You think Jimmy G is better than Dak? For all the praise Stafford gets, he has never won a playoff game and also leads the league in interceptions since November.
Jimmy G is a full 1.1 YPA better than Dak so yes
Jimmy G has also taken a team to the SB and damn near won it
I think this is an interesting talking point. I went back and looked at Jimmy G's numbers and they are very similar to Dak. If you just look at rating, they are almost identical for their career - 98.7 v 98.9.
However, when you dive into the numbers more, there's some pretty stark differences.
First, Jimmy's playoff numbers are significantly lower than Dak - 75.9 rating v 95.7 for Dak
Dak's TD ratio is sig higher than Jimmy so Dak 'makes more plays' in the passing game. 148 v 73 TDs.
Dak has the added dimension of being a running threat.
Jimmy's best year, and the year they went to the SB, they had the #2 defense in the league. Jimmy was good that year, but again, his stats weren't great in the playoffs.
Jimmy has not gotten them back in the playoffs the last two years and the team spent a first round draft pick on a QB.
I think any real objective dive into Jimmy shows that he had a pretty short lived good run, but has been pretty Meh the last couple of years and the franchise is looking to move on.
