You don't need elite QB play to win playoff games

[cowboys5xsbs]

Some QB stats from the divisional round. All these elite qbs and none of them put up huge numbers. You need to have a complete offense and not turn the ball over. People overrate how good you have to play to win a playoff game.

	C/ATT	YDS	AVG	TD	INT	QBR	RTG
Mahomes	16/25	177	7.1	1	0	66.3	98.2
Hurts	15/20	128	6.4	0	0	49.4	91.2
Lamar	18/25	254	10.2	2	1
Allen	16/22	127	5.8	0	0

Weather may have been a factor here too, but it's all about balance.

OP leaving out Hurts and Allens rushing numbers on purpose.

Allen had 20 yards and 2 rushing TDS.

Hurts had 70 yards and 1 rushing TD.

Don't let OP fool ya'll. QB play matters, especially when the weather is brutal.

 

[MikeyJones214]

If you don't "need" elite QB play, why exactly are we paying wak Prescott 60M a year if Rush or any other rethread can step in and "win" in the playoffs? Why?! This was obviously an apologist thread but they don't realize this star proves how expandable Dak is and how foolish it was to pay him top dollar

 

[Redline360]

Weather played a big part of those games. Then why not show running numbers...

Dumb way to make a useless point

its arguable that the difference today in the Bills game and somewhat in the Eagles games was the QB LEGS not their ARM

The weather was not that bad. It was more the Defenses simply playing better

That don't fit OP's narrative, bro.

Tougher in the playoffs coz teams generally have decent defenses.

 

[zrinkill]

But you do need a QB who does not look like a deer in the headlights in the playoffs.

Dak freezes up in the biggest of moments ....... none of these guys did.

I cannot imagine how bad dak would have played in philly today.

 

[TheCoolFan]

In today's era, you have to factor in rushing stats too. All 4 QBs are complete weapons that force defenses to account for them through the pass and on the ground.

 

[Cowboys5217]

Who are these guys trying to convince about winning in the playoffs with Dak?

It can't be us because we know what Dak is, so they must be trying to convince themselves. I guess they run it by us to see how it floats.

 

[HabsCowboysOwn]

Annnd one more attempt to absolve Wak of all responsibility, so predictable.

 

[KJJ]

All the teams in the conference title games have top QBs making elite money except for Washington who’s playing with the rookie of the year who will break the bank in a few years.

The OP trying to make a point in order to further his hidden agenda not to blame Dak for team failures.

You still need a QB who does not make stupid mistakes, choke the game and makes key plays with his arm and legs during the game. Dak comes out on the short end in all three.

You need a qb that can run and escape. Every time I see a qb run for a 1st down I'm reminded that we can't win with Dak because he can't run anymore.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

All 4 qbs today are better than Dak.

 

[buddahjoe445]

If Dak replaces any of the 8 QBs that played this week, does that team win? No way in hell. He goes 0-8. Thats the problem.

 

[cowboyec]

i just want a qb in the big spots who throws to the right colored jerseys.
and some dt's who eat people.

I can. Zero TD's in the first half. Philly up 13 to 3 at halftime. Philly now up 20 to 6 early 4th quarter Dak leads the team to it first TD of the game. They get it within one score and but Philly wins at 10 and Dakazoids blame the defense.
