One of the most dominant offenses in league history

[AdamJT13]

Most games 100+ passer rating, rookie
9 Wilson 2012
8 Prescott 2016*
8 Griffin 2012
8 Roethlisberger 2004
6 Newton 2011
6 Marino 1983

*through 10 games

If you set a minimum of 20 attempts, Dak already has the most games. He's had at least 24 attempts in every game, and none of those other guys had more than seven games with 20-plus attempts and a 100 rating.

Forget rookies, Dak already has 8 games with 200+ yards and a 100+ rating, which is the most in the NFL this season.

These are the only QB who have ever had at least 8 such games in their first 10.

10 Rodgers 2011
9 Brady 2007
8 Prescott 2016
8 Palmer 2005

As I posted earlier this isn't a high-flying passing game, but it's a darned efficient passing game.

Most of the time the throws go to the open guy and aren't forced, it's a more safe passing game.

I think Romo would have more passing TD's at this point, but he would have had more picks too IMO.

I am getting sick and tired of individuals saying Dak looks bad in the beginning of games. How about you close your eyes, and judge the ENTIRE GAME! Isn't the game 60 minutes? The last I checked, the game isn't over in the 1st quarter. How many games has other quarterbacks looked sloppy during spurts of the game? How many games has Romo gotten off to a slow start only to come back and win in the end, no one mentioned any of this then.

Shut up please. The final stat says he was dominant. How he got there is inconsequential.

Simply outstanding.

We get a lot of praise, but I don't think we're getting enough for how truly amazing this offense is.

Also, seems like Dak and Dez are figuring it out. Watch out NFL.

 

[Proof]

lol. The post game interview with rob Kelley just now is case in point.

"You're just the third udfa to have three straight games of 20 carries. How does that make you feel?"

Man what??? Lol

clove your being a little touchy ??
I said that, but I wasnt judging him.
It is a fact, he does or has played bad, or seems off in early parts of games.
Then in the 4th he becomes a savy all pro, passes right on target , changes to right plays, and reads the defenses and takes
the weakest area.

in the post game dungy pointed out on several plays, where dak read the defense, and threw to right area.
one play was a blitz from the R side, so he knew to throw left.

he even said ravens tried everything defensively and dak still read it and made the right call or play.

The point is, we don't care . We care about the overall conclusion. No one cares about how many INTs Joe Montana threw in his career , just that he's a hall of famer.

What's great about this offense is that we have very good to elite players at every level. It forces the defenses to defend the entire field because we can beat you deep (Dez, TWill), beat you with a intermediate pass (Witten, Bease) or we can beat you with the run (Zeke). Most good offenses can do 2 out of 3 well but not many teams can do all three well (Dallas, Atlanta, Oakland).

There is a break down of our offense by someone on the Steelers website. He broke down our offense with film examples. He feels we have the best offense this year because of the reasons I mentioned above. Even better than the Patriots.

 

[percyhoward]

I would say most consistent/balanced, not most dominant (maybe with 9). The OL is definitely dominant though.

This is from PFF's stats on yesterday's games.

5. Cowboys QB Dak Prescott earned a passer rating of 130.0 from a clean pocket in Dallas’ win over Baltimore.
That’s the second-highest number of the week (behind Kirk Cousins’ 153.8), and it fueled Dak Prescott’s overall passer rating of 127.2, as well. Only Tom Brady and Matt Ryan have a higher passer rating from a clean pocket on the season than Prescott; the former Mississippi State QB’s passer rating drops by nearly 50 points when under pressure (the average drop for a QB is 30 points), and his completion rate slips by 24 percentage points. Prescott continues to have an excellent rookie season, and the ability of his offensive line to prevent the opposing pass-rush from getting to him has been a major factor in that success.

I guess it depends on your definition of "dominant."

To me it's more than just scoring points. When everyone knows exactly what you're going to do and game in and out they still can't stop it, that's dominance. When you roll up over 400 yards on the best defense in football, drop 27 points on their heads and do stuff like march 90 yards for six, multiple times, that's dominance. People keep saying the Cowboys play close games, but the team has the highest point differential in the league. Is that a trait of a dominant offense? Hobbout 9-1?

I think the fact that Dallas runs the ball, racks up 400 yards and wins by 10 points every week instead of throwing for 450 yards and putting up 50 points once in a while mutes peoples' impression of the team's offense. If Tom Brady and and the Pats were 9-1 and going for 400 every time they step on the field, we'd all be slobbering over how dominant they are.

The Cowboys are playing old-school power football, running over teams and imposing their will, beating their opponents into submission. To me, that's beautiful football. And that's dominance.

Too bad we can't go back and time and take this OL to 2008-2013.

 

[THEHEREAFTER]

The stat of consecutive 400 yard games is absolutely jaw dropping when you consider only two other teams have done it. It speaks to balance, weapons, consistency and coaching. You simply cannot take a dimension away from this offense without paying dearly somewhere else. We're not "tricking" people ... We're overpowering and dissecting people. It's like a pick your poison/slow death. I had no idea we were in the company of those great offenses.

 

[Seven]

We are witnessing greatness!

You're Av goes perfect with your post..............

 

[Doomsday101]

I would add the fact Dak has posted back to back 300 yard games vs Pitt and Balt. Dak is starting to look down field more and connecting on these throws.

We are scoring points, but we're doing it almost methodically, which leaves our opponents with fewer possessions in the game. Those six offenses with more points per drive all had defenses that had to face an extra 1-2 possessions per game.

Opponent Drives/Game
10.0 Cowboys 2016
10.9 Patriots 2007
10.9 Colts 2004
11.1 Saints 2011
11.2 Packers 2011
11.4 Vikings 1998
12.6 Broncos 2013

Oh, I know. I just think a "methodical" offense won't seen by a majority of people as great or dominant, and I wholeheartedly disagree with that sentiment. I mean, please. Two drives, 180 yards and 12 minutes against the best defense in the league? The Dallas offense is a soul-crushing machine, and I absolutely LOVE it.

He's also playing much better in the face of pressure the last two weeks.

Prescott when pressured
@Pit 6 of 9 96 yd 1 td 0 int 139.1
vs Bal 5 of 10 66 yd 1 td 0 int 104.6
total 11 of 19 162 yd 2 td 0 int 120.9
