Dak Prescott: Quarterbacks are judged by winning that last game​


Published June 11, 2026 10:17 PM


“If you play this position — I’ve said it before — how you’re judged is winning that last game,” Prescott said this week, via Todd Archer of ESPN. “Anything other than that, you’re warranted to get [the criticism] because you’ve not won that game. If you’re not wired that way and if it’s not what pushes you, you should probably find a different job and a different position. I think we all feel the same and if I know those guys are like me, it’s an obsession.

“So, yeah, it’s about making sure that you give everything that you can to this team and give them the chance to do it.”

If he believes that, why did he demand to the richest contract in NFL history when he hasn't come close to getting there? He's missed the playoffs half his career.

This is the main reason I turned on him. Demanding to be paid like a Mahomes while lacking the skins on the wall to show you earned it has always struck a nerve with me. It's like demanding the Medal of Honor when all you did was scramble eggs in the chow hall every morning.

I expected this sort of pushback the min I read his quote and I agree somewhat, especially on whether or not he deserved $60M a year. But this isn't anything new.......all fans I have read/heard agree he is overpaid, even his 100% hard rock supporters. Honestly, I don't blame him......it's Jerry who gave him the contract $5M more than the next highest. He could have made Dak the highest-paid QB at $56M rather than being lazy and standing his ground.

I'm not getting your Mahomes comparison...... many QBs were making more than him prior to his new extension ($64M), yet you are singling Dak out. You are smart enough to know the NFL QB market pay fluctuation is based on the next up generally becoming the newest, highest paid.

There are a few QBs on record who admitted ( Mahomes, Allen, Burrow and Lamar to name a few ) their willingness to sign team-friendly deals. Dak, on the other hand, has always been all business. I think some of that thinking goes back 4 years as a starter playing on a 4th round rookie contract.

Either way, his career as a Dallas QB could come to an end by 2028 IMO.

Me and Dak...same page.
 
Dak Prescott handed his critics a huge counterargument in future conversations (if they can remember him saying it). That said, the only failure is wanting to be paid if it is being categorized as a failure. Any player receiving a contract whom observers do not see as deserving is a total failure of the individual co-signing the contract.

That responsibility is solely held by the Mad Genius Agency of the Dallas Cowboys franchise. Established 11,763 days ago. And counting.
 
Wow, what a bold and stupid statement.
I did not get to read the entire article yet. Need to run out and do some things. But is that taken out of context a bit? Yes fans and media at times rush to judgement on the last game. However, if you have skins on the wall, fans and media know they are just being critical of that game. Not the entire career.

Now if he is meaning you had a bad game, that should not dismiss the entire career. It is different. However, his career for 10 years is stats.
2-5 in the playoffs does not cut it for us. we want playoff wins, meaning WIN your last game played. And stop yapping about it.

When Dak leaves you are gonna be just like the Romosexuals do with Romo and revise history and talk about how good he really was lol. Romo went from a solid qb who choked in the playoffs to Tom Brady and Dan Marino once he retired. They miss you when you gone lol.

Let me help. Most people have these things called "jobs". These jobs require people to get up and actually leave the house. Often early in the morning.

I won't burden you with trying to understand the concept of time-zones right now while you're trying to process the introduction of the concept of jobs.

I don't know where you got that from, I don't talk about Aikman, Romo or any other QB when they're gone. I'm focused on who can take this team to the big game and win it. All this talk about anything else isn't important!!! I have 30+ years of proof young man, what do you have???? ;)

Hit dog holler.
:laugh:

For the record I didn’t question why anyone would be up going to work at 4 in the morning.

I was just concerned with the people whose DDS won’t allow them to sleep. I’m getting concerned.

Waits for the “I knew you’d respond like this” reply or the 1939 quote from a sitcom or how I made you fall into a rabbit hole.
