Winning the Superbowl is what this is all about.
We won't win it with the same conservative approach that beat 80% of the league because now we're playing the top teams who are playing at their best.
We need to aim more downfield, or we'll lose. Period.
I don't care if that comes from Dak or Romo. I really don't, as long as it gets done. A gameplan of safe passes has gotten us this far, but playoff defenses are going to clamp that shit down.
Until Detroit (finally!), I didn't see more come from Dak on a consistent basis. He had one shot in Pittsburgh, another in GB to Butler when the DB fell down, and another in Minny when Dez double-moved the DB out of his cleats. But he never consistently tried downfield shots. I'm talking at least one a quarter.
He has to bring that 25+ mojo on multiple drives by design or we'll be lucky to make let alone win the Superbowl.
I don't want Ben Roethlisberger's rookie year. I want a championship. It's not fair to ask that of Dak, but it is what it is. We might not have this same caliber team next year.
