Dak's running may help for a bit, but it will end badly

Agreed. Dak has Mississippi State number one in the nation for a while and they had absolutely nothing on offense except him. And he did it in the SEC.
Incorrect - MSU had a very good OL while he was there and a couple very good receivers / running game. But he was without a doubt the top dawg on that team.

This offense is evolving, maybe too slowly for some, but for those paying attention we can see some chemistry finally taking place with Dak and CD especially.
If peeps are missing that growth immediately, they just are not paying any attention.
It was sarcasm.

Running quarterbacks are again a fad in the NFL.
But just like before, and just like the Ravens found out and the Eagles, and the Falcons with Vick, the NFL shied away from running quarterbacks because they eventually get hurt, and leave their team without a starter.
Dak was a running quarterback in college and his passing was bad. This is nothing new.
You think dak has been a running lately? Lolol. Clueless

Dak has to move to be effective, so we have to move him around, come what may.

While what you say is somewhat true, once we get some more involvement, evolvement from Gallup, Tolbert Schoon, Dak can scramble when he feels good about it.
Exactly what isn't true about what I'm saying, it opens the Defense up regardless of who is catching it!?. Add in Pollard threat it's potent, look at the other top teams around the league

Staubach scrambled, but didn't run.
He tried that and ended up with a separated shoulder, and Landry was mad.
There's a difference between scrambling and using the quarterback as a running back.
Staubach finished top 4 on the team in rushing 70-71, 73-75, career 2264 yds rushing, 5.5 ypc, and 20TDs is a rushing/running QB and not scrambling (which is only used for the fair skin QBs). He passed, he ran/rushed the ball, and it only stopped when the Cowboys traded up to draft Tony Dorsett.

In college at Navy his yards were given as all purpose because he passed and ran. He was a passing and RUNNING QB - All purpose.

there is a difference between running QBs and QBs who can run. Hurts, Jackson always look to run. Dak, Allen, few others, can run if need be, but they look to pass.

you thought you were being profound and yet again, you missed the bus....

if you are going to make football strategy/ play design related comments, then educate yourself first. don't be shy about asking for help. I am here for you

Dak's touchdown vs the Chargers was a called run play.
That's great, and it worked great, but it will eventually lead to injuries.
or that's what you are hoping to happen, because you don't care about cowboys given you are really a titans fan. you just want to say I told you so.

Dak isn't a running QB. But he needs to run in certain situations. Mahomes isn't a running QB but he will take off and pick up the 1st down when he has to.

That is all Dak should be expected to do when it comes to running. He's not an elite thrower, so he has to bring a little bit of running to the table if he wants to get this team over the top.

You guys are comical.. you have just got you find something, lol. Comparing Dak to a running QB is a big reach.. and not knowing the difference is too hilarious. Theres this thing in football called extending a drive, that’s it. Dak isn’t looking to run. Dallas just needs him to get the 3 and 5 with his legs as opposed to throwing a int or an incomplete pass.
