tape) to stop the run.. and I mean SOLD out to stop the run. Eagles came into this game statistically ranked as a good pass D and poor run D.. they were determined to stop the run.. and they did. That meant a lot of soft zone coverage, and Slay could not stop CeeDee running routes from the Slot all day. Moore and Dak played ELITE level to take advantage of what the D was giving up and took BIG yards. Maddox getting injured REALLY helped with this as well.. as it took away the corner coverage that had been causing Dak to hesitate in the first five offensive series.

So yesterday we saw Dak.. a bad intercept.. near perfect recovery.. AND THEN we also saw two of the dumbest QB decisions that nearly cost us the game AGAIN. The decision not to 'stay in bounds' just before the 2 minute warning.. and the decision to take the sack and lose 9 yeards when we had a chance to close out the game. These were both POOR decisions.

The reality is we then gave, yet again, an opposition offence almost 2 minutes and a time out to drive the field. Luckily tor us.. the D came up with a stop against the back up QB and we won.

I would argue (yes with a straight face) that had Hurts, Brady, Mahomes, Allen, Cousins, Rodgers.. etc etc.. been driving then perhaps we would all be sitting here lamenting another 'blown' game.

So I'm not hating on Dak.. I will gladly acknowledge that he played at a very very very very high level this game.. but those mistakes were still there and that should worry any fans that want more than just regular season wins against back up QBs when the playoff standings have already been decided.

If Mahomes, Allen or Herbert makes that 3rd and 30 throw, these fans and media would talk about greatness all week.

Dak makes that throw, and he's lucky

Nope.
But Dak is showing signs of finally contributing to the team.
