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

[Whirlwin]

Yep as this is unacceptable for a Franchise QB.....

Come on buddy, you’re only as good as your receivers let you be. Maybe if they could get some separation, it would be nice. We seen what he could do with certain receivers and what he can’t do with others. I hope they make this about him the playcalling, not about with someone wants to do . Yes I like Kellen Moore, but it was more about him than the team.

 

[Whirlwin]

I’d like to see dak lead his receivers better.

Well, that would depend on the route

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Accuracy, wide receiver, plays a big part in that. Unless you’re throwing at a target. And that doesn’t tell you anything.

How many TD and yardage have been lost due to Dak's inaccuracy issues not being able to lead the WR and TE?
Remember that game in Philly for the division title where he missed Austin 2 times that were easy TD and we would be playoff bound.
Or that pass he over thru to Gallup in our loss to the Saints 12-10.

yet he is rated high in any of the QB stats you just claimed he is bad at. and his completion rate is among the best in the league..

at some point you have to take your head out of your arse so you can breath..... why do you insist on making an arse of yourself?

btw, do you remember the 50 yard pass to TY Hilton against eagles last year?

Let it go. Romo is gone. he is dead. what ever Dak did to your mom, is water under the bridge. let the hate go. get him out of your head. its better for you

I feel like a lot of people say this and ignore the fact that it's true for...every quarterback.

It also ignores the fact that many of those throws "behind WRs" are thrown that way purposely, away from a zone defender, so that the WR doesn't get killed.

I've seen quarterbacks who have not had as much of a problem with that throw as Dak has, but have problems with other throws. And yes, the ball can be purposely thrown behind a receiver to avoid a defender, but that was not the case in the examples I was thinking of. Dak needed to lead the receivers, but threw behind them.

It doesn't mean he's a bad quarterback or one we can't win with. It's just not his strength. I don't remember many problems with it last year, though, so maybe he either worked to improve them or we limited those type of throws some.

Dak is the top rated QB named “Dak”
Unfortunately, he is also the worst rated qb named “Dak”

Why do you always remember the miserable?

 

[blueblood70]

He threw the lowest catchable but inaccurate rate in the entire league so this would actually bode well for a WC style offense.

The bottom line is that year in and year out, Dak is rated one of the most accurate passers in the league. I think his interceptions don't usually tend to come from inaccurate balls, but accurately thrown balls that come out late and should never be thrown in the first place.

nope that inaccurate..

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Why do you always remember the miserable?

7 Years of misery bud if you consider the talent that has been around Dakko.
Name me some of his signature moments you know big games when Dak shined and made Cowboy Nation proud?
Please no Eagles game without Hurts or the Hawks and Bucs playoff wins as the first one was due to Zeke and the 2nd one was against an 8-9 playoff team.
I'm Waiting......please post so my misery goes away.
And Waiting.....

nope thats inaccurate.

so you are asking Prescott to do something that no other quarterbacks in the NFL that are considered great to the best do?

It’s far safer with the ball than some of the greats like Peyton Manning and Brett Favre and his touchdown interception ratio is better than treatment and Roger Staubach’s so how is his interceptions any different from everyone else’s that means all quarterbacks are doing the same thing they see something they think they can make the throw they throw it don’t many quarterbacks that throw under 10 receptions a year and he only has 65 for his entire career...hmmm

So you want him to be better than the best because I’ve already said this for the last few months there are quarterbacks out there like John Elway and others I have far more interceptions in their career and in the playoffs and in the games then Prescott??

The proof is he doesn’t throw a lot of interceptions, last year was an anomaly ,we called an outlier but even if he does go a few more than he usually does seems to be par for the course because most quarterbacks throw interceptions and many throw far more at a higher rate than Prescott???

so you're telling me that the list below their interceptions somehow count less? they were all well thought out interceptions that didn't affect the team. lmao

[blueblood70]

Maybe you are thinking of 2020, when the whole line was hurt and Andy Dalton got stuck QBing behind that backup line?

2022 was one year ago, 2021 was 2 years ago, 2020 was 3 years ago, etc

Year before last.......2021 Final Ranking was #1

here it is

2021 PFF Final O-Line Rankings

1. DALLAS COWBOYS​

LT Tyron Smith | 91.9
LG Connor Williams | 76.4
C Tyler Biadasz | 64.8
RG Zack Martin | 94.2
RT La’el Collins | 84.0

The Cowboys' offensive line was back to its best this regular season. That resurgence was driven by the return of some of its best players who have missed time with injuries or seen their play fall off because of them.

Tyron Smith earned a 91.9 PFF grade this season, a career high and the first time he has been above 90.0 since 2015. He allowed 11 pressures across 460 pass-blocking snaps. Zack Martin was again one of the best linemen in the game, and the unit's weakest link — center Tyler Biadasz — critically improved his performances and was solid overall. Only Tampa Bay’s line posted a better pass-blocking efficiency score than Dallas this season, and they were blocking for far less time on average.

