The article contains videos, charts, and explanations of the methodology. Here is the text from Dak's review:
The reigning mediocrity of Jason Garrett was not enough to prevent Dak Prescott from landing the #6 spot on the DBP. Best known for his hip warmups, Prescott has also been inconsistent as a deep passer, ranking outside the top 10 in even numbered seasons and inside the top 10 in odd numbered years. Guess what year it was for him…
Much of this has to do with the fact that Prescott was the most accurate passer on throws of 21-25 yards (88.24%), though he also finished 10th on throws of 26-30 yards. In addition, he finished inside the top 10 both from clean pockets and under pressure, and was tied for second in accuracy against edge pressure. His accuracy to open receivers improved from 29th in 2018 to 9th in 2019, while his tight window accuracy improved from 13th to 6th.
No matter how much talent the Cowboys gave Prescott, the employment of Garrett as the head coach completely held this team back and wasted a fourth-round rookie QB contract by failing to make it past the Divisional Round (sound familiar?). Sure, Prescott has had his lesser moments in the league, but he’s a very good quarterback and has consistently made Dallas competitive over the years.
Overall, Prescott had a terrific deep passing season despite these precautions. One just hopes Mike McCarthy has actually learned from his time off as a head coach and doesn’t devolve into the new Jason Garrett, because if Prescott returns to Dallas they can’t continue to waste a good quarterback’s career. He’s not worth $40 million a year, but he’s certainly worth keeping.
