Dak Prescott's accuracy, aggressive quantified ahead of new deal

It has been an eventful off-season for the Dallas Cowboys. After inking DeMarcus Lawrence to a five-year, $105 million deal ($65 million in guarantees), the team now has their sights set on quarter...

There is a chart in that article of "Approximate Value". Dak is tied with Russell Wilson for 4th behind Matt Ryan, Drew Brees, and Tom Brady.

I dont know much about PFFs "AV" metric but I'd rather be in the top 5 than out of it.

The sad thing here is..

There are many threads on this site that critique and down play Dak as a legitimate QB. The link above compliments Daks game and expels many of the nay sayers ‘go to’ talking point about his passing abilities in general. The link also points out that he can improve in some areas, which you would expect from a young player. This gives credence to the fact that Dak isn’t a polished QB and shouldn’t be expected to be so at this point of if his career, yet he’s definitely better than some describe. As a matter of fact, the graphs and matrix in the link have him higher than other QBs that I’m sure some pessimist would prefer over Prescott.

Of the many comments I see when posts are negatively talking about Dak.. it’s sad the few comments left to talk positive ab the man. But hey, it’s easy to root for a mans failure than to applaud him for his successes.

Dak finished last season 67.7% in completion. But needs to be above 68%. (needs to be more accurate)

Its Garrett's fault!

Just tossing this out there. In eleven years Romo was a started on this team he was over 68% 3 times. Not sure that proves squat. But your demand Dak must have 3/10s of a percent more in his completions seems to be a reach.

He wins. That's what matters most.

I was referring to this threads title & posters here on his lack of accuracy. We know once Cooper arrived, Dak was playing like his rookie self.

Fair enough.

While not " hitting the click" of the O.P.'s thread header, the title is telling me he needs more bench rest/ zeroing-in time in order for him to ink a big bucks contract,,,ya, that's what I've deduced in the 5 seconds of study

*USA today SPORTS section covers our Cowboys in an fair if not upbeat fashion,,, I like seeing that& probably tend to favour that print news source over those others because of that reason

67% means nothing to me on a 3rd and 8 you throw a 2 yard swing pass to Zeke to only punt the ball on fourth. I don't hate Dak, by anymeans, but were about to pay an average qb top 5 moneyl

Why do people keep saying this? It's not top 5 money, the market/cap goes up every year. At the end of this year his contract will be in the middle of the pack.

Why do people keep on saying Dak is a young QB with potential? He's now a 4th year player with extensive game time. The steep learning curve is long gone. He's as good as he'll ever be.

Plenty more facts for “you people”.

Dak doesn't have Linehan anymore. So at least Moore can create an offensive set the defense won't know pre snap.

 

[Oh_Canada]

He’s good.

Romo was also a finished product while Dak hasn't reached his peak yet.

I've been plenty critical of Dak, but to say he's as good as he'll ever be after playing for 3 years is just ridiculous.
