Yes it does. The 2019 Cowboys were not a good passing offense bc Jason Garret refused to be.
Doesn't matter, making the playoffs isn't a barometer, especially not last year, and total yards isn't a metric that matters. The final 4 teams were all in the top 8 in y/a and 3 of them were in the top 4 in passer rating. They were all in the top 5 of passing EPA/play and passing success rate.
If you can throw the ball you are a contender. If you can't, you're not. It's very simple
You need a pass offense, but it’s not that simple. You treat it like it’s checkers, and it’s always far more varied than that. You also neglected to point out all the other things your team needs too.
The things the top 4 teams had that the 7 in the top 10 of pass offense who all missed the playoffs didn’t? Some of the most balanced defenses in the NFL. KC, BUF, TB, GB all top half of the league in points allowed. All top half of the league in yards allowed. They not only outscore opponents with their offense, but they make sure of it with their defensive. Unconditionally the 4 most balanced teams in the league. That’s what it takes to be a contender.
