He's behind a similarly resurgent QB (Ryan), The Best QB Of The Modern Era (Rodgers), and a rookie 4th rounder that has played at an all pro level (Prescott). Only thing you should be mad about is that he can't take Big Ben's spot on the AFC side because that's who he truly deserves to be ahead of.

Sorry, Dak doesn't belong on the Probowl Roster. hth

Drew Brees is having an amazing year and should feel cheated, honestly.

The Pro Bowl is dumb and also stupid and pointless besides.

Even more so after they moved it to the week before the Super Bowl instead of after.

Drew Brees is on pace for another 5,000 yard season but that's not worth as much as handing Zeke the ball 25 times per game. :iamafag:

I don't think it's cool to minimize the fact that a 4th round pick is leading a 12-2 nfl football team in his first year but yes, Brees is also very good and another person who deserves in over Stafford.

I can't possibly minimize him any more than I have.

He's a rookie QB game manager playing by behind a generational offensive line unit with an electric run game. The deck couldn't be stacked in his favor any more and he'll probably end the year with 3800 yards, 22 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions.

He's still not better that Drew Brees who will likely go 5k/40/16 with a 71% completion% and a 105 passer rating... on a team that is just dogshit and starved for talent in ways that the current Cowboy fan can only faintly remember.

Russell Wilson went 11-5 in his first season and he didn't have nearly the tools Dak has. Prescott doesn't carry the team or elevate them. His job is literally "don't gently caress up too much".

He isn't a Dilfer and you're being silly to say so. He's not Drew Brees, but he also doesn't make the mistakes Drew Brees makes. The majority of QBs in his situation would gently caress up more, period. He's playing well and yes, he's contributing to their wins, regardless of your narrative. Ask any cowboys fan (I'm not one and I wish he weren't a cowboy, but, welp). The Pro Bowl is pretty arbitrary; if you want me to say Drew Brees is a better QB, of course he is. If we're being objective, Rodgers should be ahead of Ryan who should also be behind Brees and should barely edge out Stafford. But the Pro Bowl doesn't and never has worked that way. Dak deserves recognition and he's on the most exciting team in the NFL, sorry it offends you.

Nah, Rodgers isn't having a better year than Matt Ryan.

Dak doesn't belong on that list.

If I had to guess all those comebacks hurt Staffords case than helped.

Though that isn't fair as I would blame the coaching for that.

I guess hindsight but corner is such a loving hard position to play to his level and he's only improved. After Bakh I probably would have put the money towards Casey.

Marshawn absolutely owned. Now name one other offensive player on the Seahawks who did in 2012, besides our fullback Mike Rob. Dak has an offense where the weakest starting link is, somehow, Cole Beasley. His team is so stacked Trent Dilfer could have 12 wins with it.

Other QBs make those mistakes because they have to try. Dak does not. The two games where he did have to try they lost, unsurprisingly.
