He’s what he is at this point. I was hoping that Washington game was a wake up game for him, but to go right back to his previous self the next week, it’s just disheartening.

He got paid, maybe that has something to do with it. You just never know. His character seems top notch, so I kinda doubt he’s slacking off.

I think most of it is he being too careful, although much of the tweets of All-22 I’ve seen this week show me that he’s completely misreading coverage, too.

When was the last regular season game on ABC? I first tried CBS, then NBC, then NFLN, then ESPN before I had to look up on the TV guide (not the old magazine)

Week 1 they did a simulcast on ABC & ESPN. I thought they'd do it all year but apparently it was just for weeks 1 and 18.

Same here, if it's not on Fox or CBS I just assume it's on NFLN.

It's also weird having the college guys doing the game.

Laura Rutledge. Yowzer

why don’t you consider my offer to move up to the nfl?

Laura Rutledge is not too shabby

I do remember hearing some stupid shit about his Momma hated interceptions.

He’s going to careful himself right into a first round playoff exit.

Step aside. I called dibs first

I’m not going to lie, if he’s stiff tonight and does the same next week, I’m officially on the replace his ass bandwagon.

I want to be wrong, but I would have been content paying Andy Dalton $10mil per year for a few years before I wanted to break the bank for Dak. He seems like such a good leader, but his game is just too inconsistent. Once his legs are gone, which has already begun, oh boy.

Obviously the lack of a run game is what's hurting him the most. Unfortunately there's no fixing that until the offseason.

The running game is so bad now that teams no longer have to stack the box so they can drop more defenders into coverage. Elite QBs can still operate under those conditions. Dak cannot.

The Bradley Chubb-Von Miller duo did not materialize like I thought it would.

Simp brought that up a week or two ago, and I see a lot of truth in it.

The thing I can’t get over is, do you really pay a guy all that money if he’s not that guy? If everything has to be right in order for the offense to be respectable?

I don’t like that.

A nod to Neil Smith with the home run swing? Or mocking since it w as Broncos DL who did it.

Maybe he's a big Alfred Morris fan

I don’t like that.

Neither do I. Every top 5 QB has a few sub par performances each year. But for this "slump" to last for 2 months straight is disheartening and gives you buyers remorse.

Jerruh exhausted the franchise tag as long as he financially could.

Between a rock and a hard place, signing Dak to this high dollar contract is still better than letting him go and starting from scratch.

Dak may not be $40M every week, but he’s $40M several games of the year and Most weeks Dak is closer to a $40m than being a complete bust. You can win big with this, at least.

I forgot Alfred did it as well.

You guys go to the dentist every 6 months?

Not at all.

Chubb has been a big disappointment. Great rookie year then he just regressed to mediocrity.

You guys go to the dentist every 6 months?

Yes. I pay the insurance so I might as well use it.

If hearing Maddens voice gave you the Big Game vibe, these announcers make me think this is a DII game
