Dak's career OT stats

[CWR]

Didn't miss a single pass in 4 OT games. It sucks the streak ended on Thanksgiving, but it's still notable. Apologies if this is common knowledge, it slid right by me.

@don_dougan - Here's an amazing stat. Dak Prescott has never thrown an incomplete pass in 4 career OT games. He's 18 of 18 for 214 yards, 11.9 yards per att, 3 GW TD's, 0 sacks & a 155.79 passer rating. Only loss at Hou when the #Cowboys punted on 4th & 1 from the Hou 42.

......the legend continues to grow.

 

[ondaedg]

He's not perfect but there is no denying that his performance steps up late in tight games. Amazing stat.

3 total games, two of them against the same opponent, prior to this game, going 18-18.

Basically dink and dunk against the Texans, going a whopping 3-3 only to punt and give the ball to the Texans who then scored, meaning they lost.

2 of them against the Eagles, one of them as a bus driver in 2017 when Zeke was dominating and teams were completely set on stuffing Zeke, the other in 2018, further, meaning both against Jim Schwartz who never bothered to play anything but one safety man on the outside against Dak. The 2018 game was the infamous one where Amari bailed Dak out and had to yell at Dak to throw him the ball, becayse CBs we’re just sitting the routes with no safety help over the top.

One of those ‘accurate’ OT passes was his typical 1 read throw that never should have been made on a 3rd and 8, with the Db having clear inside possession and once again, no safety to even help and a lucky bounce after the defender hit it.

Dude you're embarrassing yourself.. the Cowboys didn't play an overtime game against the Eagles in 2017.. Your memory is as bad as your takes..

Dak being clutch is a myth and a joke, obfuscated by the bus driver he was in 2016, when defense were being worn out by Zeke and Dak just had to take care of the ball.

Here’s how Prescott has done as a passer when down 4-8 points in the final four minutes of games compared to the NFL average since he entered the league in 2016:

• Passer rating: Prescott 70.6 vs. NFL avg 76.5
• Yards per attempt: Prescott 5.9 vs. NFL avg 6.7
• Touchdown rate: Prescott 2.8% vs. NFL avg 4.6%
• Interception rate: Prescott 2.8% vs. NFL avg 3.7%
• Sack rate: Prescott: 7.7% vs. NFL avg 5.3%
  
  
• That is… not good.

Dak isn’t even in the league average “in tight games” at the point the article was written, meaning to begin this season. This idea he was bringing teams back in 2020 is a joke, because the similar 4th quarter situational stats were horrible as well, meaning defenses just tightened up and watched Dak become the check down Charlie he was, which is why he was throwing on average around 5 YPC. Even Dalton’s stats were better last year in those situations.

He’s not even on the same planet as Romo, let alone Mahomes, either..

Now, obviously anytime we filter down to specific situations like this one, we have to consider the small sample size — Prescott has only 78 career dropbacks in these situations — but you couldn’t blame Jones if he looks fondly on the days of Romo, who has a decisive edge over Prescott across the board in the clutch:

• Passer rating: Romo 95.3 vs. Prescott 70.6
• Yards per attempt: Romo 7.3 vs. Prescott 5.9
• Touchdown rate: Romo 5.8% vs. Prescott 2.8%
• Interception rate: Romo 2.2% vs. Prescott 2.8%
• Sack rate: Romo 2.1% vs. Prescott 7.7%

Notice how he’s not even asking to be a drop back passer in these situations either.

Of course @khiladi removed the Dak Hate Fine print from your article.

First, we have to establish our working definition of clutch.

To get a true sense of it, you can forget the traditional “fourth-quarter comeback” or “game-winning drive” metrics, which are far too liberal and credit a quarterback for scores anytime in the fourth quarter. You can also forget “one-score game” totals, which can be diluted because an offense will operate far differently if playing for a field goal rather than a touchdown.

A true “clutch” situation should be viewed as when a team is down 4-8 points late in a game, when they need a touchdown.


