How much did Dak improve his draft position by coming back this year? I say a ton. If you want to play in the NFL you can't be just a "running QB". You just can't be a Tebow now.
It was like a season long tryout camp for him. He showed his ability to read defenses, go through his progressions, and deliver the ball on time and with precision to the correct receiver. That matters. He showed courage and poise in the pocket, even when he wasn't protected that well. Yes, he can still run and pull it down and get the first down on his own, but the pros have to see the passer, too.
We knew he had that ability, but he needed the opportunity to demonstrate it. I think he will be a surprise when draft day comes. I can think of several NFL offenses who need what he can do.
It was a good decision for us and him, too.
