Do people want to go back to the days of when we attempted 40-50 passes with Romo and he was racking up 300-400 yards a game in losses? I don't care about stats. Win the games. Can Dak improve? Absolutely. Then again, so can every QB in this league besides a certain few. In 2016 when we won 13 games, we were not putting up huge numbers. We controlled the clock. And now our defense seems better which will help out the offense. This offense has the ability to be very efficient. What we want to do is what we did on that 8minute drive to seal the Giants win. We are not going to sling it all over the field like the 8-8 Romo years.
Well said.
Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys' passing game needs to improve, no question about it, and there's no reason it can't.
Dak averaged 229 passing yards per game as a rookie and 227 passing yards per game last year through week 9 (Kansas City) last year.
Yes, the numbers took a nose dive after that game, I haven't forgotten, but there was more at fault than just QB play.
He's even had 4 games over 300 yards passing. The team has a 3-1 record in those contests with the lone loss being in the 2016 season divisional playoff against Green Bay.
Dak is a conservative passer by nature, he doesn't take many high risk chances, especially if consistently getting pressured. And 20+ yard passes have been lacking since he became the starter.
I also am one of those that wants to see more deep shots taken. I believe in showing a defense that you will go for the home run as an offense. This doesn't even mean connecting on a deep bomb every few games, just show defenses you are going to attack them vertically and make them think about the downside to stacking the box to defend Ezekiel Elliott.
