Really strange take. Not one actual piece of data or objective fact whatsoever. Complete conjecture, the CowboysZone special.
“Over at Pro Football Reference, they’ve done the heavy lifting by charting every quarterback’s throws and determining whether the throw was “on target” or a “bad throw.” For reference, in 2019, Drew Brees led the NFL in both categories. He recorded an on-target percentage of 84.1% and a bad throw percentage of just 10.7%.
Bad throw and on-target percentage don’t include throwaways or spikes.
Coming in last among qualified quarterbacks in on-target percentage was Jameis Winston. Thirty interceptions and poor vision will do that for you. The player with the worst bad throw percentage was Aaron Rodgers at 21.7%. Now, I know what you’re thinking, Aaron Rodgers is one of the best in the NFL, and that’s accurate, but there are times where his gunslinging mentality comes back to bite him. He had the third-highest bad throw percentage in 2018 as well.
Aaron Rodgers is a great quarterback. We know this. However, it’s important to note that Prescott has been more accurate. Those are the facts.
Dak Prescott was seventh in the NFL in on-target percentage at 77.6% and sixth in the NFL in bad throw percentage, all the while finishing fifth in intended air yards. His 9.3 intended air yards per attempt was behind only Matthew Stafford, Jameis Winston, Ryan Tannehill, and Russell Wilson. Stafford, Winston, and Wilson were in the bottom ten of bad throw percentage while only Ryan Tannehill had a better bad throw percentage than Prescott.
By on-target percentage, Winston and Stafford were again in the bottom five.
Despite an increase of nearly two intended air yards per attempt, Dak Prescott’s bad throw percentage improved from 17.3% in 2018 to 14.8% in 2019.”
