The reality is that Dak is maximized as a QB when he has a robust running game (true of all QBs actually).
The fact that this FO uses his contract as an excuse NOT to address the running game is beyond idiotic.
Why extend a player and pay all that money only to refuse to give him the support he needs to execute at his best level?
JJ saying we “couldn’t afford Henry” is laughable. Of course they can. The truth is they didn’t want to sign him, and they think that paying Dak all that money should mean Dak becomes superman and does it all by himself.
To invest 60 million a year only to refuse to spend an additional 8 mil a year on a RB who can actually force a defense to account for his abilities? Ludicrous.
IMO— Dak shutting out the media this week is a great thing. The rest of the “leaders” should take the hint as well.
I think Dak will put up some big numbers on Thursday but in the end it won’t matter. The way the FO has constructed this roster has resulted in fatal flaws that expose Dak and the offense’s vulnerabilities and limitations, and fields a defense that STILL cannot stop the run after all these years.
