“Dak Prescott was seventh in the NFL in on-target percentage at 77.6% and *sixth in the NFL in bad throw percentage, all the while finishing fifth in intended air yards. His 9.3 intended air yards per attempt was behind only Matthew Stafford, Jameis Winston, Ryan Tannehill, and Russell Wilson. Stafford, Winston, and Wilson were in the bottom ten of bad throw percentage while only Ryan Tannehill had a better bad throw percentage than Prescott.”

*Sixth in this category is good not bad btw.

watchingall the great QB play today...watching mahomes and seeing how he leads a receiver, even on a simple screen... so he doesn't have to slow down , just catch and run at full speed ....and comparing to dak, when he throws...behind a WR, the receiver contorting his body, stopping, reaching back..... even on a simple out or screen pass, then having to regroup, figure out his next move and get tackled for a loss or gain of 1....accuracy is not the location you are throwing the ball, but knowing where to throw the ball. just brings tears to my eyes....we are limited. very limited. how far can we go? not far or perhaps as far as zeke can take us....

Crazy how front running against horrendous teams have turned you into a joke

No he does not have an accuracy problem: He just doesn't process information fast enough.

Just like every other position, mistakes happen; however, the statistics are pretty clear that Dak Prescott is one of the more accurate quarterbacks in the NFL.

Aaron Rodgers is a great quarterback. We know this. However, it’s important to note that Prescott has been more accurate. Those are the facts.

Dak Prescott was seventh in the NFL in on-target percentage at 77.6% and sixth in the NFL in bad throw percentage, all the while finishing fifth in intended air yards.

Dak Prescott’s bad throw percentage improved from 17.3% in 2018 to 14.8% in 2019.

Dak Prescott has shown improvement each year he’s been in the NFL. Last year, he proved to be one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL.

Dak Prescott is one of the more accurate quarterbacks in the NFL and will continue to improve in that area.


Holy mythbuster!!! I've read so many times this off season that each of those items above weren't true.

Dak has a real accuracy problem when he is pressured or when the team is not playing well.
If the Cowboys are beating up on a weaker team he plays well, too.
But when the pressure is on, he chokes and gets really inaccurate.
This isn't a stat. We've all seen it happen way too many times.
No no no...pay no attention to what you see! The stats tell the whole story. Dak is the most accurate QB in the history of the nfl.
