All this BS arguing over 200 yards. The mythical 200 yard benchmark.
200 yards as a benchmark doesnt matter. Not in the least.
What does matter is YPA. Now Dak’s YPA was still lower than I would like against the Jags. I would like to see his YPA be a full yard or so higher.
This team isn’t built to throw the ball 30+ times a game. So being that far beyond 200 yards per game isn’t a realistic expectation most games. Unless we expect him to average 9-10 YPA. Which is a bit much considering the level of talent at receiver.
If Dak averages 8 YPA over his 25 attempts that would have put him at exactly 200 yards. So even having a solid YPA against the jags would have only put him at exactly 200 yards.
If you want the same people complaining about not throwing for 200 yards against the Jaguars to reverse course and start coming up with excuses for why throwing for under 200 yards doesn't matter, bring up the fact Romo didn't throw for 200 yards against GB in the 2014 playoff game. Throwing for 200 yards won't be so important then. It's very important Dak didn't throw for 200 yards in a 33 point win but very unimportant in a 5 point season ending loss. Just point it out and watch the typical double standard hypocrisy begin.
