Its funny but this is a topic both the Dak supporters and detractors agree on: Dak threw into coverage a LOT last year.
The debate starts with why. IMO, this is not a Dak thing and I say this as someone who isn't a fan. Early in his career, Dak was a low INT guy. It was to the point where he got grief for it here as "Dink and Dak". He always found and took the easy throw. Any change from that was a result of change of circumstances.
I blame Moore. First off, the stupid *** draw up the middle to Zeke out of the shotgun that got 1 yard on average which he ran on first down a ridiculous percentage of the time just sets everyone up for failure. Dak was under center far more as a rookie, particularly on early downs and this gave the team more options for play action, various runs, etc. After that, they publicly said that they wanted Dak to be "more aggressive". They basically taught him to throw to his first read even if the guy was covered. We all saw many, many plays where Dak threw to a covered player while there was someone else open.
Before someone points out the stats on the offense, I'll again point out that the Cowboys defense lead the league in takeaways two years in a row. The team got a lot of early leads and short fields as a result. On a per drive basis, Dallas was 17th in yards and 17th in plays. This wasn't an offense that was flying down the field every time they got the ball nor were they sustaining drives.
