do you really care about handful or trolls?

Dak will be our QB for the next 10 years. And he will continue to make them looks dumb.

Don't care at all about the same trolls. Gets tiring hearing their daily Dak drivel though. Just can't reply to them in kind without getting banned.

Disagreeing with someone isnt debunking them and acting like you are makes you the troll. Stop being combative. It's well known around the league that deep ball is one of if not Daks biggest short coming. He's needs to get better at it. He misses it more than he puts it on the money.

Ok troll so how many times did Dak and Gallup miss a deep pass last year? Either answer the question or shut up.

Prescott was one of the best deep ball passers in the NFL. He ranked as the fifth-most accurate quarterback with completing 46.5% of his deep balls, but he didn't take many deep shots throwing just 43, or a miniscule 8.8% of his total attempts according to Pro Football Focus.Jun 6, 2019

Another troll debunked

What is the league success rate on deep throws?

100% of all deep throws that have been caught have been completed.

Eanwen · Aug 13, 2019

Dak's completion percent was about 45% and if memory serves that's about league average. He just needs to throw deep more often. I'd like to see him reach 50% AND throw about 120+ deep balls this season, but if I had to pick which one I want him to do I'd take the 120+.

Jerry should forget Zeke and redo Pollard's deal right now. Make him the highest paid role player ever.

texbumthelife · Aug 13, 2019

I gotta be honest, you're cracking me up. I don't think you even know what a troll is. I appreciate your eagerness though. Your like that angry little boy who gets mad at you and tries to swing, so you just chuckle and hold him back while you sip your beer and talk with the adults.

Put some air under the ball for gosh sakes.

But they'll still have that CowboyCurtis from Pee-Wee's playhouse, who they can always fondly compare you to, in there fond remembrance, regardless of yer' Stasi type of silencing those of a superior opinion over that of which you tout,through yer' lame& feebled usage of the ignore feature

No need in attempting to respond, as I've banished you& yer' idiot opinions to the bleak& barren wasteland in the land of IGNORE long ago,,,

Pro Football Focus?

Pro Football Focus also said a few months ago the Cowboys shouldn’t sign Dak to a big extension and even argued the best long term decision might be for the Cowboys to cut bait.

So he is right that Dak missed "a ton"?

Ill ask again, how many bombs did Dak and Gallup not hit on last year? Waiting

I’m not doing your research for ya bro.

Idgit · Aug 13, 2019

Looks like Pollard actually slowed down a bit on that LVE catch.

Doesn't matter. He caught it anyway. Deep balls against tight man coverage downfield is where Dak needs to make his improvements. Do that, and this offense will roll.

And, importantly, his WRs need to worry more about getting downfield and not losing speed looking for the ball too soon. Good things usually happen if you get to slow down to correct for a ball in flight. WR has the advantage locating the ball and adjusting because the DB has to react. And you can always get interfered with while making the catch and usually get away with interfering with the defender enough to keep it getting picked if it's too far under thrown. It's much harder to get under a ball that went past you while you slowed down looking back for it too soon--which Gallup did his fair share of last year. The fact that Dak was hitting Cooper and not Gallup on those balls shows you it probably wasn't the QB as much as it was the guy he was throwing deep to.

He did miss a bunch of those to Gallup last year. How is a go route the receivers fault? He didn't run a 3.81 to catch up to a ball thrown 10 yards too far. Let's call it like it is.

Because even on go routes, there are still steps a receiver takes to get a release and get past coverage. If done incorrectly more often than not it will look like the QBs fault because the ball is being thrown to a specific spot between the covering corner and the safety help.

TheCount · Aug 13, 2019

My goodness, some of y'all are absolutely exhausting.

Nice route running by the rook, looking forward to seeing him do more.

Unlikely he's going to be getting a ton of releases on a LB split out that far, with no safety help, but entertaining for practice.

Oh yah, because that high flying, boring, conservative Garrett offense calls soooo many deep balls.

Maybe Moore can take our offense into the 21st century.

Simply put. If he wants a big payday, he HAS to hit these during the regular season.

He missed a ton of these to Gallup last season.

This thread is about Pollard and the LBs.

There are dozens of threads about Dak. There is one about the pass to Pollard with Jaylon covering. Go find that thread.
