Lets not forget what Dez can do

[T-RO]

ehh. some of the throws last night werent that difficult, maybe for dak due to inexperience. but I wouldnt say most qb's couldnt make those throws.

We can certainly can find some throws last night where Dak didn't look like an NFL passer. Just like at other times he looked like Tom Brady.

But in general it is far easier to throw to a receiver that has broken into the open...whether that be via speed, jukes, routes, trickery... or be that from facing less attention from the defense.

Dez is a very unique receiver. He rarely ever comes open. But he's probably the league's best receiver at catching a ball in traffic.

Throwing into traffic--and doing so effectively--is a difficult skill to develop.

With time I think Dak could better learn how to get Dez the ball with better success. But it's inherently difficult.

He's a contested catches guy. Comes with the territory IMO.

That is his strength....his QBs trust him to fight and mostly win on tough throws
