What I have noticed more this year than in some past years is Dak is opting to throw “tight window throws” when other receivers are open but he is forcing that throw anyway. Just because a QB throws the ball into a tight window doesn’t mean that was his best or only option. I also think this year with no running game defenses are able to focus a little more on stopping the pass which leads to better coverage And the same goes for the fact that our pass protection (this is from personal opinion not any stats I’ve seen) hasn’t been quite as good as in prior years so teams are getting pressure without blitzing which also allows them to focus more on covering.
Also don’t forget that this offense is designed for Dak. He’s mostly good at slants, dump offs, back shoulder fades, seams, and comebacks, which are tight coverage throws by nature. He’s not good at throws to the flat, out breaking routes, or legit posts and fades, which tend to get better separation. Id also say his timing is usually behind which deletes separation by the time his ball areives
100%~!~ I literally read a Facebook post the other day some sports idiot stated this exactly we would still be two and two even with Trey Lance this year that why did we sign Prescott if we were gonna be 500 because Lance would have had us at 500 as well... Did he not realize that there's no run game average offensive line play maybe I can say inconsistent not bad but there are times where it's a jailbreak and Prescott's gotta make early decisions quick and throw an accurate ball or run or dump it off somewhere and then you add in the separation rates the terrible vanilla scheme is somehow people still think Cooper rush or Trey Lance can do similar things and I just don't know what they're watching I don't know what they think could happen in these games when you get people that either 1 Cooper rush is a stoic stain in the pocket with a very average arm at best and he needs more time and he needs a run game whenever the defenses do this where they can play coverage like they are and get to the quarterback with four guys stop the run and there's nothing else and you know the defense isn't doing their job and we're gonna have to score more points Cooper rush with fail miserably like he did against the Rams and the eagles at the end of this little run he had and if you look at the other games closely he wasn't doing anything but average with everything else around him playing elite you give Prescott this kind of elite play and we'd be four and oh right now literally that's the difference and Trey Lance I don't know what they're looking at he may be able to run the football but he sets his dudes up to get knocked out in games and I'm literally stands there and throws balls so high or so behind or where they're being LED right into a linebacker safety I mean what were they watching?
