Yes this is a dated article, but very applicable since 2020 was an incomplete injury season.
My view of Dak is pretty much the same and unchanged.
Prescott is relatively young and durable until the ankle.
Passed for a career-high 4,902 yards in 2019.
Cowboys went 1-6 against playoff teams during that year, and Prescott has a 1-2 record in the playoffs.
Started off 2020 with big numbers in the
2nd halves of games. 1-3 record.
I give him credit for trying hard on the comebacks. Yes the defense was bad, so was Dak-led Offense in first half of each game.
@Doomsday101 I think this article sums it up for a lot of "Dak Haters" who actually like Dak, but question why he demanded to be paid as the top guy, when the proof and results aren't there yet.
Dak Haters are Dallas Cowboys fans. And on this forum, that's a bad thing. So I'll keep my label as Dak Hater and wait for him to hopefully prove he's worth his demands.

Prescott posted career numbers in 2019. He threw for 4,902 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions completing 65.1 percent of his passes. His passing yards total was the second-highest in the NFL last season and his passing touchdowns ranked fourth.
Despite the lofty numbers, the Cowboys still underwhelmed last year posting a record of 8-8 and losing the NFC East crown due to a 17-9 defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16.
Prescott had his worst performance of the season when it counted most against the Birds, completing just 25 of his 44 passes (56.8) for 265 yards, no touchdowns, and no interceptions in the critical matchup.
That lack of team success has led experts at
NFL.com to rank Prescott outside of the top ten in their recent
QB Index, where they ranked every passer to start a game in 2019. Here’s what Tom Blair wrote after all four
NFL.com experts ranked Prescott 11th overall …
@MountaineerCowboy
“Prescott was fantastic at times in the last year of his rookie contract, but the Cowboys missed the playoffs, and he’s now in danger of getting stuck in the Cousins Zone: good enough to pay a ton of money but dogged by lingering doubts over his ceiling.”
The more interesting part of this ranking might be the fact all four NFL.com editors were unanimous on their placement of Dak Prescott outside the top ten. And if that view is shared league-wide, what does that say about the Dallas Cowboys potentially preparing to make Prescott one of the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league? Agreeing on Dak’s value is surely one of the main reasons why a longterm deal has yet to be struck in Dallas.
