Including the postseason, Dak Prescott threw 17 interceptions last season... but how many were his fault? Mike Martz breaks down every pick and illustrates how undisciplined routes and shaky schematics were key contributors to the turnovers
One fan pointed out that 14 interceptions per season (on average) may not be considered a large number in the context of a starting quarterback’s performance. They implied that the criticism of Prescott as the most overrated quarterback in the NFL was unfounded.
A different fan acknowledged that 29 turnovers in 33 games are indeed relatively high, without even accounting for any fumbles. They questioned how many quarterbacks with such a high interception ratio have managed to make it to the playoffs.
29 turnovers in 33 games is pretty high. Not including any fumbles. How many QBs have made the playoffs with an INT ratio that high?
Lastly, a fan questioned why Orlovsky was criticizing Prescott heavily when other quarterbacks like Josh Allen may have similar or worse stats over the same time period but are often praised. The fan implied that Orlovsky’s criticism seemed unfair or biased against Prescott.
Doesn't Josh Allen have the same or worse stats over the same time period? Yet - he's amazing? Why you dogging on Dak so hard?
