He was top 10, consistently

 

meanwhile, dak has the second lowest # of Td throws for qbs that have started and played the entire season, only trailing Mariotta 

#1 in sacks, also known as drive killers

its a good thing volume stats have never correlated to winning. You do care about winning, right?

That makes me want to throw up. He isn’t worth half that amount given his inability to throw the ball and avoid sacks and fumbles.

A high completion QB that doesnt turn the ball over. Thats the worst.

That's a potential killer

Third most winning QB the last 3 years.

As he shouldnt. Zeke is half as important to our team. He should be paid half. 

"From Weeks 11-13, teams that ranked in the top half of the NFL in terms of run-play percentage posted a combined record of 32-13 (71.1 winning percentage). On the flip side, teams that ranked in the bottom half of the league in this category logged a combined mark of 12-31 (27.9). Digging a little deeper with the help of my editorial staff, I discovered that 11 teams ran the ball on at least 45 percent of their snaps during Weeks 11-13. Those teams' combined record? 23-7. That's a robust 76.7 winning percentage. And six of those teams -- the Ravens (who ran the ball a whopping 67.4 percent of the time during this span), Patriots (54.5), Texans (53.6), Seahawks (51.4), Cowboys (47.5) and Broncos (46.9) -- didn't lose a single game over the past three weeks. Considering that the teams that kept it on the ground on less than 40 percent of their snaps in Weeks 11-13 went a combined 11-29 (27.5 winning percentage), it is fairly obvious that consistently running the ball still equates to success in this league.

 

Now, I know the analytics crowd will immediately @ me suggesting that some of those numbers are inflated by the fourth quarter, when a team is ahead and intent on running out the clock. However, we crunched the numbers on the first three quarters, taking the final period completely out of the equation. Teams that ran on at least 45 percent of their snaps in Quarters 1-3 went 19-9 (67.9 winning percentage) in Weeks 11-13. Those that pounded it on 40 percent or less of their offensive plays? 12-22 (35.3)."

I quoted a 25 year sample size and you dismissed it.

You quote a few week sample size and believe it.

Which one of us is in denial?

Neither.

You quoted a 25 year sample size arguing passing yards don't correlate to winning. You were right. You also showed rushing yards don't really correlate either. I'm not arguing against either.

 

The key is in the rushing attempts, not the yards:

"The threat of the run also makes play-action more effective because linebackers overreact to the sight of the ball being handed to the back and that creates big windows in coverage. The mere threat of the running game creates chaos. ... That's why good offensive coordinators focus more on rushing attempts than yards, because it is all about setting up bigger plays in the passing game with play-action and using a persistent running game to wear down the defense."

Think of the running game like a boxer's jab. You're not throwing the jab to knock the opponent out; you're using it to set up the big right-hand shots that lead to knockdowns. When you run the ball early and often, defenses have to respect any and all play fakes, thus spawning bigger plays in the passing game off play-action passes. The running game sets the table for devastating vertical strikes.

Third most winning QB the last 3 years.

High completion QB who can’t throw the ball down field, holds the ball WAY too long, resulting in him taking uneccessary sacks, leads the league in fumbles, and can’t make basic throws. That actually IS some of the worst. If he was even moderately capable, our offense wouldn’t be so anemic.

Yea Dak stats dont exactly scream for top tier QB money. Now if he can actually hit the receivers when hes needed to and still pull off his "clutch" plays then sure I would be willing to pay him Tannehill type money. But he is not worth a 100m contract at this point.

Historically he has not had a sack or fumble issue. People get hit alot when they have a crappy OL. When you are getting hit at twice the clip as any point in his history, you are likely to have more fumbles.
