Can someone explain this?

[starcity214]

After all this bs you just typed, I have the same question for you that I started this thread with.... Is this Dak throwing deep passes that people said he couldn’t? That’s all I wanna know, for now. Can you explain this to me? I’m not claiming he’s a Hall Of Fame Quarterback. I’m not saying he will undoubtedly win a SB. I’m not proclaiming he’s gonna have a 5000 yard 30 tds and 6 interceptions type season either. That remains to be seen. But I do believe this videos shows Dak Prescott tossing deep throws on the money in live games. Am I correct?

Prescott's problem is mostly mental.

If you go back to his college days , he has always been this way..

He FEARS interceptions , and while that can be a good thing , it also makes him a very limited QB..

Throwing deep is risky , but it's a nessesary risk.

We are in the bottom 5 in the league since Prescott took over in deep passing..

So while he "can" throw deep , he is mentally unable to do so..

That being said , Dak does seem to "wind up" on longer throws and if you see guys like Watson or Mahomes , they effortlessly throw bombs with the flick of a wrist..

So what can I tell you?

I know there have been succesfull guys with "average" arm strength in the league before but they did it by throwing guys open (throwing with anticipation to a spot) but Dak seems to struggle with that also and his conservative nature doesn't help either (needs to see a guy wide open before pulling the trigger) so I don't know..

Too many things to fix.

Prescott's problem is not mental it is technique and that can be fixed

It's not about deep sideline throws. Every quarterback can do that.

It's about intermediate throws into tight windows. He simply has no confidence to do it.

Which would explain why Cowboys were last in NFL in pass attempts beyond 20 yards from LOS.

I’m not sure our plan is to attempt to fix it but rather work or scheme around it.

I’m surprised that there are posters on this board that still don’t understand that Dak is a 2nd year QB, and what being a 2nd year QB entails in the NFL.

It’s really quite mind boggling that people expect a sophomore QB to throw with anticipation and throw receivers open consistently, when most young QB’s can’t do that on a regular basis.

That’s something that is developed over time.

The only 2nd year QB I saw that played like a vet was Dan Marino. You have to give these guys time to develop. Dak has shown a lot in 2 short years.

I think it’s fair to say Wentz did ok his second season...to put it mildly. Yes young QBs need time...but you want to see a steady arrow pointing up with progress.

Yea. But Wentz almost looked like a bust his rookie season. Until Philly put the other pieces in place to help him do better in his second season. Daks entire team regressed in his second season. Also people fail to realize that Wentz was drafted to be the Starter and be built upon. Dak was a prospect 4th round quarterback that stepped in whe the 2 quarterbacks ahead of him were injured. And there’s no denying he did a damned good job. Now that he’s our guy to build around let’s see if the pieces come together.

Still arguing against your strawmen?

How are you not embarrassed to type out these pathetic excuses?

Nope. I never got an answer to my question. I’ve heard all the other bs opinions. But not one answer.

 

[keysersoze]

It’s the truth... Just because your personal agenda won’t allow you to admit it. It’s 100% truth!!

I couldn’t disagree more. Wentz had some rough times as a rookie, but it was abundantly clear what his future held. He passed the eyeball test with flying colors. We must not have watched the same player I did.

You could argue Goff looked like a bust as a rookie...but not Wentz

You can say he did okay but so did Dak in his first year. In fact he did more than okay. Sometime there are roadblocks. Troy Aikman looked awful his first year. Good thing there wasn't no internet then.

Difference of opinion. Wentz didn’t look good to me. Until he got comfortable with his supporting cast. The Eagles entire team progressed. The entire Cowboys team regressed. That was more damaging and helped cause Dak’s decline. But some refuse to admit that for personal reasons. Let’s see what this season holds now that the team is supposed to be built to suit him now.

EXACTLY!

But yet Dak is rated as one of the best throwing into tight windows. If he couldn't throw into tight windows then his interceptions would be on Eli level

Again.... Truthfullness on this subject doesn’t bode well with the agenda.

Man, you have really jumped the shark with this one.

No player in the history of the NFL, ever, has benched themselves for anything other than injury.

No player is going to tell the coach, hey coach, play the other guy and I’ll ride the bench.

You blaming Dak for the COACHES and front office decision to ride with Dak is one of the most absurd and ludicrous things I have ever heard on a football message board. It is beyond laughable.

We get it, you don’t like Dak and don’t think he is good enough. That’s ok to think that way. But making absolutely absurd comments like blaming Dak for not benching himself, that just takes hate and unjustified blame shifting to new levels.

I wonder if Patriot fans were yelling at Brady when he replaced Bledsoe ? After all Bledsoe was the starter and actually had led the Patriots to a SB. lol
