Can you imagine it coming down to the last game, Eagles have clinched and play their backups, and still beat us to knock us out of the playoffs?

Can you imagine the offseason if that happened? Holy hell, this board might meltdown.

QB rating of 93.4 is bad now? I mean come on. At minimum it was an efficient night.

But I'm not sure how you can claim the guy can't rebound when the first 8 games of the season he played great. Like those 3 games are what matter and the other 8 don't? A minimum with the return of Zeke and Tyron Smith you can expect his numbers to get much closer to what he did those first eight games than the last 4. So survive the next 2 games and you're back to that.

The bottom line is this: without Zeke, Dak looks like a 4th round draft pick. He cant currently carry the team.

So if the Falcons, Seahawks, and Lions ALL peter out and die, we get to limp into the playoffs.

Fans' opinions don't make a damn bit of difference to Jerry.

Because he keeps getting their money, regardless.

He had the benefit of a strong running game the other night and still looked like a 4th rounder. Jerry is gonna make the same mistake with him the Bills did with Tyrod Taylor.

Empty seats like they had on Thursday matter a shit-ton.

No, Jerry will make a much, much worse mistake and give him elite QB money.

Exactly. Without the pure explosiveness Zeke brings (Morris simply doesn't possess), even a strong running game wont get it. As good as Morris was, Dak still puts up meager numbers.

Unfortunately yes, I can imagine that.

Yes, 5 YPA is pretty dreadful as a matter of fact.

He made a few nice throws and I'm crossing my fingers that it's a sign that he's getting his confidence back and it's a harbinger of things to come for him.

But if we're being honest, he's looked so bad so often the past 4 weeks that I'm highly concerned that we've been seeing the real Dak, as opposed to the artificial prop we get when conditions around him are perfect.

Hopefully my fears are proven unfounded, but it's hard to deny that he's been so bad without Zeke that it's alarming.

5 YPA is bad. But he started the game dreadful and ended it much better. And 2 TD passes with no turnovers is good.

Really though we need an explosive WR or TE badly. We just get so little separation out there. And I hate how little we even attempt deep throws even against a single high safety. Like Butler dominates that shit.

He simply cant carry the load. And with Zeke, he doesnt have to.

Dak is a second year player. I think it’s about time everyone let that sink in.

He needs help, and until Thursday he wasn’t getting it from anyone but Morris. And Morris couldn’t help much once they lost leads.
