Will we be drafting a QB in the 1st round in 12 months?

That's what this season will be all about.

Just sayin'. Many folks here seem not to think that.
Come on stop using that as a cop out for your Dak hate. No one has said he doesn't have anything to work on. I think most logical people are waiting to see what he does this year to determine how good or bad he is. He's played well for a season and a half and has played bad for half a season...let's be fair on our criticism.

It's a bias video which it "does" show that he's late on reads which causes bad passes and puts a lot of pressure on the offensive line to hold their blocks for a longer time.

criticism doesn't mean he's the worst ever, it just shows some of the things he needs to work on.

How is being realistic being hate? I like the guy. I just don't slobber all over him like some here.

Honestly? I think he plays until his rookie deal goes out whether it's good or bad. Then Cooper Rush may get a shot. But unless we are historically bad to where we get a top 3 pick? I don't think they draft that season.

Okay... be fair in your criticism of Dak. What does he do well? Where does he need work? I'm listening.

Because you are breaking down only footage of his poor games to determine how good he can be. No one is asking you to slobber him. Why do you have to go such extremes? You either can hate him or slobber him?

Then you would think this video is one sided.
It is onesided. Never said it wasn't. It's pointing out the guys flaws. So what? For the most part it's fair. Dak does a lot of good things too, but there is nothing wrong about pointing out his flaws. It's amazing how people have an almost pathological need to defend him. His play speaks for itself (both good and bad).

He has poor footwork, he had accuracy issues last season....didn't trust his pocket last season and bailed out too quick.....hes mobile and he does a great job of not taking unnecessary hits. He's shown he can make most throws but last season struggled to drop back and scan the field mostly after Tyron got hurt. He throws well on the run and last season showed solid accuracy while doing it. Your turn.

I don't know the guy's motivation (but suspect it is against Dak), but I don't believe that it projects on how good he will be, where he needs work. At least that's what I take away from watching the plays in question.

I completely agree with your points. That makes me a hater?

Yes. You seem to be presuming that most people have never seen Dak play, so the evil video is being unfair to Dak. I know what Dak does well and what he doesn't. It's interesting to see some of what I've noticed in the video. The point of the video is to point out Dak's flaws, not to be fair and balanced towards Dak. The video is not perfect, but makes some good points.

Be as condescending as you want, I couldn't care less.
That wasn't my point of asking. Without knowing the details of the plays there are some unfairly judged. Like in a collapsed pocket with nowhere to go Dak throws it away. That was a good decision, not claiming Dak missed an open WR. (That he had no way of seeing). Then it's compared to seasoned veteran QBs with good protection completing a pass. I have no issue critiquing Dak. But this video is one of a handful by the same person who has an agenda against Dak. That's it. Nothing wrong with pointing out mistakes, just don't make bs up to fit your narrative.

I'll add that he holds the ball too long sometimes and needs to improve his throwing mechanics because he has a serious hitch in them that slows his delivery. He "alligator arms" some of his throws. He can throw a nice deep throw on the run too. Would love to see more boots and roll outs from Linehan.

Okay... your turn. Critique Dak... both good and bad.

No. I never called you a hater. My problems come with people using Akoyes videos as gospel. It's a biased view of Dak. It's not balanced at all.
I never said it was the gospel. I just said it made some good points (even though it is somewhat flawed).
