You sound like you're this guy's publicist.

Ranked #10 in 2 catagories and unranked in 2 more. #10 ????? Twice?????

Yes, he routinely disrespects the quality of Dak's play.

But, opinions are like rectums . . . almost all have one.

....and he had Dak Top 6 in three of the five categories he had him ranked.

One of the two categories he didn't have Dak ranked at all was "rushing ability." Do you really want to argue against that?

 

[Praxit]

...oh oh .. the coaches thread has opened up.

Dak this and Dak that. He cant do this and cant do that.

Why? The world has more QB coaches than any other position.. ..

Card carrying member of the CHIC group. CHIC = Cowboy Hater Industrial Complex.

I have never liked that weasel (Orlovsky) nor his content.

I am not a Dak hater or lover but I trust my eyes. Obviously he is basing his reads on something more than the obvious, mostly he's basing his assessments on his emotions. He is easy to despise.

So you disagree with him and do not like him. Because he does not think the way you do about Dak.
I am not a Dak hater or lover either. But the fan eye test is not a good way to judge a player. Many other factors involved.
Hw can any QB play his part, when other players do not do their part. It works the opposite way as well.

Ok. Wut?

 

[jazzcat22]

Dak, on the whole, comes off as kinda average.

How so?
He has been consistently ranked top 10 for years by many people in the media. Even the biased against the Cowboys people have him in the top 10.

 

[BobSacamano]

Dan O is unwatchable, unreadable, and unlistenable. He is a total squid.

His face needs fist.

 

[jazzcat22]

Dan O I believe is a Giants fan. But he always seemed to say decent things about the Cowboys.
And some don't like it.

There are 16 active NFL QBs that were drafted in the overall top five of their draft.

QBs don't get drafted that high without having a strong arm as one of their primary traits.

Dak has many fine traits but I don't think arm strength is one of them, comparatively.

Leadership, work ethic and resiliency are Dak's primary features.

That’s why so many strong arm prospects fail. They can’t manage the velocity of their throws. Milton is a case in point.

Touch is a very underrated trait amongst draft niks.

True but I'll add to that you must vary velocity You need to know when to use it and when not to and Prescott does that fine he can do tight window throws and really sling it when he wants He doesn't have the strongest arm in the NFL but he definitely has NFL arm I've seen him make all those throws but he also knows when to lob it when to pitch it when they hang it in the air I mean he's definitely wasn't like that as a rookie even though he played great he is now learned how to throw the ball to each situation that needs it back shoulder throws you take things off I mean every throw stronger varying velocities and the air time... But anybody says he doesn't have a strong arm doesn't pay attention because there are times where he was actually buzzing that ball into very tight windows and it got there some of it too hot to handle for some of the receivers in 2022 who let half his interceptions bounce off their hands It's all I need to know..

.....on the hole, yes.

 

[shabazz]

Of course not. But as you just said, you don’t have to have a rocket arm to lead the league in passing yardage. You just have to be great.

Even though both of our last two QB'S had/have warts, they are/were good enough to at least be in a SB if their defenses were as good as Eli Mannings were.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

With that point, no QB rated was a 2-way player nor did Orlavsky rate tackling skills

That is too bad.
But the fact remains for all the accolades afforded to Dak, 10 years of frustration remain.
And, yes, Orlovsky didn't rate tackling skills. You'll have to wait until he does, then we can continue with the Dak excuses for 10 years of nonfeasance.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

How so?

How many Super Bowls has your god Dak brought us?
How many NFC championships?
That's right, lets carry Dak on our shoulders as a hero. Some fans seem so satisfied with the status quo.
I pity them.

Not to sound childish and immature but I cannot stand this dork…..

You are neither. The guy is an insufferable clown.

 

[ShiningStar]

3rd in passing yards last year. Pretty damn good arm.

who cares, Dak gets the job done, none of his teammates play antics on the field against him, the team would win more if the owner was for it, tho i think Jerry does want to win this year. Dak was a 4th round pick who has been above and beyond. No need for him to have haters.
