The Cowboys and 49ers Pass Rushing Makes Their Quarterbacks Look Good
Cooper Rush has been the Dallas Cowboys' starting quarterback for the last four games. Jimmy Garoppolo has replaced Trey Lance as the San Francisco 49ers starting QB. The 49er's defense is the best in the N.F.L. with 21 sacks and 142 sack yards. Quarterbacks pass more when trailing and take more risks when playing catch up. Quarterback drama keeps the sports-media industrial complex humming. It never fails that defenders do most of the dirty work. N’Fl. quarterbacks attempt 52 percent of their passes while trailing, 30 percent when leading and 18 percent with the score tied.
The Cowboys and 49ers pass rush makes their quarterbacks look good. An excellent pass rushing can lead a team with an ordinary quarterback to victory in the Super Bowl.
The quarterback secures a place in history even when his team wins a championship.
