I was thinking about this.....
Dak's leading the NFL in passing, but so what? We have a losing record and we look like a train wreck. Place blame wherever you want to for our losses - and there's plenty of blame to go around - but this post is about leading the league in passing yards and how it doesn't matter....or does it?
Who's in 2nd place? Jameis Winston. That's gotten the Bucs the same record as the Cowboys. 3rd place? Rivers at 5-8.
Still, I think it matters. I don't care that many of the yards have come when games were out of hand. It still proves that Dak can sling it around with success. A coaching staff that can build a cohesive game plan doesn't have to worry about the limitations of Dak Prescott. I don't know this for sure, but I believe the current staff actively discourages Dak from running the ball. They know that if Dak goes down, any chance of winning goes down with him. Copper Rush just isn't going to get it done where Dak and the team can't. I'm okay with Dak limiting his rushes. As highly as I think of Lamar Jackson, he's still limited this week with a thigh bruise. Whether Jackson can succeed long term utilizing his legs as he has this year remains to be seen.
Before someone jumps in with Dak's INTs this year, just stop. Several were end of half and long, low percentage passes when we had a big lead. I really can't think of one pick that lead to us losing the game.
Just my thoughts.
