there is no argument that Dak is not elite. but I don't get the constant hate neither. is he good enough to build a team around that can compete for the superbowl? yes. is Jones good enough to be able to do that. 28 years says no. he couldn't do it with Romo, Dak, Bledsoe, or anybody else. the issue is not just Dak, getting an elite QB is tough and that's why teams pay $500M to keep them when they find them. that's why they make 55M/season or more. but finding one is almost like a lottery. shouldn't we try? yes. but its a question of do we try with a QB we have who is good and not elite (this is not an argument of where he ranks) or do we just dump everything, get a top 5 pick and hope its not baker mayfield or Turbisky.....Allen was one of 4 QBs selected his year....meaning 3 failed. badly......
teams have made superbowl with non elite to average QBs. its not impossible. it happens a lot (not as much as having an elite QB), although having an elite QB is not a gaurantee neither, see rodgers who hasn't been there in 10+ years, Marino made it once, Brees once, etc.. so yes the QB carries a higher burden, but not all the burden and that's the point. does having an Elite QB give you a better chance and probability? heck yes. but how do you find one?
I have yet to hear any Dak hater answer that questions except for we should draft one? we almost drafted Lynch...glad we didn't. and like I said, top 10 is no gaurantee. so moving forward, does it seem easier or more probable to build a team around Dak (offense and defense) that can compete? or is it more probable to find an elite QB?
