This is one of the dumbest stats that people who have no clue about football always bring up to discredit a QB. A RB rushing for 100+ yards could be due to the team wanting to run more in order to run out the clock at the end of the game. The run game may had very little to do with the QB winning the game.
A good example of this is all the games where we blew out the other teams last year. Our run game sucked last year and had very minor role in us winning the following games. Some of these games, Dak didn't even play the full game and Rush was just handing off the ball at the end of the game. Yet the narrative will be, Dak only won these games because we rushed for 100 plus yards.
