Is Dak Prescott just another Tim Tebow?

[TheSport78]

There are serious concerns about Prescott's arm strength, QB awareness and accuracy up to this point in his career; he simply cannot make the NFL throws and has QB tunnel vision. I think it's safe to say he has regressed since his rookie year and this is alarming, especially for a QB expected to be the "franchise guy."

With that being said, at this point in Dak's career, he reminds me of Tim Tebow's struggles in the NFL. If the Cowboys want to be smart about this, they'll ride out this year with Prescott, clean house with the coaching staff (other than Kris Richard) and begin looking for a true franchise QB in the 1st round next year.

Literally nothing you have said is true.

And no, he is not Tebow. He has thrown 45 tds in his career...tebow 17. Tebow couldn't even complete more than 50% of his balls. Hello, are you insane?

 

[Section446]

Pretty much... Except Tebow seemed to figure out a way to come through when the game was on the line.

Watch the tape. It's apparent you have not.

Is there a QB next year?

Justin Herbert from Oregon and Drew Lock from Missouri come to mind.

My opinion doesn't really matter because until Dak proves he can move the ball in the passing game teams are going to keep loading the box and dare him to do it. There was a stat in the tweets thread yesterday that said Carolina had something like 8 players in the box 59% of the time. We need to be able to be successful passing in that situation.

 

[Cowboys22]

Not Tebow. I’d say more like Jason Campbell. He knows how inaccurate he is so he now will only throw to wide open WRs. That means he has to hold onto the ball way too long until he finds a WR he is comfortable throwing to. This is exactly what JC evolved into. He was soon a backup and then gone. That is Dak’s future as well.

He's worse than Tebow.

Tebow is better. TT won a playoff game.

He is not as BAD as Tebow...but be clear....Dak is a backup. He MIGHT....MIGHT get a little better with combating the way he is being defended...but there are certain things he will NOT get better at....his accuracy....short or long....simply is not starting NFL caliber....and his inability to make throws outside the hashes will not get better. He does not have the arm talent to make those throws. Neither the strength or the accuracy. That is the case for a lot of NFL QBs...but those are mostly backups. Dak is a backup.

 

[Ken]

Watch the tape. It's apparent you have not.

I have watched it multiple times. I have also watched multiple other qb's tapes from last week....you have not.

 

[HungryLion]

Dak has been playing like crap lately.

That being said, the Tebow comparisons are just lazy and quite frankly inaccurate.

Dak at his worst is a better passer than Tebow ever was, and Tebow never played anywhere close to the level Dak was playing at, prior to the Atlanta game.

The weird thing is, that was my reaction when Dallas drafted him. He reminded me of Tebow so much in college. But then 2016 happened and I thought I was wrong, but I'm heading back to where I was now.

I still think the biggest problem with his arm strength is his footwork. It's ridiculous that he still throws so many flatfooted of falling backwards. It's rare that he steps into one and fires.

 

[blueblood70]

maybe not TT but hes looking a lot like some other Average QBs with too many issues to be a #1 fulltime Tyrod Taylor, James Winston, Quincy Carter,and other in that same category just never improve what you see is what you get..he keeps talking ill change my mechanics and get better yet in game action hes still holding the ball too ;long, only seeing half the field, locking into his #1one on that playcall and throwing off his back foot..it hasn't changed, it was covered up in 2016 because the line was creating perfect pocket and zeke was running wild on the league..hes been exposed, I like Dak I hope he succeeds but right now Hes a backup trying to be a #1 and living off fumes from 16..with pockets gone, SL not using Zeke or when zeke was out, Dak cant win games on his own..I thought Dak could be a McNab Type or hopes to be Rwilson but now we seem to be getting an Imposter for 2016..Rg3 issue was his thin no muscle body couldn't keep his game going but at least he could drop deep balls on people all day long and tried to stretch the field, Dak is simply not confident and he plays scared and stiff.Game 1 he didnt even take off and run like he used to and had holes, hes forcing balls off his back foot like halfway between should I run and last minute throws poor pass.=p

Very informative, and yes I have.

 

[Ken]

Very informative.

Awesome comeback. Why don't you go read my breakdown a few posts down from this one and see what I watched. Then you can dispute that, deal?

STOP with the Dak threads, geez!!

 

[DallasCowboys2080]

Tebow won a playoff game. Dak hasn't. Not sure why a comparison is being made. Tebow also kneeled.

yup and our TE and WR were open because of this all 1 on 1 man back there and if Romo were here he would have destroyed man as he always did, he recognized it early ad knew where he was going on the snap and if that was covered scan the field quick and let it go with confidence..sure guys like Romo , Stafford, Cousins, Big ben, rivers, and many other even look at week one with Keenum etc force balls sometimes as they are overconfident and look to make the big play, it can cost them games..Derek Carr did it they lost but in some ways id rather have that than scared unconfident QB who whos trying for layups' instead of alley ops and dunks..you win some and lose some with high risk guys but at least they are always looking for the edge the big play to make something happen..when have you ever seen Dak have wide open underneath guy ignored and instead just huck it to the other deeper guy trying for the chunk yard? not many times at all if he sees a short pass open he never looks up the next level, hes happy.. hes the true definition of bus driver who are typically backups now.. Even a career bus driver like Alex Smith changed last year as he was given weapons and a green light by the coach to just let it go and he was hitting 50Yard dimes downfield..it got him third contract Dak is not growing and the thing that alwarms me the most is he has the most issues with the dang screens and flat throws 5ft from him wheel routes turning into pick 6s..seriously nearly had another.. Bus drivers live on these supposed low risk easy passes and Dak showing hes having issues with this now..I wish him luck and hope he turns it around but im being dragged from supporter to awoken with reality that Daks not the future.
