So...it is insanity to be able to assess the performances, the contributions and detractions of any single player.
Yeah, it’s called having the power of discrimination and being aware of logical fallacies like false equivalences.
I give you the benefit of the doubt if it happens once or maybe twice. Romo was 2-4 in the playoffs. His 4 losses weren’t some “aww shucks things just happen” moments. In every one of Romo’s losses he could’ve played better in those games. Same goes for Dak.
Dead is dead which is my point. It’s like arguing over who’s the worst criminal? A bank robber or someone who robs the rich. Why even argue lol?
One team made a few mistakes in both halves, finished their game at the same level as the eventual Super Bowl champions and lost by four points in a game that could easily been won in the final seconds of the game. Based upon the actual game, it could be argued that team could have advanced toward a Super Bowl berth by a single game at minimum. Not win or reach the Super Bowl necessarily but compete for the opportunity.
I mean that’s fine. Maybe they should add an asterisk to the 2007 that says *lost to the eventual SB champions….maybe even get a banner for it. I just think a loss is a loss. Ugly loss or pretty loss….not sure the difference. It proved to not mean anything because to this day we still haven’t made a conference championship.
You’re not really getting it are you? Robin Hood stole from the rich to give to the poor, because the poor weren’t getting the basic necessities of life due to the unfairness of the social and economic system in the story. A bank robber steals only to enrich himself. Context always matters and that’s the point. If you think “all things are equal based on some superficial similarity” you should leave it at that and not have any discussions about it anymore. The equivalence is in that superficial similarity and that is it. Romo and Dak have similar playoff records. That will never make them similar or the same QBs.
You aren’t getting it. Robbing is robbing. Rich people deserve to be robbed because they aren’t poor lol?
Great post.
Crazy, isn't it?
The 'Truth' is that Dak's struggles are easily identifiable and aren't necessarily against good teams, they're in situations of extreme pressure when the onus is on him and we need a TD.
Remember in the one game he stepped out of bounds at the 6 inch line without even being tagged?
Of course it's possible. Jackie Smith did it. Catch the ONE throw...and it's a totally different outcome.
Quarterback is the one position on the field that can overcompensate for other positions not playing well. They get the blame for losses. It is what it is.
Yes sir...they get the majority of the glory and the blame...tis true. In a way...partially rightfully. They can almost single-handedly control the game in ways most other positions can't.
Yep. Sucks for them but they also get paid more than anyone. Comes with the territory.
That goes to show why Jimmy G had more playoff success than Dak. When you have a running game and a great defense a QB doesn’t have to play perfect. When Jimmy G had to become pass happy and do too much it got ugly. This is why the 49ers moved on from him and he got benched in Vegas. Had our defense been respectable in 2021 against SF we would have easily won that game. It was respectable against SF in 2022 but Dak played horrible. That was by far his worst playoff performance.
