Cowboys will run away with the division. Def need to tighten up on defense thoughΒ 

They are looking like 12-5/13-4 team. With NFC looking a bit weak I'm definitely a little concerned. Impressive W today, I think Carolina D is a top 10 unit all things considered and they had their way with them.Β

I can’t even put my finger on what’s wrong either. Β The squad definitely has talent they just aren’t playing like it. Β The secondary has been abysmal so far.

Think they were reading to many clippings and talk shows pumping up their greatness. Took things for grant it.Β

Carolina was overrated coming into this game. What I thought would happen did. CAR isΒ a mediocre team. DAL would have to REALLY stumble to not win this division though.

I do tend to lean this way. It's Dallas division to lose, but I think that Carolina team, especially without CMC, wasn't the "we're legit" game some might think it was.Β

The front four isn't getting home. The secondary isn't doing anything to help get coverage sacks or stop 3rd down. Jon Bostic has allowed over 95% completion rate. You can't put your finger on it because you need more than one finger.Β

I'm half tempted to just start outright deleting any post that references QBR in this forum as if it has any merit. Joke or not. I won't, but it's basically as valuable as judges holding up scores at a Dunk Contest.

Meh you're just salty cause Jones >>> Hurts 😬

It's an interesting stat when you look at the breakdown of it, but certainly not a be all end all. I like how it takes into account whether production came in garbage time or not, air yards vs yac yards etc. It was an honest attempt at trying to quantify all the nuances of the position that passer rating just overlooks.

Lol totally agreed. That wasn't Dallas' "we've arrived" game. I want to say I'm shocked some ppl think it was, but I'm really not unfortunately.Β

QBR was the favorite stat for Romo fans, now Jones has inherit that mantle. ItΒ΄s what pressures is for Brandon Graham fans.Β

QBR is a top 5Β metric in the NFL for predicting wins and in projecting year to year success. You can hate it, but it *is*Β accurate on the larger scale. Conversely, it has some of the worst "exception to the rule" cases of any stat though.Β 

Its almost like PFF gradesΒ were they randomly say some guy who is god awful played amazing. It discredits the reputation, but overall,Β PFF (and QBR) is still fairly solid compared to alternatives.Β

I want to say I am shocked that for the 4th week in a row you are downplaying everything Dallas, but I'm really not unfortunately.Β
