Here is lots of factual data for you. Enjoy!!
Since 2016, the Mississippi State product has piled up some incredible numbers which clearly put him in the category of elite.
All-time, Prescott ranks fifth in career passer rating (tied with Drew Brees with 98.7), fourth in career pass interception percentage with only 1.7%, and fifth all-time in completion percentage with 66.6%.
To go along with that, since 2016, he ranks eighth in total passing yards, 11th in yards per game, and 10th in passing touchdowns while missing 11 games in the time span.
Prescott has also finished top five in QBR in three of his five full seasons and top 11 in four of the five.
Since 2019, though, Prescott has only been improving as a passer.
No QB ranks higher than Prescott in yards per game, and only eight rank above him in total passing touchdowns, despite the games Dak lost to injury.
To go along with long-range stats, No. 4 was pretty spectacular stat-wise this past season as well. He posted the
Cowboys’ single-season record for touchdowns with 37, 4,449 passing yards, and a third in the league ranking passer rating of 104.2 in 2021.
The
advanced stats also supported Prescott’s performance last season. He ranked first in red zone accuracy rating, fifth in true passer rating, 10th in expected points added, eighth in deep ball accuracy rating, second in red zone completion percentage, and first in touchdown passes versus the blitz.
Now, with all that in mind, imagine if he was healthy all year long and had an offensive line that didn’t rank 23rd in
pass block win rate in 2021. When compared to his peers, Prescott ranks highly, as the stats clearly tell. So, why is he often ranked below quarterbacks like Jackson, Carr, and Murray, when he puts up better numbers than them and so many others?
