Beautiful Deep Ball Thrower But... Wheres Dak Pres

No. 4 is, perhaps ironically, No. 9.Dak Prescott's position in Chris Simms' annual quarterback rankings was revealed this week. The former NFL quarterback and current NBC Sports analyst placed him in the ninth spot, matching the jersey number of Tony Romo, his predece sor in the Dallas Cowboys' franchise quarterback role. is coming off an 11-win season under center, one that saw him throw a career-best 37 touchdown pa ses. He also placed ninth on last year's Simms list, which was topped by Patrick Mahomes of Kansas City.In his analysis, Simms referred Jabrill Peppers Jersey to Prescott as "a son of a bitch to deal with", praising his mobility (a skillset partly handicapped by a calf strain sustained in October) and ability to work under pre sure."Dak Prescott is up there in the discu sion as far as being the best ... I'm under pre sure, the pockets collapsing, quarterbacks in all of football," Simms said. "He can stand there with people hitting them and grabbing him, still make throws down the field because he's such a big strong human being. It doesn't affect his decision-making when the pockets closing." , an ankle fracture that cost him all but five games of the 2020 season.Simms further goes on to call Prescott a "franchise quarterback difference-maker" and a NFL New England Patriots Jersey "beautiful deep ball thrower"...but he and co-host Ahmed Fareed quickly add some disclaimers. For example, the two were slightly perturbed by Prescott's performance after the most recent injury, To their points, Prescott averaged over 302 yards per game over the first five contests (during which Dallas went 5-1) but followed that up with a tally of 264 over his final ten (a 6-4 stretch that led to Lawyer Milloy Jersey a lo s in the NFC Wild Card round).Scroll to ContinueSome of those results, they claimed, were boosted as it was thanks to facing subpar competition like the Washington Football Team (victims of 330 yards and four touchdowns from Prescott in a 56-14 shellacking in December)."You just take away the Washington, Eagles games at the end of the year Davon Godchaux Jersey and you're mi sing 10 touchdowns and like 1000 yards against teams (to whom) the game didn't matter. So the stats are a little misleading that way," Simms said. "They just got a little lucky to play some le ser teams down the stretch that, you know, helped them get in the playoffs and maybe look make their offense a little better than it was."Simms isn't convinced that Prescott and the Cowboys are capable of becoming the first NFC East team to repeat as division champions since 2004. He was, however, comfortable with placing Prescott ahead of similarly skilled Baltimore counterpart Lamar Jackson, who rounds out Simms' top 10 ahead of Derek Carr and Kyler Murray."Dak makes, when you watch them, a ton of plays in the pocket," the former Tampa Bay Buccaneer said. "We might not go 'Oh, wow', but I might go 'damn most quarterbacks here just wouldn't have hung in there and made that play or that throw'. That's where he does separate himself: his toughne s and pure man strength and that ability to push the ball down the field in some of Adrian Phillips Jersey those situations." : Washington's Carson Wentz rang in at No. 19 while fellow starters Daniel Jones and Jalen Hurts respectively rank 21st and 25th. New York Giants backup Tyrod Taylor is also one of the first backups ranked, appearing in the 36th slot.
