Rush is just more proof that you can get Dak like results without spending that kind of money.
That. That is my point 10000%. I had less issues with Dak when he was on his rookie contract. The big hate for Dak came when he took 40M to give us the same output as his rookie season.
The bit I am also thinking about it how a QB can 'elevate' those around him. Whilst Dak had "no receivers".. Rush has made Noah Brown look like a star. Our Oline did not get called for holding once.. and one false start (that could be argued).. compare that to last season and TB in Week 1. Dak holding the ball so long, not running rush plays all make the OLine look terrible as they are forced to hold to try and keep Dak upright. The Defence is playing lights out.. no doubt.. but how much easier when the TOP is even and they aren't being forced to head back out after watching a quick 3 and out?
I don't know.. but the suggestion that we would have won the last 3 games 'by even more' with Dak.. just doesn't sit right with me. Yes TB is a good defence but Dak looked woeful in week 1 and the team looked bad around him. Don't know but I have loved watching the last three games.. I like watching us commit to the run.. I like that we are running a balanced offence.. I actually watched the game today and didn't worry about flags every second play. I just like the way we 'look' right now. Don't think that is 100% Rush.. but Dak is right to feel nervous IMHO.
