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

[Kwyn]

i would like to believe that .... but i don't think someone who is has to train their body to do so differently from what they have grown up doing is going to reach a point where its natural. when everything is right, the trained action functions well. when mental or physical stress is introduced the natural tendencies take over.

Practice and repetition are the biggest keys to athletic success.

 

[Kwyn]

Yeah, he’s only going into his 5th season as starter. He should already be where he needs to be. He will never be on target as much as he should and we want him to be.

I’m confused by comments that give him bad marks for accuracy.

He is 4th in career completion percentage ... in NFL history..

Drew Brees is #1 all time

What metric are you using? Is it just the eyeball test?

Here is where Cowboy QB’s rank all time

4 - Dak
7 - Romo
38 - Troy
54 - Danny
95 - Roger
143 - Morton
173 - Meredith
181 - Lebaron

 

[Corso]

Maybe it was Moore? I know it wasn't Garrett.

It was the QB guru he goes to see in the off-season.
Kitna didn't do much.

Detractors will find a hundred reasons to dispute this.
"He dinks and dunks"
"Against only the Giants and Commanders"
"Stats don't matter"
"I know what I see"

And other whatnot that shows they won't be dissuaded no matter what.

Most SB winning QB's made their 1st SB start within 5 years service.

That has nothing to do with talent because Big Ben and Russell in their first Super Bowls were just along for the ride. They were hardly what you would consider a Super Bowl QB.

it’s just bias.

“he dinks and dunks”

someone posts his air yards


“He misses wide open receivers”


Someone posts all the drops


“I know what I saw”


Doesn’t matter what anyone posts

What tha hell?
Did you just steal my ish from 2 posts ago?

Dude.

I thought the defense got more blame then they deserved.

Zeke sucked.

Garrett sucked.

But... The Eagles sucked worse then we did and we somehow lost the division to those scrubs and any legit QB should've gotten this team to the playoffs with the advantages we had compared to Philadelphia but, not only did we lose the division to them, we also failed to score a TD against them..

The defense got more blamed then it deserved? How much blame should a defense get that doesn't generate turnovers and doesn't make plays in the 4th quarter of games?

Any quarter!

Seriously- nobody even stops to consider that this team was placed on Dak's shoulders and all the weight was upon it because this team could not and would not do him any favors.

This is on-target percentage (min 300 att):
1 Brees
2 Carr
3 Garoppolo
4 Cousins
5 Prescott

This is average target depth (min 300 att):
1 Winston
2 Wilson
3 Prescott
4 J Allen
5 Fitzpatrick

Dak's the only guy on both lists.

How much has Prescott improved as a passer?

Bad Throw Percentage
2018 17.3% (20th best)
2019 14.8% (6th best)

Avg Depth of Target
2018 7.5 yards (23rd)
2019 9.3 yards (5th)

His passes were 20% deeper in 2019, and at the same time he was more accurate.

This is good stuff. Thanks ph!

Imagine if his receivers didn't have the most drops in the league.

They seemed to be decent in 3rd quarters but I can't confirm that. Usually by that time teams were tired of whooping us so they took the foot off the gas lol.

No. The D and the Special Teams always gave the O the worst of the worst all 4 quarters.
The O and Dak was put behind the 8-Ball from start to finish from their cohorts.

Stillwater runs deep.

Romo talked about changing arm angles and perfecting his throwing motion all the way into his 30’s. And it actually made differences in his game, I don’t know why people think after 5 years you are what you are.

Exactly......If you recall, he would say he tweaked a little something every offseason but would never tell us what it was (lol).

NO!
When you get to year 5, you have nothing left to improve!
You are what you are like a rock.
An unmoving, unthinking, unmotivated rock.
