He had better raise his play if his salary is about to cross the $30 million mark. Prescott has been fantastic far more often than not during his first three years in the league, but his consistency and is ability to diagnose a defense are things that will need to improve as he transitions into this point of his career
Look, this is just his fourth season, and quarterbacks have a tendency to continue improving every year. As for a history lesson, let's look back at the first three seasons of Hall of Famer Troy Aikman's career. In 38 of a possible 48 games in his first three seasons, Aikman put up a 14-24 record with the Cowboys. He completed 618 of 1,055 passes (59 percent) for 7,082 yards, 31 touchdowns and 46 interceptions while being sacked 90 times. His career quarterback rating over those three seasons was 70.5, with one winning season, one Pro Bowl selection and no playoff wins. And we know where Troy went from there. As for Dak, his three-year totals over 48 games read 975 of 1,475 attempts (66.1 percent), 10,876 yards, 67 touchdowns and 25 interceptions while being sacked 113 times. His three-year QB rating stands at 96.9, a 32-16 starting record, with all three winning seasons, two Pro Bowl selections and one playoff victory. That's pretty high already level to begin with, wouldn't you say.
Honestly, I think he will continue to improve and by seasons end we will be arguing if he is top 5 or top 10 QB.

you have to really hate Dak not to see the potential for improvement. I don't think any other team's fans are as hard on QBs than Cowboy fans... Danny White, Tony Romo, Dak Prescott... All very talented QBs yet Cowboys fans swear they were/are bums.
