The Ringer | Dak Prescott currently ranked 8th among all QBs 2022

[Praxit]

....his only 2nd game back.

This guy is going to light em' up.

 

[Acceptablename]

You could rank Dak as low as 10 and I’d be OK.
Dak has flaws but he’s made himself a good NFL QB

 

[Havic]

All I ask is that Dak play like a top 10 Qb against good teams and in the playoffs.

 

[AKATheRake]

I didn't know Jerry Springer rates the NFL.

Cool.

 

[GINeric]

just goes to show you how much QB play has fallen in the NFL

The first time i started to hear about QB play falling.... is when Dak started being ranked years ago. But I just heard that kind of talk around here..... maybe its just a crazy coincidence.

 

[Captain-Crash]

yeah, what's crazy is everybody hates skip and shannon and everything they say is fake and lies, but now this made-up list is gospel because skip and Shanon use it. lol, you can't make this up.

A HEADY POCKET PASSER who has no problem adjusting to the defense before or after the snap.

CURRENT SCOUTING REPORT:

BREAKDOWN
Dak Prescott is forever underrated. Despite being constantly under the spotlight as the Cowboys’ quarterback, Prescott has quietly developed into one of the NFL’s most cerebral passers. It’s as if the football gods decided that the league couldn’t go on without Philip Rivers and selected Dak to carry on the mantle—even throwing in a shoulder injury to rob him of some arm strength. That hasn’t stopped him from making tricky throws downfield, though. And if Prescott’s shoulder is a little stronger now that he’s a year removed from rehabbing the injury, he could be in for a monster season.

In the meantime, Prescott is still making it work by being proactive before the snap. He’s rarely fooled by the blitz and typically has a good read on what coverage the defense is in, which allows him to either get the ball out quickly or find a secondary option. Impressive poise and footwork buys him some time in the pocket on the rare occasions when he does get his pre-snap read wrong. And when all else fails, Dak can lean on his experience as a spread-option QB in college and create with his legs.

BIGGEST STRENGTH: PRE-SNAP
It’s odd how little credit Dak receives for the work he does before the snap. It’s not like this is a recent development; he’s been vigilant in that phase of the game since his rookie season. He’s just a lot better at it now, which tends to happen as a quarterback gains experience. Dak’s success is often attributed to his offensive line, but he can be seen pointing them in the right direction on certain plays and making sure any potential pass rushers are accounted for. Next time you watch Dak play, pay attention to what he’s doing at the line of scrimmage.

BIGGEST WEAKNESS: ARM TALENT
The aforementioned shoulder injury obviously affected his arm strength, and a midseason calf strain didn’t help matters. Let’s check back in on this after a few games this season to see if Prescott has a little more zip on his throws in 2022.



Granted, this rating was updated on 10/26/2022, before the Cowboys obliterated the Bears this past Sunday, 10/30/2022. It will be interesting to see how Dak's QB ranking either improves or decreases as the season moves along, but being currently ranked at #8 seems about right.

What say you?

He’ll keep creeping up as the game this season continues

 

[Whirlwin]

Right where a $40 million QB should be. Let's see if he can maintain that consistency as the season goes on and into the playoffs, presuming the team makes it there (which they should).

I like that he’s coming on strong now . It’s always better to keep improving. Then come out strong and then Go backwards for some reason or other

What say you?

Let's see now as it seems you searched the net and finally found a Micky mouse article from a guy only his mother knows to post the greatness of Dak.
The only reason I hang on here is to see what will you do when inepto finally leaves us......

 

[baltcowboy]

Where are these numbers for accuracy, arm talent, creativity etc coming from? Feelings?

He's got Lawrence at 9 so there's that.

Lawrence might be the most overrated quarterback in the League right now. The Prince that was Promised.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Skip Bayless & Shannon Sharpe at Undisputed (FS1) use info coming from The Ringer. So does FOX Sports and several others.

https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/where-does-dak-prescott-rank-among-current-nfl-qbs

While the Ringer is a respected site, I think part of the problem with this QB chart is it’s the opinion of one single guy. Stack that versus metrics like ESPN QBR or PFF or EPA or Passer rating that were developed and are overseen by dozens of people in a quality control position normalizes the consensus of how people feel about those QBs.

According to this list, Tua Tagovailoa would be a better QB this year if he could only play as well as Kyler Murray and Matt Stafford are. Jalen Hurts and Kurt Cousins are coming off the tape as effectively as the same guy.

Im not disputing Dak’s position on this list, but some of these rankings are nuts.

Sounds like you only support the show when it fits your narrative.

Exactly, 100% correct. His hate for Dak blinds him.

This coming from the troll who loses a bet and refuses to abide by it by staying away for a whole year. You didn't even last 3 months! Your trollish and hateful opinions hold no water. Only reason you are tolerated around here is because your Dak hating opinions are quite laughable. That's the only thing you are good for, Papsmear...making us laugh.

Do you lie often?
Is it a way of life for you or are you simply in your schizophrenic world once again?
What bet are you talking about again?
Post where I stated your above lie.
POST.....or be quiet with your nonsense once again.
Now back to the matter at hand as the people want to know where did you find this Mickey Mouse so-called reporter who is praising your man crush????

Hey, everybody! This lying troll is now claiming there was no bet that he challenged me where we both agreed that if Dak was not offered a new big contract, I would ban myself from Cowboys Zone for a whole year, but if Dak was signed to a new big contract, Pappy would have to sit out a whole year. Does anyone remember that bet? I know some members saw it. Now he is claiming this never happened while calling me crazy. Who can verify this live bet discussion happened between this poster and myself?

You have to verify the bet since you are the one that made it. Don't ask others for your proof.

 

[JayFord]

i'll check back in around page 23

No, he made it. I agreed. He's simply acting out suddenly pretending like it never happened.

 

[BleedSilverandBlue]

This ought to be civil.