--------
but like I said, it's PFF so they have some major flaws

they may have been good when they built up those rankings in the middle of the season but once Steele went down the lG position was shuffled and played around at RT , or against the better front sevens, they were average at best and had a bad ranking in Pass rush win rate.. that's a fact

go look how the season ended against say Washington and few other games Plus the Playoff against the niners... Tony Pollard last five games 3.8 yards per carry, 51 yards per game, no explosive plays.. They just were not that good for a long stretch at the end of the year.. This has never been about how you ranked for 17 games this is how you finish the season against the best teams and the offensive line the last three playoff losses were not good...

There was a reason the run game suffered, and you watch a lot of plays and it only takes a few to mess up the flow of the offense especially against the Niners...

ranking are over 17 games but most are accumulated during 7-8 games then some average games, and then some bad ones.. we finished bad mostly due to the OL..couldnt run well and the passes had to be out fast or it was off badly..

Anyway, here's to hoping the Cowboys avoid the injury plague this year and roll

I know this wasn't for me....and I agree with the premis that even the best make mistakes.

But I'm sure you realize you can never, ever seriously compare passing stats from 30-40 years ago to anything recently.
Even 10-15 years ago was different than now, let alone way back in the 70s.
It's not remotely comparable for a long list of reasons

I'm sure you know that and were just making a point.

 

[blueblood70]

I posted that to show the flaws in PFF, not to say Dallas had the #1 O-line in 2021.

Anyway, here's to hoping the Cowboys avoid the injury plague this year and roll

either way I wanted to remind folks that yes there are moments throughout the year that every player or positional group plays great enough to affect a ranking it's not that the rankings are wrong the rankings and the stats were built during a good stretch so good that it averages out the bad stuff and it looks good on paper but in the big moments towards the end of the year some of it has to do with injuries maybe some has to do with fatigue the offensive line just has not been good the last three playoff games against the Rams and the Niners and you know how good their front 7s have been

so yes our offensive line is above average most years but when it comes to playing in the biggest moment against the best defensive lines and the front sevens they literally struggle and it blows up our entire offensive scheme. I mean it's not Chaz green bad by any means and like you said in 2020 that there were eleven different groups on the field there were so many injuries and without Prescott they just never had a shot,

but if we wanna get back to a NFC championship game the offensive line has to play better our run game needs to be better they need to have a little cleaner pocket and less penalties I mean 2021 against the Niners they had 11 penalties just along the line I mean you can't run an offense that way and people here think that the quarterback is responsible for overcoming that mess and he cannot there were not many quarterbacks built to overcome that type of offensive line play when you're playing the best defenses he may be able to make it happen but when it's against the best you better play well on all groups and all positions...

You know margin of error is so slim when you're playing a team that's as good or better than you, you can't make those mistakes.

So again, my observations from the last three playoff losses it started with the offensive line is the reason we can't score points or move the ball consistently or have big plays called back...

I'm sure you know that and were just making a point.

OK so Troy Aikman wasn't 30 years ago I guess it was close but I added it in Peyton Manning, first 97 game he and dak very comparable.

I mean Josh Allen is a turnover machine and just recently we saw Matthew Stafford have 20 turnovers and still win a Super Bowl despite 2 INts in that game.. I mean did Eli Manning not lead the league in interceptions three years in his career and yet somehow he got two Super Bowls???

I made sure I brought that into the point recent history it's we're putting Prescott up against other quarterbacks whether it's 30 years ago or 10 years ago he rates very well and yet people just don't see it...


But also you have to take into account not at era correction the fact is Troy Aikman and Roger Staubach had better teams they had better offensive lines better coaches better defenses and they still made a bunch of mistakes.

We can't ask Tony Romo or Prescott to be perfect and that's what most of this group is asking says well don't make the mistakes in the critical part of the game or in the big games be more careful with the ball well apparently those other quarterbacks also don't listen they also have problems and they historically are ranked better than Prescott even right now people put Josh Allen over Prescott and I'm gonna say why?? Because he can run better?

, I mean he hasn't done anything in the NFL as far as stats go and really just getting one game better than Prescott he leads the league in turnovers since he was drafted but people still are putting him in the top three.. That's my argument the cowboy fan sit here and say he needs to be more careful with the ball he needs to be smarter and yet when you're playing in a live game and things are going on if you look at all the other quarterbacks that's played here and anywhere else over the last decade you're gonna find they all made mistakes.. You know the difference is their teams were better they had better coaching and they had better adjustments in those games to come back and win..

Nope. We just know that the most important guy isn't good enough, and is holding an otherwise ready to win a SB roster back.
