Video: Training Camp: Dak working on accuracy

[CowboysFaninHouston]

Well, someone could ask why a 9th year vet feels the need to work on accuracy. If you don't have it by this point of your career you're never going to get it.

well, Tom Brady work on his throwing motion. every year of his 20+ years in the league. its called working on your craft. BilL Gates reads books, after building possibly the most successful software company in the world. everyone does it.

this was idiotic response from you to say the least.

I am sure you are going to say, "oh, so you are comparing Dak to Brady"...no I am not...

and no I am not defending Dak neither......if he stopped working on it, then it would be a bigger concern.

Great, our QB can play cornhole.

and no I am not defending Dak neither......if he stopped working on it, then it would be a bigger concern.

At least Dak is working on something he never had, right?

SUPER BOWL !!!!! All he needs for motivation is 65 mil per.

Shocked it’s only 3 posts…funny how that works lol.

Yeah all the ones with him missing had about 75 in about 3 minutes... So I'm gonna take the time to do what I did when he was missing this has no real effect on games because wide receivers have arms they have legs and they have eyes actually literally move that's why we call it a catch radius quarterbacks can't always put the ball on the money that is why we see top 10 highlight reel catches on ESPN weekly or top five whatever you wanna see they're not doing that catching balls between the numbers they're doing it because they gotta make great catches on less than perfectly thrown balls by every quarterback in the league because that is not how it works there's too many moving parts to be throwing balls perfectly on every single throw so I'm not gonna brag on him making them just like I said it was no big deal when they are missing them that is a hard thing to do is put a ball in a net it's a lot easier to throw to a wide receiver that has arms you know they reach up and catch it so as long as you're throwing it anywhere near that net a receiver is probably gonna catch it//

Facebook is even worse when you look on social media and Twitter when they miss these things or when they see them practicing throwing balls down and away or purposely throwing them to a spot versus perfect so that way the receiver can try to miss the hit by the corner or the oncoming safety or linebacker and people are saying no no he's still should have led them there are some really clueless fans that get the word casual attached to them because they don't understand that quarterbacks just don't throw balls between the numbers on every throw it's very rare... It is why you have to have a good wide receiver on the other end of that the catch the ones that we deem catchable that doesn't mean between the numbers or right between the hands sometimes they're gonna need to reach out or they're gonna need to dive or they're gonna need to stop and turn back for a ball because that is exactly how football is....

So this is a nice video I'm glad he's hitting these I don't need to see these videos and know this dude top five quarterback in this league and nobody likes the fact that he had a career year last year just to bolster what we already know he's one of the top starting quarter....m him just because you don't like him.

And mechanics, when Dak is flustered the mechanics and accuracy goes out of the window. Usually even elite QBs lose those when pressured , but with Dak its a matter of confidence , 1-2 scores behind he goes into a shell.

So why say it then I mean literally just trying to put a knock on back and then followed up with a disclaimer that most quarterbacks when they're pressured and have to move or on the run they lose mechanics and don't throw perfect footballs and that's why we have receivers with arms and legs that are paid to catch less than perfect throws or we would never have the top five catches of the week the highlight reels you think that career OJ catch was a ball that was thrown on target no it would have never made the news it would have never made the highlight reel had it been a perfect throw... No quarterback is perfect especially when pressured in on the run but Prescott is actually one of the better quarterbacks against the blitz and that's why teams don't blitz him a lot and they rather play in messy zone and try to make it much tougher to find an open receiver because he is accurate he is a great quarterback and if anybody wants to question it they're just are labeled hater and you coming in here talking about his mechanics being flustered under pressure and then following up with while most quarterbacks do that just shows you you're just trying to make a negative out of what should be a positive post.... good try hater

This is a pretty disingenuous statement. Whatever your views are on Daks ability to win clutch games, and his overall performance in the playoffs, the one thing that is evident in his overall career performance is that he is in the upper categories for nearly all accuracy metrics. So to say he never had accuracy is purely trolling.

I am not trying to convince anybody on what their opinion of Dak should be, but come on, don't be hyperbolic and over exaggerate or outright light to back your point. That's just simple minded argument.

 

[blueblood70]

You guys always pivot to another talking point. One minute it’s his accuracy sucks then it goes to his playoff record when all else fails lol.

Right when they post the one where he's missing the net it's his accuracy but when he's hitting the net they always just right back to the playoff and we're never gonna win a Super Bowl with this guy.. Somehow they forget that 95 quarterbacks have been drafted since 2016 and only one of them has won a Super Bowl and in the history of the NFL there's only been 34 actual Super Bowl winning quarterbacks... But yeah that should be the talking point only for Prescott even though there's about 10 quarterbacks making market money right now that haven't won anything either they don't do anything in the playoffs they've done less than Prescott in most cases I mean they keep getting paid long before they ever sniff a Super Bowl and they probably will never win a Super Bowl and yet press guess the only one held to that standard...

