Dak to Chris Sims, I'm working on getting rid of bad throwing habits

[America's Cowboy]

I didn’t know you were capable of forming sentences that weren’t crying about long retired QBs. What’s this about now?

Once again, why are you allowed to post after personal attacks and name calling?

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Bad throwing habits he learned from playing silly games with garrett .

Once again, I’m shocked that there are now two posts that you have made where you are not embarrassing yourself with your obsession with long-retired quarterbacks. Instead you seem to have pivoted to spamming threads with off topic posts...

 

[Rockport]

He was better this year at not holding on to the ball for so long. His accuracy is maddening sometimes, missing easy throws with wrs that are so wide open. I don't know if you can teach accuracy but that's my main concern with his.

30 td’s only 11 int’s. 66% completion rate and had the most drops by WR’s of any QB

 

[Bob-Lillys-War]

Getting rid of bad throwing habits.

1. Stop training with coach Garrett - check

2. Train with a specialist in the offseason. -check

3. Have a HC who has worked with 3 HOF qbs - check

You don't have to answer. It's crystal clear what is going on here just like it was on the old official boards...and why.

It’ll all be okay. Dak will sign a big contract and you’ll get that novelty bow tie his agency promised you for spamming this board.

I wished that this video would have also left the building, along with the old coaching staff. I've seen this video enough. It's like the "Hot Boys" thing.

It’s not anything like the Hotboyz crap. That’s marketing. This is all about Dak working to get better.

You are right that our Wrs led the league in drops but I would like to know what constitute a drop? Is it hitting them in the hands or Wr reaching back trying to catch it from a pass thrown behind them. I hope Dak does improve especially his accuracy because it was not good last year on those crossing routes.

I think as a general rule it's any pass that a receiver can reasonably be expected to catch. That would include imperfect passes, but not passes that are so far off that a receiver has to make an extraordinary effort to get his hands on.

Agreed that working on the timing on crossing patterns is something Dak needs to improve on. That is his biggest accuracy issue in my mind, and because it is really a timing issue, he should be able to get better. That's not to say he can't throw an off target pass on other routes, but every QB throws some off target passes.

In your opinion, which BTW, I could go all day everyday and not hear and be just fine. I'm sick of Hotboys crap. I'm sick of this video so no, your wrong. It's exactly the same to me and since it is my opinion that I am voicing, your opinion on it is less then relevant.

youre not wrong! But Im not sure Dak promoted his end of things like Dlaw and company

Most sights that track drops use fairly narrow criteria and while still subjective, strive to eliminate incomplete passes that were not 100% the receivers fault. Here's a couple different definitions to constitute a "dropped" pass versus an incomplete pass.

passes that end up being incomplete but should have been easily caught by the receiver under normal circumstances. Typically, these are the clear misses such as when a receiver is wide open and the ball is caught in his hands but he is unable to maintain control.

drops are "incomplete passes where the receiver SHOULD have caught the pass with ORDINARY effort." Basically, we're talking about blatant drops,......"Only use this if the receiver is 100 percent at fault and no one else can be blamed for the incompletion," ESPN tells its game charters. "Pass interference that wasn't called/passes thrown just outside the receiver's reach, etc., are NOT drops."


If anything, receivers would probably have more drops if judged by the fans perception. There's a lot of passes, that while doesn't meet the criteria for a drop, should have been caught.

 

[Nav22]

If he really wants to improve, he’d best lobby for 16 games against the Giants and Skins. Otherwise more regression is coming...

You’re just a caricature at this point.

Keep embarrassing yourself while @percyhoward destroys you with data proving you to be DEAD wrong.

I'm not suggesting that. I'm suggesting that I'm tired of seeing this video. While I understand that it is a piece on his training technique, pregame warm up type exercise, it's been turned into a running joke on the web and even in short TV pieces from various sources. I would think that anybody who liked Dak and is a Cowboy Fan would share in that opinion but perhaps not.

well considering the one of the knocks on both cooper and Cobb were drops before they were cowboys and Gallup had his share as well its safe to say they had a role. Ill say its in the eye of the beholder if you ask pappy they were probably all Daks fault ask some others here its on the receivers I guess its individual perception.

I like Dak but he can take strides to make this a non issue. That said there were some behind throws that should and could have been caught and some even turned into picks.There were also catches that with better ball placement could have been bigger plays. Its all of the above to some extent

 

[JoeKing]

Dak is clearly making progress from one year to the next. I expect that trend to continue. In 2020 we should expect him to be a more polished QB.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

just fix the crossing route issue and things will be fine.The receivers certainly could have helped him out a bit more. Led league in dropped passes

Dak short career will be summed up with very few words...."It was a catchable pass"

By every metric he is one of the most accurate qb’s in the league.

 

[408Cowboy]

Beginning to show up on the field?



This will be his 5th year correct?

Great because about the time he figures it out it will be time for him to retire.

That sounds familiar
