Dak more comfortable with the deep ball

[SoupcanSam]

One of the most interesting comments I've heard about dak from the coaches was how he was under throwing the WR in camp starting out with the deep ball.

Now in camp he is over throwing the WR. What an adjustment!!!

Now the accuracy is starting to fall in place As that arm gains confidence. The best thing is the under throwing is starting to disappear.

When I look at Daks deep now I see a little drew brees. Not saying he will be anything close to brees so don't trash me!

Dak is like Brees.

LOL

Then I guess Cole Beasley is like Jerry Rice, too.

Go Dak

 

[Kage]

Oh good, overthrows instead of underthrows.

Interceptions will be 15 yards further back.

 

[foofighters]

None of this means anything until it happens during the season in several games. It's really why I don't pay much attention to news during training camp and pre-season.

But I was told he was fine on deep ball, the tight window stat proved it .

Nah man he is adjusting! Pushing the ball further down field is a big improvement.

Funny because fans kept saying dak couldn't throw deep.

He will eventually get there. Practice practice practice.

I was being 50% sarcastic. I like Dak, and I'm glad he is working on it but overthrows are only very slightly better than under throws.

Because all quarterbacks who practice eventually get there.

Not sure how many deep routes he threw in college. I am assuming not a lot. Don’t mean he can’t, just means he needs to develope that part of his game. By time with the feet this season and let er rip.

So should Dak be sitting on his *** and not attempting to improve an area he has struggled in?

 

[Blake]

Eye test tells me his footwork looks better too. Hopefully it sticks.

 

[DoctorChicken]

That was a beautiful ball.

First under throwing
Now over throwing
But the one thing he's not doing is accurately connecting with the WR

He's doing this intentionally
I think he's trolling his haters

Yep
The throw was way off the mark but the ball was beautiful

You really have no clue what you're talking about. He'll be beating safeties over the top.

Sample size of him accurately connecting with WR on the deep ball is growing. This video being one of the examples.

[Future]

Drew Brees has pretty consistently underthrown deep balls over his entire career, especially under any pressure. Playing with Graham and Colston really minimized the impact of that, as Dez did last year.

How was the throw off the mark?
