I mean...
Once again and I'll bring it up every now and again for emphasis on wins as a starter.
Cousins went 36 for 49 for over 350 and 2 TDs and no picks in a loss yesterday.
Play along and google his end of year stats for the last 5 to 8 years.
BUT when I did this yesterday I also came across an Oct 2020 article that said he was 7-31 as a starter since coming to the Vikings against winning teams.
Sound familiar?
Sooooooo...Draw your own comparisons, slice up accountability to team wins and losses anyway you want to do it. But Cousins has good stats too and is a comparable example to use against the ongoing narrative about Dak.
jmo
IL once again say that ROmos, Cousins , daks and many qbs job to move the ball and score tds or successful drives and not turn the ball over and hurt your team..
they do their jobs and lose whos that on coaching? team mistakes? bad defense.
YES YES YES
Or the other teams simply played better but how threat the QB issue
so Big Ben puts up a sub 200 yard game hardly threw and his metrics are better so hes GREAT., EF that noise his defense st ,coaching won that game , where as the former in these discussions did not..
when you have to throw in high scoring game or when your defense ST or coaches GP falls apart your stats will go down your metrics are skewed because when you become the focal point of the game and its all on your shoulders, its changes the metrics. Sitting back and having the team play well and you are just piece in the machine,. well there's your answer..
some players just have the bad luck to not be part of a great machine and they become the only party holding it together some games thats why metrcs and stats are skewed..Brady and Dak played great well enough to win dak lost, cousins played great they still lost..some proof Tannehil leaves team and the overall outlook from most ont he outside hes Jag , not an nfl top starter, he goes to better team and hes great gets paid and the titans are succeeding. This season its going to be Stafford renewed his image going form bad machine to a good one. heck we might see this from Wentz of all people..how about Winston? scapegoat to hero?
Baker would have won that game but lost it in the end but why did he need to force that at the end, his defense while great times allowed Mahomes to rip them apart and gain the lead and now it was all on the shoulder of the qb went he defense knew it last drive..he threw pick but is that all on him?
its sports its football..some games its obvious the qb lost the game like last year Seatle game dak for sure created the situation and didn't come back but giving up 14 -0 and oits on you well Dak gets the blame as he well should but when zeke fumbles twice and no defense the ol cant block well Browns game wasn't on dak..
its pretty simple watch the games form decision. dak and brady played great..
Dak lost but not on him..his ST kicker and coverages blew it the defense gave up too many big scoring plays..the DC team lost that game.
sound familiar?? in sports yes its familiar ? how about MLB a pitcher pitchers a near shutout loses 1-0 that on him how? no run support says that on the team or say he goes out with 2 run lead its 3-1 and his relivers blows the game but he gets the loss anyway..fair? nope but part of the team win and loses as team yet we as fans and media go out and cherry picks stas..if a pitcher gets bombed in the first 4 and gets pulled thats on him..his loss ..in the end over season that even out back to TEAM wins and losses..
there goat and scapegoat all throughout the season, heros and scapegoats..
