Dak can make every throw

[Bizwah]

I've come to the realization the hate for Prescott has nothing to do with football because he keeps on doing the things the haters say he can't.

I think some people just want to complain. And, Cowboy fans are notoriously hard on their QBs while we have them. It seems they don't achieve "legend" status until after they're gone.

*Romo was a great QB, but didn't really get any love until after he retired.
*Aikman was railed on early in his career. There were a bunch of people that wanted Steve Walsh to start over Aikman. Folks also thought Beurlein was a better option in the playoffs. I can remember fans booing Aikman at the end of his career. A man that won three SBs, suffered numerous concussions, and sacrificed personal stats for this team.
*Danny White led the NFL in passing a couple of seasons. He led the Cowboys to three consecutive NFC championship games....yet fans were harsh with him too.

Dak seems to get a lot of criticism to be sure.....but, it seems that's just a part of being the Cowboy's QB.

Eye test brotha

Lol yeh eye test both defenses sucked but Commanders were worse

 

[Kevinicus]

Did he throw a 15 yard out today?

Grasping.

 

[Qcard]

The myth that he couldn’t make every throw has been completely busted.

I’m so sorry, haters. I am so, SO sorry.

His career completion % was 66.1 entering today. His career yards/attempt was 7.4 entering today. Both very good figures.

His haters bleated all offseason that those numbers meant nothing.

“EYE TEST!”

“JUST WATCH THE GAMES!”

“HE CAN’T THROW DEEP!”

“DINK AND DAK!”

Oh, and “it was just the Giants!” is not any kind of valid excuse. Dropping DIMES is dropping DIMES, no matter who’s in coverage. It’s not like he was throwing screens out there that our receivers were taking to the house.

I’m sure most of his haters feel like complete dummies right about now... at least the ones who have a shred of football knowledge in their bodies. Because even if they still want to argue that Dak was “average” from 2016-18, they were also SO SURE that Dak could never take that next step.

Welp, it’s early, of course... but it looks like Dak is poised to have a fantastic year in Moore’s pass-first offense.

Now, if these Dak haters are true DALLAS COWBOYS fans, they’ll learn to embrace our franchise QB instead of looking to tear him down every chance they get.

It takes a big man to say, “I was wrong.” I’m sure most of us will be gracious about it. I was dead wrong when I said we shouldn’t bench Drew Bledsoe for Tony Romo, because I thought we’d be throwing in the towel in 2006 by going with Romo. Whoops!

Great Post...
I was dead wrong when I thought we should b have started Romo once he was healthy but I was wrong and Dak keeps proving me wrong... it's actually strengthens fandom when you can accept the team was right after a disagreement has been proven

 

[Kevinicus]

Grasping.

How? That is exactly the kind of throw most of us have our doubts about.

Romo played under bad coordinators, he covered alot of their deficiencies with his experience. Prescott is a winner and is proving people wrong.

[Runwildboys]

He had a perfect passer rating..what would be better for you.? Some of you guys are hard to understand. Could the ball be six inches this way or that way? And if so..did you watch any other football today?

Do you really not read the sarcasm in cern's post? "Aikman said so. So it must be true."

 

[BigCatMonaco]

793 yards
8 touchdowns
Zero interceptions


That’s daks last two regular season games.

In 3 or his last 5 regular season games he’s had the following performances.


455 yards 3 TD in a week 14 win vs Philly
387 yards and 4 TD in a week 17 win vs NYG
405 yards and 4 TD in today’s week 1 win vs NYG

In between the two giants games, he won a playoff game.

 

[ScipioCowboy]

He has to set his feet, but yes. People have unrealistic expectations. They see Aaron Rodgers flick his wrist falling backwards and the ball travels sixty yards. You can count the number of players with that kind of arm talent on one hand in a fifteen year period. Dak can make all the throws. He can read defenses. Accuracy is where he struggles, but again, that’s where footwork comes in.

Dak made nice deep throws today. He was making bad ones last year. There's no need to deny either fact.

 

[America's Cowboy]

You and others have to really stop using the bogus language y’all do. Who the expletive wants Dak to fail? Nobody does people just think he’s average but that isn’t wanting him to fail. 2019 has too many people on this stupid team this or that bs. Nobody hates or wants this dude to fail by saying he’s been an average qb up until this point.

Dak hasn't been average. He's been way above average. You Dak critics simply have refused to realize that for whatever reason.

 

[Vanilla2]

Might be time to hop on the dak train to touchdown....

Uh

Ville.

No town

Yeah touchdowntown

We’ll agree to disagree. I would be surprised if Dak has similar stats week 2.

 

[BigCatMonaco]

Dak made nice deep throws today. He was making bad ones last year. There's no need to deny either fact.

Dak Prescott on throws of 20 yards or more:

18-52
735 yards
8 TD’s
2 INT’s
106.57 passer rating (league average on 20+ yard throws is 81)

when Dak throws the ball 20+ yards:

• Top-10 in pass yards per attempt.
• 7th in touchdowns (7), pass TD% (13.0), and interceptions (2).
• 6th in rating (107.6)

From 30+ yards, Dak Prescott’s stats now look like the following:

• 5th in touchdowns (4).
• 7th in pass TD% (14.3).
• 1st in interceptions (0).
• 2nd in rating (118.8).

People need to grow up and remove hate or haters from their lexicon when addressing fellow fans. It has been overplayed.

 

[Philmonroe]

Dak hasn't been average. He's been way above average. You Dak critics simply have refused to realize that for whatever reason.

If he wasn't average and was this QB most of the time he wouldn't be so polarizing point blank. He isn't some wild person so it sure isn't any off the field stuff that has so many on both sides in dang near equal numbers. People like you seriously need to get off the Dak war train. If critic means calling out average play from him just like I've said many times already today he played great so be it. Now what?

What people fail to understand with stats is that they don't quantify the *opportunities* the QB had, only the *results* of those opportunities.

Teams have been daring Dak to beat them deep since 2017, and he couldn't do it enough to beat *them*.

Today he did. Two nice balls to Cooper and Gallup. Should have gotten Olawale too, but he got some real rush that put Olawale farther downfield than makes for a good throw.

Show me all the QBs *missing* the same number of wide open shots Dak missed.

 

[Cap12]

The eye test tells me he still throws behind receivers sometimes (and got bailed out by Cobb, Jarwin and Gallup once each), but over all, his accuracy seems to have improved, You can tell he put in a lot of time in the offseason. He had a great game today and despite a couple of drops, his receivers gave him the help he needed. Kudos Dak!!!! Let's keep the Dak attack rolling!
