Video: Why Dak Prescott is Actually the Most Accurate QB in the NFL | NFL Network

[LittleD]

So the overall stats that contain everything "lie", but a few bad throws that you can visually remember "don't lie"?

Think about what you're saying here.

I reviewed almost every game from last year. He missed wide open WR's because he was nervous in the pocket. If he doesn't get his first receiver open by 3 feet, he tends to just dump it where no one can catch it. You rarely get 3 feet open in the NFL these days.

 

[Billyd]

I always thought Waving monkey was Jerry Jones incognito,now I'm positive its Dak Prescott!

Here's the reality there WM .....Dak will be remembered as another Jerry Failed venture and by this time next year we will be here posting on our new QB whoever he might end up being......Dak Prescott=Tim Tebow....sorry Tim....no insult intended....

Opinions vary..I see A qb that can beat you several diff ways..Give him back the rg and the best oline in the Nfl and two solid blocking Tight ends and you get a solid chance of eating that!!

And yet these season-long statistics, compiled by the total passes he made all season, shows exactly the opposite.

No offense to you, but I'll place much more value on what an entire season's worth of evidence shows over some missed passes that someone remembers and ones that every quarterback in the league makes.

 

[DiResta]

i think its safe to say that if Dak plays well this season most will (again) have a more positive opinion of him but if there are ugly games it will reinforce the narrative that he needs ideal conditions
personally i loved the pick but didnt expect him to ever start over a healthy Romo
i think hes proven to be a hard worker and leader which makes me feel that with help he can be good enough

what i dont like is to see him having to carry a bad team because i have serious doubts that he can

 

[LittleD]

So forcing a ball to an unopened target is better than throwing it away? This also includes bad routes or reads from a WR. Not including the clear bad throws of course.

Brady doesn't have all pro WR's and he seems to get guys to catch in tight spaces now doesn't he. Oh, and he's not the only one.

Fair enough...we can agree to disagree. That's okay. That's what makes a horse race.

 

[CowboyGil]

Haters gonna hate. Throw all the facts and stats you want to at them. I think this season will be more indicative of which QB he's going to be: more like the 2016 version or the 2017 version. I feel like 2017 was more what his rookie season should've looked like.

And this will come off as insulting to some, but frankly, I don't trust people who have watched Prescott (or any player for that matter) that have a clear bias likely before even viewing the tape.

Tom Brady is arguably the greatest QB of all time. Further, you vastly underrate the talent he's throwing to.

Why dont you get him Julio Jones, another Zeke , spend another 100 million on the offline and while your doing all this remember it still wont amount to Dak being able to move the team downfield with his arm....don't know where you were bud last season but tell me who was the QB that went 15 Q of offense without 1 TD?

Guess it was some other QB leading us out of the PLAYOFFS!!!!

I could have used Brees or Rogers as each of them has the same knack for hitting WR's in close quarters. Dak may get there just like Romo did but,
it's going to take some years to do it. Dak was a 4th round draft pick for a reason.

 

[Billyd]

I don't ever buy into that duel threat because it didn't work so well for RG3 did it. Running QB's are NFL (Not for Long) in the NFL. Defenses love
to break them in half. Who knows what will happen to Zeke. He can't stay out of clubs or away from bimbos.

I agree really. I THINK my statement there was if nfl qb, use your legs to make plays, not runs...Dak is smart about it, has alot of experience doing it. YOU have to admit it though would the cowboys have done as well with a statue back there in 2016?

Im a fan as long as he doesnt over do it, and the number of runs decrease...If the play is breaking down and he slides well, and he does, he will be fine..Dak probly has more chance of getting hurt staying in the backfield and taking sacks.

COWBOYS blew that chance by not reinserting Romo in the the offense in 2016. REMEMBER the plan was to have Romo teach him..I still wish they would figure out a way to do that.

I'll just say this...Brady, Brees and Rogers are not evaluated by stats these days...they are evaluated by leading their teams to the playoffs and getting to SB's... just saying.

These are the Stats of the MOST ACCURATE QB in the NFL last season......Play close attention to his awesome 8 games under 200 yards passing....his 1 game over 300 yards and what happened to Dak after week 9 when the real QB and leader of our team Mr. Zeke went out .....Dak simply took the team on his shoulders and overcame and rode us right into our living room couches for the Playoffs.....

If he does it when the defense is backing up, it usually works. If the defense is coming forward, he's toast.

 

[LittleD]

COWBOYS blew that chance by not reinserting Romo in the the offense in 2016. REMEMBER the plan was to have Romo teach him..I still wish they would figure out a way to do that.

Wishing and hoping will not bring him back. That ship has sailed.

LOL.........ok buddy. Dak is not a running QB . He is a dual threat QB. And they arent all like RG3. Watch football much? Dak has been killing teams with the dual threat.

 

[Stash]

Brady doesn't have all pro WR's and he seems to get guys to catch in tight spaces now doesn't he. Oh, and he's not the only one.

And Dak was rated #1 in the league in doing it?

Fair enough...we can agree to disagree. That's okay. That's what makes a horse race.

Can't ask for more money than that.

 

[Billyd]

Why dont you get him Julio Jones, another Zeke , spend another 100 million on the offline and while your doing all this remember it still wont amount to Dak being able to move the team downfield with his arm....don't know where you were bud last season but tell me who was the QB that went 15 Q of offense without 1 TD?

I was there watching every game. I Actually got good tape with backfield views from offense and defense. I knew where the issues were pretty quickly, along with seeing Daks lapses in accuracy on short touch passes, and throwing out of the pocket in 2016..So I was not shocked, only shocked as to why more people didnt see the global picture..You want a nice easy package for your blame, i want to fix the right issues and see the potential he showed in 2016. EITHER WAY, 22-10 is not a bad consulation prize sport!!

 

[Captain-Crash]

He missed wide open WR's because he was nervous in the pocket.

more like terrified with pressure. He's very reluctant to step up in the pocket and when he does and gets pressured he accuracy get's worse.
