Arm Talent- 7.5
Accuracy- 9
Pre/Post Snap Reads- 8
Pocket Awareness- 5.5

Dak has more than enough arm strength and has demonstrated he can make all of the throws. Documented evidence in game of him launching the ball 65 + yards in the air.

Accuracy is elite, imo. I know most haters will fall over themselves with this statement but his accuracy is uncanny. He does have moments of inaccuracy and they usually center on his mechanics going bad.

Pre/Post Snap reads are excellent. There is a reason he doesn't turn the ball over, has high everything and it isn't because he doens't know where to go with the ball.

Pocket awareness- I wish it was better. It isn't something that can generally improve either. You either have it or you don't....it is an area of frustration for me.
Accuracy is way off.Ask David Carr about that.

I did ask him...

He said he has a lower career completion percentage than Dak does for his career and felt like the for fun, no warm-up test was sheer dumb luck.

Of course, that is no sleight to you who uses this street clothes "competition" as the Holy Grail of all benchmarks. lol

Did you ever actually watch him play.Maybe the worst Oline in history in Houston.The most important thing for qb is actually throwing the ball and Dak is off target on so many throws.This isn’t about DC anyway.How you can give him a 9 on accuracy is ludicrous.Even the pros will tell you that.Accuracy is accuracy, no matter what clothes you’re wearing.You either have it or don’t.

You’re not objective if you think Dak is anything more than slightly above average.
You're not very smart if you think he isn't. Fans like you jump on one thing and can't see the whole picture....gtho

Can literally point to nothing to support this absurdity.

What would you rate Daniel Jones out of curiosity? lol

Oh, I see the whole picture.There are so many issues w/ that team and Dak is one of the issues.
One...OK, I agree.....talk about the rest and don't focus on one....that's what lazy fans or haters do.

Arm Talent- 8 .. He has made all the throws..

Accuracy- 7 .. He drives me nuts by throwing touch passes and then throwing in the ground or off.. Footwork will improve.

Pre/Post Snap Reads- 7 .. He reads the defenses fine. It’s the progressions with the receivers and deciding to let it go at times.,

Pocket Awareness- 5 .. Occasionally holds it to long, don’t see the guy coming to strip the ball. Or don’t see the rusher coming till it’s to late. He can improve here.
This is a good take. I think you are spot on.
