I'm very happy with his play over the last 4 games. Hopefully he keeps it up!! 

My best guess is that he's becoming more comfortable with the new Offense.

Cowboys fans, particularly Dak fans, were blaming Kellen Moore Dak's struggles and holding Dak back. I was telling them Dak was problem, not Kellen.

That's great and all, but on the year so far:

150 - 215 (69.8%) - 1774 yards - 10 TDs - 4 INTs - 102.4 passer rating + 86 - 322 - 8 TDs rushing 

Also 5 fumbles (3 lost) and sacked 21 times ------- 65.6 QBR

2021	23	PHI	QB	1	15	15	265	432	3144	11	22	2	22	5.4%	57	14.0%	319	78.2%

So even without cherry-picking the best games, he's having a pretty darn good season so far. I'd like to see him cut that sack percentage (8.9%) down a couple points and get that on target% back up in that 78% range he hovered around for the previous 3 seasons. We've had a lot of revolving pieces at WR and TE this season with the injuries, so a drop (OnTgt%)  isn't really unexpected. 

Everybody sees that he's been protecting the ball better the last month and even managed to keep a couple bad snaps the last couple weeks from turning into negative plays. He also surprised me with that pass to Smith a couple weeks ago that traveled 60 air yards. Previously his max air yard passes have been in the 55ish range and I thought that was his limit.

Yes agreed on overall a solid season all around and not just the past 4 games (I was simply posting something I found on line ... I didn't create that).

I wasn't trying to argue with you. I just wanted to add my perspective. Before the bye, many people were posting statements that went something like this:

"Since game 12 of last season, Hurts ..." 

I argued against those cherry-picked, negative narratives on the basis that it is no longer 2023. It's a different season and this is a different team. While those types of narratives can highlight a trend, I just feel it's important to keep seasons separated from other seasons. I also believe when highlighting a trend during the current season that we should not isolate them necessarily from the rest of the current season.

Anyway, I apologize if my posts sometimes read as though I may be trying to argue with the post(s) I quote when I may be just trying to add to the discussion. I know you post a lot of stuff from other sources for the purpose of discussion. I, for one, appreciate that you continue to do that for the EMB.

No need to apologize ... I can assure you I didn't take anything as being argumentative.

You are right stats can be chopped and changed to suit a narrative and to support an argument. But as you also say they can be used to highlight a trend… And I think with this team actually 2024 was starting to look like a carry over from 2023. But it also looks like they have turned things around a little and handled that adversity.

And now he's hurt again with an ankle injury??!!

First of all, Siri said he was confused. Don't be so dramatic. 

These are professional football players. Everybody hurts at some point. Who cares if it was "rest" or "ankle" ? He was a FP today.

Me? Dramatic??!! 🙃
 
Try not to be such of a D-Head, word salad  boy. ^^^^
 
A QB that needs his legs to be effective, well, an ankle injury might affect that.

When is Sirianni not confused?

Rough start to the game today but ended up with the following stat line:

14/20, 258 TOTAL YARDS, 4 TOTAL TD, 1 INT, 1 FUM, 115.0 QBR

If this is what his "bad" games look like now I'll take it.  The INT wasn't even a bad pass the defender just made a ludicrously play on it.

Agreed, the fumble was tough to watch though and he was holding the ball too long in the first half.

He adjusted after HT and had an excellent finish to the game starting with the last drive of the 2nd quarter

Oh yeah also forgot to drop in there that he was dealing with this crap too and still managed to complete 70% of his passes:

Hurts is holding this team back, one read and run/take a sack. A competent QB would be under center the majority of plays.

You mean like Burrow or the last two MVP's in Jackson and Mahomes who run the majority of their plays out of shotgun?

Yeah, but he’s still making the same mistakes over and over. The stats don’t show his indecisiveness and him holding the ball too long. He was sacked 5 times in the 1st half. Most of those sacks were his fault. 

So wait in the same game where Hurts combined for four touchdowns and blew out the Cowgirls in their own home we have fans saying that he’s holding the team back? Yeah okay Officer Doofy. 😂🤣😂

Meanwhile MVP candidate Jared Goff threw five interceptions yesterday...

Jackson already has MVP in the bag he already has 24 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing. 

I agree with that but Goff was clearly in the conversation

Until we pick him off 5 times and shut him down you mean 😊.
