"I had
Tom Brady coming out of college as a rookie and then the first seven years of his career," Shaw told NFL.com over the phone on Wednesday night. "And I had the opportunity to work with Dak before the draft. What I noticed about Dak was, this guy had the same desire, work ethic, the same traits as Brady. Nobody wants to be compared to anyone else. But he was the hardest worker, guys gravitate towards him, he was the first one there..."
"I told his agents Rick (Roberts) and Jeff (Guerriero) 'I'm not saying he's going to be the next
Tom Brady, but he has all the intangibles to do exactly the same thing. All Dak wants is to be the best. When he wakes up in the morning, that's what he wants. The most important thing for him was to learn how to play football."

"Peyton Manning, as talented as he was, as close to any player I know of or ever seen, maximized a lot of his potential," Jones said when asked how high of a ceiling Prescott has. "And I must say I don't know that anybody has ever gotten it all. We've all heard just how little of our potential that we really do maximize but that's from preparation and work. Everything we have seen, Dak has those kinds of qualities that when you think of Peyton Manning. You think of how he really developed his skills, how hard he worked at it, how he left nothing that he was aware of, how he addressed every nuance of his game, that's my picture of Peyton and know it to be accurate. I think that might be Dak's finest quality, his ability to look for every way you can to get better and continue to do it. So I think that there will be really dramatic improvement."

Owner/general manager Jerry Jones said part of his agreement with Romo, who signed a seven-year, $119.5 million contract extension this offseason, was the quarterback would spend “Peyton Manning-type time” at the facility.
“I can speak for Jason in this respect: Everything he is about wants more buy-in and more participation from the player,” Jones said. “So if Tony, for instance, would be here Monday through Saturday and be here from seven in the morning to six o’clock at night all over this place, then that’s better than the way it’s been. We’ll have more success, and Jason believes that. It’s certainly at quarterback but he believes it at the other positions, too.
“Tony is going to have more time, more presence. Not only is having in the offseason but when the season starts, beginning Mondays, assuming we played Sundays, he’s going to have more time on the job.
“A part of what we agreed with was extra time on the job, beyond the norm. That doesn’t mean that he didn’t have a lot of time on the job, but extra time on the job,
Peyton Manning-type time on the job.”
