In reality, Prescott has not run enough. The quarterback has 24 rushing yards through seven games this season.<\/p>\n<p>Dak Prescott\u00a0is not a conventional QB who can only throw from within the pocket, nor is he a dual-threat quarterback like\u00a0<strong>Lamar Jackson<\/strong>. He falls in between the two archetypes.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Dak Prescott: Never Will Knock My Confidence | Dallas Cowboys 2024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dyFG3jxPKfE?feature=oembed\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dyFG3jxPKfE?feature=oembed\" data-lazy-method=\"viewport\" data-lazy-attributes=\"src\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>While rushing is not his strongest suit, he has shown that he can run the ball when needed.

Dak Prescott has struggled on the offensive end, and the offensive line has been one cause.
