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.
Hurts is a much better deep ball passer than Dak.

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.

@PAPPYDOG
Would you like me to send you a picture of myself so you can place it next to your bed as you seem to be very obsessed with the PAPPYDOG?
Jeez I know I'm a likable guy but unless you're DAK incognito you have a serious PAPPYDOG crush...... :muttley:

The management must do a better job protecting and building a team for Dak. That's all I hear on this forum.
:omg: :popcorn:
no, expectations are to build a better team. not just for Dak, but I can understand Bash Dak crowd reading it that way. the rest of us care about winning. which includes defensive improvements.

I know it is weirdly worded but you actually want to be number 1 in that category (well all of them you would). Basically they are saying those 5 QBs threw the least number of uncatchable and inaccurate throws by percentage in the NFL.
I know I was laughing at the fact that Matt Ryan after last season is number one in anything….

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."

Constantly astounded so many think PFF is worth something. Personally, I think a bucket of cold spit is worth more than any of PFF's so called expert analyses.

What is illegitimate about this analysis though? This isn't an opinion piece it's advanced stats. Advanced stats aren't everything but they do tell you important information about the players.

#18 in what? This isn't filtered by anything, it's just a list of quarterbacks. All this list shows is that Dak has about the same amount of poor throws per game as Pat Mahomes (5.5)
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
Completion percentage is not a measure of how accurate a QB is.
