You would be hard-pressed to find someone in the history of the world that knows more about football, and specifically the Dallas Cowboys, than Pro Football hall of Famer Gil Brandt. When Mr. Brandt speaks, people listen. He remains one of the most influential voices in the NFL community and has one of the greatest scouting eyes that the game has ever seen.

Roger Staubach

Troy Aikman

Dak Prescott

Danny White

Tony Romo

Mr. Brandt has both Prescott and Romo in his top five, but the former at third and the latter at fifth.

Spots one and two are taken by Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman, respectively, and Danny White even makes an appearance at number four. It truly is fascinating that Prescott would not only outrank Romo just four seasons in, but Danny White, too. It says a lot about how impressive Dak Prescott’s career has been to this point in time.

Let the fun begin...

what does gil brandt know. he is clueless about football. Dak is not good enough to be starter in this league

Diehardblues · May 28, 2020

Dak and Cousins are 6th and 7th in lifetime QB passer ratings.

Other top 20 are Derek Carr, Chad Pennington, Tannehill and Mariota .

What does this say about Passer ratings?

All the top QB are from pass happy era except Montana and Young who were first teams to be pass happy. Lol

This QB ranking is flawed.

Yea, these passer ratings in this pass happy era are often ballooned.

I think most of us if we take our star on the helmet blinders off know what an Elite prolific passer looks like.

Exactly. Dak is a good player. He is an extremely effective player when used properly. He is not, as of yet, a top 10 passing QB in this league.

Greg, why is that passer rating chart flawed?

CoachD · May 28, 2020

I like Brandt's list especially Romo at 5 since the guy won a total of what two playoff games and was a choke artist, as I always say Romo was a decent quarterback who was second tier and could never break into the elite class sorry Romo lovers.

I mean it would feel weird putting him ahead Aikman and Roger. Romo doesn’t hold the same weight as those two.

Unless he gets us that 3-peat Switzer screwed us out of.

Meredith and Aikman are tied for 2/3. White and Romo were not better than Don. Not close.

Any list without Meredith our 1st QB inducted in Ring of Honor is flawed.

Sounds like Gil is looking for a free sky box at the games. Lol

That's about what I was thinking. Agenda driven list.

He loves the 4th quarter because thats when he gets to pile up all his garbage time stats.

The fourth quarter. Is when football games are won or lost .

Wow, you are terrible at analyzing and making proper contextual interpretations.

Whirlwin · May 28, 2020

If Prescott was the end his career right now I would agree. But the story hasn’t been written yet. If he gets his ring. I’ll put him third overall

How about this not-so-subjective way of ranking the QBs, based on the # of NFC championship appearances they guided their team to:

1. Roger Staubach (5)

2. Troy Aikman (4)

3. Danny White (3)

4. Don Meredith (2)

5. Tony Romo (0)

6. Dak Prescott (0)

I realize you need a complete team to advance to the title game, especially on defense. But you also need a field general at QB. You need that guy who can will his offense and outscore the other team in the post season even when his defense has let them down. See what Brady did against the Falcons.

I do believe Dak can move up on this list. He has the ability. But he's not there yet.

You're missing Craig Morton, Mark Sanchez and Vinny Testaverde

So who's #1 in Passer rating? Some bum?

Just presenting the stats. Not sure why they make you so angry.

I'm not angry. Just befuddled at how you can't interpret them accurately.

Risen Star · May 28, 2020

1. Troy Aikman
2. Tony Romo
3. Danny White
4. Don Meredith
5. Roger Staubach
6. Drew Bledsoe
7. Bernie Kosar
8. Randall Cunningham
9. Vinny Testaverde
10. Andy Dalton

Can't put DiNucci on there until he plays.

Well, I was referring to the guys on the original top 6 list. And not QBs that took other teams to championship games, especially those that were merely bus drivers.

Yes, Morton helped take Dallas to SB V. But I nor anyone else would put him ahead of anyone else on that list.
