You can argue it all you want, but Dak was responsible for 606 plays and Newton 544. Those are facts. Just because you want to put your fingers in your ears and ignore it doesn't change the way the real world works.


Yeah, I'm not arguing, just thought it seemed off. I didn't remember Cam spending much time on the bench that year and thought Gus was running his up tempo offense. You're definitely right.

There is definitely a trade off as far as total yards go. At some point you are trying to gauge total productivity. That's different for every team, we had by far the best offensive season we've ever had, so nobody is really concerned about him throwing a few picks.

In the end you are still trying to directly compare Apples and Oranges. I'm willing to bet that Dak, or Nick Marshall for that matter, could have recorded a higher % with Percy Harvin, Aaron Hernandez, and Riley Cooper to throw the rock to. How would they perform in a vacuum? I'm not really sure, but their numbers are all good enough to consider.
