Prescott's arm looked sauced

[McCarthyMustGo]

He’s had zip on the ball all season. He’s had strength and power on the football all season. He’s thrown bombs all season..

Prescott most certainly has had his fastball … until today.

Today I saw a bloated Bartolo colon at the end of his career, throwing junk.

Prescott’s zip was missing - nowhere to be found - he couldn’t slice the thin Denver air.

I saw an aging quarterback today arm wise.

For the first time this season.

He may have a dead arm right now, or this could be the first step of a significant downturn.

In today's NFL arm injuries are rare as QBs can't be touched.

Elite QBs excell under pressure

Except Brady vs the Giants DL.

 

[HungryLion]

That definitely played a part.
I'll tell you another thing. I don't think most people appreciate how elevation can affect performance when you're not used to it.

Years ago I went to a sales conference in Denver, and the team did a hike as a leisure/team building exercise.
It was a "leisure" activity, but it ended up as a competition, a bunch of young sales bucks trying to prove who's the best.

Mind you, I'm a retired Army Ranger (was in my mid 30s at the time).
Our Colorado rep lived in Colorado Springs his entire life, was a retired Air Force mechanic. He was nowhere near my level of fitness, but he was unfazed by the thin air. I had to push really hard to keep up with him on the hike (I'd be damned if I was going to let the 75th get mocked by an Air Force mechanic, lol). I literally felt like I was going to die (of course I hid that), but I'm telling you, that thin air zaps your strength and stamina.

I’ve never been in super high elevation like that but I totally believe you. It’s a massive home field advantage for teams in Denver.

man dont you know Eli took that bad Defense to a SB?...lol

 

[SquidwardTentacles]

Except Brady vs the Giants DL.

But at least sometimes

 

[SquidwardTentacles]

Don't you worry. There are some stats that someone made up that says he's the best of the best.

I like the W stat best, to be honest.

Well yeah, but there isn't much hope to get a lot of those around here.

Ladies and gentlemen, introducing the Grand Marshal for the week 8 excuse parade, please welcome America's Cowboy!

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the biggest crybaby of the Dak Hater group. If you say anything positive about Dak, he will personally attack you. That's how much it bothers him. Imagine how he was as a baby? Big ol' whiner, I bet!!! Probably never got spanked!

It's called, Pressure.

You're welcome.

 

[America's Cowboy]

This doesn't explain Dak's regression to bad throws, hesitancy to throw and off target throws when he did have the space to make a play.

Unless of course you're saying that the pressure got to him so badly that he was seeing ghosts where there were no ghosts.

Dak showed you yet again who he is.

Another make believe comment. Nothing new.

Reply as weak as Daks arm

PS please, where is the personal attack in my post? And if you're referring to the description of you being a Grand Marshal in the excuse parade, you may want to refrain from calling other people "crybabies"

You don't realize the irony of your post.

[windward]

Quality Defense, outside familiarity of the division, and on the road.
check, check, check

Now, to be fair, most offenses would struggle some in those circumstances.
Just not quite so extreme

I don’t think 17 points is an extreme struggle at all. It’s about an average struggle.

 

[windward]

Except Brady vs the Giants DL.

Or Mahomes vs Philly and TB.

I swear to god we have seen this bronco defense do this at Mile High to multiple top QBs. It happens.

 

[Captain-Crash]

Mouth breathers experience brain fog at high altitudes.

 

[Hadenough]

He had guys at his feet all game

All QBs have that! Gotta pick up those heavy feet he has and get moving. That's what Nix did.

Serious question XLL, are you 16-21? Or 50-55. Those are the two groups with this type of take. You’re either young and really naive, or an Old Aikman guy who thinks Dak will never live up, and it blinds you from seeing reality.

Dak never had an extra moment to set his feet. He was throwing off his back foot all day long. He was pressured on nearly 70% of his throws. His arm isn’t noodle! Not even close!

 

[DillusionalFans]

Dak’s extremes are something else. We’re not just talking about having an off day. One week he looks like a top-ten quarterback, and the next he looks like he pounded a fifth of Jim Beam through a funnel before warm-ups. The gap between his best and worst is downright astonishing and it happens often.

But it seems that his “off days” are always against a good defense and his garbage-time stats mask his true talents.
