Dak’s TD pass

[School]

No, because I, and many others, have repeatedly stated that the throw deep down the sideline is one of Dak's strengths, just like rolling to his right and throwing on the run. He's made that throw multiple times very nicely.

It's between the numbers downfield when he has to throw in windows within zone defenses with accuracy that he struggles mightily to date. Teams can press the box and leave the middle deep covered with a single safety, and he hasn't yet demonstrated the ability to consistently deliver the ball in there.

They bracketed Beasley last year, and he couldn't make them pay. They loaded the box, and he still chose to dump the ball down.

But he can throw that quick strike down the sideline very nicely. Has since he got here.

Accuracy in 2017 on passes that travel further than 10 yards downfield between the hash mark and the numbers on either side of the field (seam passes, key to beating the popular cover 3, and it helps a lot to have a downfield threat at TE, which didn't exactly fit the description of Witten):
Dak 64.5%, 6th among full-time starters

I do agree they need to have more attempts deep though, but I think personnel also played a factor there.

That supposed to be Star Citizen are something? An infinite development cycle and loads of feature creep on a glorified tech demo still in alpha since 2012 means that "game" is swamp gas. Vaporware.

Looks like Starcraft my man.

The CB bit on the stutter step, turned around for the ball too early while Gallup ran past him.

It was a good pass by Dak and right on the money.

Not to mention the CB should’ve been called for pass interference

Isn’t it amazing how Dak can toss 30 yard passes with touch and accuracy when he has a receiver who can separate downfield? Say it ain’t so!!! Isn’t that something he’s supposedly unable to do? Or was I dreaming?

Defender had good position. Anything could have happened if the defender hadn't lost the ball.

Anything didn’t happen tho. What did happen was Dak threw a perfectly accurate pass for a 30 yard touchdown. Despite the interference by the CB

10 yards "downfield" and in is basically where Dak lives. That's a problem.

You had to start a thread over Dak throwing a preseason TD pass? Somebody has an agenda.

No. I started a thread in support of the team’s quarterback who did something that some fans swore he couldn’t. You don’t like it? Keep scrolling.

Sounds like an agenda to me.

Seems like you were angry from the get go and just wanted to stir up trouble. Take a chill pill.

A perfectly accurate pass to a receiver who was well covered and the defender lost the play.

Sure hope all the CBs do that this year.

Those stats were for throws beyond 10 yards. But yes I agree they need to attack downfield more.

That play just goes to show what lens you're viewing Dak through makes all the difference.

If you're a Dak doubter, then you see a play in which the cornerback messed up and Dak made a throw that's in his wheelhouse.

If you're more of a Dak backer, then you see a play where Dak initially looked at the tight end to manipulate the safety, hit the top of his drop, and then threw an accurate pass down the field to a receiver that paced his route well.

what a stroke by dak...

 

[iRepDatStar]

[Cowpolk]

Facts are a stubborn thing.
