Great points here. And I feel much the same.
For me, Dak is at a crossroads. That’s why I’m glad the team hasn’t rushed into another huge money contract extension. After last season, I think he has something to prove. And to earn that next contract.
But I will also give credit where credit is due. Prescott has put together some excellent seasons in the past, and played well enough to win a Championship. Other factors prevented it in the past, not the quarterback.
Prescott outplayed Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs in 2016. He definitely wasn’t the reason why Dallas list that game.
And he’s had a better overall career than both Goff and Wentz, his two contemporaries whose teams have gotten to the Super Bowl.
Does he need to bounce back? Yes, undeniably.
And I think that barring injury, there are no excuses for not at least getting to the Championship Game this year.
But we’ll have to see how things play out this year.
