How about the very QB you brought up? Matt Ryan, while he had a couple turnovers, put up 250 yards and 3 TDs against their D. Cam had over a 100 rating, and really was just preventing a meltdown since they took early control of that game due to turnovers early. Bridgewater isn't a great QB, he hardly puts up big numbers against anyone.
Also, yet again, you are missing the point. I'm not saying Dak needs to have 300 yard game with 5 TDs. I'm saying he is going to being seeing tight coverage against even BETTER defenses in the future. Against Seattle, you will have Sherman locking up one side of the field, so that is one part of the field Dak won't challenge due to tight coverage. So you look elsewhere, you then have great safeties taking out other parts of the field with tight coverage and good linebackers helping to take out underneath routes. To Dak, this stuff will be covered due to those tight windows being considered blanketed coverage. Precision passing and zipped passes are needed here, something Dak has shown he is inconsistent with or just flat out can't do.
The last thing we want, which Dak has shown he does far too often, his hold the ball too long for a defender to come off the edge and sack him or worse force a turnover.
If there is one QB that I complain about holding the ball too long is Romo. Yet why is our rookie QB held to a different standard?
