Run vs. Pass

[KurtRambis4]

Well when

you run the ball 40%+ less, of course you're going to have less yards rushing, Einstein. I'm not sure that all of the sudden means Dak can't run the ball anymore.

What is your next prophecy, Jameon Lewis graduating cuts down on his number of receptions?

The read option requires that both options are viable. Right now handing it to the RB is not a concern for the defense so Dak is not being afforded the holes he had last year.

^^THIS^^. Throw in the theories of NFL Stock, keeping him healthy, & our talented receiving corps & you have a full answer. Dak's ability to run is the only option the D is respecting.

Yep. Last year J-Rob and Dak could equally beat you. Pick your poison there. Both those guys made defenses look bad because who do you chose to stop?

This year, defenses can spy Dak while still limiting the run. I'm convinced this is why Dak spent so much time refining his pass game.

your comprehension skills could use some serious work. i have never said dak cant run the ball anymore. you inferred that. why must you continue to act like a child? wtf is wrong with you? i never said he wasnt capable. you assumed (incorrectly) that was what i was saying. if adrian peterson rushes for 2000 yards with a 5.5 ypc average in year X with year X not being 2014 and a year later, he rushes for 700 yards with a slightly lesser ypc average everyone will say that he wasn't the same great runner he was the year before. nobody in said argument is saying anything about ability. same applies here, but the fact still remains he wasnt the same great rusher he was the previous year. no doubt you will continue to make this non-issue the biggest part of your day.

 

[KurtRambis4]

Youre

right. Dak simply isn't a great runner anymore, as evident by our run-happy offense.****

dak simply isnt the same great runner we saw last season...

Dude...this statement implies that Dak simply isn't as good a runner as last year - not that he is running less this year, therefore not getting the same kind of rushing numbers

That's all Kurt is saying. Damn.

Edited to add: Also, too - RebelGrove has it all figured out; they say he has a sports hernia.

my argument remains the same. dak isnt the same great runner we saw last season. the statistics back that up. you want to debate why that is while inferring something that i have not said.

 

[Shamoan]

we already went over this. i didnt imply anything. if you keep saying it enough times, it might stick. dak isnt the same great runner we saw last season does NOT mean he cannot run. anything less that great does not mean bad, incapable, etc. kurt has said on multiple occasions that i have said dak cant run the ball...as a impartial bloodhound for truth that you appear to be**, think about that for a while. if you think dak is as great a runner as last season, please back that up with something other than smoke out of your ***.

dak 2015: 4.0 ypc (30 rushes for 121 yards)

dak 2014: 4.7 ypc (210 rushes for 986 yards)

dak is averaging the same ypc as ashton shumpert currently and we all know the criticism shump has taken.


whats the problem? 4.7 (Dak 2014) > 4.0 (Dak 2015)

so again tell me how im being irrational when i say "dak simply isnt the same great runner we saw last season", where dak being a "great runner" is defined by me as being 4.7 ypc with his production this season CLEARLY less than what it was last season. would those numbers not back up exactly what i have said? clearly, a couple of you have a bone to pick, so go ahead and get it off your chest.
