Dak gets rid of the ball fast

[SackMaster]

I don't agree on him not throwing it away. Knowing where the team is on the field, it should have been in his head that either it's a quick throw or you throw it away. Instead, he held it when there was time to dump it. On the sack against Smith, he had no chance.

That's cool.

I would just hate to see him trying to throw it away when the initial rusher is right behind his throwing arm, one of his offensive lineman are falling into his lead foot, and having ANOTHER 2-3 defenders in his face / right around him.

Those types of situations typically don't work out well for the offense when the QB tries to do to much.

JMHO

Its one of the more useless new age stats.

Not sure I agree. It’s an indication that the QB is making quick decisions, which is a good trait.

I just heard on 105.3 The Fan that Next Gen stats show that Dak gets rid of the ball in 2.39 seconds. That is faster than Herbert, and actually even faster than Brady (2.5 seconds).

Just another indication that Dak is elite.

Best QB’s in the league:

1. Brady
2. Mahomes
3. Rodgers
4. Allen
5. Dak
6. Wilson.

Thank God, that has been one of his biggest flaws over the years.

Damn....that's definitely elite company he's in...I'd switch Allen and Wilson....and hell I don't know what Rodgers is at this point after that first week.

Allen isn’t better than Dak. Not even close. Allen has been terrible this season. He has 1 good year and a lot of not good. Dak >

Dead to me.

Its not a bad trait for sure but its more indicative of a short passing game. Just b/c Dak gets rid of the ball faster than Patrick Mahomes does not mean he's a better QB.

 

[Risen Star]

I don't know how true that is but I wonder if throwing to pro bowl weapons has anything to do with it.

You may be right. Dak has been much better than Allen so far this year. If that continues for a few more games I’ll move Dak up to #4.

 

[JBS]

Dead to me.

Allen has been disappointing this season. Still early. But not off to a good start.

The fans who do not like Dak quarterbacks are gonna be mad at this thread.

In this year's case it has been more game planning that anything. Dak has been able to execute it at a high level, but in the TB game quick, shorter passes were designed to replace the run game to negate TB's run defense and yesterday it was designed to negate the pass rush with a weak right side and a élite rusher. Brilliant game planning from Moore and great ex

I would have to go back and look at the replay, but I thought Dak was stillin the pocket which wouldlimit how you get rid of the ball.

Dak releases the ball fast when throwing downfield but often hesitates when passing outside to the flats. It's a habit he really needs to correct.

There are many plays going outside to the flats when the defensive backs and LBs get some extra time to take off and tackle the RBs in their tracks.

He was. He would have had to throw it out of bounds near a receiver, but the easier pass would have been to just ground it near a dump-off receiver. Since the defense was closing into him, I don't know if he would have had enough room to step into throwing it out of bounds.

Dak's mindset, as a QB who often escapes pressure, isn't tuned to throwing the ball away. He had an opportunity when he was outside the pocket against Tampa Bay to do it, but ate it instead. Romo was the same way. It's something he should work on.

 

[Doomsday101]

One thing Dak has in common with Allen and Mahomes currently all 1-1. Frankly all I care about is Dak leading this Dallas Cowboys team. If he can continue to go out and help win games that matters to me. How quick of a release compared to one QB or another is really meaningless. Right now Dak has stepped back into the lineup after missing most of last year and he is looking good that too matters to me.

 

[Beaker42]

That’s cool - he still needs to be better in the red zone.

 

[aikemirv]

On the sack that took them out of FG range he had an easy out to the right to get out of the pocket. That's my beef. It is a good trait to keep your eyes downfield but he needs to be more aware of the pocket situation.

 

[khiladi]

Its not a bad trait for sure but its more indicative of a short passing game. Just b/c Dak gets rid of the ball faster than Patrick Mahomes does not mean he's a better QB.

Andy Dalton was 3-4 on the list after the bye when we were a dropped CeeDee Lamb pass away from the playoffs and zero pass protection. He must be elite too per the criteria of Dak-stans.

He was, the pocket text book collapsed on him..Bosa got his arm so he could not throw and 2 other OL got beat pretty bad. If he gets it off 50% it may go the other way.
