Orlovsky's 3rd annual QB top 10 trait rankings

[Whyjerry]

Dan O is unwatchable, unreadable, and unlistenable. He is a total squid.

As far as yardage it does.

Yes because there is no such thing as yards after catch, it's all his arm. Again it's all Dak when you want it to be and all the team when that doesn't suit your needs.

 

[beware_d-ware]

Agree, BUT I'm not sure it matters that much. Dak can make all the throws........

Yeah, I don't think it's a slight on Dak, so much as the NFL having lots of very, very gifted throwers.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

That wasn’t the point. Stick to the topic.

I see. You are avoiding, again, 10 years of Dak futility.

I hope Dak's stats alone are keeping you happy. Because futility is what you've had for breakfast every post-game morning with your boiled eggs.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

Dak, on the whole, comes off as kinda average.

That is to say, hardy fellows, it IS nice Dak is in the top ten in those categories.
I once was in a magazine selling club, and I was in the top ten in sales. Lofty status it was but it never got me tha sewing machine prize for me mum.

Where did that get us in 2025?

Not getting beat 40-3. Did you see that defense. Historically bad yet we were still in some games.

Maybe but he has a pretty large audience of followers.......

There are 16 active NFL QBs that were drafted in the overall top five of their draft.

QBs don't get drafted that high without having a strong arm as one of their primary traits.

Dak has many fine traits but I don't think arm strength is one of them, comparatively.

Leadership, work ethic and resiliency are Dak's primary features.

 

[Cowboys5217]

If Dak were anywhere near as great as many claim he is then he would have put the team on his back and won at least one of those 49ers playoff games.

That thought alone will keep me in warm thoughts this coming winter.

Agreed.

 

[ErikWilliamsHeadSlap]

He has Allen over Mahomes in every category. Okay. I get some prefer Allen. But better than Mahomes in every category is laughable and bordering on delusional. Daniels isnt better than Mahomes in anything. I think Orlovsky comes to his conclusion first. Then fits the criteria to the conclusion. There is nothing unbiased about him. He is right there with Stephen A and Jeff Cavenaugh as motivation for bursting your ear drums on purpose.

As far as yardage it does.

Yardage is no indication of arm talent. Drew Brees had the most noodle arm of anyone over the last 20 years, even worse than Broncos Peyton Manning. Yet both of them set passing yardage records over and over again

Card carrying member of the CHIC group. CHIC = Cowboy Hater Industrial Complex.

I have never liked that weasel (Orlovsky) nor his content.

I am not a Dak hater or lover but I trust my eyes. Obviously he is basing his reads on something more than the obvious, mostly he's basing his assessments on his emotions. He is easy to despise.

He was whining on Get Up earlier this week about Jalen Hurts throwing an interception and how "unfairly" Hurts was getting dunked on saying things like "if it was any other QB, it wouldn't be a big deal". As if Dak doesn't get it as bad or worse than Hurts...

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Don't you think he knows what he's talking about?

He knows how to step out the back of an end zone lol.


In all seriousness, he is a smart analyst, but that's when him bring disingenuous with things like Hurts vs Dak and his obvious Eagles bias gets annoying.

Of course not. But as you just said, you don’t have to have a rocket arm to lead the league in passing yardage. You just have to be great.

 

[Point-of-the-Star]

So he’s part of the “CHIC” and a Dak hater but he’s got him ranked in his Top 10 in five of the seven categories?

Ranked #10 in 2 catagories and unranked in 2 more. #10 ????? Twice?????

Yes, he routinely disrespects the quality of Dak's play.

But, opinions are like rectums . . . almost all have one.

Don't you think he knows what he's talking about?

Maybe, maybe not ! His intelligence is not in question by me but his content is !

I think he knows his opinion. He routinely disses the Cowboys and their players. To be fair though there are others that have had an unrealisticlly positive narrative against the Cowboys.

In this case though Orlovsky, again, let's his dislike of all things Dallas Cowboy spew forth. But like Orlovsky's dislike of Dallas I also am spewing my dislike of Orlovsky's content.

May you and Cal Poly have a good day !

 

[Cmac]

Where did that get us in 2025?

With that point, no QB rated was a 2-way player nor did Orlavsky rate tackling skills

 

[ratkinson]

Of course not. But as you just said, you don’t have to have a rocket arm to lead the league in passing yardage. You just have to be great.

and good morning to you.

To all of those who don't have rectums please raise your hands.
