Wrong on all three counts. You just hit the trifecta of bad takes.Purely at the insistence of Kitna. That is not where he's comfortable at all. It looked shaky at best.
Prescott was already throwing deeper late in games in 2018, after being conservative for three quarters. With Linehan's departure, the offense under Moore was already headed toward more a more aggressive attack for all four quarters (see Week 17 of 2018, see all of Moore's and Lal's comments during the offseason) -- although I have no doubt Kitna was also on board with this. The only question was whether Dak could sustain that intermediate-to-deep success over a full game.
There were 18 QB with at least 90 attempts at a depth of 15+ yards. Dak's rank among those 18:
comp% 1st
YPA 1st
yards 2nd
1st downs 2nd
TD 3rd
passer rating 3rd
attempts 4th
