alot of people have gotten on this staff for not allowing Dak to run more. The truth is it’s on Dak for most of the reason he’s not running more.
Last game the coaches called 2 QB runs that were successful designed plays. You won’t see a ton of designed runs because that leads to a higher percentage of direct hits.
Where running QBs hurt you is the scrambling when a play breaks down. That is where Dak limits himself. I’ve said since he’s a rookie he needs to be more like Donovan. Take off if nothings there. Donovan was not a very good passer when he first entered the league. By the end he was actually pretty solid and became better because his legs weren’t as good.
Vick and Steve Young didn’t terrorize the league based off read option like Kaepernick. They went through the progressions fast and then if space they used their legs. Vick’s game winner vs Minnesota his second year is a perfect example.
Defenses can scheme to stop any designed run. However it’s the Dak adlibbing that will hurt them more. But his mentality has to be willing to do it.
