Arm strength

I think after last night we can put the dak can't throw deep to bed. He threw 2 absolute rockets while in the middle of a dead run. Can we please at least put that myth to bed? Please

Dak is certainly struggling a bit, does not seem to be as crisp as last year. He does though appear to excel when throwing from outside the pocket

I wish we could but some won't or can't.

I actually text a friend of mine this last night, telling him, well there are your down field throws he complains about not getting. He didn't answer back.

And we can also agree when Dez still needed another foot to force his way in the end zone, FredBeard hammered him in.

Why do we care if he throws deep, middle, or short, as long as we win and he doesn't throw picks?

Wrong footed slightly off balance as well

Classic

Linehan should use the deep ball more instead of forcing it to Dez so much.

Last night was a prime example of what I have been screaming at the TV the first 2 weeks.

It was a silly argument then and it's even sillier now. It'll be interesting to see if the nitpickers actually chill out. I doubt they will.

LOL @ your friend not answering back! That's why I think the nitpickers will continue to pick on this board. Funny.

Was there an arm strength question?

He's cautious with the ball, that's why he throws short so much, not because he's physically unable.

Oh there was. A few here even called him noodle armed. And inaccurate downfield. I refuse to name names. They know who they are. And are really quiet today

Dak does not have an arm like Favre or Elway but then very few did. Most big arms like Jumungous and Jeff George were pathetic actually getting it to the WRs. Dak's arms is strong enough.
Joe Montana and Peyton Manning did rather well with arms about the same strength as his. He actually has a stronger one then theirs. OF course Manning never regained his arm strength after his neck injury but before that it was certainly decent.

It never made sense to me..

Yeah there were people who didn't see it like this.

I'm trying to figure out why some say we don't have anyone that can take the top off on the defense either? That guy is Butler. He blew past the DB like he was standing still last night!

Critics never said he lacks arm strength. I really dont know where people get that from.

He cant throw the deep ball because he lacks accuracy. That was the point coming out of college. And the accuracy is still a problem for him. Just look at especially the first half of yesterdays game.

 

[Jenky]

Not sure arm strength was ever really the issue. I'd say its accuracy.

 

[SDCowboy]

His arm strength looks night and day better from last season.
