Good article by Mickey.
Though We know how this will go. I doubt many will actually read the article.

He does mention about the lack of playoff success. But also says this.

"Cowboys, have been haphazard, without much thought, and mostly based on the inability of the Cowboys to either reach the playoffs every year or the inability to even win two rounds of playoff games, and of course, from these surface evaluations, that then all falls on Dak's shoulders.
Because as we know, the only members of an NFL team with a record are the head coach and the quarterback, the commanders, right, allowing the likes of a wide receiver or defensive end escaping any sort of the record-related wrath."

Can't resist turning, er, returning to Bill Parcells for his commonsense assessment of the quarterback position:
"They aren't out there playing singles."


Oh how true all of that is.
No I am not defending Dak.

Going to add this as well.

"That's the one thing I love about the Cowboys nation and being a player of the Cowboys is, it's Super Bowl or bust," Prescott said while speaking to fans during a virtual meet and greet alongside Cowboys rookie DB Caleb Downs. "And truthfully, that's the only reason you play this game. And so if that's not your mindset, if that's not your mindset as a fan, then to me, you don't have the right passion. You're not a true winner. So absolutely, we're working every day for it…"

I am. The Cowboys are extremely lucky to have a great QB for so many years.
 
“But finally, finally a respectable panel was established. ESPN last week began ranking the Top 10 players at each position. But unlike previous panels, these rankings are a collaboration of votes from NFL executives, coaches and scouts, like guys paid princely to know the what the heck they are doing. Oh, and not just tabulating votes but also gathering unattributed quoted analysis of the players. Imagine that, from experts actually involved in the game.“
 
“Dak has been that good. He is that good, a gold standard for Cowboys future quarterbacks. His career QB rating of 98.3 is a franchise record after 10 seasons, which means higher than Cowboys Hall of Fame quarterbacks Roger Staubach (83.4) and Troy Aikman (81.6), though poor Troy had to suffer through a 0-11 start that rookie season of 1989 when the Cowboys finished 1-15, ending up with a 55.7 QB rating that year on arguably the worst team in franchise history, yes, from a talent standpoint, worse than the Cowboys 1960 inaugural season of 0-11-1.”
 
Oh, wait, also consider what one voting NFL coordinator had to say about Dak Prescott:

"He's a true, acute progression passer. There are only so many of those types. He can read the whole field, from pre- to post-snap. He's just really a good commander of the offense."
Well, let's go with that then for 2026:
"Comdr. Prescott."
 
In due consideration of the swoon of last year's defense, improvement on that side of things will surely take a strong consideration for team success to be seen as acceptable. As always, the offense must also do their part to ensure satisfaction of those who run things. Team performance as a whole must take precedence for success to be given its rightful priorities. Every player must share in that effort.

The only way Dak can redeem himself is by performing well in the playoffs, and the way things are going, he might not get another chance! Fingers crossed.
