This is an interesting article stating that our O-line isn’t even top ten in the league anymore

Beyond that I found one piece of information interesting. Last year Dak was under pressure on 28.6% of his dropbacks.

That’s nearly 1/3 of the time that he was being pressured. This can explain some of last years results

I always thought the prevalent line of thinking is that a good QB wants to see a team blitz him. It opens up the field for a big gain. The issue is that Dak can't pull the trigger and make a team pay by going downfield. You pressure him and he'll dump it off. Then when you don't pressure him, he'll dump it off again.

Sad to say but so true. That's what I saw all year long. I love the kid but I think he lacks a lot.

that doesn't seem high, how does that compare to the rest of the league

Rule of thumb on the blitz if you cant go downfield, throw just behind where the blitz cam from, usually you will find a seam there.

With former NFL QBs Garrett and Wilson, and now Moore schooling him, Dak will turn those 5 yard outs into 6 yard outs in no time.
