I think he's very good. He's just never had a bad or tough year and is trying to compensate. I'm sure he'll adjust at some point. His stats alone don't tell the whole story. You can have a QB that throws 25 TDs and 10 picks without having a horrible interception that ended up costing you the game. Like he had against the Ravens. He looked like Brett Favre after a few drinks on that play. It was him trying to play hero ball and made one of the worst decisions a QB can make. It was comedy hour. Stats don't show that. That Int is the same as an int off your WRs hands in the stats. They won the game against Washington despite him, not because of him.

This is what I'm talking about. He has had success in all 3 seasons he has started. The AFC Championship game followed by two super bowl appearances. Unless your name is Tom Brady and on a team coached by Belichick, this is not something that will remain routine. He has to get used to it and adjust accordingly. Next year won't be any easier as his cap hit skyrockets.
hes top 5 in most category's this season

sorry if that seems terrible but the homer blindness to see Mahomes has slipped and jumping all over it like ants on dead bug to prop up daks season is transparent..i see it ..L I luv dak but regardless of the season hes having im still taking Mahomes over him..

the gap has closed and im not in anyway dismissing dak hes playing great but mahomes down year still top 5 in the league says hes still great,

so the ravens game that one pic that what you see how about this mahomes stat line for the game 131 passer rating lmao wow that was terrible 3 tds one pick 11.1 yards per completions i mean that just plain makes him a jag they lost by point the defense game up 36 points sound familiar? 36-35

24 31 343 11.1 3 1 0 0 131.5

dak has fumbled twice in the end zone this year , lost one more fumble then mahomes and yes 5ints is stellar but mahomes has 5 more tds , one less fumble etc mahomes also has nealy 300 yards more passing..

they are both great qbs but mahomes still has the edge..

hers the deal i get it daks playing great we are Cowboys fans but some here have been looking at Mahomes season as terrible season and they need to wake up..hes still top 5 in almost all category, yes hes more like Farve vs Dak being more like Brady with the way they play the game.

i get that but i see what i see Mahomes is very dangerous. prepare yourself..

no but 2 MVPs and b2b trips to the sb , a sb win, and 3 straight championship games because of him not despite him is why hes still élite.all in his first 3 years as a starter LOL those guys you listed is shameful attempt to lower mahomes status to somehow keep dak relative ie close the gap from dak to mahomes..Daks playing great, best year in his career but sorry he will most likely never achieve what mahomes already fid in half the years daks been playing..

get over it mahomes is not overrated hes been elite now ,this HIS so called OFF season, hes dropped to just good for few games..sorry Charlie but 25tds top 5 in yards etc etc says hes still playing well compared to the rest of the league instead of looking down on them from further up just the gap closed a bit..
Then why couldn't he win in the last super bowl? oh thats right because he needed the team and better online play.. Some people just can't see the smoke through the trees..

Is anyone afraid to say Dak is the better QB this year?

Lots of people are.. It's like lightning is going to strike them or something. Dak has outplayed Mahomes by a pretty good margin this year. There is no shame in saying that but apparently a lot people here on this site have difficulty with it.

I don't understand why you keep posting this.. Mahomes is top 5 in yards and TDs.. yes.. However he is:
15th in passer rating (Dak is #1)
19th in completion percentage (Dak is #2)
8th in TD percentage (Dak is #3)
30th in INTs (Dak is tied for 5th)
21st in INT percentage (Dak is tied for #7)
22nd in yards per attempt (Dak is #5)

So there is a QB who is top 5 in most categories in this conversation.. but it aint Patrick Mahomes..


sorry if that seems terrible but the homer blindness to see Mahomes has slipped and jumping all over it like ants on dead bug to prop up daks season is transparent..i see it ..L I luv dak but regardless of the season hes having im still taking Mahomes over him..

Mahomes has 26 total TD vs 12 total turnovers. So he's plus 14
Prescott has 21 total TD vs 8 total turnovers, plus 13
Mahomes averages 294 yards per game
Prescott averages 293 yards per game.

they are both great qbs but mahomes still has the edge..

No he's not.. see above.. I don't understand why it's so hard to admit that Dak is better right now and has been all of this season. Mahomes has work to do to get back to where he was most of last year and the year before.. Dak is already there.

Patrick Mahomes will not make a mistake against this secondary. Nobody on defense can consistently get him off his axis. He’ll be comfortable Sunday Afternoon.



The Cowboys QB will have to win with his arm to beat the Chiefs. They’ll score 42 points.

Best type of game!
So if we lose, it's automatically Daks fault. Lol

No, it's the ball boy's fault who makes minimum wage and handles the football more.......:banghead:
Just like it was Romos fault when we scored about 50 points, but still lost to Denver? OK, I get it now.....

I believe Dak has out played Mahomes so far THIS YEAR, but that's not what I said in my post.

We have seen Mahomes play at levels that Dak, and not many QBs in the history of football, has ever played at.

That's why I said that if it comes down to who has the better QB then we're in trouble, because I've not seen Dak play anywhere near the levels that we've seen Mahomes play at before. Mahomes may never reach those levels again and Dak may ascend to those same levels, but we don't know that until we see it. I can only base it off what we've seen in their careers thus far.
Try watching the games.

Umm not really, our RG alone could win us this game. Our team is much more stack than the Chiefs team. It is not even close.

As always, it will come down to the play of the 4 lines. The time the trenches give each QB will determine how it goes.

The Chiefs are a hell of a team and can beat you many ways. Will be a good challenge to see how far we have really come.

Sorry but this makes no sense. Dak was playing lights out before he got hurt last year and has actually played better this year. I think you, like many others, have gotten hypnotized by style points. A touchdown pass is a touchdown pass, whether it's thrown underhanded, left handed with eyes open or closed... it's still just 6 points. While I agree that Dak needs to play at this level for an extended period (two or three seasons) to actually be considered "better," the raw numbers say that over the last 15-16 games he has been better plain and simple. In his last 16 starts Mahomes has thrown 38 TDs and 15 INTs. In HIS last 16 starts Dak has thrown 33 TDs and 9 INTs. Dak has the better TD/INT ratio and the better differential.

You have not seen Dak play at anywhere near the levels we've seen Mahomes play? Really.. Would it surprise you to learn that Dak has at least one career game with a perfect passer rating? Mahomes doesn't have any.. Mahomes does have three career games with a passer rating above 140.. which is outstanding.. Prescott however has had 5 such games..

Mahomes 5 best games passer rating
154.9
144.4
143.2
133.4
132.0
Prescott's 5 best games
158.3 <--- the highest score possible using the formula
148.3
143.3
141.8
141.7

Maybe we should be saying we haven't seen Mahomes play at the level that we've seen from Dak Prescott..
i think they’re equal now that dak has turned super sayain

Dak has the much better Football IQ and Mahomes raw talent.

Dak, Mahomes, and Watson to me are the best 3 QBs under 30 any offensive coach can make them thrive.


Look at Herbert flaming out and Josh Allen going back to his old turnover prone self. Very few good qbs like the 2000’s.
