You turned it off after 1st deep pass. Yet you still feel as though you have a valid opinion of the analysis.

No, since you didn't view it. Your opinion is null and void.

How can you not watch the video and yet say it is garbage analysis. You sir must have an agenda

As I stated, I watched the first 'opinion' on Dak throwing a bad deep pass. The alleged analysis failed to take into consideration that Dak could not step into the pass due to the defensive pressure. He followed that with a pass analysis of another QB throwing long in a clean pocket.

It was crap analysis. I do not need to hit my thumb with a hammer just to confirm it hurts.

So according to this guy, Dak has never lead a receiver or thrown it deep successfully in two seasons? Sorry bro, comparing Dak's bad tape with other QB's good tape doesn't do it for me.

You'll never know how much it hurts though.

Dak can and has made those throws, they're just not fairly illustrated in this one sided video. He certainly can improve and needs to, but the video should be titled "All Daks bad passes and other bad offensive plays." Because they're not all Dak, that's why it's not a good video. It's not accurate. You can't blame Dak for making a bad throw or throwing it away because he's getting hit. There's plenty of things we can be critical about without fabricating plays. And, the anti Dak crowd eats it up.
"Throwing a WR open, Can't throw the back shoulder fade, tight windows, noodle arm etc..."

To be fair, Dak can make most of the throws. The problem with him right now is making them consistently. When a big receiver has to go through a smaller defender to make a catch, it is never a good thing (especially when that receiver is an athletic freak who can jump). This is all about touch, accuracy and ball placement. The good throwers can play pitch and catch all day with a receiver like Dez. Dak just isn't there yet (and Dez is not the kind of receiver to be able to beat defenders with his speed).

As far as the video, yes, the it's biassed (or prejudiced, to be more accurate), but a good number of points are fair and are illustrated well. To take advantage of the talent around him, Dak needs to improve. For the most part, it's just about bad habits with his mechanics that he needs to continue to work through.

That's my problem with this guy. He does good work but there's a bias here. How much of this footage is when Dak played well in his rookie year? I can't take it serious if you can't make your point without showing both sides.

AKOYE has a vast knowledge of football and in particular Cowboys Football. If you watch his other videos or his analysis when he does the round table discusson with other You Tubers such as ****NOT-AN-OFFICIAL-SOURCE***, you will hear it. More often then not he is the only one worth listening to because he' so in depth.

But why am I telling you this for an ostritch is gonna be an ostritch

Just because you can speak without stumbling over your words doesn't mean you're knowledgeable.

If you want to trust the 'analysis' of a man who cannot even tell what a screen play is, more power to you, my man.

Brady fumbled in crunch time in the last super bowl. Can't believe he even still has a job.

Again, you are spinning reality. Tony and Dez did not click immediately either. You are also comparing a 24-26 year old Dez to a 28-29 year old Dez after back, knee, and foot injuries. You are also comparing Romo who was very Favre-like and loved to improvise and draw it up in the sand, to Dak who like Aikman expects a receiver to be where the route calls for them to be. Catch Aikman's A Football Life. He has a story about Harper cutting a route short and causing an INT and Troy comes to the sideline and tells Norm, "Shoot me if I ever throw that route to Harper again." In the Super Bowl, Novacek turns, can't see Troy but here comes the ball for a TD. On the side line Novacek asked Troy if he could see him, because I couldn't see you and Troy says, "No I couldn't but I knew you'd be there."

I don't care if the guy is prejudiced against Dak. Anyone with half a brain can see that. The problem comes when you put blinders on and can't see that a lot of what he's saying is right. I've seen plenty of Dak highlight reels to know what he can do. It's important to see the opposite side too. You can be a fan of a team (even a player) and still acknowledge that he has flaws in his game. Like it or not Dak ain't the perfect QB (and likely never will be). My hope is that he improves in the areas he needs to to allow his other abilities to really shine.

Sorry. Your Harper/Dez -Aikman/Dak comparison is completely apples and oranges.Dak Prescott is not the thrower Troy Aikman was (and likely never will be), so this is a really poor comparison. Daks accuracy problems have extended to Witten, Williams and Beasley too. Is it all their fault too?

Yes, must be ALL The receivers are running wrong or incorrect routes. Funny...

Stephen is on record talking about better route running...fact
We cut the worst route runner on the team...fact
All the receivers, but Dez, had been working with a route guru before Dez got cut...fact
They brought in WRs who were good route runners in FA and have been looking at WRs in the draft who are, wait for it, good route runners...fact

You misunderstood, Cap. Aikman is the same type of QB Prescott is. That is not saying Prescott is as good. That was never said.

Comprehension is our friend...read it again, what was the comparison being made about Dak and Troy? Wittens catch percentage did not change from 2016 to 2017. Butler's went up, Williams dropped a little, Beasley dropped a lot but coverage changed dramatically on Beasley, and Dez' catch percentage actually went UP in 2017.

Really? Aikman (even early in his career) was a pocket passer who was big enough to shake off would be tacklers to avoid sacks, but not that mobile. Prescott is more mobile in and out of the pocket. Aikman had a better arm and was more accurate. To me the only thing they have in common is that they are both right handed and have a single digit on the back of their uniform instead of two.

You're missing my point (and Mr. Biassed filmmakers too). This is about Dak's throwing, timing and accuracy (and to a certain extent, his decision making when he unnecessarily checks down). Regardless of the video's intent, a number of points are right. Yes, Dez made a TD on the fade (where the ball did not fade), but that was just a great catch on a poor throw. Dak was plagued by a number of poor throws that got bailed out with nice plays. Receivers (including Dez) had to play DB an number of times too when Dak decided to throw it to the wrong guy.

I never said Dak wasn't talented, but he's not a great thrower of the football yet.
