Well Marcus, I can't help but agree with your, IMO, accurate assessment of DP. This type of defeat continues to expose him as to the QB he is, above average to good, certainly NOT GREAT.

With the weapons he has at his disposal, not scoring a single point until the 56th minute, in GARBAGE TIME, is pretty pathetic. And the trying of many to conflate the other upsets this past weekend, should not somehow negate THIS embarrassing loss to a very mediocre team AT HOME. Look at the other teams the Broncos beat this year, till this game. Bottom dwellers. Of course there will be the excuses;

Is he healthy?
Rust.
"The practice wasn't crisp".
"The timing is not down". After all it's only the EIGHTH game of the season.
The play calling.
ETC.

To DP's credit, he usually doesn't use excuses.

DP gets more media buzz than probably all other QBs. Cowboys are pushed and promoted better than any other team. They simply draw an audience better, because of their huge, very loyal, PATIENT fan base, hence the NFL and network TV will over promote the team and it's "MVP" in waiting QB.

Bottom line, a disgraceful loss. And keeping status quo with the other NFC LEAST TEAMS is no solace.
