Terrible video quality.

He does miss a wide open TD in the middle on one of the goal line plays, but looked pretty good otherwise.

I like the kids poise, but some of his drop backs look like he's playing catch in the backyard.

That is the million dollar question. I've heard that it is marginal. I've heard that if his mechanics are good it is more than enough.

I cannot wait to see for myself this summer and fall.

He just started reading offenses like a pro last year after being a spread read-option QB for his first few years.

I know that he has light years to go but I think this guy has a chance to be pretty good.

Same here. There's a lot to like. His quick release, live arm, and he doesn't seem to let pressure effect him much. A lot of his throws are off his back foot. I think with better footwork and mechanics, his arm strength will improve.

Lots of dink and dunk, although it was the senior bowl on a weeks practice.

How is his toughness for people that have seen more? Is he RGknee or Russell, or neither? This is the big boy league!

From what I have watched, he took a beating and has the frame for it.



You can see him as a runner here. He had a good game against AM.

NFL starter caliber arm to me. Not a power arm thats rope a deep out, but I dont think your leaving anything out of your offensw because of his arm

Romo was said to not have a good arm either ........ but I have seen him make all the throws (except the fade.....he cannot throw that worth a darn)

Posted this in another thread.

Here are some ball velocities for Moore and QBs drafted this year including Dak.
Everyone would have been happy with Wentz - he is 5 MPH better than Moore and 3 MPH better than Dak - how important?

Moore: 52 MPH
Paxton Lynch, Memphis 59 MPH
Jared Goff, California 58 MPH
Carson Wentz, North Dakota State 57 MPH
Dak Prescott, Mississippi State 54 MPH
Cook was only 50MPH but may have had some issue

If they fix his footwork and tweak/tighten his throwing motion that could increase. Everyone thought Romo had a noodle arm his first couple of years.

Dak's feet look heavy. He is fairly flat footed in the pocket. I'd imagine that is one of the main things the coaches will focus on.

after watching that video, i came away pretty impressed with his accuracy, throws the slants well, but overall he puts it out there where only the WR has a chance to get it, his running ability is a huge plus, i've said it from the begining he reminds me of Russell Wilson.