And I still hate it that nobody brings us up why are records not attached to all individual players why can we not blame tyron Smith for never winning a Super Bowl why should we keep a man around that can't practice that's hurt but yet everyone's upset he left why are we not holding Parsons and DeMarcus Ware and anybody help why do we have to pay Zach Martin I remember that thread from last year everyone said he deserved it and Jones is being cheap really because that Martins never brought us the Super bowl Zach Martin has failed in the playoffs Zach Martin is not doing his job to help this team win shouldn't it be the same where you attach the playoff records to the entire damn team... That's why I find it ironic everyone wants a superstar running back here and not many if not at all recently have you seen a superstar running back in their prime making big money win Super Bowl rings for their teams/,,​

​

this is in fact A-Team game much more than most other sports there's too many moving pieces including the coaching Staffs the people who provide the talent or lack thereof along with it doesn't take many players not doing their jobs to completely torpedo a game.... Especially when you're 1 and done in the playoffs there aren't many of those show me all the sports all the other major sports that doesn't have a tournament where you get like 4 tries out of seven to win a game this is a difficult sport to start with and then you get into the playoffs you have one pick up and you're gone it only takes one player like Patrick Creighton or having your offensive line have 11 penalties or having your run game have under 3 yards per carry or have a guy fumble at the wrong time or miss a couple fuel goals but it always seems to be the quarterback that has a playoff record but nobody else..​

​

This has always been a unique debate to me why is it that the coaches especially the head coach and the quarterback only ones on the team that have the record everyone else gets away with not having a record attached to them when they're being talked about so you have to win Super Bowls and win a lot of games as a quarterback and a head coach in order to get paid or keep your job but everyone else gets a pass?​

​

I mean look at all the retread that used to be head coaches that were then assistant coaches they're now rehired as head coaches that have done nothing let's start with Dan Quinn did he deserve another head coaching shop I mean isn't it's his fault that he hasn't won a Super Bowl as a head coach and didn't help us do a Super Bowl here in fact his defense was worse than our offense and yet people think that he should have been the next head coach here I mean he's getting a pass around the NFL he's getting another job and I bet he got a raise too for doing that ****** of a job last year?​

Yep, he's really great against those crappy teams. If only those same crappy teams would show up in the playoffs

Well that's what gets tiresome to some of us I don't have to be a Prescott fan stop blaming him for his performances in the playoffs there are a lot of blame to go around on teams that Romo and Prescott have been on...

if you go breakdown every single playoff game there are big time defensive lapses, there are games where there's no run game, no offensive line, no physicality ,and terrible game plans, and terrible in game adjustments by coaches or you have your star wide receiver but everyone says should get paid I mean see me lamb drop passes he pouted like a little baby on the sideline in the playoff game he allowed himself to be pushed Bing a game where he's showing no dog mentality and yet everybody is yelling at Jerry for not paying this man whatever he asks like he should have an open checkbook but when it comes to the quarterback in the head coach and the only two people on the team that seem to have the playoff losses attached to them they're the only ones that have records and Super Bowl terms attached to them as a disclaimer on why they shouldn't be kept or paid why is it that all the other positions on the team should be looked at the same way...

People in this very place are screaming for lamb to be paid and Parsons to be paid and yet they want to get rid of Prescott because of his playoff record or lack thereof which by the way is a whole lot of quarterbacks right now that make 45 millionaire above outside of patching the homes have a pretty bad playoff record and most of them don't have any Super Bowl appearances or wins for that matter if it's about wins in the super bowl there's a whole lot of losers in this in the NFL..

I find it ironic that people scream for Zach Martin to get paid more last year in order for him to come back to camp and yet nobody talks about his lack of Super Bowl rings and his lack of playoff success because he's part of it they're all part of it... The lack of playoff success around here for that 28 or 30 years or whatever you wanna use that narrative can be pinpointed from many parts of the team and many players who are not getting the job done in the clutch moments none of them I'm sorry but whenever there's a lack of a run game or 11 penalties on the offensive line then why isn't Zach Martin and all the other names that went on this offensive line going all the way back to the Romo days are not to blame as well 3 yards per carry or under yeah stop acting asking for a superstar running back when we can blame the offensive line for parts of the problem we can blame the defensive line we can blame Trayvon diggs who's supposed to be Mr. interception for dropping a easy interception and allowing the pass to kittles I mean we could go do this all day and find players who are responsible for these losses and yet it always falls back on the head coach and the quarterback...

