When you have to point to wins alone to defend a QB you know you have a fraud player because wins is a team stat and there should be aspects to that QB's play that lead to those wins. Otherwise he's just along for the ride.
Prescott is a fraud and the moment he signs that contract he will be the most overpaid player in the history of the NFL. He positively impacts nothing. He makes nobody around him better. He must be carried.
An opinion that no one who earns money working in the NFL or even near it in the media seems to share. That doesn’t necessarily make you wrong, but it certainly makes you sound like a dog with a bone. Even the players who leave Dallas and complain about the system appear to have nothing negative to say about Dak.
Words like “fraud,” “most overpaid player in the history of the NFL,” “impacts nothing,” “makes no one around him better,” and “must be carried” are all emotional extremes that make it impossible to take your opinion seriously.
Those who want to call Dak a top 5 talent are also dealing with extremes. While he’s been a winner, even in college with a team that had no business being competitive in the SEC, Dak is not the prototype QB. However, except for a small handful, the QB position in the NFL is garbage. The years where even crappy teams had excellent QBs is long gone. Due to talent and intangibles, Dak is clearly more desirable than half the starting QBs in the league, and he has what Roger Staubach calls the most important quality in a QB, the belief of his teammates. Up to now, he’s nowhere near the top as a pure passer, but those of you who want to argue that he’s an embarrassment and one of the worst can’t be taken seriously.
