What? If a receiver drops the ball is on the receiver. No matter who passes it.
You blame Dak for the Hendershot drop?
The QB is always going to get the blame just like he will always get the credit. Fair or not that’s the way it is. If that QB also has 2 SB wins he’s going to get a pass for stuff like that when a QB with far less playoff success isn’t going to get. Again, fair or not that’s the way it is.
It's not reality, and the fans who reduce this game to a simple tennis match between 2 QBs are the fans who don't actually understand the game. Football is as complex as it gets.
I think that what you're saying isn't quite mass perception though because right now I see media and fans crowning Tua and Tua has ZERO playoff wins. Allen and Burrow get elite labels without winning a ring. Herbert to some degree. And the Cowboys just blanked the Giants 40-0 with the offense putting up 28 and not many credit Dak.
IMO QBs get way too much blame and credit but the way its dished out isn't necessarily about past success. More so what's trending now, what's hot now, whats new. And Dallas QBs ALWAYS get too much of it. Happened with Romo, it's happening with Dak. There is bias against Dallas because everyone hates the Cowboys and that bias seeps into our own fan base a little.
Although the only person I see saying Dak played poorly against NY is BJJ who is an extreme example Dak hater.