I find that hypocritical it's a team game and there's plenty of blame to be passed around and they only use the playoff record and the fact that they don't think Prescott can get us to a Super Bowl as a reason we shouldn't pay him and keep him it's ridiculous there are every other team is paying guys market money big time contracts and they're not asked to do better in the playoffs first they're not asked for a Super Bowl ring... Exactly what is Justin Jefferson done to deserve his money he hasn't done anything in the playoffs not that I've seen I mean is he ever ring did they ask him to put a disclaimer on his contract and not pay him before he got a ring?

Dak has adequate accuracy. If you put a 4 foot diameter dart board out there Dak would hit the board every time. Aikman would tell you he is going to hit triple 20 and then hit it.

 

[blueblood70]

We are starved for content and I thought this was cool from today...

I find these accuracy updates these throwing at Nets and empty targets ridiculous whether he's doing well or not doing well I think it's not really part of football other than his practice and guess who never went through this Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman never had people constantly at every practice all of a sudden practice stats and every single snap and every single throw and every single mistake is posted in real time..

imagine the crap they have to take that nobody else in the past had to experience that kind of pressure that people up on you 24 hours a day seven days a week reporting that your fart smelled like popcorn....

That's the difference in today's sports there is no break for these guys when you start having to count stats at practice and report on every throw every run every block and this is for all players not just quarterbacks I think it's insane I think it's insane that we are talking about it the man's been in the NFL for eight years now going in year 9 and it's had enough success as a starting quarterback that he doesn't need to have to explain himself when he has a day where he can't put the ball in that net why because in football we have players that reach up and catch the football we don't have they don't throw at Nets that's just simply practice they're honing their skills but he's never going to need to throw a ball in the net this isn't field hockey this isn't disc golf it's a matter of fact this isn't an accuracy skill like when you play those other non sports like billiards and bowling and disc golf and that kind of thing this is football where you throw the ball to an area where you have a skilled player have to reach up and catch it whether it's perfect or not that is their job as well there's no way you can put perfection that's a skill set especially that's all we hear about the quarterback they need to be perfect that's what you're asking the quarterback needs to play better than the rest of the team as a whole they should be wearing a Cape and they should be winning games even when the rest of the team around them is playing bad it's the dumbest narrative I've ever heard....

So this is me not being a hypocrite I didn't care that he missed the ones and I thought it was stupid showing his misses and talking about his accuracy and then when he makes them I'm also gonna say I don't care it's not really part of real football this is just practice that's being exposed on TV and the Internet and made in the videos were great quarterbacks in the past didn't have to go through this there was a newspaper and maybe one sports show and then you had the sports updates on your local news channels there wasn't this constant need to show every damn thing including contract talks and knowing everybody's money and knowing every damn little thing that goes on it becomes less than football this is not sports... The Internet and social media has made these guys jobs twice as hard because that's all they're doing is that may answer questions about practice seriously?!!

what? you just went all over the place. the topic was working on his throws and accuracy and now spun into something different.

you all need help. a lot of help. you are Daksessed. 365x24x7x60x60.

you have lost all common sense and logic

I was replying to visionary’s comment about accuracy. Again this was about a 8th year QB - one that is revered or hated (LOL) in these parts.

Also , looks like you didnt read it correctly, while it is true that when pressured most QBs lose accuracy and mechanics , I didn’t talk about pressure, I was talking about Dak going into a shell and struggle mightily ( like the GB game , Zona game or Denver game year before), which have to do something with his confidence.

It's not that I'm replying to the whole thread you do realize this is public right we're not in some chat room you and I talking so when I'm reading your stuff and everyone else is I'm posting a full comment on how I feel about this....

 

[jazzcat22]

Trey Lance was making those throws the other day as well.

 

[speedkilz88]

2022 Dak 68.6%
2023 Dak 68.3%

 

[ElGatoGrande]

2022 Dak 68.6%
2023 Dak 68.3%

He's improved a lot of things over the years, he just needs to work on preventing the whole fainting goat seizure thing.

 

[acr731]

2022 Dak 68.6%
2023 Dak 68.3%

Sweet!

Now tell us the playoff record the past 3 years combined.

 

[Proof]

2-5. How is that for a crappy playoff record?

It's a shame the regular season stats is all you have to hang your hat on. Some of us would prefer something more, though.

lol man hush. you said something silly, he corrected you, and you pivot to something else unrelated. if you just want to say you don't like him, or he sucks, or whatever the case cool.

 

[Proof]

What do you call a QB who needs to “work on his accuracy “ after 8 years as a starting QB?



Yeah, that..

a professional.
