What is your current faith in Dak?

[VaqueroTD]

1) What is your current faith % in Dak?
2) When did Dak make you a skeptic?
3) When did he lose you?'

For me:

1. About 5% Faith. Still think he could do something, hope he could. But not going to put ANY money on it.
2. When did I become skeptical of Dak? After that first San Fran playoff game loss when he ran the ball instead of throwing it, and single-handedly lost the end of the game. What??? That was my first indication something isn't right in his head when it's a clutch game. Or just gets too tight. The Tampa Playoffs domination the next year, and his MVP-esque season last year renewed my hope.
3. When did he basically lose me? When the lights shined again last year in Playoffs. I know the defense flunked, and just about everyone on the team too, but damn.. that guy is paid the big money to be the leader and get them straight. And I still think he has some type of mental block in the big games.

For some of you the answer may be he hasn't lost you, and that's fine. But seems like most people on this board have gone from 'cautiously optimistic' to 'when pigs fly.' LOL

And... I hope he proves me wrong, wins it all this year or even with a new team if that happens. Always wish the best for these guys but just being real.

0% faith in Dak. Man needs a team that is stacked and it won't happen with him being paid a quarter of the cap.

After he got injured and wasnt allowed to do his trademark running that made him a good standout QB

He may suck. But please stop acting like this front office would add players if not for his salary. He was on a rookie deal and they did not add players.

Good one. That's why I renewed hope last year. He was running again AND seems like first time I've ever seen him win that many games, play well, without much of a running game all year, and to be frank, not much of a protection game either later in the year. Sort of like those mid-Romo years before the Tyron/TFred/Zack/DeMarco team came onboard. Hadn't seen him shoulder the load like that yet, so he definitely grew as a QB.

While Dak certainly plays a part(most important player part) in all this he however is not the main problem. Starts with Jerry and Stephen

1) Currently have no faith in Dak. Plays a major factor in our post season struggles. Outside of the Bucs game has been atrocious.

2) SF games

3) Last SF game.

Always said from day one he was the product of the talent around him however in the earlier years said he was good enough to drive the bus straight. However over the past couple years I have no faith in him. Hes been disgustly bad in the post season not even keeping us in games .Not worth the contract and we need a new start

 

[_sturt_]

1. Current faith... faith that he will... what??? ... and, this is also important... as compared to who???

2. Skeptic that he will... what???

3. Define "lose." (I don't think there's a definition where I qualify, but until I get some specificity there, I can't say for sure.)

Faith?
Began seeing warts in season 2 as Linehan began leaving him in pocket. He immediately began throwing behind receivers crossing.
No faith after injury, in which he clearly never fully recovered both mentally and physically.

He is the right QB for a team to win the Super Bowl. All 3 questions. Let you decide what that means - salary cap implications, mobility, clutch, leader, etc....

I started losing faith in him in those SF playoff games. After last year's playoff game, I'm done with him.

1. 0%. "Some people can't make a six inch putt with everything on the line. There's nothing you can do but remove them from the program." - Jimmy Johnson

2. My first skepticism was seeing how he simply looked below average during Zeke's suspension. That was eye-opening. But my skepticism deepened after I saw the deer in headlights performance in the playoffs last year against SF.

3. I was at 5% going into the SF game this year and afterwards I've been at -25%. I liken it to your child being in the 10th grade and bringing home failing grades and it finally dawning on you that they are not Mensa material.

Hard not to have faith after the great year he had with McCarthy running the offense.

LOL If he wins the SB this year, you may be the only one left who can say "I told you so."

 

[starfan1]

Whats my faith in the Team? bout 30% when did the team make me a skeptic? about 2011 The team has never lost me I enjoy the ride as im not SB or bust. As much as some want to make it about the QB its not. Its about skelator

 

[rambo2]

It would be so awesome if they won the Super Bowl. I expect Dak to have another great year regardless.

I consider faith a form of desperation. You don't need faith where you have evidence or results...or you don't require as much of it. Dak's regular season results have nothing to do with his performance in do-or-die playoff games. When you have to believe he can do something he's not done before...this is where faith comes in. I don't want desperate hope...

1. 0% in the playoffs
2. 2021 wildcard loss to the 49ers. He absolutely lost that game.
3. He does the same thing every playoffs and he can’t mentally take being the QB of the Dallas Cowboys.

 

[shabazz]

.....my problem was them paying him as an ELITE Qb instead of just a good qb.

And that's more about the FO than about Rayne.

Things could have gone very differently if he was paid commensurate with his ability and we could have waded much deeper in the FA pool

 

[jwitten82]

I have no faith in him in the playoffs. This last playoff game sealed it for me, 3 bad playoff games a row by Dak
