Dak is the caliber of QB that can lead a team to a SB with a good supporting cast, specifically a really good OL and defense. History has proven this true many, many times. We have a ton of good young talent on defense and if we can bring some guys in to shore up the run defense that could be a great unit soon.
The issue in the formula is the OL. We need two new starters and maybe a third of Tyron continues to rapidly decline. I don’t think we have enough resources this off-season to address more than one of those spots with a starting quality player.
But we’re still much closer to a SB at any point in the next 5 years with Dak than without him.
History has absolutely proven the opposite.
We are one of the most talented teams in the league (all of the NFL analyst said the same yesterday in pre game broadcast),
number 1 in offense and lead the league in turnovers on defense.
Tyron in decline, he made All-Pro this year. The real deal over the questionable pro-bowl honors.
Mahomes was sacked 6 times last night and under constant pressure, yet still threw for 400+ yards and 5 TDs and a 138 passer rating, double Dak's passer rating from yesterday of 69. His defense almost equaled ours in giving up 21 points compared to our defense which gave up 23.
The difference is the QB period.
Dak has not lead us into the superbowl or even past a divisional game.
Both are 40+ million dollar QBs, just one is earning it when it counts and the other isn't.
Supporting cast my butt!
