I don’t think anybody is going to argue with Zeke being a big issue here. His contract sucks. His production has been declining. One decent run and he’s asking to be pulled. He can’t break tackles like he used to. And to top it all off, he insisted on playing on a bad ligament in a meaningless game just to get to 1k yards… And our coaching staff let him…

The issue is that our FO/coaching staff sticks with him despite having a starting caliber RB with fresh legs behind him.

And I don’t see what Zeke has to do with our QB looking like a completely inept D2 moron the minute he plays against a non divisional opponent.

Dak could only put up 9 against KC when we held them to 19

Dak had two chances to win the game against Oakland at the end

Defense held SF to 7 points in the second half (which came from Dak’s INT) and Dak couldn’t capitalize on repeat attempts to win the game

So even with Zeke being a declining player with an albatross contract, we have still been in position to win big games. And haven’t. And it’s not because Zeke was a yard short or missed a hole or fumbled the ball at a crucial time.

We literally have WR1s being disgruntled and ready to move the fukk on, our OC looking like trash, and former players calling out our trash offense and we’re supposed to think a better RB is the solution?

So do we just keep drafting RB with top 10 picks and hope that’s what Dak needs? A bigger embarrassment of riches?

Rams just won the Super Bowl with their leading rusher going for 21 whole yards. Dak would have lost by 2+ scores in that scenario and we’d be trading a 1st for Saquon right now.

At a certain point, if you’re really THE GUY, you have to elevate those around you

Dak needs those around him to elevate their own play so that he can be along for the ride and frontrun his way to 36-14 victories against the Slurs or Eagles second stringers

YDak elevated Schultz and Wilson. Both late round picks who are about to get paid. The idea that Dak can't elevate players is nonsense...the idea that dak can't get cooper the ball is also nonsense and revisionist history. The reality is dak spreads the ball around, we have multiple weapons. Sure amari don't get typical #1 numbers but Lamb didn't put up typical #2 numbers (he exceeded that) so let's stop playing stupid here.

Constantly hitting the TE on 6 yard curls is not elevating your teammates. It’s honestly pathetic. It shows how reliant he is on checkdowns and his refusal to throw the ball more than 15 yards down the field and risk ruining his precious completion %.

As far as Wilson, he gets to feast in an offense where you have plenty of other weapons occupying all sorts of attention. I would hope Wilson could do well going up against CB4s.

Amari is the second WR1 to get the boot while Dak is the QB. For as good as Lamb was to get to the Pro Bowl, he had 1 damn catch in the playoff game. Anything to say about that?

Dak routinely puts our OL in terrible spots with his refusal to be a running threat when there’s space, poor pocket presence, and sometimes he will actually just pedal into lineman and ruin the pocket that has been created.

We know damn well Dak isn’t making anything easy for the running game. Teams crowd the line and force Dak to beat them with his arm. A 49er player literally said this after the game. Embarrassing.

So who is Dak elevating? The TE who he forcefeeds because of his arm limitations and the WR4? AMAZING. GIVE HIM $200MIL MORE

You're just making excuses to trash dak. Your first point about Schultz is terrible and can easily be debunked. You say it's pathetic that he checks down so often and doesn't throw the ball down the field. Well, you're flat out wrong. Dak averages 7.5 ypa. For comparison sake, Tom Brady 7.4, mahomes 7.4, Herbert 7.5. Yea so you're wrong. To illustrate the point further. Dak Prescott had 55 throws of 20+ yards. For comparison, mahomes had 58, Herbert had 53, Allen had 51, etc..the notion that dak doesn't get the ball down the field is straight up bullshyt. Do better.

There's nothing to say about Amari and dak. They had great chemistry, at the end of the day Amari wasn't gonna get #1 production with lamb and Schultz on the roster. They both put up huge numbers. The idea that dak can't find cooper is bullshyt. He spreads the wealth. Do better.

He wasn’t throwing the ball down the field against KC and SF was he? Oh, that’s right, he was throwing it into the ground.

Go wipe your mouth off after those performances against NFC East backups.

Dak stans, y’all

B-b-b-b-but he beat Taylor Heinicke :damn:

Dak getting busy against trash divisional opponents has casuals like you ready to change your last name for him. Disgusting.

Shut up and admit you were wrong. I proved you wrong with stats to back it up. You loss. Move on. The quality of division has never been an argument and won't be. Rodgers and Brady feasted off weak completion for years. Dak is the qb for the next 4 years minimum. Quit bytching and accept it.

The quality of division has always been the argument. It’s all I ever talk about in here.

5-6

We’ve said for years that he statpads against shytty divisional opponents and in the 4th quarter against prevent defenses after playing like Alex Smith for the first 50 minutes of the game.

Now you want to ignore all of that and just look at raw numbers and stats with zero context. You’re just as bad as the Jones family.

Nobody gives a fukk if he throws for 5 TDs against the Slurs and Eagles backups if he can’t move the ball against quality opponents when it matters. Well, nobody except blind stans like you.
