Not my problem.. I can only drop the knowledge.. I can't enable yall to pick it up..

Threads must be started for the the most trivial and nonsensical reasons in the never ending propping up of Dakota........Apparently there’s a minority of posters here that believe that when Dak looks bad, they look bad or vice versa.
Self identification of the largest order
LMAO.. The reason it "makes the leap look vertical" is because it was. The DB is literally three feet off the ground when he gets his hands on the ball. I'm still waiting for your explanation as to how this throw was "barely head high" as you claimed. I captured the pic from the video directly. It shows a guy who is 6 inches shorter than Jarwin a full foot above him.. At no point in his jump was Jarwin ever as high as Adderley got on his leap. Yet you claimed the ball was thrown too low..
The other puzzling aspect of this was that nowhere in my OP did I even mention Dak.. YOU geniuses came out of the woodwork dogging Dak in defense of Jarwin.. even going so far as to make up crap about the throw's height among other ridiculous claims. The guy beat Jarwin by being more athletic.. He beat him to the spot to take away the corner pylon throw, then beat him back to the spot for the back shoulder throw then beat him by out leaping him. It is what it is.. No matter where Dak threw that ball Jarwin was never going come down with it. THAT was my point. If he threw it toward the pylon the DB had the best angle on it. If he threw it lower then it negates Jarwin's height advantage. If he just heaved it out of the end zone the result would have been the same.. an incomplete pass and I would bet a month's salary yall would have been here screaming that he should have thrown it up and given Jarwin a chance to make a play against the smaller guy. I understand fully how this game is played..
Last week you brushed over Dak's involvement in the Cowboys Red Zone struggles, yes you mentioned possible concerns, but then put great emphasis on the game calling and the receiving.
This thread is a dog whistle argument on the same line (Blame Anyone But Dak). You've isolated one play and clustered all of your prejudices into that one play.
This was a risky(ish) play that didnt work, you blame Jarwin (yep, for two weeks running we've had the lesser TE on the field) but I doubt many would of caught that (even Gronk would of struggled - Adderley got in front of him).
The issue still remains that the variations of our Red Zone plays are seriously compromised as we dont have a QB that has pinpoint accuracy in tight windows. An accurate QB is able to put the ball in a place that only gives the receiver a chance.
You calling for ANOTHER weapon for Dak is tantamount in saying he's incapable without a team of superstars for every eventuality.
I hate the imbalanced viewpoint that Dak has no limitations and it's everyone else's fault....then give us the ABD moniker.
I do need to balance those comments by saying I'm happy with Dak and think he's a great general QB, who's superb at sustaining and managing drives. However, we do need accept that his possible lack of accuracy means we've got to devise other strategies: more longer plays from further out, more running plays, using Pollard as a hybrid WR (more Schultz, less Jarwin).
The guy who completed 88% of his passes has a lack of accuracy. Did you know Daks career completion percentage is higher than Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, AND Aaron Rodgers? The only thing lacking in accuracy is your vision and football comprehension. Jarwin got punked.. (again) Blame Dak.. You guys are hilarious. It was probably Dak's fault he blew the block on the option play last week too. The pitch wasn't accurate to Zeke so Jarwin had to look back to see if Zeke caught the ball before he blocked his man which made him miss the man.. Yeah.. that's the ticket..
Woody Harrelson can't jump either...Some of the red zone issues still showed up again yesterday but one of the reasons I keep citing leaped out at us on the throw into the end zone in the third quarter. Dak lobbed one up really high and it's Jarwin against a DB who he has 6 inches in height and a foot in reach on and the DB wins the jump ball. Good lord. If that's Dez it's a "Git off me" touchdown. The Cowboys desperately need a legit red zone receiver to emerge if they're going to get were they wanna go. You're not always going to be able to finesse your way open in that compressed area if the defense drops 8.

Naughty, naughty..... we are talking red zone (as well you know), Dak's nowhere near as accurate as Brady nor Rodgers in the red zone, and the fact that his figures drop when in the red zone actually supports the view that he's got limited accuracy when he needs it in confined spaces.
No YOU are talking red zone.. I talk about the whole field because newsflash.. They make them play the whole field.. And pretty much all QB's completion percentage drops in the red zone.. Brady's does.. Rodgers' does .. Dak's does.. That's the way it is.. get over it. If you don't believe me go look it up. Those guys are better than Dak to this point in his career.. As long as they've been in the game they're supposed to be. Let's check back when Dak has played 10 more years.. The main take away is that you're equating Dak's conservativeness in the red zone with inaccuracy. The fact that he completes a higher percentage all over the field than these greats says you're wrong. Even in the game in question he was deadly accurate... I submit that he doesn't have any trouble putting the ball where he wants it no matter what part of the field he's on. He just doesn't take as many chances in the red zone as some would like.. I'm not one of those.. I will take the more careful passer down there all day every day and twice on Sunday.

Instead of out jumping, with the defender behind him, all Jarwin needed to do was come back to the ball, a basic receiver rule….not just wait there.

So Muggsy Bogues was all of 5' 3" yet he could dunk (net height 10') so not sure the point as some guys have better leaping ability than others.
