I'm not saying Dak hasn't thrown bad passes because you can't name a single QB that doesn't. And yes if you get your hands on the ball you need to catch it. Period, point blank. You also say that every QB have those once in awhile but Dak throws them too often shows me you most likely watch highlights of most games and not entire games. You don't have one of the best completion percentage ever in the first 3 years of your career if you throw so many inaccurate passes. Then you blame Dak for losing the Rams playoff game because Dak had 2 bad passes........are you serious? We lost that playoff game because the Rams ran right down our throats for almost 300 yards. Without Dak we would have lost by double digits and thats a fact jack. You same silly Dak haters praise Wentz but that dude is much more inaccurate than Dak and isn't close to Dak in leadership or decision making skills.
I even stated that every QB will throw off target balls but Dak does it more than most. Surely you remember all the talk by all the people regarding Dak's trouble hitting receivers in stride and throwing certain routes that required anticipating where the ball should go in relation to the moving target? There was a lot of it. It is mentioned in scouting reports. It was generally accepted by many if not most to be a weakness. Possibly why we saw so many of the dreaded comeback routes?
I watch a lot of football. Five or six games a week probably. Between live, DVR'd and NFL Network replays. It's awesome to have so much available. Much better than the two or three we got back in the 80's and 90's and even 00's.
I did not blame Dak for that the loss. I said he missed some very significant plays that would have made a difference. He was part of that loss.
Here are some facts Jack. As much as the defense sucked the fact is the game was close and never got out of control in spite of how much running yardage the D gave up. It is another fact that the offense produced nothing from the second quarter through the third. Either one of the two plays I mentioned could very possibly have lead to some production. That is on Dak. I only mentioned the big plays that I remember being missed. I didn't mention that grounder to Zeke in the opening drive of the second half. Followed by the typical, just behind instead of just in front, inaccurate pass to Rico in that same three and out. The almost pick six that had me, you and everyone else saying "oh sheit!" in the split second before the DB dropped it. What was the 3rd down conversion rate? I forget that fact. One scoring drive in the middle of the game would have made a difference in the close game. A couple 3rd down conversions would have helped the defense and likely the scoreboard. The opportunities were there.
Really though, my point was that Dak has struggled with putting the ball in right place. That is well documented. Regular topic of discussion on sports media and on this forum, usually about a specific big play that was missed, after the game. There are two examples in the video posted in this thread. Played a significant role in the offense's complete lack of production in the middle half of the Rams game. Those are all facts.
The absoluteness of the 'catch anything you can possibly get your hands on' is ridiculous. But it isn't even the point.
The point is, the QB far to often makes easy passes/catches into difficult ones. Good QB's, while certainly not perfect, are much better at giving the receiver a much easier ball to catch and a chance to do something with it. That would be an example of the 'making guys better' thing that gets brought up. Instead it is an example of the guy's having to make Dak look better.
Why do you bring Wentz up? I didn't mention him. I have never mentioned him. I couldn't care less about him.
