Dak is being crucified.

Dak had plenty of talent around him this year

There's "talent", and there's "talent on paper"....Dallas has the latter. Their talent may be really good, but they are so undercut by the coaching staff and admin, it's impossible to overcome.

Their OL play is and has been atrocious (read Cowboy threads going back years; I've been very consistent on this), their play-calling gives new meaning to vanilla, and they have zero run game when it matters (see OL issues). Also, as a coaching staff, they seem to never make adjustments (another major red flag). The D was much better this year, but against good teams they were most certainly a paper tiger. For example, Diggs even with his double digit INTs still gave up the most receiving yards as a CB in coverage this year. Not great...

Again, Dak is not the problem. We saw what the Cowboys were without him last year when he broke his ankle, and some mooks like Skip Bayless thought that Andy Dalton would step in and not miss a beat and/or actually be better....yeah, we saw how that shit worked out, lol.

Dak is an elite QB in the NFL, but even elite QB's can't overcome everything. As I said earlier in the thread, Dak isn't super human. Arron Rogers has missed the playoffs before. Brady got smoked at home his last playoff game in NE. When was the last time Russ Wilson won a playoff game (pretty sure the last one he played in was in a loss to.....who was it?.....Dak?). Deshaun Watson is diddling every masseuse on the planet, apparently. How many times did Eli miss the ****ing playoffs? Brees?

Being a good QB in the NFL is hard as shit. This all or none shit from sports media and fans is ****ing hilarious, especially with how inconsistent the criticism gets doled out (i.e., what happened to "Let Russ cook!"?).

Just look at this shit...



What's amazing is Dak narrowly avoided the sack, despite his OL collectively shitting the bed, and he was able to chunk it downfield only to have it hit off both hands of his intended receiver (could've/should've? been caught)....it was amazing he even got the throw off considering the pressure he got, though it still resulted in an incompletion and a turnover on downs...but only a handful of QBs in the whole ****ing world could even make a move like that to give his team a chance.

Again, Dak isn't the ****ing problem.
