I said in another thread, look for Moore to be bold and aggressive consistently trying to push the ball downfield. I'd be shocked if we don't see an increase in 20+ yards plays.
How do you know this?Moore is a creative dude
I remember something Troy said on his Ticket show this year. The hosts asked about Dak seeming to be overly cautious and what the team could do about it, and Troy said after a couple of years, when the QB knows the offense well, then it's all about the QB's personality. Said you can have two QBs with the same coaching and same play and they'd play it two different ways depending on the QB's mentality. Dak seems to be the natural game manager type who hates mistakes ("Mom hated interceptions" etc) and I doubt that changes unless you can scheme WRs *wide* open deep.

That's my single biggest frustration with the offense. He should be used like Russell Wilson is, or was, to run for 7-8 yards and convert first downs. I have no idea why they don't do that more. I suspect the front office is overjoyed at having a decent QB and is terrified of him getting hurt.I think Dak's brand of football would be fine if he just used those legs more.

I am not surprised. the game plan for dallas for wins was always, keep the game close. minimize mistakes and cash in opprotunities in the 4th quarter. running the ball a lot in the first half was part of the plan to manage TOP and tire out the Defensive team per se..... we just didn't have the fire power to get in a shooting match......
and this doesn't mean Linehan's game planning or play calling was any good.

Because they drink the koolaid EVERY year!How do you know this?
I mean, he may be. But why do you state this as some sort of fact?
Or unless it's late in a close game, when he becomes much more aggressive.Dak seems to be the natural game manager type who hates mistakes ("Mom hated interceptions" etc) and I doubt that changes unless you can scheme WRs *wide* open deep.

It's like Sturm tweeted in the OP.That shows there exists an upside that just isn't being demonstrated enough throughout a game.
BradyI think Dak's brand of football would be fine if he just used those legs more.
That is his greatest attribute physically. He can move.
But he's constantly stuck in the pocket.
I don't know how many times this year he could've ran for a 1st and he threw the ball so it doesn't just need to come from the coaching.
But sitting in the pocket and taking sacks is something any QB can do so there is no point of having a mobile QB if he's a statue.
A Shannahan type of offense would be perfect for him.
Brady
Brees
Rivers
Mahomes
Luck
Foles
Goff
Dak
Those were the final quarterbacks left this year.
Only pocket passers win in the NFL unless you have the best defense in football.
