10 Years of Rookie Preseason Passing Brilliance

[ScipioCowboy]

What were Hudley's stats? Better than 156 PR?

He's a Packers fan.

I'm giddy as the next Cowboys fan with Dak's play in the preseason, but I'm not going to go overboard. However, why I'm encouraged by his play is because we're not starting him. We will let him take this experience and then give him a clipboard and let him learn behind Romo.
We won't rush him, and we don't have to (assuming Romo doesn't get hurt). And hopefully with the extra time on the bench, he can learn and discuss situations with Romo so that when it's his turn (maybe in two years), he can pick up where he left off.

we here at the Zone have decided he is the heir to the throne

The average passer rating of these QB in real games is in the low 70's.

I remembered reading a long time ago that Ryan Leaf had done well in his first preseason action, and thought he had it all figured out, so I looked it up.

Ryan Leaf, first preseason game: 20 attempts, 14 completions, 116 yards, 2 TDs, 0 Ints, Passer rating 117.92

For anyone interested in what Leaf did after that one game, he had a 67.9 rating the rest of his first preseason.

Hundley in four games:

45-of-65 passes for 730 yards, 7 TDs 1 INT
129.7 QB rating

Dak in two games:

22-of-27 338 Yards 6 TDs 0 INT
154.5 QB rating

I doubt it would hurt much, but I wonder what the rating would be with the pick he threw. I mean, it was a pick. Just overturned by a late hit that did not affect the actual play.
Again, the rating would still be awesome. Just curious.
Wouldn't surprise if it's still higher.

Dak is a gamer, no doubt it looks like he can ball out at the NFL level.... but please, let's wait on the anointing oil at least until he plays Seattle Thursday before breaking out the definitive Starter or QB controversy talk. It's not like Prescott has had a near flawless training camp like the first two pre-season games have produced.

Still like him better than Wetz, Cook, Hackeberg, Brisset ect.

No.

 

[Biggems]

Romo has never had an INT nullified by roughing the passer, and has only had 4 INT called back due to penalty in his career.

INT called back due to penalty (as a % of total INT)
Rodgers 12.3
Rivers 5.9
Brees 4.9
Rthlsbrgr 4.8
EManning 4.0
PManning 3.6
Romo 3.4
Brady 3.3

Rodgers gets tons of love from the refs, it is disgusting to watch

 

[Section446]

Yeah, not sure that I've very seen a more impressive start to a career, still way too early to get excited though.

 

[Deep_South]

Maybe Rodgers just takes a shot when a penalty is obvious, knowing if it is picked it won't matter.

Yep, if we still give him the rest of that drive after the pick, that rating is still
142..9

Lol...not bad

I think GB in general gets a lot of help from the refs with calls and non-calls. How many times could they have called roughing the passer on GB in our playoff game?

 

[Clove]

I doubt it at this stage -- they scouted these players, looked at all the film that was available, and made a decision.

Just like I doubt teams spent a lot of time lamenting the fact that they didn't draft Brett Hundley last season in the 5th round who had maybe the best rookie QB pre-season ever.

If Dak is all pro in 3-4 years and their guys are struggling, then absolutely yeah sure.

I think there's a reason the Cowboys latched on to the guy. They scouted him, I think they brought him in, they really saw something in the guy. For me, I was just hoping/expecting Dak to show some signs of being a good back up QB, and looking to get a star stud in next year's draft. NOW, I'm looking at perhaps the starter in a year, maybe two. I just have a feeling about this dude.

He made every possible throw you can make in the NFL. Screens/deep ins, bombs, slants, out routes, escape pressure, stand pat under pressure. I'm just wondering what I'm missing here, because surely this guy can't be this good. I've watched the game 3 times already since last night, and I'm at a loss.

 

[kevm3]

Dak is the real deal, bottom line. He's throwing excellent passes and doing it against other team's first team defenses. Granted it is preseason, but the guy is showing the tools. My only concern is if he's going to get the proper development to take his game to that next level. Cassell saying he was unable to find the QB coach here concerns me. At least we have Romo here to mentor him.

4-5 years in college allows for stronger fundamentals, less weaknesses, more polish, better body.

Like an NBA point guard that spent all 4 years in college. Just a lot more prepared, and polished.

Did Hundley play with the 1s?

 

[superonyx]

This thread seems like one of those that want people to draw the conclusion that it doesn't matter how good Prescott has been because some of the other good guys are bums and some of the great QB's looked bad at first.

I don't care about how some guy named Brett Hundley did in preseason for another team..
I think Hundley is as relevant to the success or failure of Prescott as my decision to have pizza for dinner is.

Tony Romo is our QB and our immediate success or failure is in his hands.
Prescott has been very promising and my eyes tell me this, not just his statistical QB rating.

If you can't do it in the preseason then you can't do it. So he has shown us we didn't waste the pick. Let's hope for an Aaron Rodgers situation where he learns for a few years and comes in ready to play at a high level.

We need some consistent defense to go anywhere anyway.

It helps if you can actually throw the football.
