Would Dak Had Continued Playing Like Herbert Did?

[PAPPYDOG]

Oh, and let's update:

Dak - 134 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT

Mahomes - 595 yards, 7 TDs, 0 INTS.

@Ken bet me that Dak would have a better season than Mahomes, guys

Dak is a better QB than Mahomes!!!!
Hater!!!!!

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Hey, i'm not sure if you got the news but Dak is out with an injury.

Oh, and the Chiefs dropped more ints than Patty threw last night.

You Dallas Prescott fans are so easy to win bets against lol

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

That may be, but I'm more referring to the fact that this board would've been up in arms if Dak threw that interception. I doubt you'd say "That's fine, it happens" if that was Dak.

This is a Dallas Cowboys forum.

Why should we be up in arms about the Chargers QB throwing an INT?

You're right. I wouldn't say that, because I think Dak stinks.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

100%, but Dak is more than a pick 6 mistake waiting to happen. Herbert does things very few QB's can do, and the mistakes will need correcting or he will go down the road of Andrew Luck because he's taking some big hits early in his career

In fairness, I'm not sure Dak would throw an interception at the 1. He'd probably just take a sack, which would've been better than the pick 6 as a field goal would've possibly won the match for LA

As was evidenced by the 99 yard pick 6 that completely flipped momentum. If the Chargers had scored there, they'd be 2-0. Herbert made a pretty crap throw there.

Disagree 100 percent. The receiver he threw to was gassed. He stopped dead in the middle of running a slant as Herbert threw the ball. Should have been a touchdown as that receiver would have had it right on his body for a TD.

Justin Herbert is everyones darling. Kudos to him for sticking it out, but prior to that last drive he basically lost the game for them. That pick 6 was horrendous. The guy gets a free pass no matter how many mistakes he makes.

His 4th quarter meltdowns are commonplace in his young career. Heck even the announcers were giving him a pass saying how the pick was a "miscommunication". Its was point blank a horrible pass.

Hebert has absolutely EVERYTHING he could ever want now. Great Oline, pass catchers, big play back, great defense, coaching. If he doenst make the playoffs this year, its pathetic.

Personally I think they have one of the best teams in the NFL.

Mahomes did much more with less last night. Those two TD passes were all Mahomes. Although that KC defense is much better now.

I agree that they should make the playoffs but the entire AFC is loaded. The AFC West has 4 potential playoff teams. The North has the Bengals and Ravens and the East has Bills and Dolphins (who have a loaded roster but a bad QB).

The fact that you bet me that Dak would have a better season than Mahomes removes all doubt of whether or not you're clueless when it comes to anything football.

Give it up, make a new account, and start all over. You'll never live this down, Ken.

I didn't see anything extraordinary from Herbert last night.

Maybe i wasn't watching closely enough.

Prescott wouldn't play through a paper cut.

Ya, i mean, who would have thought that could be possible when he did just last year.

Just stop, it is pathetic this gloating after the first lap of a race.

 

[Echospacing]

To the original question, yes with that type of injury he would have kept playing. Pretty sure he has in the past, but can't point to it exactly. Thumb on the throwing hand is a big problem. As for Herbert, he looked very good. I'm not sure if the int was on Herbert or the TE. Dak doesn't have that kind of zip on the ball, but Dak doesn't have the same level of receivers or backs either. It's really hard to watch how this team has regressed talent wise.

No. It's pathetic that you would even make that bet with me.

Easy wins.

You're right. I wouldn't say that, because I think Dak stinks.

Because I'm calling the argument the same, and I'm pointing out the flaw in the argument. If anything, the fact that you think Dak's worse makes Herbert's interception worse imo. If Herbert is the better of the QBs (mind you, who won when the Cowboys and Chargers played last year), then he should be getting MORE criticism for that ball than Dak.

I'm going to use an English football reference as I'm also very familiar with that, and I think the comparison will help you see where I'm coming from. Let's say that there's one striker on Chelsea, and one on Manchester City (two Premier League teams). They're lining up for a penalty to potentially put their respective clubs far enough ahead to win the match. The strikers are relatively comparable, but a lot of people think the City striker is superior to that of the Chelsea striker. They both put the ball off the post, and the other team counters for a goal that flips momentum. Who gets more criticism? The Chelsea or City striker? The answer would be the City striker because he is considered the better striker. Just the same, if Dak were to get attacked here for a ball like that, then Herbert should get even more flack if he's considered the better QB.

wow

Do you think that Dak would've been afforded that answer if the shoe was on Dak's foot?

 

[31RoyW31]

I think Dak would have continued to play, but not like Herbert did.

 

[Ken]

No. It's pathetic that you would even make that bet with me.

Easy wins.

I don't remember when you introduced the injury clause to the bet, where you said it will declare the other the winner?

You said it would be off if one misses 4 games.

It's ok, it shows everyone who you are. For someone who preaches a "winners mindset", this is pathetic.

 

[Jarntt]

Who knows, but the big difference is our game was already over. I suspect if we were trying to drive downfield for a game tying TD Dak would have stayed in.

You lost me in your soccer comparison when you said "The strikers are relatively comparable". There is nobody outside of a few on this forum that believe Dak and Herbert are relatively comparable.

But by your logic everyone I think is better than Dak should never throw a bad pass. That's just unrealistic way to look at it. It happens.
