Prescott's arm looked sauced

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

If you take out the “garbage-time” stats when Dallas is far behind, Dak is below average against a good defense.

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

But the Giants rolled the Broncos defense just last week at Mile High with Jaxon Dart.

When there's no pressure he steps into his throws, every QB does.
When he cannot step into his throws that's when the warts arrive.

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

Most QBs, even elite QBs, are going to be less effective against great defenses. That, however, doesn't mean elite and good QBs aren't still productive and efficient overall against great defenses, even if it's less efficient than their norm.

With Dak, he goes from great efficiency to looking like the wheels came off and yes, there is a correlation with this happening against great and good defenses, but it also happens against mediocre defenses like what happened this year against a banged up Chicago defense. Dak is a truly perplexing player for me. I don't get how these “Chicago-type” performances happen more often than should be expected. The answer by most is the team props him up by catering to Dak and giving him most of the franchise’s attention and resource gathering and that his “true talent”, as you mentioned, inevitably bubbles to the top. Maybe that is the answer, but it still seems inadequate to me to really explain the wild swings in performance we see with this dude.

I fully expect the Chiefs and their hardnosed defense to bend us over and embarass us when we play them and Dak will have a very bad game. That's my expectation because of past precedent. The “number offense” is largely a mirage imo

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

And Nix ain't even "Elite" like Dak.

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!

Isn't that when the QB moves around? If he can.

Are you an excuse maker or football ignorant?
Prescott’s throws were lame - he had plenty of time during that game at different moments of the game.
He was hitting guys in the ankles. He got picked off at the end of the first half because he under threw the football..
He simply had no Zip on his pass passes. It was evident to anybody who understands the game.
I also prefaced my post by saying - it could’ve been a bad day or it could be the beginning of the end.

Ok? And they’ve made Mahomes look terrible the last couple of years.
