If the ball is thrown low and the receiver makes a great diving catch, Daks percentage goes up. The placement was awful however. Completion percentage does not equal ball placement.
It’s been something I’ve noticed myself since his rookie year. He gets the ball close enough to the receiver for the receiver to make a catch and increase his percentage. There are so many times where the placement(and don’t get me wrong, this does happen to everyone from time to time) is just not great where a better placement would have resulted in a TD.
I remember a play back in his first or second year. Deep ball to an open Cole Beasley. It was behind him, causing him to slow down and allowed the defender to catch up and make the tackle before Cole could score. If the placement was in front of Cole and not behind, it’s a TD. Completion percentage went up, but it cost a TD on that play. I see that happen a lot with Dak.
Dak also CAN place the ball well(all of them can) and can throw some absolute dimes, but I wouldn’t call ball placement a strength of his.
Edit: here’s a different play to Cole. Completion percentage up, awful placement.

Can i ask you if you are or have been a coach? Player at a high level like college in the past?
Now you went from a specific play to a generalization of his career.
That pass to fergi, in fact both passes to fergi were in great position to be caught and the fact is he screwed up. The intercepted pass was eye level and in front of him and it bounced off of fergi. There is absolutely no denying t hat. Anything otherwise is a biased agenda driven drivel.
Now, stats tend to normalize over time and long periods and large samples.
He has thrown for over 37000 yards. If he is an inaccurate as you claim then over 1000s of throws, completions things will normalize. The fact, not biased views say otherwise. In fact it was shown he has highest ratings on small window throws, long ball and pretty much across the board around the field. All the stats support that.
Does he throw bad balls? Yes. He is not elite and I never claimed he was.
Do the recievers sometimes make circus catches? Yes but that's also true for every single QB elite or not. Thats undeniable. Do good recievers make good catches? Yes. Why else pay them a 130M contract.
If expectations are for him to be perfect and really tops with every throw then why ever pay at WR. Just draft them low, sign low end WRs and let the QB make pegectlynplaced throws.
You are obviously biased. It doesn't sound like you are Anything but a fan. You have zero, i mean zero proof of anything you claim about inaccuracies. Its nothing but an opinion.
Again, that intercepted pass to Fergi, was accurate, on the spot and Ferginplain screwed up. But given your bias you have to blame Dak and take that single throw into a career story and your view and your personal observations.
Again you gave 2 examples and made genralized comments. I can do that for every single QB.
You are welcome to your opinion.
You are welcome to your bias.
You are welcome to your perception.
Doesn't make you right.
