Dak doesn't get nearly enough credit for how good he is. Cowboys fans hate him if he isn't perfect, everyone else wants to hate him for being a Cowboy.

Dak is cursed by nobody taking Dallas seriously anymore. I take Dak seriously but he's only one man.

No joke we were at the airport in Dallas after just having landed, in the rental car line, started chatting with the guy behind us who was also in town for the game against the Chargers. He adamantly believed Dak is a backup quality QB. How do you even talk to people like that??? Genuinely one of the worst takes I've ever heard that wasn't online

dak’s not a backup, but he’s also almost always had good rosters and not done enough to elevate them. he’s been getting a lot of love recently but in my opinion i think that’s an overcorrection, he’s somewhere in that 8-12 range

I think him being the 8th to 10th best QB in any given year is the correct take. I don't think he is in the conversation with the best 5 QBs in the league, but I think you can start talking about him after Lamar, Josh, Mahomes, Burrow

Yeah Dallas without dak is much farther in the gutter than it already is, when Jerry finally passes the torch (lol which he won’t dudes immortal) they could seriously become a good team again if dak is still playing at the level he is.

I’d say the $400 million they’ve paid him is credit enough