So according to this article a true sense of Clutch is down by 4-8 points needing a TD

If you drive and get a FG - NOT CLUTCH

If you drive and Kicker misses a Game winning FG - NOT CLUTCH

If You are down by 4 points and drive for 2 late FGS - NOT CLUTCH

Dak Haters are cherry-picking, Goal Post Moving no,

 

[khiladi]

Actualiy yes, that’s why NFL situational stats rely on plus or minus 7 in the fourth quarter, because that implies the QB has to score a TD in the red zone, while the defenses are playing everything in front of them in those scenarios.

And that’s also why Dink and Dunk Charlie had like a less than 5 YPC, 61% completion percentage 0 TDs and 1 INT with only one pass over 20 yards in those scenarios last year, when he was supposedly ‘leading his team back’ and not getting garbage yards. Even Dalton was better and he wasn’t even close up a guy like Watson, whose completion percentage shot up to like 70% with an over 10 YPC and like 5 TDs to 1 INT off the top of my head.

His WRs couldn't separate from a fire hydrant. Rather than throw a pick from his own 6 he played it safe and the defense folded. And that throw to Noah should have been caught.

Lol anything to refuse giving him any credit whatsoever. It’s almost caricature at this point.

Dak-stans can’t even admit there was a problem when it took him one week to throw a TD in training camp in year 3, meaning the same year he was the “legend of OT”.

His last game in OT, premier veteran Dak, was the same old checkdown Charlie, who sailed a pass with his horrible mechanics behind Brown. And that was after 2 completions of a whopping 2 and 4 yards to Zeke, I guess that means he was 2-3, so yeah! Accuracy!!!


Even Cooper Rush could have made the first two throws and that last throw, going 3-3…

 

[blueblood70]

he didn't the defense did. Scoring 33 in any game in the nfl should be W. the refs and the deefsne failed this team on TG..

he had a horrible game against Denver and shaky against KC but thats it out of 11 games and you all still make this like hes some jag..
IM not happy over the loss but the blames not on Dak this game regardless of OT

there are distinct reasons that are plain to see for each loss and most are not dak..got it

Bucs NO defense and STs issues that clear
Denver-the entire team was bad cant just pick on a player or coach, no one really showed to play. dak could have played lights out and we stil lose see the bucs game
KC- this was bad game for the offense but more so no run game on Moore, OL , and wrs drops were insane, dak was shaky bit had good reason for it..
Raiders-Penalties and bad defense were more to blame then anyone..the OL wasnt good , no run game..again so dak choked how, like 400yards NO TOs and 28 points scores that 7 per qtr plus the missed XP, missed FG, and coaching all before we can get to dak as an issue..

 

[aikemirv]

Oh please. Terrible throw and the yips. Throw to Noah COULD have been caught but does not negate the choke job on the EASY throw.

What's your point. This thread is about Dak. He had the time to win it in regulation and the opportunity to extend the drive in OT and choked.

A Brown and pressure sucked but they were not on the field then!

defense choked they were on the field last and gave up the big penalty plays that gave an easy fg for the win..

corrected it for you..

if the defense played better and the refs were better at their job this is a 10 point win for us..facts..
sorry of you dont get the team concept but heres clues

Jackson had 4INt, 13 points fielded and his team won..

dak had zero TOs and put up 28 points and lost..

 

[khiladi]

Dude is facing 8 in the box all day long and WRs in man coverage, with the best blocking in the business for the majority of his time here.

Hell, you guys are literally mad at other folks on that team that these last couple of games when Dak hasn’t looked like “the MVP”, because Zeke and Pollard couldn’t sustain a 6 YPC average and upper 5s on first down?

How many more excuses do you need for this mediocre QB?

Imagine when the run game is no longer good anymore and Dak starts seeing zone a lot more and he’s got to go through progression. I mean right now, he sees cover 2 and it’s basically a check into a run play.

2017, Zeke suspension anyone…

 

[ondaedg]

Oh please. Terrible throw and the yips. Throw to Noah COULD have been caught but does not negate the choke job on the EASY throw.

All QBs make bad throws and yes that throw was definitely low but it hit him in both hands. I would have cut him yesterday because struggled to lean down and catch that ball. He looked like a LB playing WR.
