Is there a stat on daks arm strength / velocity?

[Streifenkarl]

Is "meh" a statistical measurement?

It's a status quo.

I heard he made Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs.

 

[jwitten82]

It does seem like his passes lack zip this year. That was never a complaint I had of him

Dak's arm speed was 54mph. Rush was 45mph

Josh Allen, for example was at 62mph

Herbert was at 54-55

etc.

anything outside of 20 yards is cringe-worthy for Dak. Either our guys can't get separation or he just can't throw downfield with any zip on the ball

well, last year he was 2nd in the league in throws of 20+ yards...right behind Purdy of all people. and he had 7 completions of 40+ yards, again Purdy leading with 14.

so then there is that!

I have noticed that too. his velocity is way down. too much difference year to year. there is something wrong with his shoulder as his throwing motion is funky

 

[Pipelayer72]

Is this one of those size doesn't matter, it's the motion in the ocean things?

 

[erod]

I disagree. The faster you get it there the harder it is to defend. Look at the jets tonight all these wr are getting major yac

The problem is the "there".

It could be anywhere.

 

[Whirlwin]

Doesn't really matter. Accuracy, reads and timing are more important than strength/velocity.

I don’t agree with this. If you can’t make that outside, throw. You’re not going to survive in the NFL accuracy receivers can help make up for some of that.

This season will eliminate the last four Dakovites left on this forum.
Too bad the rest of us have to endure the insane mistake.

 

[shabazz]

True love is never having to ask if Rayne to have a rocket arm.....just cherish him as he is.

To me Dak, inherently, not having enough arm strength or accuracy is a performance mischaracterization. Career wise he ranks as one of the top passers, comparative to even some of the elite receivers. I think it comes down to Dak being an inconsistent passer under pressure and poor decision making courtesy of today's aggressive and smarter defenses. As a post season caliber starting quarterback you have to have an outstanding offensive line, deep quality receiving corps, and running game as well as being backed by a run stopping, solid turnover bent defense to consistently have game winning success.

Aikman, was one of our most accomplished starting quarterbacks a few decades ago. In our team's most successful seasons led by Aikman, he also had outstanding running support, a formidable defense and dominant offense line to back him up. Ownership, general and executive management are largely to blame for our overall inconsistency due to questionable coaching staff and player acquisitions over too many years.
Add the persistent lack of quality long term team development planning is it a wonder then why our team can't recapture its dominance since the 90's, despite the greater player free agency and the salary cap management era?

 

[Coogiguy03]

He had enough of something to get 60 million a year!!!! We know how good of talent jerry and stephen are when it comes to player evals!


Let's not get it twisted, Dak's arm isn't great at all on the deep ball I should say, when wr's have to adjust most of the time it's not good, why can't we have a pass where the WR is being lead and can keep on running

 

[Jarv]

It’s out there. They time velocity at the combine now.
Dak was 54mph!
Mahommes 56mph
Herbert was 58mph
Allen highest ever timed at 61mph
D Watson 48… remember that because a lot of people on this board were pushing trading for him at time
Rush 45
Those are the one I can remember.
The average was between 52 and 55. Only a handful of the 30+ players broke the 55 mark!

Thank you, great stats.

Do they have the same for quick release. I thought I heard Marino had a fast release as did Romo.

When I watch Dak it seems like his motion takes forever.

 

[Jarv]

That's impossible!!!

You guys will look for anything....lmao. Whatever his arm strength is, it's never been a problem. Staubach lacked arm strength. Danny White, Romo....it's not that important...smh.

Staubach did not lack arm strength. Danny White did.

 

[Havic]

A lot of it has to do with his awkward throwing motion when he is on the run. Idk whether it’s rust or not from not playing any preseason games but yes he looks like he lacks zip or is choosing to float it instead. He about got Tolbert killed on one of those decisions

well when you run that slow, it's got to be hard to lift your arm up to throw a pass

 

[Creeper]

Dak's arm is strong enough. There have been successful QBs in the NFL with much weaker arms than Dak. I don't think Romo had a stronger arm than Dak.

Sometimes we see strong armed QBs with no touch. That's as bad if not worse than having a weak arm.

I would like to see the Cowboys go downfield more than they have been but is that Dak, or McCarthy? The Cowboys seem to prefer 15 play drives over quick strikes, but that could be Dak choosing the shorter safer passes.
