Too many let the defense off the hook. There have been few times the defense was the reason we won games in the last 20 years. Many many times they have lost the lead or put the team behind the 8 ball like the Green Bay game where, although Dak was not great, no way in hell we win that game with that defense. The defense has been way worse than the offense in most critical games in the last 20 years. It is time to go all in on the defense and stregthen the oline.. Big linebackers, Fat run stopping DT's. On offense: Big back, and maulers on the o-line. Go back to a run first offense like 2016 with a better defense. I wish for that.I get what you guys are saying. But to me this is a very simple & flawed way to look at it. To me this way of thinking is, only to pay the elite QB, which would mean restart with the most important position every 4 or 5 years. I cant get behind that philosophy. Remember how long it took us to get from Aikman to Romo? The idea we can just go get another top ten QB every 4 or 5 years is unrealistic to me.
Bottom line. We have a good enough QB to win. Outside very few Qbs in NFL history, the QB always needs a team to win a superbowl.
Our offense isnt the problem. Picking out a game where he didnt play his best isnt very smart. You can pick those games with Brady & others if you want as well. We want him to be the next Mahomes & if not, some of us think we will just go out & find the next Mahomes. That isnt realistic either.
If we want to win playoff games. Work on the defense. (IMHO) There have been QBs worse than Dak make it to superbowls.
Let me tell you a story.
Dak is down 15 points going into the 4th qtr against the great Aaron Rodgers led team. Dak brings the team all the way back & better yet. Only left handfuls of seconds on the clock. The Defense fails to stop Rodgers from getting into scoring range. Packers win.
1st thing we hear? Dak cant win a playoff game.
Everyone did the same shit with Romo.
He could retake a lead 3 times in the 4th qtr.
Then the defense would lose the lead everytime. Other team wins. What is the 1st thing we hear? Romo choked.
So I get what you guys are wishing for. Hell all of us would wish for that. Dont pay Dak, save money & get the elite QB. Again. Very unrealistic.
Much more realistic that we build a team around Dak (who isnt the problem) to get there. Than starting with a new QB.
So again. Just be careful for what you wish for.
Much rather have an expensive Dak, than a Cheap Quincy Carter.
