1. Dak is a very good QB.
2. One bad game against a top flight defense without his All Pro LT and his All Pro RB don't change that.
3. Even great QBs throw interceptions when their team is way behind and they are forced to make something happen. See: Tony Romo.
4. This team is very talented. But you can't lose half of your best players, at important positions, and expect the same results.
5. Just as in Tony Romo's era, this team is the victim of: 1. injuries 2. bad coaching 3. up and down defense. (And I'll add a fourth: some terrible reffing. I hate to go there, but it's been unreal and deserves a mention.)

Seeing all this Dak hate makes me sick. Dude has been fantastic and is all class, hard work, character and talent. Everyone ready to throw him under the bus because of one bad game is just asinine.
I’ve learn to ignore the knee jerk posters.

Right but saying he sucks and is not the answer is what we are seeing on this board.

Knee Jerkers who dont understand the game.
I think a bit of that is because of the excessive hype from last year. It'll blow over once he gets some seasoning.

The funny thing is several posters who are critiquing Dak are being called knee jerkers after these two games when in reality, they've been critical of Dak's accuracy issues since he started. A lot of us saw the issues last season and through a great supporting cast and some luck, the issues got swept under the rug.

Dak is a great athlete, a solid passer but he is not an accurate passer or a naturally gifted passer. Accuracy rarely improves much for a player when passes are off the mark like some of his are. Just not a tool he has in his tool box. His accuracy was a knock coming out of college, it was a knock last year by those who dared to notice despite the winning, and I've seen no improvement this season. Very hard for a passer to change their mechanics and I'm sure he put in the work in the offseason and there's not been much to show from college to now. His accuracy is probably what it is.

Anybody who thinks he is a consistently NFL accurate QB doesn't watch and pay attention to the throws. The receivers bailed him out last season and Dez has broken up several interceptions this season. A receiver should not have to jump into the air on a crossing route in the NFL to catch a pass. It happens sometimes to every QB but it happens a lot with Dak. I'm not saying he's awful. He's just not the top 10 guy a lot of people think he is.

Dak is still learning. Last year didn't help his development. Everything was going well for us last year. He didn't have to carry the team and there wasn't as much pressure on him. He will learn from this and become an even better QB. We're upset because of what we are seeing Wentz and Goff are doing. We can't compare Dak to these guys. Different situations. Both had bad times last year that helped them this year. They don't have to carry their teams. IMO they both have better scheme and coaching.

Dak had a bad game.
But if we let him make plays on the Run, use are running game effectively Not only would Dak of had a better game we would have made it close or possibly even won.
Linehan's base offense is crap.

Jason it's either him or you....grow some and make the change.
