That time Dak & Andy went head to head in Accuracy Competition

I dont believe for one second that Andy Dalton would get a fair chance at winning the starting job if Dak gets signed to a monster contract. This is a typical move by the front office to make sure they don't look bad. Jerry would tell McCarthy play Dak we paid him.

Probably the best rationale I've heard yet. Good point.

No it does not.

MM will get more freedom to make decisions than any HC since Jimmy but benching Dak is not a decision that would be made by MM.


I have conceded there may be more to it than just competition. Thank you and hadenough for your comments

I'm still not sure we all have the same definition of "accuracy". It is simply my opinion the Dalton has a slight edge there. Watching 2019 Dalton "highlights". it just SEEMED to me the ball was in a better spot for the receiver. Now don't get me wrong, the WR's made GREAT plays too! I also realize it can be hard to find the LOW LIGHTS. But seemed to have a better shot at the catch and YAC based on where and how the ball was placed based on what I was watching.

I am not saying this "slight edge" (IN MY OPINION!) is enough to assume starter role.

Also not gonna look at anyone dumb stats for "accuracy". There's more to it that just placing the ball inside the arm radius...or bouncing it off someone's hands.

Did the QB put it in the best possible spot with the best possible attributes for the catch and YAC? It's not exactly a stat thing.

Imma trust MM on this.
Dalton 2019 comp pct 59.2%
Dak 2019 comp pct 65.1%
Career
Dalton 62%
Dak 65.8%

Yep....Dak got the win. I see when Dallas wins...he gets the credit? And when he loses.."but it's a team game".
I'll have to find that game's highlights...I don't remember it at all. But again....a case of using stats to prove something? Doesn't tell the whole game story. 104.6 isn't terrible is it?
I'm just simple suggesting that instead of using a targeting contest to compare the two, why not use a real NFL game in which both played.

Dallas won, but it was mostly a Zeke lead victory. Zeke has 15 carries for over a 120 yards. But the fact still remains that, Dak had a better rating than Dalton in that victory.

The video proves again that Dak is just not naturally accurate . His stats are a result of an elite offensive system . Dalton will have great numbers as well If he plays .
According to some people every QB has exactly the same offensive line, running game and receivers as Prescott has had during his entire career! They just lift his stats and regurgitate them again and again as though every other QB have all played with two hall of fame and an All Pro offensive lineman, the best ground and pound running back in the league over the past 4 years and multiple first round receivers.

How much you wanna bet right now if Dalton and Mitch Trubisky were to change places or even Brandon Weeden...how much you wanna bet these same anti-Dak idiots would be screaming that Trubisky/Weeden is better than Dak.

Some of these idiots were literally advancing the idea that Cooper Rush should be taken seriously as a replacement for Dak. And yes, some even SERIOUSLY wanted DiNucci to play heavily in preseason so that the coaches would think about starting him. No seriously...this was their stance right before the Dalton signing.

Their whole end game is to replace Dak. Period. Dalton was literally one of the worst starting QBs last year...he has been one of the worse starting QBs since Dak as entered the NFL. You could replace Dalton with Josh Rosen and they will be just as passionate.
Dalton was on the way to being cut had he not asked for his release yet somehow, per the anti-Dak crowd, the Cowboys should look at that over Prescott.

Morons.
Do you have proof of this or are you just another emotional man acting like a high school teenager caught in his feelings? If you have proof please show it otherwise you're just using feelings and you're too old to be doing all that emotional stuff over other grown men you don't know.

We are morons? Maybe you should go back and look for the stats comparisons between Dak and Dalton before you continue with the illusion that Dak is so much better. Dalton has never had the talent surrounding him that Dak has. There are several QBs that would be very good playing with the talent on the Cowboys roster. Another point that you seem to miss, Cooper Rush has never seen the field during a regular season game for the Cowboys. I am not going to argue about how good he is or isn’t, but I will argue that you don’t know how good he is or isn’t. None of us fans can honestly say that they have anything to back up their opinions concerning Rush. I was not a Rush fan, but I will admit that he has not been in the field at all and forming an opinion is impossible.

Dalton got benched for a rookie last year. What is more relevant?

Really hate all this Prescott and Dalton stuff, but I have one thing to remind people Paul Alexander.

This competition to price anything about accuracy is stupid. I have seen receivers get more points than top QBs in this exercise. It's really pathetic the Dak haters have stooped to this level.

Dalton 16 TDs and 14 picks last year really shows how much accurate he is to Dak..... could you imagine Dak having a season like that

I can not. Dak's OL and Offensive skilled players are way to good for him to put up those kinds of numbers IMO.

Dak was playing with more talented teammates. Dalton will be in shock his first few practices because he has never played with teammates this talented.

Don't start this BS with me. You already know how this will go. You should just stop with this. Move on to somebody who is interested in engaging in this type of madness with you. That ain't me.
Don't respond or put me on ignore. Just stating my opinion like everyone else. Get off your pedestal.

I invite you to watch a few of Dalton's games last season. He's not playing in his prime anymore.

Yeah we don’t always agree but that poster you quoted does post like that a lot. They act as if they’re some unbeatable final boss people should cower in fear from. It’s just a messageboard at the end of the day for better or worse lol
