Mike Leach on QB accuracy

[erod]

There is no coach that can teach Dak how to throw a football. You're either accurate, or you're not.

This isn't about poise. Dak has poise. So it isn't an experience fix that comes with getting "comfortable". Dak is comfortable.

And that's a problem because this just comes down to lack of ability.

Darius Jackson can practice all he wants, but he'll never be Zeke. Dak can work himself to the bone, but he'll never be an elite passer.

It’s easier to take a short stop and teach them to play QB?

But...but...but...he’s Dak and he play’s for the Cowboys! The homers will never get this.

lol, you Dak haters are something else....if it's not true say it anyway and hope somebody buys into it....no proof required.

 

[Corso]

Dak isn't accurate? Who knew? Thanks guys! Hard hitting stuff!

 

[superonyx]

Yea!!!!
Another thread where we pretend a guy who completed 67% of his passes with 67 TD's and only 25 Int and a career QB rating of 96 can't throw the football well enough to play at this level.

And you homers are even worse.

His point is, shortstops are chosen partly for their consistent accuracy. They are accurate by nature.

Same goes for accurate quarterbacks.

 

[Stash]

When do we get the ********, ambiguous statement about the "no measurements" for accuracy bit?


That always follows when someone actually produces the statistics and numbers to kill these "arguments".

 

[CF74]

Dak is not comfortable, Dak has happy feet. Fix his footwork and he gets better, not Elite, but better...

Yeah, but "I watch the games!!!!!!"

The entire knowledgeable football world of former players, coaches, and analysts constantly discusses Dak's accuracy issues, but of course, it's made up.

Swing passes and dump downs don't count. Dak simply REFUSES to make most throws, and when he does let it go down the seam, it ain't pretty at all.

Well said and put in an offensive game plan that’s better suited to his skill set.

When he gets happy feet, it's because he knows he can't make the throw he should, so he holds it.

He likes to go down the deep sideline, and quick ins and outs and dump-offs. Seam routes or anything deep into windows in zone defenses is scary as hell to him. He just doesn't trust his arm.

The same argument, all with zero statistical support.

I sometimes wonder if you've ever watched a whole game......

Dak COULDN'T be comfortable in the pocket. Jesus.

Some things should stay in your head.......

Troy has said the same thing.

We are continuing to try and make this work but it is what it is.

In other words, a college offense, which will get trashed in the NFL.

The final 8 quarterbacks in the playoffs were Brady, Brees, Goff, Rivers, Mahomes, Foles, Luck, and Dak.

Only one of those quarerbacks isn't comfortable in the pocket. That's where the elite NFL is played.

I do watch them, and understand them. Then there's you.

Right

If Dak wasn’t wearing a Star on his helmet they’d be more critical too.

Remember most of us see the qualities and assets Dak skill set presents but are simply critical that he isn’t a prolific passer.

That doesn’t mean we can’t win A championship with him as we’ve obviously had some success . But it’s just going to be tougher.
