Dak Prescott is now the NFL’s longest-tenured starting QB

[Rockport]

This same front office left Garrett as Head Coach for a decade. Not saying Dak is/isn't good, just pointing out that "being in your role for x number of years with the Cowboys" may not be the testament you think it is.

Players don’t last that long unless they’re productive. Big difference between players and coaches.

 

[Rockport]

Or it could be the simple fact that Jerry won't bring in a suitable backup capable of competing for the starting job, leaving them no choice but to start Dak.... Jerry doesn't want to hurt Dak's feelings

Riiiiiiiiiight…

Well, Garrett was the longest tenured coach at one point as well.

True,
Pretty much one in the same.
Good point.

 

[DandyDon52]

this thread is good for the next 10 years ! or longer dak may play as long as brady !

 

[khiladi]

Which means Cowboy fans are STILL the longest tenured fans wallowing in misery as a result of having to watch garbage starting QB play…

 

[sandbridge77]

He may be the longest tenured but Gardner Minshew has more snaps in NFC championship games.

 

[Flamma]

Had Derek Carr stayed with the Raiders, he'd be #1 right now.

 

[Flamma]

2 firsts and a second???? For Dak???? Not a chance.

I don't think so either. But he's a capable QB, he'd get a 1st +. The Colts gave the Eagles a 1st and a 3rd for Carson Wentz!! I'd say a 1st and 2nd at minimum.

Mahomes is second at 6

But he also has 3 Superbowl appearances
2 Superbowl wins
2 Superbowl MVP's
2 NFL MVP's
ect ect ect

NFL or NFC? We're still making up garbage for Dak propping, I see.

Longest QB tenure with current team as an NFL starter____
Prescott w/Cowboys - 7 seasons (2016)
3 players with 5 seasons (2018)
Josh Allen w/Bills
Kirk Cousins/Vikings
Patrick Mahomes w/Chiefs

Mahomes is second at 6

2 Superbowl MVP's
2 NFL MVP's
ect ect ect

Add Cousins (Vikings) and Allen (Bills) -- tied with Mahomes.
All became starters in 2018.

But...but...but Romo went longer!

 

[Section446]

And he peaked in 2016.

Incorrect.
Jason Garrett became HC midway through the 2010 season.
Pete Carroll became HC of the Seahawks at the beginning of 2010;
so he was - and still is - the longest-tentured NFC head coach currently with one team.
And of course, Bill Belichick is the longest-tenured HC with one team currently in the NFL - 23 seasons and counting.

But...but...but Romo went longer!

Heading into the 2023 season, Prescott needs only 30 starts to tie Romo.
Tony Romo___ 162 games (regular season + playoffs) - 133 QB starts
Dak Prescott___103 games (rs + ps) - 103 QB starts

You say you love Romo but you're constantly taking shots at him. No one brought up Romo but you.

You need to bring up Romo to deflect any criticism of Prescott. It's your MO.

P.S. Don't say Romo has started 11years, four more than Prescott. Use the games started stat instead. Romo started 127, Prescott 97. That's 30 more games or about 1.75 seasons more.

Wow, cool info @Motorola ! 2 more full seasons, Dak will surpass Romo in games started for the Cowboys. I wonder which QB has the most tenured starts in Cowboys history?

I'm not taking any shots at Romo. I'm simply stating facts. If it bothered you that I brought up Romo, sorry. It's good to make the comparison.

Yep when you grossly over pay the under talented this is what you get
