So, Dak is top 3 in the NFL in all categories. Nobody else on the list comes close to that. In fact, there is just one (Jones) who has a little higher QBR and one (Stafford) who has more TD passes, 11 vs 10.

And Dak is doing it with a patchwork O-line and 2 of his best targets injured.

The three he listed are doing it with a bunch of no names. Tampa and Dallas have a ton of injuries and the Bills have zero big time receivers.

Are they a lot worse off than Dak's situation? If they're not, then the argument still applies. Dak is ahead (or tied in one case) of both of them in 3 of 3 categories. I'd say the biggest challenge for any QB is a shaky O-line. Has anyone had more of a problem there than Dallas? If so, how much worse?

If SOS is an issue, let me know. Certainly the capability of the defenses faced should be a factor...not everything, but a factor.

Dak's ranks: 3, tied for 3, & 3
Mayfield: 4, tied for 3, & 8
Allen: 9, 7, & 6.

Jesus dude calm down. I was just saying that all three are playing good football with roster limitations.

I'm calm. I think you mistook my tone. When I asked about the other QB's challenges I was genuinely wanting to know. If, for instance one or both of them faced much more stingy defenses, that would help me understand why they are ranked higher on McCarthy's list despite the aforementioned 3 categories.

It's all good, dude.

Dak is just a tight end.
