100% spot on.

And it's actually dubious whether the "haters" even believe what they say. They are blatantly obviously here to yank the Dak spewers chains. The numbers are so small, you could accurately say that no one hates Dak for anything besides football/football related.

For some very odd reason, the Dak fighters appear to get their little numnums a'roarin' by repeating Dakspew. Same tripe over and over and over.
It’s actually a little hypocritical. Because you could voice a verse it so easily.

But Dak needs the WHOLE SCHEME, both sides of the ball, to help.....that's not happening. Every team has a weakness, especially if youre paying a QB top dollar. The onus is on HIM to improve, but it's same 'ole, go behind and he'll shrink rather than lead.... if you're only getting a bus driver (for $60m), you may as well go cheap or rookie and create the help and build that Defense.....he so didnt help himself with the 4 year contract as he's really limited the chance to restructure.
Byron Jones all by himself screwed up the first playoff game. He was supposed to be such a great high jumper. But that’s Prescott’s fault. Oh, so now it’s the money,.

So you prefer to bring up 8 years ago rather than the more contemporary and pertinent situations (CAP, roster and health wise).

Of course it's about the CAP, your Mahomes and Allen are having to manage with lesser rosters.... even Lamar is going to face the same restrictions as his contract starts to kick in.....it's the basic QB conundrum.

It is possible. On paper, Hous has the best D in the NFL. However, Slowik keeps falling in love w/ those long-developing pass plays, and that gets your QB killed. The other effect is wearing out your D by not possessing the ball long enough, as well as keeping the other D fresh w/ the 3 and outs or quick drives. It's so weird and so hard to explain to casual fans how quick scoring can hurt your team. Sure, it's fine against the Giants and the Raiders, but when you get into the playoffs it's a different story. ATL lost a super bowl in 16 strictly due to scoring too quickly. By the 4th qtr, the ATL D couldnt' have stopped a Pop Warner team.

Mixon carried the ball 25 times/106 yds. Keep that up and Texans could win. Go back to that Marz-like long passing trash and KC will win, and might seriously hurt Stroud.
Plus:

Brady went w/ high flying passing attack in 07. Lost to a Defensive ball control team. And got hurt. And again in 08. Why? Too much time in the pocket = injuries.

Why do you think the Chiefs went to a short passing type game? Mahomes was the first QB to ever win the super bowl after leading the league in passing yards in 2023. And got hit relentlessly. And hurt. Played through it of course.
