The stats you posted and the stats the other poster posted look at raw numbers without any consistent context, although it is interesting to note that the points per snap has a parallel in the NBA as to points per possession. PPP is considered to be an excellent tool in evaluating a player's impact on the offensive end.
This is where we part ways. I am a firm believer that a player willing to put in the work will always be able to improve. . At least until their body starts to break down a la Romo or some others. Especially when it comes to the mechanics and mental side of the game Dak will be a better QB in 4 years than he is now and he is a better QB now than he was 4 years ago. Romo was a better QB at age 34 than he was at age 30 by a considerable margin IMHO. Why does Dak have to stand still for the rest of his career while other QBs are afforded the luxury of getting better with age, experience and better coaching? I always come back to the difference of starting points for these QBs. Guys who played in more advanced passing offenses in college come into the league with a huge advantage over guys who played on teams that basically asked them to be the leading rusher AND the leading passer in college. Dak came into the NFL only marginally more advanced as a passer than he was in high school. So in essence his first four years in the pros were really equivalent to his college years. He's been playing catchup to guys like Mahomes, Herbert, Burrow, et al for that reason. Even Hurts played in a more advanced pass offense at Bama and certainly at Oklahoma than what Dan Mullen had Dak doing at MSU. Those my friend are also.. "facts."
Your sarcasm isn’t working.
why not wait till dallas and phil play? hopefully the qbs will actually play each other this season!
The QB's don't play each other. The one who plays best with the most stats might not even win.
very good assessment..
I can't for the life of me figure out why people are so invested in the "Dak Prescott can't get any better" nonsense. He has pretty much gotten better every year in the league up until last year and even last year was a statistical anomaly with all the tipped ball INTs. People so dug in on "Dak can't be this or that, refusing to acknowledge all those interceptions that he could not have thrown any better are just being stupid and it's a challenge sometimes to even want to talk to them. Sure some of the INTs were him trying to follow the directive to "be more aggressive" from his coaches. This year he has dialed back that aggressiveness and the turnover rate has been cut way down except for one game. He's just got to find that balance between too aggressive and too conservative.
Im honestly asking you....not to be dense or argue....how has he gotten better every year?
Well the parallel debate to this would be the fact that they say he's in decline and he's not I mean they're not giving any of the excuses these other teams this week are getting for the lack of a run game the lack of his wide receivers separation rate is poor the pass rush win rate is poor for the second year in a row...
That’s an understatement. He is so much better than Patrick Mahomes. I don’t understand how people can’t see that.
Yeah Super Bowls are a playoff stat. You don't win MVPs in the playoffs so who cares about the playoffs?
And he has a really cool, new tattoo.
The easiest thing to look at to me is how good he has become against the blitz or heavy pressure. Younger Dak would simply take off and run when blitzed or pressured. Now he hits the hot routes, or if that's not there he moves around buys time and often creates huge plays for us. A couple of years ago the entire league completely STOPPED blitzing him because he was burning it so bad. The preferred way to beat him now is drop as many people as possible into coverage and hope he can't find a receiver or makes a poor throw. Teams that don't have the talent to do that get lit up. Teams that do have the talent have some success but he still wins his share of those battles as well. Like hanging 36 on Belichick's D a couple of years back or 40 on Philly last year. Or even the way he lit up Tampa's D in last year's playoff. People are way too quick to dismiss the fact that was a top 10 defense and was a top 5 defense the year before when he lit them up for 400+ yards and 3 TDs.
