You keep saying this. Serious MVPs don't post games like this
C/ATT | YDS | AVG | TD | INT | SACKS | QBR | RTG |
---|
21/34 | 134 | 3.9 | 0 | 1 | 3-28 | 40.6 | 57.7 |
Or this
C/ATT | YDS | AVG | TD | INT | SACKS | QBR | RTG |
---|
14/24 | 153 | 6.4 | 1 | 3 | 3-13 | 44.3 | 51.6 |
Serious MVP candidates don't post games like that?
How about games like these?
Are these serious MVP games?
17/22 169 Yards 7.7 AVG 0 TD 1 INT 4 Sacks 79.5 RTG 12.2 QBR
22/38 236 Yards 6.2 AVG 0 TD 1 INT 4 Sacks 65.2 RTG 45.5 QBR
18/27 157 Yards 5.8 AVG 1 TD 0 INT 4 Sacks 94.2 RTG 35.8 QBR
18/32 177 Yards 5.5 AVG 1 TD 0 INT 2 Sacks 82.4 RTG 37.3 QBR
I don't see 3 INT in a game there. Huh. Weird.
So MVP consideration is based only on interceptions?
Hmmm...weird.
Not all INTs are created equal. A Hail Mary pass at the end of a half or an INT on 3rd and long that lands deep in your opponent's territory aren't costly. They can be ignored.
The interceptions Dak throws are costly, careless, reckless and game changing. 3 INTs in one game against your biggest rival when your playing for NFC supremecy is unforgivable. And Dak does it time and time again. Costly INTs when it matters most against teams the Cowboys have to beat to be true contenders.
Your stats above don't include anything with more than 1 INT. Why? What did you prove by selectively posting those? Nothing.
Dak is the reason why Dallas lost to San Francisco in the playoffs last year. He is the reason they lost to San Francisco in the regular season this year. Dak is the reason they lost to Green Bay in the playoffs last weekend. These are facts and they are not debatable.
The statement was "serious MVP's don't post games like this".
I posted VERY similar games from what seems to be the unanimous MVP this year.
Obviously, the INT's weren't similar, but almost every other stat was similar or worse than what Dak posted.
I'm not arguing that Dak was MVP worthy.
And I didn't "selectively post" those stats.
Those stats were games that were similar to the stats Dak posted (minus the INT's).
The QBR rating in almost every case was worse.
The AVG yards per attempt in almost every case was worse.
The TD's posted were equal or worse.
The sacks taken were almost always worse.
I was countering the idea that two crappy games from Dak does not make him a crappy QB or invalidate the season that he had.
And your statement, "These are facts and they are not debatable" is 1000% wrong,
Who are you to say what is or is not debatable?
I'm not a Dak apologist, but he was not the only thing wrong in Dallas last weekend, regardless of what you want to believe.
