I'm bored, so how much better do you think Daniels is than Prescott.

Already in championship game. Already achieved so much more than the highest paid player in history.

Props to Daniels. He’d made several big boy throws.

This following comment isn’t a comparison to Daniels, but more of a Jerruh must’ve made a devil deal bitching…it’d be nice if Divisional Round we got 5 turnovers and benefit from a 12 men penalty on fourth down, instead our opponents best. Back up TE doing sideline toe drags and career-first 50+ yard FGs, ref fucked on an all timer catch, CJ Anderson/Gurley 240 yards

And a WR taking an innocuous bubble screen 60 for a TD.

Daniels is good but not as good as the hype (based on their extremely lucky season) and I can't wait to watch the dumb looks on people's faces wondering what happened when they go 9-8 next year and struggle to make the playoffs.

Daunte Culpepper made the NFCC in essentially his rookie year with prolific stats.

Rookie to Rookie I’d say they are relatively close.
Currently day Dak? Shit not even close.
Daniel composure in the pocket is amazing, and his quick release and accuracy is pretty damn good. He’s matured and shown a lot of growth this season.
Outside of injury, he’s going to rule the East for the next 8-10 years. And the owners aren’t afraid to spend money where they need it, which will probably keep him surrounded by talent.

The kid has looked good so far. But watching the over the top e-fellatio is quite amusing.

Reminiscent of skins fans with Gus Frerotte, Patrick Ramsey, Jason Campbell, and RGIII. But at least they were skins fans, I guess.

Daniels is cut from a different cloth than anyone you listed. And I hate the Skins vehemently but to deny the kid isn’t special is crazy.

It’s also hard to not be jealous of new ownership who knows what it takes to win championships, and isn’t afraid to spend money to get their team turned around.

It is fucking sickening to think how much better a first year ownership group is than the inbreds who have been doing it for 35 fuckin years.

Yep, people love giving the QB too much credit and too much blame. Kaepernick was 4 yards away from winning the SB against much tougher competition in what was effectively his rookie year (given how raw he was coming out).

He may be special, maybe not, but if they had a league average 4th down conversion % and no hail mary win this year they'd have been about 8-9.

Unless they're able to continue this ridiculous run of converting 4th downs, which is tantamount to putting money on black, they're going to be in for a very rude awakening in the years to come.

And the same thing was said about each of those guys after the one before him failed. Like I said, he's looked good. Not nearly as good as some would like you to believe, but good just the same.

But I think I'll wait another year or two before inducting him into the HOF.

I’m going to say Washington’s NFCC appearance is more due to cosmic luck than something they excelled at.

It isn’t to say it isn’t an achievement still because Jerruh’s actions seem to repel that luck.

Shit man I’m not inducting him into the HOF or anywhere else. But he’s way different than the other QBs Washington has drafted maybe outside of RGIII, and he’s able to actually use his speed and running ability in todays QB protective NFL…something RGIII didn’t have going for him.
And I’m not sure that me or anyone else here is unqualified or overqualified to look at players and say they are good or not. I’m just giving ann opinion based on watching the guy play all season.

They've done a really good job of protecting Daniels and keeping him out of harms way by consciously playing to get to 3rd and 2. It's been really pragmatic and heavily relies on screens, quick hitters, and designed runs for Daniels. They'll mix in a few deep shots a game but the majority of their offense is designed to get the ball out within 2 seconds, picking up 3-5 yards at a time.

That keeps him out of obvious passing situations where defenses can tee off and simplifies reads for him. The lynchpin of all that is being able to convert those 3rd/4th and 2's, which they've done at a historic rate.

If they can manage to continue that for years into the future they'll be in great shape, but I'm guessing we'll get a regression to the mean from next year onward and things will look very different.

Let's remember that if Mayfield hadn't botched a handoff under 0 pressure they'd likely have been one and done.

Was confused for a sec, thinking " I didn't say anything about you" then reread my post. Friggin typo. Sorry. I edited it.

I think two things are true, Daniels is better than those guys, but he and the team have also been the recipient of some very extreme luck and that team has had basically everything go their way this year.

Props to them for taking advantage of those opportunities, but this could've very easily been a 8-9 team, and I think next year they'll be much closer to that than 12 wins.

And if they didn't complete a miracle hailmary against the Bears (the BEARS ) they probably don't make the playoffs at all.

That, plus Hurts getting concussed when the game was trending towards a blowout, the Falcons kicker missing a game-winner that was dead on because it was like 2 yards short, the historic 4th down conversion %, so on and so forth.

I don't think they're a bad team, they're an average to above average team who played a ridiculously weak schedule and had a ridiculous amount of luck. Kind of like the Broncos or Falcons if you gave them the easiest schedule in the league and got 80% of the 50/50 bounces to go their way.

No problem I didn’t think it was a comment directed directly at me.

We had similar opportunity, but somehow didnt recover the 2014 Green Bay fumbled kickoff. Somehow 2016 Rodgers doesn’t fumble on a blindside sack by Jeff Heath.

Factors out of Romo or Prescott’s control but had they did go in our favor and won, we’re not projecting our failures onto the legitimacy of Daniels as much today.

Eh, I think there’s the luck you stumble in to, and there’s luck you make. They’ve benefited from both.
He also had new owners and a new GM that surrounded him with players to fill out a team to play to his strengths.
