Dak, if one wants to attribute the wins to him.hasn’t brought a team back from double digits, 10 and 14 points, since 2016. Those wins were against the awful Eagles (7-9) and the 49ers (2-12). He has only two wins on Dallas top 50 comeback list and it is these 2.
How is a guy considered clutch if this is the reality? When Dak threw at least 40 times last season, Dallas was 1-7 and they were winless when down at half-time. Dak has never won with his arm in reality.
As a game manager, in 2016, when the RG imposed it’s will for four quarters, wearing the defense down and Dak played careful, and Beasley wasn’t being doubled, then he could check-down his way to get in FG range to win the game. Even the Vikings win in 2016, he threw for 139 yards only and the TD he threw was when Thielen fumbled the punt and Wilber recovered and ran the ball to the Vikings 8. And on the FG winning drive, it was basically a botched 33 yard punt by the Vikings and Zeke on first ran the ball back 30 yards into the 20s, meaning FG territory and the FG put them ahead. Dak basically fumbled on a third and 1 on the last series that Zeke recovered in Dallas own territory.
That is considered one of his fourth quarter wins. That’s what one calls a bus driver.
This not beating winning teams Isn’t new and went back to his Senior Year in college. MS didn’t beat a ranked team and in all those losses, Dak’s stats were essentially stat-passing in the 4th quarter when the games were over. That’s the year he exceeded all his passing attempts by far, just like last year. He threw 3793 yards that year, 477 attempts, 81 more attempts than the previous season , 29 TDs and 5 INT, but it was nothing but stat padding against ranked teams when he played them. They were soundly beaten across the board.
