Dak Prescott Sets NFL Passing-Rushing TD Record Cam Newton and Mike Vick Never Could

You don't have a point. Cam Newton blows Dak away at this very same ability... but because of technicalities, you disingenuously present this fake record as something Newton could never do.
Cam Newton has seasons of:
21 passing, 14 rushing
24 passing, 6 rushing
22 passing, 6 rushing
35 passing, 10 rushing (MVP year)

But because these seasons didn't happen consecutively, Dak owns an imaginary record. Even though all of these seasons were better than or equal to Dak, sometimes greatly so.

It’s his first three seasons. Not because it’s consecutive years. It’s to show how hard it is to play quarterback coming out of the gate.

It's a technique called "multiple endpoints." The stat was designed with the specific intent of finding something that makes Dak come out better than anyone. At least 20 passing TDs AND at least 5 rushing TDs AND first three seasons. Nobody would ever look at this stat as something meaningful out of the blue. Instead, someone noticed that Dak happened to just clear these numbers in each of the 3 years and built a stat around that fact.

Cam misses only because he had 19 TDs his second season, one short of the requisite 20. Never mind that he had 7 more combined TDs in the three years and only in his second year did Dak out-TD him, by one. The stat is designed to keep Cam and everyone else out.

Cam has only done it 4 times his whole career and he is the all time leader

If that's true, then it fails miserably. Dak's passing TDs total is at the bottom of the league over the last 3 years, and running three yards into the endzone while 11 defenders chase Zeke the other way is not a significant skill.

Yeah but even if Cam had done it is still a impressive feat.

If he just wanted to pimp Dak he would have said 22/6 because that is what he actually did all 3 years

If he wanted to make a good record, he would have said 35 TD, 4000 yards and 100 QB rating...

22/6 is a bad season.

Sounds remarkably similar to mining for stats that show that Dallas is a victim of a mass, NFL-wide assault by refs who like to play scrooge year-round for a no-doubt hefty ransom from the coffers of the multi-billion dollar powerhouse called the NFL.
 
Let’s hope Dak at least matches Vick and Newton by winning a conference championship. Those are the stats I care about. Yardage? Who cares?
 
Its an arbitrary record that announcers like to toss around. Similar to the if dallas gets to 20 points they win stat. They are useless knowledge stats which have little to no bearing on the greatness of whatever player it is tied to.

I want to Pimp Dak and add in that he has started every game the last 3 yrs Only Stafford ,Cousins and Wilson have done that in our conference .

Durability is key I like not cringing when he gets tackled .

The thing is... if he wanted to he could. All of the QBs that come into the NFL these days are good athletes. Whether it's Jackson, Allen, Mahomes, etc. If they wanted to pick up cheap rushing TDs at the expense of their running back, they could easily get 5 a season. The difference is, all of these guys are first round picks that the teams are betting their future on and don't want them out there knocking heads when they could just hand off and get the same result. Meanwhile Dak is a fourth round guy making peanuts who the FO apparently doesn't care too much about breaking his neck. I mean who is Dak really competing with in the QB rushing TD competition? Competent NFL QBs neither want or need them.
