PFF's best quarterbacks by accuracy category: Aaron Rodgers, Dak Prescott and more

Advanced Quarterback Stats (2022) Dak # 18​

Cooper Rush played 8 games?

Where's the data to support year in and year out the most accurate passer? This data sure doesn't support it.
Most accurate quarterback

Using only percentage completion is an overly simplified (and flawed) way to look at it.

A quarterback in a system that throws tons to running backs wide open in the flat, and little 5-yard pitch-and-catch tosses to a tight end will inevitably score well. That doesn't tell even half the story.

I love how your only argument against him is to strawman him as though all QBs are HoF or a scrubs. It does require ignoring that the scouts, GMs, and coaches seem to also have Dak as a top 10 QB. Basically do not believe the experts who get paid to know players, do not believe the numbers that seem to support this assessment, but believe random fans because they know better.

I'll trust my "Eyes" and let these Stat lovers try and convince the masses here that we have a true Franchise that can carry QB.
Pray the defense keeps him in games this coming season.....and let's all PRAY hard baby!!!!

Cliffnotes:
"Dak Prescott's interception total and accuracy rate paint different pictures: The Cowboys' signal-caller recorded the lowest catchable but inaccurate throw rate yet tossed 15 picks in 12 games.

Prescott recently caught heat for vowing to throw fewer than 10 interceptions in 2023. In the 2022 regular season, he tied for the league lead with 15 interceptions despite playing 12 games. With the exception of Matt Ryan, every quarterback to throw at least 10 interceptions played at least 15 games.

Those 15 interceptions are a bit deceiving, though. Two of them were positively graded throws, including the walk-off pick-six against the Jaguars. Another three were zero-graded. It seems like wishful thinking that Prescott will stay under 10 interceptions in a 17-game season (he was one of 14 quarterbacks to throw at least 10 picks in 2022), but given that he was the second-most accurate passer in standard accuracy and the top quarterback in avoiding catchable but inaccurate throws, expect that interception total to at least come down in 2023."

Me thinking is tha we are a scurvied, hollowed bunch.
All this handwringing over uncatchable/ill thrown/cosmic interference!

If you have to keep posting stats to try to convince others you have a great QB then you got problems.

Why did you put eyes in quotations?
So you only trust your eyes over the science, mathematics or experts on everything or just Dak?

There are threads of game film on every aspect of his game... former qb film reviews, play analysis, qb statistics, and leadership all pointing in the direction of Dak being a good/great qb.

What other evidence can you possibly need? and dont say winning in the playoffs/SB, because that takes a team effort.

I know when I see failure and that's Dak's middle name when it comes to games that matter.
All those stats are pretty much based on a weak NFC East he feasted for years and that includes his W-L stat.

P.S. If you need references just hit up teams like the Niners or Broncos heck even the Jags might help you out with this one.

Damn, that makes Hurts look even better. The Eagles only threw to the RB's around 12% of all pass plays, the lowest RB pass usage in the league. I hope Hurts falls back to the pack.

You didnt answer either of my questions, and judging by your comments you didnt read the article. You just assumed what it would say.

Gotta love the off-season when a group of very silly people get drawn offsides by something that was never even said and has long since been cleared up.

its useful, but is not the only measure....however, I bet if you have lower completion percentage, then you are not so highly ranked in the areas in the PFF measures. you have to be able to throw accurate to accuate-plus passes to be able to have high completion percentage. With that said, having a decent WR helps. throwing a bunch of no names and average to below average WRs at a QB, is going to affect his measures.

and regarding your last point, the YP/C, YP/A, AY/A measures help paint the other side of the picture. I have always argued, you can't take one measure in a silo, and its combination of measures that help paint a better picture. so if a QB throws only to RBs and 5 yard hitches, then his YPC, YPA and AYA will be much lower. with that said, I doubt any team has throws to RBs as main stable of their passing offense such that it would affect the QBs measures. so yes, it doesn't tell half the story, it tells part of the story including # of completions/passes to WRs, TEs and RBs.

we pray the defense plays like they did when Rush played. that kind of defense leads to a superbowl win. if that happens, my bet is you will be on suicide watch. you rather see Dallas lose with Dak, than win anything. you are one of the MVPS of Bash Dak over Dallas Cult.

btw, Romo is not coming back. he was trash when he played. easily got replaced by Dak. so time for you to take the posters down.

 

[CowboysFaninHouston]

no one said he is a great QB. that's the narrative of the Bash Dak over Dallas Cult. if you do not hate Dak, then you must think he is great or elite or whatever.

their minds can't wrap around the idea that if you don't hate dak doesn't mean you think he is great. and that Dak can be good QB. not elite. their world is very black and white, with a very thin line separating the two

but he has a 61-36 record. is that Failure?

btw, his %wins against NFC east is the same as non-NFC East....so then there is that....

he doesn't understand football. he has never posted any actual football related comments. its all TMZ. and the only thing he ever posts about is Dak. you will find ZERO posts on any other subject.
he is obsessed with Dak. he is a troll who needs attention and talking about Dak gets attention. Also, Dak did something to him that his anger and hatred towards Dak is on a personal level. Some of his posts, and attacks on Dak go beyond NFL TMZ type comments. Dak lives in his head, rent free. he is obsessed, on a level that's quite concerning.

I think part of it is that their RBs aren't that prolific in pass catching. specially Sanders, their primary RB as he was only targeted 26 times for about 4 yards per catch. compared to Pollard, who was targeted 55 times, for about 9.5 yards per catch.

That's all that matters. If it's a team effort then that matters during the regular season too. It's useless to convince others that he's elite. I used to be a big Dak fan but last year he was at least 90% to blame for that playoff loss. The defense kept them in that game. I don't care but when your QB plays like he's deer in the headlights you don't have a chance. And we won't know if he's gotten over that until next years playoffs. If he just plays average we win.
