Dareus is an elite run stuffer but still can provide a pass rush. His sack numbers are good but as a starter he doesn't disrupt or cause pressure like Malik does. His job is to eat up blocks and let others get 1 v 1 matchups.  

At his peak Dareus can do both. He's just more of a run stopper.

So taking the assertion that Dareus can't rush the passer as well as Jackson at face value (I don't)  then the question is, as far as DTs go, why is rushing the passer far more valuable than stopping the run?

In our losses to the Rams, Jets. and week 2 to the tacks, those teams ran all over us.  We were unable to stop them at all.

How is run defense less valuable than pass rushing when the lack of a run defense cost us three games?

Based on what?
