Well in the NFL I think they measure accuracy by completion percentage and Dak is at 65.2 over his time here, and David was at 59.7, so in the REAL game of football (not just the target game) Dak is more accurate...

completion percentage can be affected by too many factors to be a judge of accuracy. dropped balls, poor routes, and in some cases outstanding catches all affect completion percentage. great defensive coverage also affects it.

Disclaimer: I know not all INTs are Romo's fault, but... wow, talk about an eye opener! Plus, these are only from 2012 - 2015. That's not including the ones from 2006 - 2011.

I will not bag on Prescott but I will point out that this seemingly irrelevant type of video is FAR more topic-worthy than the sports talk <expletive> videos that get posted regularly in my opinion.

What exactly is so “eye opening”? Romo threw 45 interceptions over that 4 year period, which is not an alarming number at all. Even if you break it down by interception percentage (since Romo missed games in 2015) his percentage is still well below average. So I’m curious what exactly you’re babbling about here.
The reason you can’t find the video of Eli’s 70 interceptions from 2012-2015 is because it exceeds Youtube’s storage limits.

And don't forget the 98 TDs over the same span.

Sorry, but anyone who thinks studio passing means a darn thing is a moron. I watched Aikman lose every "QB competition" he ever competed in. He did ok.

Daks Combine workout,surprised he was even drafted in the 4th round. Got that Free agent air around him at the combine as all of his passes were high or off target and 0 timing on target ...only Jerry saw the stud QB in Noodles!

Dak 2 year player, Carr 4 year player
Dak record 9-7 ----- Carr record 6-10

Anyone care that Foles was a 3rd round pick? Not now.

I don't believe that you can work on accuracy, its something that you either have or you don't. Kind of like working on arm strength or scrambling ability, you are either Roger the Dodger or you aren't.

Accuracy is totally a skill that can worked on. Footwork, posture, release mechanics, etc. Dak's biggest hole in his game was his footwork coming out of college. Footwork also can add velocity to throws along with proper mechanics and posture alignment. As with pitching in baseball ability to repeat a motion is key, if your delivery is unsound from the start everything afterwards is a crap shoot.
