Everytime someone says Dak sucks, I respond with the counter argument.ย

Definitive Guide to Defending Dak to the Haters

Step 1 - Show that he is pretty good:

Daks league-wide rankings in 2016-18, 32 games played minimum

  • 8th in passer rating

  • 11th in ANY/A

  • 6th in CMP%

  • 5th in INTs

  • 7th in combined TDs

  • 2nd in wins

  • 1st in GWD

ย PFR

Step 2 - Refute "the best supporting cast ever" argument:

  1. Starting Falcons '17 through 2018 the pressure rate on Dakย DOUBLED

  2. F.O. ranked us the #28 worst pass blocking OL in 2018

  3. PFF ranked us #22 pass blocking OL in 2018, but the 27th worst at giving up sacks/pressures

  4. NFL.com rated our WR'sย DEAD LASTย at getting open in 2018, excluding Amari Cooper

  5. Zeke was #22 in facing a stacked box (25% of the time). The notion that "Dak has it easy because defenses focus on Zeke" is verifiable false.

Step 3 - Show how the above affected him:

Source 2

Step 4 - If they bring up Romo:

Prescottโ€™s stats 2016-18: 96 passer rating, 66.1% completion percentage, 67 passing touchdowns, 7.52 adjusted yards per attempt

Tony Romoโ€™s stats 2010-12: 95.7 passer rating, 66.4% completion percentage, 70 passing touchdowns, 7.57 adjusted yards per attempt

Source

Step 5 - Accolades:

  • Rookie of the Year (2016)

  • 32-16 regular season record

  • 1-2 playoff record

  • Been to Divisional Round twice

  • 2 NFC East titles

  • 2-Time Pro Bowler

  • First player in NFL history with 20+ passing TDs & 5+ rushing TDs in each of his first 3 seasons

  • 7th most winsย all timeย for a 3rd year QB

  • 5th most TDsย all timeย for a 3rd year QB

  • Highest passer rating when tied in the 4th/overtime in the past 25 years

  • Most game winning drives since entering the leagueย on the 8th fewest opportunities

Step 6 - the Meme:

Explain that you know he isnt worth $40m/yr. Thats not the point. The point is that he is a franchise QB and deserves a contract that pays him as such.

Heard an interesting stat about dem boys

That they had a historic 9-3 record in one score games...so they had one more win where they blew out the Jags, to reach their total of 10.

I knew they had a lot, but I didn't it was that much

It's pretty much impossible to do that back to back. So unless they get notably better (they haven't) history shows they would revert to the mean...
which is .500 to slightly below that in the following year.

ย 

They do have the 10th easiest schedule from certain vegas odds going for them tho.
And the eagles have the 4th easiest using the same analytics.

Schedule wise it also sets up for a waning season from Dallas...I mean how could it not?

Eagles have Seahawks, Dolphins, Giants Skins, Cowboys, Giants
Cowboys have Patriots, Bills, Bears, Rams, Eagles, Skins

ย 

Hadn't heard that stat before and was looking into vegas based odds on this stuff for SoS.

Edit: Oops forgot they added Witten, I'm totally wrongย ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Donovan "Ed Reed" Wilson at safety. #1 rated player in preseason. 3 picks in like 8 attempts.

ย 

And we upgraded at Center.
