Mythbuster: Does Cowboys QB Dak Prescott have an Accuracy Problem?

[WillieBeamen]

BullShiet…. you are a piece of work as always...you and leeblair, two trolls from the same womb perhaps...pathetic

Im a troll because I called you out and put you on blast?

 

[johneric8]

Dak is accurate enough, and stats do not support he chokes in big games try again. If you do deep analysis you will find that it was Garrett that choked when it came to gameplanning and managing our players more than it was Dak not getting it done. If a guy is close to be open Dak will hit him.

but but but, 8-8 waaahhhh waaahhhh….but but his leadership waaahhhhh waaaahhhh

Pretty sad when 8-8 isn't a waaaahh waaaahh moment and instead people curl up an purrrr at someone supposed stats Team fan vs player fan I suppose.

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

Two really good metrics to measure a QB on are accuracy while under pressure and degree of difficulty of passes.

 

[bigdnlaca]

I saw Dak struggled more when he is standing still throwing short while the target is running an out route.

He seems more comfortable when the target isnt moving or on a go route and he is at his best when he is throwing while scrambling.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Dak is the 3rd most accurate QB on the depth chart?




You hate to see it

 

[PAPPYDOG]

I’ll listen the the likes of Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach over some over weight narcissistic couch potato like you.

Hey, Trollport even you could hit the first target.....

 

[Whirlwin]

He’s only a dink and dunk quarterback. Oh wait he put that myth to bed also. I think he’s as good as the time he has.But what quarterback can’t see that

 

[Whirlwin]

LOL. Every QB has that problem. He chokes? LOL!!!!!

We have one more games when he’s had the ball in his hands last. I don’t call that choking

 

[Rockport]

Hey, Trollport even you could hit the first target.....

Keep embarrassing your self with your Dak hate going against the likes of Aikman and Staubach. Keep it up, it’s so entertaining.

 

[Whirlwin]

I can tell you every single person who votes against Prescott before we even start the conversation. It’s not even worth having it any longer. No it’s not perfect but it doesn’t suck like they would like you to think

 

[Whirlwin]

The great Bryant . Jason Witten Who threw them there first ever playoff touchdown passes. Under pressure. It’s not who you think

And you can take it to the bank the majority of them would vote pro-Romo on issues related to him. The Dak hate predominately stems from 2016. These immature children just can’t get over it.

You know I understand the loyalty for Tony Romo. But just a hit on a quarterback because of him. really is it ignorant it Makes you think they gave up on the team because of it. Imagine Wanting your team to lose because you hate the quarterback so they can see I said so

They have become what they once hated.
Romo was blamed the same way too, they just chose to defend Romo whereas they chose to blame Dak now.

 

[Whirlwin]

If Prescott and Company can play like they did his first season. Which shows he’s capable of it. Under this new head coach I can see a championship

I wouldn't consider a first year a standard. Teams weren't expecting Dak, so he played much better. Elway, P. Manning, Aikman, etc., performed horribly their first year (compared to where they would end up). If Dak's trajectory was the same as the aforementioned quarterbacks given their first year of play, he would have led the Cowboys to the Super Bowl by now.

It's not just about completion percentage. It's also about ball placement. Can Dak put the ball right on the money where the receiver doesn't have to reach behind himself or make athletic adjustments in order to make the catch. The truth is, Dak is not good at pinpoint accuracy, and never has been his whole career. He has other qualities that have helped to make up for that weakness. He's durable, reads defenses, and is mobile. So that brings up the big question if you spend big money to keep him or if you look elsewhere. That's a hard question. It's never been an easy answer. Here's a video by Quarterback School that goes over Dak's abilities, fairly IMO.



The same guy analyzes Dad some more in his discussion if the Cowboys should pay him big money to keep him. That video is here.



Whether to give him a big pay day to keep him is not an easy question. It's a difficult and complicated one, and anyone who says otherwise is oversimplifying things. There is the option of going with Dalton short-term and then drafting one or more quarterbacks. That option comes with its own set of complications and would also be a very tough decision to make. Take these videos for what they're worth. IMO, they're good and fair analysis, though I believe they were made before the signing of Dalton.
