The reason NFL teams shy away from running quarterbacks is because they inevitably get injured, leaving their team without it's starting quarterback.
Scrambling is okay in limited instances, but when a quarterback exposes himself to tacklers, the more he gets hit, the more likely he is to be injured.
Michael Vick is the classic example, but Carson Wentz is more recent.
Lamar Jackson is tempting fate, and the Ravens will be done if he goes down.
There is no other point to this thread than to remind fans of this fact.

Dak is built like a fullback and doesn’t run much outside of goal line situations. He’s low risk except for the freak accident that we saw.

Besides that, he’s proven to be a more than decent pocket passer and doesn’t need to use his legs to make plays like a good number of these hotshot QBs in the top-10. Dak is going to have a long, productive career in this league.

What is your opinion on the inevitability of teams being unable to long term protect traditional pocket passers?

My point is teams don't just draft QBs with the ability to run because they can run. They also hedge against less talented Oline's and RBs.

your opinion is nice but only glaring in a vacuum. The Era you long for is gone. QBs have to effective at both regardless of injury factor

If starting quarterbacks become expendable, the competition levels go down.

Yep, this idea that Dak is a scrambling, mobile Qb is some sort of weird fantasy. He is the average for a Qb running the ball.

Go away.
Stop starting so many threads about Dak.
Your obsession is unhealthy.

Imagine all of the productive, enjoyable things you could’ve done with all that time spent thinking about Dak Prescott.


This thread history is nothing short of disturbing.
