Dak should learn from Russel Wilson on deep throws

[Batman1980]

Wilson outplayed Dak that game.

Zeke rushed for 140 yards though.

How many times has he rushed for 140 yards since that day?

What's that got to do with the original point? lol

Daks deep ball is elite. It's his short game/redzone that has him usually ranked lower than Mahomes, Rodgers, or Wilson. If his short game becomes Top 5 like his deep ball, he's in the same category as Mahomes, Rodgers, or Wilson.

 

[Batman1980]

That TD to INT ratio is usually elite, as well.

 

[CATCH17]

Dak’s mediocre at everything on the field.

 

[MarcusRock]

Dak throws as good a deep ball as Wilson. They're the Top 2 or 3 deep passers in the league along with Rodgers.

I believe the OP is talking about outright bomb throws and Wilson's mechanics in doing so. Wilson does that heads and tails above other QBs. I believe PFF considers 20 yards a deep pass. In the minds of most, it's not. In Dak's career, how many outright bombs has he thrown that you can remember? There's not a ton. Wilson has been slinging accurate deep balls almost since he entered the league. Would love to get ahold of stats that show something like the ball's yards in the air. That would be the best comparison for something like that.

Don't get me wrong. Bomb passes are like home runs in baseball. It's the sexy play but sometimes they come in handy. Look at that Buffalo-Detroit preseason game last night. A bomb got Buffalo the win with like a minute left in the game. Even in the Super Bowl Seattle lost, a bomb throw by Wilson was what even got them in position to score at the end before the Butler INT. And of course Wilson won that year's NFC Championship Game with an overtime bomb. Would be nice if you can do it consistently like he does.

Where's the knowledge of your quarterback?! Dak is the best deep ball passer in the league! Too bad he was out last season. But, he'll continue being the best in 2021. As far as the redzone. Talk to Moore. The magnificent play caller.

Dak Prescott
Dallas Cowboys · QB
No one was better at exceeding passing expectations on deep balls in 2019 than Prescott.
2

Russell Wilson
Seattle Seahawks · QB

I believe Russell Wilson has the best deep ball in the NFL and Dak should incorporate his throwing motion into his own.

He also needs to improve in red-zone efficiency and break some records. He can throw for 45 TDs this season minimum and put away the critiques about Cowboys’s red-zone woes.

Red-zone equals money zone and he needs to contribute his effort that reflects the pay check. That means more control of offense by audibles and motioning players to create spacing.

I think Tom Brady is a good QB. Dak should just play like him.

Please don't bring facts into the narrative, they won't like it one bit...

Easier said than done.

A deep pass TD would have absolutely 0 impact on redzone percentage, you’d have to be within the 20 yardline to have any effect on that. Don’t really understand the correlation between deep passing TD’s and redzone percentages.

Also, here’s how Dak stacks up in deep passing according to NextGen Stats:

According to that article, he led the NFL in 2019

Dak beat Russell or the Cowboys beat the Seahawks?

Wilson played better than Dak that game. The difference was Zeke and his 140 rushing yards.

If we had lost, the Dak haters would say it was his fault....we won, so it was because of Zeke....you guys are so predictable.

You can call me what you want, but it's not like you're this voice of the middle ground.

You have an agenda. That agenda is to prop Dak up no matter what. You're one of those "All wins are Dak's, but all loses are the teams" types.

No, I coached long enough to know that it's a team sport. I don't prop any player or dump on any player. I'm a Cowboys fan.....the team...

I didn't call you anything, you just admitted to it.

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

The one thing I have noticed about Wilson's deep ball....and actually Rodgers as well as they both put a TON of arc on the ball. They not only throw deep but high...giving the receiver more time to adjust.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

You replied to my post implying that I'm a "Dak hater" because I mentioned that the Cowboys won the game, not Dak, and I also pointed out that not only did Dak not win the game, but he was outplayed by Wilson and Zeke rushed for 140 yards.

That's not being a "Dak hater". That's just being honest about it.

Ok I admit it. I called you a Dak hater....am I wrong?

 

[jazzcat22]

I rather have Zeke running those 45 TD's. It means the running and passing game is working. Getting into scoring position. I am still a run first guy inside the 10.
