We Have Won Only 6 Games With Less Than 100 Yards Rushing With Dak As Starting QB Since 2016

I disagree.
A stat showing what this team needs to do to win is not meaningless, to me. The 90's team had a similar stat. Every time Emmitt had 20 carries the winning percentage jumped up to like 96%. And guess what... every time Dallas won a Super Bowl in the 90's Emmitt had over 340 carries that year. 340 divided by 16 equals 21 carries a game. So, the stat of needed 100 yards on the ground, for this team to win, shows us we need the focus on running the ball.

Well then.

Does that mean that Aikman "needed" 100 yards to win a game? Or that running for 100 yards is the winning ticket to winning ball games?

It's useless without context. It skews in favor of non running QBs. I bet Lamar Jackson has very few games he's won when the Ravens rushed for less 100 yards. That doesn't mean he wasn't a major factor in winning those games when they did rush for 100 yards.

The stat you are trying to use to discount Dak is meaningless without context. It will skew in favor of non mobile QBs. I bet Lamar Jackson has very few games that he won when the Ravens rushed for less than 100 yards.

Lamar is actually 2-2 without 100 yards rushing support.

But I don't see how Lamar being a weapon on the ground makes the 6 wins in 6+ years for the Dak lead Cowboys look any better.

I wonder where Lamar ends up. I know its off topic but I dont see him staying in Baltimore now.

I think winning and running the ball gonhand in hand just due to running out the clock late in games. It just shows we lose close games. And when you are one of the most penalized teams in the league its hard to win close games

IM guessing the Chiefs have the best win/loss record in the NFL since Mahomes took over. I am only guessing, but I suspect the Chiefs arent in the upper 1/2 of teams in regards to rushing yards per game.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

LOL there you go again. With the insults.

I am a Cowboys fan. First and foremost and I don't care who is winning games. I cheered this team when Carter was under center. Can we do better than Dak? ABSOLUTELY. I was one of the guys wanting to tank for draft position until I realized Jerry will never admit his mistake and draft a QB high so might as well enjoy the season.

However. I'm not going to sit here and read you post daily on Cooper Rush, being disingenuous at every opportunity and giving credit to every QB but the one for this team for doing the same thing other QBs do. Its laughable.

You literally brought up and then said "I brought up 4 QBs younger than Dak that win games when their team doesn't rush for 100 yards" (or somewhere along those lines) and then in the same breath when talking about Dak say "winning is a team accomplishment" lol.

I am amazed that you think people arent going to figure you out.

I think the way you pretend to play the fence with Dak is a good effort, but when you get emotional the true feelings come out about Dak.

Again, this post wasn't for the posters like yourself. This post was for the reasonable folk around here.

The goal is to never have to find out.

Its not emotion. Its just pointing out that the rest of the NFL has the same issue. You think anyone who doesnt eat out of your hand regarding you Dak opinions is a "Dallas Prescott" fan which is entirely untrue. But hey. To each their own.

Your opinion of me means little, and your opinion of my fandom means even less.

Just looking at that stat is useless without context when evaluating the qb's performance. Game vs Tampa last year is a good example.

The Chiefs are 20-13 when they have less than 100 rushing since Mahomes took over in 2018.

Now, Mahomes has missed some games too, so the record could be different with him. That's just what they are overall.

We all understand the rest of the league also has this issue.

The issue us Cowboys fans have is SIX wins in 6+ years under this scenario.

That is embarrassing.

The loss? lol

The game where Kellen Moore said that Dak audibled out of 12 of his 28 called run plays?

That game? lol

and you think the Ravens will let him walk without tagging him?????

If Mahomes was out in 6 of those losses... that would make those numbers irrelevant IMO.

That same game where you said it was Daks "best of his career"

LOL. Yeah that game.

So he had the best game of his career not listening to KM. Go figure.

So are you saying Dak was the reason we lost that game?

Doesnt mean he will play.

True but as Bill Walsh said before with west coast based offense those swing passes, quick hitters to the WR are an extension of the run game, granted no one is running pure WCO but there are aspect of the WCO still in use. Those plays are designed more for picking up 4 to 5 yards. Green Bay does the same Aaron Jones

yea, you know, the game where we walked up and down the field? They say the run game sets up the pass game.... well Dak had over 400 yards passing in that game and we didnt rush worth a damn in that game.

Great reaserch?
Dalton game !

How do you win with less than 100 yards rushing? 2 fumble recoveries and 2 interceptions giving you 3 fields < 30 yards and the last one < 50 yards. Yeah, Dalton led the team to victory??? He did have some nice screen passes for much of his 209 yards passing.
