With how poorly we played as a team last night do you really think any other QB wins that game last night?

Dak is just the scapegoat for those problems just like Romo was. Dak is the easiest person for everyone to blame and while he isn't good there a bigger issues with this team. There is plenty of blame to go around and it doesn't stop at number 4.

Not going 3 and out on your first 3 drives would have helped the defense out quite a bit.

Dak needs everything around him to be perfect in order to be successful, that rarely happens vs good teams, you need your QB to make plays, not throw the ball 5 feet over the TEs head when he is wide open.

A competent QB first off isn't leading a comatose offense that puts up 0 points in the first quarter. What we needed yesterday was a QB who could spell the defense and work the offense to at least get those first downs to keep the chains moving. Instead we go 3 and out over and over again, a fumble to boot but the defense gets the ball back by creating a fumble of their own which the offense promptly then goes out and does nothing with. In a tough game you take advantage of the limited opportunities or you fail.

Yes it can make a difference. The defense can feed of momentum… happens every Sunday in the nfl.

Sometimes the qb has to win a shootout… instill confidence. Ours isn’t capable of doing that against any team in the top 15. It matters. Dak kills the positive momentum we have

Dak wasn't the only reason they lost last night but he was a big reason he lost. His first pass of the game to a wide open TE and he sails it over the guys head by 10 feet. This is Dak. When the 49ers scored on their first drive, it was important for Dallas to go down the field and answer that. Instead they spent 16 seconds going 3 and out.

Dak is not responsible for how the defense could not stop the 49ers all night. He could not stop Purdy, a 7th round draft pick, from dropping perfect passes to his receivers in stride. But he could have answered with some quality play of his own. Dak was pressing from teh moment he stepped onto the field, and it showed.

The team was in the game the first half. But you can’t overcome 3 second half INTs. Dak wet the bed last. Stop making excuses for him. It’s Not the first time. He is simply not a big game QB. He is not going to go out there and win a game against a KC or a SF with his arm. He is a game manager at best. The problem is that he has forgotten and overestimates his own ability.

When your defense allows 42 points that is a deal breaker for any QB.
When your qb only has 1 drive in the first half that gets a first down and turns the ball over 3 times, your defense is more likely to give up 42 points. Defense gave us opportunities in the first half to get back in it but the offense did nothing. D was gassed by halftime.

The quick 3 and outs led to the defense being on the field too much. We were quickly overmatched because we got behind. Keep up the pace on the offence and it's a different game.

After the opening drive TD the defense forced 2 punts and a turnover. The offence didn't capitalize on any of the first 4 possessions.

This team is as soft as a roll of Charmin.
The tone is set at the top and filters down.
This Team is terminally ill, and the only cure is a new tone at the top.
