Fitz has to get a lot better as a passer to get there. There is no doubt he’s a tough ****er and great runner. But as far as a thrower and decision maker he’s not close.

True, but we could run the ball outside the QB position in 2014. By far the primary reason we had the success we did in 2015 was Dak maturing into a near elite passer by that time and putting on some incredible performances given what he had to work with. Substitute present Fitz into that position and keep everything else the same, and that season would most likely have looked very different. Probably not far removed from 2016.Quote:

I?m just happy that we have actual sports to speak of on a sports board. Not ascots and seersucker.

Fitz is a soph and junior vs dak junior and senior. ESPN QBR supports OP
All well and good, but if you are picking a team to go play this week, who you picking to play QB?Quote:

Do you think I made this to get agreement? I'm not looking for popularity. Most of the same people said we'd win 6 games max this year. I said 8 was our floor. I even challenged a "Random poster" with a bet. My opinion is Fitz is better. That's no knock on Dak he just can't do things Fitz can.Quote:

Dak never ran for 1,000 yards in a season either. Barring injury, this will be fitz?s 2nd year in a row to do it. I still like dak better at the moment, but ESPN?s non-partial QBR shows OP isn?t presenting a ridiculous argumentQuote:

Dak, had way better people to throw to. Fitz yesterday had some tight ends and ole # 20 who can't catch a cold. And Dak couldn't beat A&M and Fitz has beat them twiceQuote:
