Question for the pro-Dak fans on here?

[SteveTheCowboy]

Stating factual statistics is hate.

Lies, dam lies, and stats.

If you just use stats only....why watch the game at all? Just read the Monday morning sports page. (That's old school for ya!).

We watch the games because stats don't tell the whole story....and can actually lie....or at least mislead.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

No. That is quite literally not what I said.

You could have briefly clarified it, instead of this.

There's nothing to clarify. I didn't say that lol

Dude, you keep saying Troy’s success was only because of Emmitt. It’s stupid. How many SBs did Emmitt lead a team without Aikman? Why didn’t Emmitt lead the team to the playoffs when Babe Loft-it-berg was the QB if he was carrying those teams? All they had to do was win two games while Aikman was injured. Your shtick of denigrating one of the most efficient and stone-cold poised QBs in the playoffs is old and tiresome.

I have said from day 1. The reason the Cowboys in the 90's were so dominant was because it was a well balanced complimentary team.

They all benefited from each other and made each others jobs easier. We do not have a balanced team and it is not complimentary.

Because of that uneducated fans want to blame it all on Dak, because they don't like how much he gets paid. All they can compare it to is when we won our SB's in the 90's, with no cap and no one cared who made what. Troy did not carry that team. Neither should Dak have to carry this team.

In the salary cap era you need more than ever a competent GM. If you don't like how much money Dak makes guess what, that is a GM problem.

I keep hearing our team is built to play with a lead. That has to be the dumbest idea/concept I have ever heard off. The game starts 0-0. If we are built to play with a lead, what is supposed to happen when we are losing???

So why keep talking about Dak's stats when he has a bad game.

And Jim Kelly stunk it up in the SBs against the Cowboys.

Aikman outplayed Steve Young 2x, Jim Kelly 2x, and Brett Favre 3x in the playoffs.

Aikman was the best QB on the field which resulted in 7 playoff victories; although Young, Kelly, and Favre had better regular season stats.

Barry Sanders regular season stats including YPC (5.0) were better than Emmitt’s.

Which player (Barry or Emmitt) elevated their play in the playoffs?

Which player (Barry or Emmitt) rushed for -1 yards on 13 carries in the playoffs against the same team he rushed for 188 yards a few weeks earlier in the regular season?

Big time players play big during the playoffs.

Aikman and Emmitt were big time players.

Dak is not a big time player.

QB's don't play against QB's.

 

[Legend]

QB's don't play against QB's.

We know that.

But you can watch the game to see their performances and look at their stats after the game to see a correlation.

Aikman outplayed Steve Young 2x, Jim Kelly 2x, and Brett Favre 3x in the playoffs… The Cowboys won all 7 playoff games.

Steve Young outplayed Aikman in the 1994 NFC Championship and the Cowboys lost.

Brock Purdy outplayed Dak 2x and Jordan Love outplayed Dak 1x in the playoffs and the Cowboys lost all three playoff games.

Dak outplayed Tom Brady 1x in the playoffs and the Cowboys won.

You see a correlation? It is probably not 100% but several times the QB who played the best in the playoff game… his team won

I dunno. I don't....ask yourself.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

There's nothing to clarify. I didn't say that lol

As you will then.

I'll have to stand by my opinion then that you DID say it. The team and scheme makes dak's mistake worse...not he himself making it worse.

", that there is no margin for error because there is no scheme and no surrounding talent - so when he does make a mistake, it is always catastrophic"

Then you can't read idk what to tell you.

It literally says that Dak makes mistakes lol

I never said you said Dak doesn't make mistakes.

Now look who can't read.

 

[Mac_MaloneV1]

I never said you said Dak doesn't make mistakes.

No. I am not indicating you said that.

What you're doing is saying that I applied blame for his mistakes. I didn't.

Stop with the gotcha nonsense. You're a child.

 

[visionary]

If someone still believes Dak is a franchise QB worth 60 million they are not worth my time

I agree GM Jethro is a waste of time.

Your the one that started this 'I didn't say that" stuff.

I'm very clear here. You blamed the team and scheme for making daks mistakes worse. Dak shares in that blame by also not being able to overcome them.

This should be very simple but you are playing games about it....almost intentionally making it worse.

blah blah blah

What is your point?

He seems like a nice guy.

That the only pro I can come up with.

What you are forgetting is that the only thing that is dumb is that this team was built to play with the lead...if you haven't noticed, we are only effective on D when we can get to the QB, and you can get to the QB a heck of a lot easier when you are up on teams and force them to pass. What is supposed to happen when you are losing? Watch a game, and you will see teams that are up on us run wild, and because our owner is too dumb to fix this major issue

 

[gtdRR]

My issue is the Dak haters choose to put all their focus on the QB when this team, this franchise has much bigger issues than Dak. Did Dak have a bad game, of course, is Dak an elite QB, hell no. Would replacing him with Mahomes, Burrows, Lamar, etc. made a difference on Sunday, absolutely not!! The scheme is trash, no run game whatsoever, head coach is a joke, defense doesn't exist. Anytime we play a team that matches or has better talent than us, we get blown out the water. The games we do win, it's because our roster/talent is better. That's a coach/scheme/culture issue, not a QB issue.

So why the hell are we talking about the QB and ignoring the main problem. Our loser GM/President/Owner/Idiot/Clown decided to not do anything this offseason and then wait till the very last minute to make Dak the highest paid player in the league. Why? Why!? He could have just not signed him and let him walk, he could have signed him earlier and opened up cap space at least to sign FAs. He literally did the stupidest thing you could do and when asked honest questions about it this week, Jerruh loses his mind, and threatens jobs where he isn't even the one cutting the payroll check but here we are talking Dak. C'mon people.

Dak is the 60 million dollar CEO and leader of this football team. He sets the standard for everyone. He sets the standard for toughness. He sets the standard for preparedness. He sets the standard for commitment. He sets the standard for attention to detail.

If you pay your QB 60 million you hand him the team. Dak has zero interest in holding his team mates accountable. He has zero interest in raising the standards. He has set the standard so low what you see on the field is the end result.

He was great as a rookie who was buddy buddy with everyone. A guy on a cheap deal that would go for one read then take off.

He is turning into a complete disaster as a "franchise" guy.

Yep, couldn't have said it better myself.
