For most of the season we all thought it might be their year. Obviously the run defense failed them in the playoffs and Dak failed them in the playoffs.
For anyone that says they didn’t think they had a good shot last season is lying. It was the last time I ever drink the cool aid while Dak is the QB of the team and Jerry is the owner. Of course I reserve the right to have a helping of crow if they were to actually win the SB.
Dak has just always put up empty stats. When the game is on the line and a play needs to be made, he just doesn’t come through enough. But to be fair, most QBs probably aren’t it either. The problem with having a guy like dak is he needs a ton of support around him to succeed, so giving him ginormous contracts just kinda cripple the franchise and put a lot more stress on the drafting.
I think the cowboys struck gold getting this guy with a mid round pick, but the window was those first 4 years when he was still on his rookie contract, maybe the next couple as well depending on how the contracts are structured.
This last 2 playoff games against the Niners did it for me. I understand that the defense failed them but Dak did not play well at all. He showed a lot of “lack of poise”. I don’t know if Dak was exhausted (even though it was early in the game) or if he just folded under the pressure of the moment. Either way it was not good and not what you want to see from your franchise QB. It reminded me of Donovan McNabb’s performance in the SB.
Looking back at Dak’s career he does get a ton of empty stats. He’s either putting up huge numbers against bad teams or he’s putting up big numbers after a team has gone into its prevent defense.
Not good because mcnabb was literally drunk in the Super Bowl.lol
