I'm sick and tired of fans pushing false narratives...
"Under pressure all game"
Dak was the 16th most sacked QB in the league last year!! Not even close to being the most sacked!!
Wentz, Wilson, Brady , Stafford were sacked more times than Dak and they didn't turn into Tim Tebow..
What does Dak need? An OLine that doesn't give up any sacks? Get real..
Also, the Oline gets alot of blame but I think most of the sacks were on Dak because he was gun-shy and held on to the ball on some plays, stepped into sacks on other plays ,(instead of maneuvering in the pocket) and since teams didn't fear getting burnt deep they went blitz crazy on third downs..
teams don't Blitz guys like Brady or Rodgers often because they make you pay...
Some fans really don't understand football..
Or your post is not filled with facts, but rather opinion that is presented as facts.
I actually think Percy’s data makes it pretty clear what causes Dak to play bad.
If you also read what he is stating clearly. You would see that Dak has been terrible in games with an abnormal amount of pressure. As in, worse than most QB’s are during those situations. Which I can’t argue with.
The data shows that with good protection, Dak plays as well as just about any QB in the league. And with poor protection, he is worst than most QB’s.
What it means is, Dak needs to improve his play during games where he is facing a lot of pressure. It’s rather clear from both percy’s Stats and watching the games. Dak needs to get better at that if he wants long term success in the NFL.
Your opinion that Dak gives up an inordinate amount of sacks due to his fault is just an opinion and has no basis in reality. You cite that he gives up some sacks due to poor pocket presence and holding the ball, but then fail to also discuss all of the sacks Dak prevents due to his size and scrambling ability. Times where he escapes the pocket to avoid pressure and makes plays. Times where he gets hit and breaks the tackle to make plays.
Insinuating that an inordinate amount of sacks given up are Dak’s fault is ridiculous unless you actually have evidence to prove it.
