Doesn't it make sense that most QB's throw the ball or hand it off, so that would effect the average.
Zeke is basically our whole offense dudeAnyone that thinks this offense runs through anybody but Zeke is woefully wrong.....
Here is comes....the tidal wave of statistical crap...to justify this ridiculous Dak contract. Brace yourself.
To be fair, this cuts both ways.
If opposing defenses don’t key on Dak, thats foolish on their part. He gets 6 rushing TD’s a season. Plus he has an additional 2 rushing TD’s in 3 playoff games and a two point conversion in the playoffs.
If defenses aren’t trying to find a way to stop Dak’s running in the redzone. They are dumb.
Other aspects of the offense benefit from Dak’s
Ability to run. When they run a read option, Zeke has one less defender to deal with because the defensive end has to stay home and account for Dak’s ability to run off the edge. Just like his running benefits from Zeke and the OL. It’s symbiotic.
I like Prescott better than most but that stat is misleading because he doesn’t run the ball all that much. When he does defenses are not expecting it. I have been calling for more QB keepers.
Dak is very good to elite at a lot of things.
Watch the Dak-haters do mental gymnastics every time there are stats relating to Dak.
Its actually kind of entertaining to watch.
I'm going to LOVE the mental gymnastics that occur after Dak leads us to #6.
The more you call, the more defenses will game plan to shut it down. Which means, either Elliott will have to do better in the red zone or Prescott will have to do better with his arm.
In fact, they need to run him a lot more than they do in general to maximize what they are going to end paying him.
At least he has a clue...What gives you that clue?
I like turtles.
A RB running in the red zone is a planned run, and the D collapses to stop him. They are ready.
A QB running in the red zone is mostly a broken play, and often the S's and LB's have dropped back into coverage so there are often gaping holes to gallop through. Completely different situation.
Geez, can't believe I hv to explain this. And there are many on here who would've done a much better job than I.
