News: BTB: Dak Was Never the Problem, It Was the Receivers. Here’s the Proof

[waving monkey]

I haven’t written a post in a while, but seeing comments that continue to reflect ignorance about Dak Prescott’s performance the past two years has spurred me into action.

I humbly ask that people read the whole article and digest it before sticking with their anti-Dak beliefs.

A few inconvenient facts for those that believe Dak isn’t a franchise QB.

COMPLETION PERCENTAGE

Rookie year: 67.8

Year two: 62.9

It fell off a bit with more pressure and sacks given up by the offensive line and the absence of Zeke for six games, combined with some pretty horrendous game planning by coaches. Also, the fact that Dez was no longer a true number one receiver was a massive problem, because he was still demanding excessive targets and getting them.

That second year percentage for Dak was still better than Carson Wentz or Jared Goff.

YARDS PER COMPLETION

If you believe Dak is only good for short passes, your beliefs are wrong. Sorry, but the facts clearly blow up that myth.

COMPLETED AIR YARDS

Rookie year: 7.5

Second year: 6.6

His rookie year, Dak had an average completion percentage through the air that was higher than Tom Brady, Carson Wentz or Drew Brees.

As everyone knows, the offensive line had protection issues in 2017. Dak had less time to throw. Zeke was gone for six games.

I've been saying this for a long time. The Dak haters are just irrational.

 

[big dog cowboy]

My conclusion, based upon all the evidence I’ve laid out is that Dak is a franchise QB and Dallas knows it. And they know they needed to completely revamp their receiving corps and coaches to help him out, because last year proved that the receiving corps was clearly the problem. I think the coaches would also admit that their play calling wasn’t up to the challenges they faced last year and they will have to make dramatic changes.

There you go.

Thanks for posting this article @waving monkey!!!

All that matters in this league is wins. This is especially true at the QB position. I'd personally take Aikman over Marino any day of the week.

He will be judged by Ws and not any other stat.

Watch the video on YouTube.

Not going to Post the link. We’ve all watched it by now.

Dak has issues.

Hopefully they cleaned up his tech problems and we are good.

If not, then we know why Mike White was drafted.

How dare you state that Dak has issues!!!
He is Tom Brady,Rodgers,Rivers all rolled up in suburb QB called DAK!
The great arm accuracy,the great pocket awareness,the ultimate timing of his passes, and lets not forget his amazing footwork back there in the pocket simply the best we've ever seen!!

Dak might not be able to beat old man Carr at a accuracy contest but baby the dude can turn it on when it comes to kicking FG all game long oh mama Superbowl here we come!!!!

Regardless of which side anyone takes, we fixin to find out a lot this season

 

[waving monkey]

Aikman and Marino both had good offensive lines. But I do acknowledge your putting Dak in the company of Aikman and Marino.
Now yes these are stats and stats can not begin to tell the whole story of a game or season but does give a helpful measurements.

I have very few concerns about Dak as a fan. Yes he had a bit of a drop off in his second year by his standards but the bar was set high his first year. I'm excited to watch him play this year with some improvements to the O-line, some new weaponry and another year of experience. The Dak haters hate on him because he unceremoniously replaced their hero, Romo. Funny thing is those same fans probably hated on Romo early in his career. Haters gotta hate. The mysticism of Romo, it's crazy for some fans

lol. Do not stop there. There are Romo ‘haters’ that never truly appreciated him, who initially loved Prescott and began ‘hating’ him during his second season.

Fans are fickle.

I think most of that 5% dip could have been balls that bounced off Dez’s hands like he thought he was playing volleyball. Dak certainly was not the same player but many things were not the same last year and they all contributed to that. I hope he was humbled a little and finds his way back to being a young hungry player trying to prove himself every play.

This article is not going to change any opinions. Thanks for posting it. But nothing can change anyone’s opinion at this point. Not until they start playing games again.
