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

Have you ever seen any of Dak's game film from college?
He was basically a running back, and when they played better teams that stopped the run, he was inaccurate at passing.
I did watch a few games of him in college in his senior year. I gauantee 100% you didn't watch any. so don't question anyone if you didn't do it yourself (you got caught with your pants down around your ankles, bent over in jail).

"ranks in the top-20 in SEC history in passing touchdowns (70, 16th), completion percentage (62.8, 12th), completions (734, 12th), passing yards (9,376, 11th), and passing efficiency (146.1, 12th)"
2015 SENIOR SEASON: Led the SEC in conference games in completions (226), completion percentage (67.1), passing yards (2,528), touchdown-to-interception ratio (17:4), passing yards per game (316.2) and total offense per game (363)
in senior season his completion percentage was 66.2% and passed for 3793 yards, that ranked 15th in college football.

so it looks like you are being your old lazy self, no clue. just make up stuff as you go. got caught in a lie yet again, but then again that's what alcoholics do.

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.

Yes, it’s going to end badly for the Eagles

He has one of the best most accurate arms in the NFL when on the move. What are you even talking about?

Tell that to Roger Staubach, John Elway, Fran Tarkenton, Michael Vick, Randall Cunningham, etc. Football is a collision sport and most go the way of Aikman with concussions and not leg injuries.

However, Joe Theismann could not run a lick but his career was ended with a broken leg in the pocket.
I disagree here somewhat, as Joe Theismann could run. His career actually began as a punt returner with Washington after being released by Miami, and he would regularly burn us with his scrambling.

He doesn’t have to run much. He just has to run enough to present a credible threat. That threat freezes a linebacker which helps open things up.

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.
Dallas needs him to run when the defense sells out down field and he has open green in front of him. He doesn’t need to run much. He just has to present a credible threat.

There have been plenty of studies that show running QBs do not get hurt at a higher rate than other QBs
Most major injuries occur in the pocket.

This is true, and he returned punts in the CFL also.

You only have a small window of opportunity in the NFL life span; give it your all.

Dak has to run a few times a game to keep the defense guessing. The threat of him running is a weapon too. Dak is not a running qb per say but needs it in his arsenal when needed. He needs a great all around game in Philly.

Dak is running only 3.3 times per game, some of which are scrambles, and occasionally a QB sneak. In what world is that considered a "running QB"?

Tom Brady averaged 3.1 rushing attempts one season. Was he a running QB?

Lamar Jackson runs over 9 times a game, and that's down from the 11-12 times per game from a few years ago. THAT'S a running QB.
