Is Dak Prescott just another Tim Tebow?

[morasp]

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.

Romo would have loved to have Zeke and this offensive line. Part of the reason he was such a good scrambler was because our offensive line was so bad for so many years.

Think this the same dude who posted last time about dak and Tebow.

 

[kelc]

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?

Im not throwing Dak under the bus after the first game of the season but their are real concerns about his throwing ability. To many times last season he reminded me of Brandon Weeden ,3rd and long and he is throwing 5 yard passes that have no chance of picking up first downs. I would point out the rest of the league fells that way to,why do you think we see 8 and 9 man fronts?

all I am saying is this isn't really intended to be a Romo vs Dak post as this site hates Romo supporters BUT like 2014 with Murry etc if the defense dared to stack the box and pout Dez and company 1on1 Romo made them pay more times then he didnt..its in black and white its called STATS Romo didnt become the Cowboys all time leder in Td-INT ratio TD totals, passing yards, QBR and many Others being a bus driver type..he sometimes had those games where he threw a few INT taking Risks but he built his career on being aggressive like those I mentioned..The lions will take game 1 it happens as Stafford is always trying to make plays, ill take that over a QB who is dink dunk happy, hes comfortable with just being Average and staying inside the lines..first level passing trees is all he seemed to be focused on and all those guys coming open 20-50yards downfield are flat being ignored and thats what has me concerned..id rather see rush and White making mistakes while actually growing and using the entire field..

There are serious concerns about Prescott's arm strength, QB awareness and accuracy up to this point in his career

1. Per his NFL draft profile: " Has enough natural arm strength and hip snap to fit throws into an NFL window'
Does he have a rifle arm? No, but he doesn't have "serious" concerns about arm strength.
2. QB awareness: "When protected better in 2014, showed an ability to challenge deep and strike with accuracy and touch." He's show awareness in the past.
3. Accuracy: He has a career completion percentage of 65.2. That's better than all but 6 NFL quarterbacks all time, better than Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan, Phillip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger.

He needs to be better, but he's not a horrible, awful, pathetic, bottom level, etc. quarterback. At this point he is average, needs to improve in some areas, but nobody gets drafted to the NFL with all the problems you state....

In the last game there were at least 4-5 times where Dak had probably 5-6 seconds in the pocket, and NOBODY was open. No point in throwing long if there's nobody to throw to...

He didn’t show that on Sunday.
Does he have a rifle arm? No, but he doesn't have "serious" concerns about arm strength.
2. QB awareness: "When protected better in 2014, showed an ability to challenge deep and strike with accuracy and touch." He's show awareness in the past.
“In the past” is the key term; teams have accrued game film on Dak and he’s now shown his tendencies and flaws. He’s regressing.
3. Accuracy: He has a career completion percentage of 65.2. That's better than all but 6 NFL quarterbacks all time, better than Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan, Phillip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger.
I don’t like completion percentage stats; it’s clear that Dak loves to check the ball down and is hesitant to make intermediate and deep throws. This could lead to an inflated and misleading high completion percentage, but this doesn’t equal efficiency.
He needs to be better, but he's not a horrible, awful, pathetic, bottom level, etc. quarterback. At this point he is average, needs to improve in some areas, but nobody gets drafted to the NFL with all the problems you state....

See above.

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.

Let 2018 play out then your road map may be appropriate

But the guys who review the tape said they were always open LA. Who am I supposed to believe? Maybe I'll start watching tape, I'm not much for following the herd lol

Can Dak play baseball like Tebow?

 

[Doomsday]

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

Which means absolutely nothing in a team sport. That is as lazy as saying Brad Johnson is better then Dan Marino because he won a Super Bowl.

Dak completed over 60% of his passes, Tebow was around 50%. Tebow would look to take off and run, Dak buys time to try and make plays down the field.

Dak has his issues but he doesn't play anything like Tebow.

Agreed. It's super lazy. Just made for the shock factor and disgust with the player. Emotional not logical.

 

[DogFace]

I think he bounces back Sunday with a very good game.

 

[jnday]

The truth is that Dak is playing the QB position the same way he has played it all the way back in his college days. The Dak that everybody is complaining about, is the same Dak that played at Mississippi State. His rookie year was nothing more than a happy accident. Dak has always been very inconsistent passing the ball and he is not capable of completing the long passes. I was shocked by his rookie season because he was so much better than his college days. I thought that I was totally wrong about him after his rookie year, but he returned to playing like his old self and he is now playing the same as he always has. He is a good kid, but he is not a NFL QB. I only hope that Dallas won't waste anymore time on him and they draft a real QB in the next draft.

 

[bornafan1981]

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.

This is the comparison I was thinking of. When JC was in his last year in WASH, their line was so terrible I remember seeing a stat where he was getting hit less than 2 seconds of the ball being snapped. That is the look Dak had on Sunday, like he is still shell shocked from the Atlanta game.

 

[staubach24]

I had questions as to how good Dak was his first year and how much success was due to him directly. And then I saw a QB skills competition on ESPN in the off-season. More specifically, where they had to hit moving targets from different distances. He had 3 QB's go before him, all of them with moderate success, and then he went and was wildly innaccurate. And ever since then I've questioned just how good he was. I understand it was just playful competition but he just seemed like he didn't belong on a level with the others. He's not as bad as Tebow, he ain't a whole lot better either.

Just tell me you weren't serious when you started this thread.

There are no, and never have been, concerns about Dak's arm strength. This was an idea passed around by some sheeples who have no idea.

Or you mean the sheepies who keep preaching to us, that infact he is a stud and the next coming of Brett Favre right ?!

You shouldn't listen to those guys either.

The extremes in any argument are always wrong and not worth listening to. If you were exaggerating to make a point, I'd think it was funny. That's why I asked if it was serious.
