Wait, you mean he's not absolute rubbish?

The analysis in the first place is asinine because it began with the assertion that Dak shouldn’t have had the 100 QBR game because it was a “poor throw” in that play.

Which is just wrong for many reasons. Dak’s QBR was already penalized for the slightly long throw because had it been 6 inches shorter, Dez scores a TD and Dak finishes the game with 2 passing TD’s rather than one. Therefore, his statistics already take into account the failure to throw the ball perfectly.

That being said, in no way shape or form should he not get credit on a play where he reads the defense properly, catches the safety biting on the double move and then throws a ball 50 yards in the air well enough for it to hit Dez in the hands. Any idea that the play should be removed from his stats when assessing his performance, is just nonsense.

This is distorting the argument a great deal.

The point is that stats can be misleading, especially in a small sample size. If one play takes your game stats from suck to good, it's indicative this might be a problem. This is true here.

And when it counted he lost to Rodgers.
Just saying. Stats don’t really count beyond won/loss records.

There's a direct correlation between Romo retiring, Dez getting cut and Prescott being blamed for literally everything under the sun.

Romo made Dez so when he retired that = Bye bye Dez which = It's Precott's fault that Dez is gone because the young QB is not a veteran gunslinger with 10 plus years experience. By George I think he's got it!!!!!

Just a side note from the article.

Not sure in what world 50% "compares favorably" to 51.2%.
Probably could've left that out vs trying to make an old tired point about previous and current Cowboy QBs.
In general, he's cherry picked a certain, selective stat with mixed long term vs fairly short term results, and eliminated data not wanted.
No big deal. The author is pushing a point/agenda, so I get it.

We'll see how this season goes. The oline, total RB production, and total defense situation should all be better. Those are three huge ingredients in helping a QB have a higher rating.
The QB still has to deliver, even in that lower stress environment.
Just hoping our will do just that.

I'd also point out Dak is 2nd in win % when his QBR is 100/+, second to Brady, and tied with Foles.

That's why you go Dak friendly.

Crazy, seems like if it was so easy then every QB in a decent situation would do well and yet our 4th round 2nd year QB gets ripped to shreds by all the romosexuals.

Football is also a sport of inches. How many bad plays are an inch or two away from being great plays?

That’s one reason why the argument is flawed.

Also, let’s be realistic. Dak was a rookie QB playing against a top 3 defense in the league, the Vikings. Keeping his performance in that context. It was a pretty good outing for a rookie QB. The Vikings defense coached by Zimmer is very tough to beat. Was it an amazing performance? No, but anybody saying he played poorly that game (not you but others have said it) is not being fair either.

Nevertheless, Dak needs to be more consistent. That’s one thing to point out when discussing his games with a high QBR. Having a lot of high QBR games is great, but the team can’t afford him to have the games where he is using poor technique, and overall playing poorly, costing them a chance to win. That needs to be cleaned up.

I guess we're ignoring him having to lunge a bit?

Who is ignoring it? I said Dez lost his balance when he had to extend his arms for the ball -- ie., lunging a bit.

And we'll ignore the late throw

It wasn't a late throw. Dak threw the ball right after the double move, as quarterbacks typically do.

When a WR is that open on the opponents end of the field, there are only two reasons it should not be a TD - a drop, or a poor throw (assuming a throw is made).

Again, calling that a "poor throw" is extremely misleading. Quarterbacks often overthrow that pass so much that the receiver can't catch it, or so much that they have to dive to catch it, or they throw it inaccurately so the receiver has to adjust to his left or right, or they underthrow it and the receiver has to slow down or stop (which often allows a defensive back to catch up to it).There's a reason that the median accuracy rate on passes 40 yards or more is less than 33 percent. Dak's throw to Dez was SLIGHTLY too far, but it wasn't a poor throw.

If that's a "poor throw," then Staubach's TD pass to Butch Johnson in Super Bowl XII was a terrible throw.
