Dak’s Inaccurate Myth is just that, a Myth

Every denier here always brings up that Dak isn’t an accurate QB. This is a prime example of how perception becomes reality. Every QB has bad throws. All of them. A video came out early in Dak’s career where he was competing with some former QB (can’t remember his name) in a friendly game of throwing the football at targets and the former QB beat him out. After seeing that, the yahoos have been constantly harping on how inaccurate Dak is. Yet Dak’s current career completion rate is 66.7%. Brady’s is 64.2%. Aaron Rogers is 65.4. Patrick Mahomes is 66.1. Josh Allens is 62.1

Now I’m not saying Dak is better than any of those QB’s. He’s not. But he’s close and he’s not inaccurate like so many of the deniers here say he is. It’s just not true.

Some games he is on flippin' point.
Some games he's absolutely not, but that's no different from 90 percent of all QB's.

People saying we need this and that and a running game and less throwing...
Well DUH!
All teams need that even with elite QB's.
But it's not up to the QB to dictate this.
It's up to the game and how it shapes itself:

Do they fall behind?
Do they go up, or maintain on the score?
How is the OL working? Is there a weakness to be exploited?
Is a weakness being exploited by the other side?

How is the D holding up?
Does it need protecting?
Are they dominating so you can get a bit riskier?


So many things.
The game of football is simple to simpletons.

It's not simple.
@Ranching back me up here dude.
There are a million things that are considered both in prep and in the course of the game.
Sometimes things work, sometimes things don't...
Sometimes things are stupid. Sometimes things are stolen.

But the game of football is never simple.

True.

His biggest issue has been diagnosing coverage he's not familiar with.

I just want Dak to play more like Cooper Rush. And then everything will fall in place.

He's not inaccurate. His issue is trying to carry too much. When he does that, he's not very good. When he takes the Cooper Rush approach, he does great.

In fact, I'd say Dak has a good arm, and good accuracy, most of the time.

Exactly. Dak has to play within the system.

Who made Rush play like he played? The coaches did. They learned that they don’t need to be a pass first offense with this defense. Finally!

59.2. Just shows you need a team to win not just 1 player. Thanks for asking.
LoL. That just shows all that this team needs is a reliable guy who allows the run game to flourish and takes himself back. Whenever Dak did that since his return we won.

Yes Dak had a very good game on Sunday but you and your delusional threads are just hilarious.

Dak's problem is not inaccuracy ....... its inconsistency.

He plays like a top 5 QB sometimes
And he plays like dog doodoo sometimes.

If everyone would just admit that most of these petty fights would stop .....

Hopefully he can get to where he is good Dak like yesterday 90% of the time
