[Risen Star]

Prescott replacement.

 

[cnuball21]

Ceiling is backup due to arm talent.

More excited about some of the other QBs we’re meeting with.

 

[KingintheNorth]

Big bag of meh.

 

[xwalker]

Prescott replacement.

Isn't the goal of any QB drafted by the Cowboys to replace Dak?

I assume they don't play on replacing Zeke with Aidan O’Connell...

Pay attention. You don't need arm talent to start here.

Prescott replacement.

I thought Wentz was your Dak replacement?

Aidan’s arm strength is significantly lower than Daks and basically NFL standards.

hes kinda like Ty Detmer back in the day. Thats an accurate comp.

Maybe so…if he was a better athlete a lack of arm strength wouldn’t be as big a concern but we’re talking a pocket passer with a weak arm.

Significantly? No. Prescott has mediocre arm strength at best.

You know who else has a little less arm strength than Prescott? Cooper Rush. He won at a higher clip than our starter last year.

But you didn't just say arm strength. You said arm talent. That brings things like accuracy and touch into it. Things that our starter lacks in spades.

I’d strongly disagree. Prescott has a “good” arm for NFL standards…not elite but good enough to make all the throws. Aidan does not and Cooper clearly did not.

Ah, ok. So you have no idea what you're talking about.

Noted. Enjoy the forum.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I can’t imagine what Tad Prescott is thinking right now.

Since his rookie year Dak is 9th amongst QBs in EPA / play, 7th in QB Rating, 7th in completion percentage and 9th in TD / INT percentage. Dak has led a top 3ish offense in PPG the last 3 years when he’s healthy.

So yea, I think Dak has arm talent.

Carry on.

 

[Risen Star]

Today I learned that Dak Prescott has a gifted NFL arm and can make all the throws.
