Radar gun velocities are actual objective quantifiable data. Unlike your gif or video which may or may not exist which is subjective.

LOL still dodging. You're taking all this time to provide those links, yet you can't provide a link to game footage nor GIFs. Here, he has every game this season (Giants on isn't up yet)

Again, you've acknowledged he is inconsistent when it comes to velocity on a pass. Cool. Prove it's only mechanics and footwork.

Also, you get Stephen freakin' McGee had a velocity of 53, right? Tell me his "arm strength" translated to game day. Kellen Moore threw a 52.

Anything else?

Speak for yourself. I'm not convinced Prescott is the future. I haven't seen enough.

That's fine friend, but after what was suited up and sent forth to play the quarterback Position of the cowboys last season as compared to this season? I've seen enuff.
Do I wanna see ROMO out on the Field engineering drives and scoring t.d. as a DALLAS COWBOY?,,, hell yes,in the worst way cuz he can do it,,, the sad part is I'll probably be seeing him engineering clock killing scoring drives as the field general on somebody else's team, prolly take the DENVER BRONCOS to another S.B.,,, cuz well, he is TONY FRICKIN' ROMO!

The NFL.com scouting report is just an example. All you have to do is google for Dak Prescott scouting report writeups from actual NFL talent scouts, and you will see the same things.

Again, you know better than all of these NFL personnel people, and SEC scouts? Please. Give me a break.

Not one single person anywhere has cried about Dak's noodle arm or lack of armstrength all year. NOT ONE. The lack of zip he sometimes has is not because of armstrength ,but rather poor footwork which has dogged him his entire time at Miss St.

Not one? I called him a noodle arm 2 months ago. And Dez did too when he said once Tony started practicing that he was throwing "missiles"...not dak...Tony throwing them.

This should put to bed any argument about armstrength. Although i'm sure mattjames2010 "i post like a /pol reader" will discount this too.

I don't know why I didn't look this up before, but its ball velocity from the combine for QBs going back several years.
http://blogs.ourlads.com/2016/03/02/quarterback-ball-velocity-at-nfl-combine-2008-2015/

Dak Prescott's average ball velocity was 54mph. For comparison, Jameis Winston was 55mph, as was Russell Wilson. Joe Flacco also recorded 55mph. Tyrod Taylor - 50mph.

Throwing a football roughly as hard as Jameis Winston, Joe Flacco, and Russell Wilson means you have a noodle arm? I don't buy it.

Velocity WITH accuracy is a much different thing than simply clocked speed.

Giants had the 28th? ranked pass defense going into tonight and they were missing their best pass rusher. Not hard to find defenses like that,
So....all this is on Dak? He played a bad game but he also had poor play calling from the sideline. He also had a receiver who quit on his route on a play which caused an interception and another interception from the receiver fell down. It was also a cold environment. Some of you need to learn the WHOLE game of football befor you make comments. You act as though Romo never had a bad game. He had PLENTY. And I like Romo. The Giants have a very good defense....period.

This isn't a one game thing. Things Dak did poorly in this game, he's done poorly all season. It's been proven that his mechanics break down and he is extremely inaccurate when under pressure. It's always been a matter before a team would force him to throw and he would fail. The last drive, he didn't even manage to gain yards in four downs.

Many of us have pointed this out all year and have said Romo was the better option. 2-24 on third downs the past two weeks, the multiple fumbles, the poor showing last night and the constantly inaccurate throws prove this.

Poor all year and yet he has one less game in a ROW that Romo won in 2014.

First of all, he's a rookie. There are going to be things he needs to work on. His footwork need some work. Is he a good QB....yes. Some of the playcalling has been horrible. The guy lead a team that's won 11 in a row. He has a bad game and the window is open for you to throw Romo in there. Who said things would have been better with him in there? We don't know for sure. Who knows if he would have held up a complete game without being injured? Romo is fragile. Can't take hits anymore. The only reason you DON'T put Romo in is the chemistry of the team. Unless Dak get's hurt, Romo doesn't play. You ride the season out. Even if it means losing the first playoff game. Replacing Romo for any other reason and you lose the lockerroom and and the team. Lose that....and it won't be a Superbowl anyway. This team is not built for ONE season. As much as I'd like to win the Superbowl, I'm proud of Dak and this team if we don't make it. We have a future.

As far as Romo...if you can't stay healthy, someone is bound to take your place. It's not Romo's fault he takes some of the hits he takes, but when another player is given the opportunity, chances are you might not get your position back. So, some of you diehard Romo fans need to embrace Dak at QB. Cause it's not going to change, unless Dak gets hurt. I'm a Cowboy fan. Not a Dak or Romo fan. I like them both. But, I know this sport very well. And you don't just make that change.

Sorry for the book!

In fairness, Dak had a little help from the best OL and RB in football. This isn't about Dak or Romo. It's about the team. If you think Dak gives the team, THIS YEAR, the best chance to win a Super Bowl, fine. I believe Romo gives Dallas a better chance to win a title this year. We disagree, fine.

Calling people morons or soft over their opinion suggests an overall lack of intelligence and typical internet tough guy fodder.

To be fair, 1 game Romo lost while playing with a broken back. 1 game he lost on limited rest. 1 loss was week 1. And 1 loss wasn't his. His record that year was 12-3, 12-2 while not playing with a broken back. Just saying, not that horrible and Dak has already lost as many games as Romo did in 2012 when not playing with a broken back.
