Is Dak an elite Top 5 Quarterback?

[Swagger]

Lol...this is how you judge a QB? I guess Warren Moon was garbage as well. And I guess defense, special teams, and coaching doesn't play a factor....lol. Ok

Plus as I already mentioned yet people ignore, a washed Andy Dalton had a higher win % from games started and finished than Dak Prescott whilst Cooper Rush had a comparable record with Dak Prescott during the same seasons. Those are more relevant as obviously they are with the same players and coaches.

Again, I'm not claiming washed and practice squad quarterbacks are better than Dak Prescott but for a guy being paid elite money he really has to stand apart from back ups like Allen and Jackson do with their teams.

However, Dak goes as far as the team takes him.

 

[Yobwocs]

Nobody is claiming Rush and Dak are similar level of quarterbacks but their win/loss records during the same season are similar.

You have cherry picked the stats which is far more favourable than the actual record of when he, Rush and Dalton all played several games during the same season which is more relevant.

Any way let's just go by lifetime regular season games where context is questionable as the strength of the roster isn't taken into account when the starting quarterbacks went down.

Burrow (25% difference)
With: 41-32-1 (55%)
Without: 7-16 (30%)

Jackson (39% difference)
With: 80-34 (70%)
Without: 5-11 (31%)

Allen (44% difference)
With: 86-39 (69%)
Without: 1-3 (25%)

Rodgers at Packers (33% difference)
With: 150-79-1 (65%)
Without: 6-12-1 (32%)

Mahomes (20% difference)
With: 95-31 (75%)
Without: 11-9 (55%)

Tua (24% difference)
With: 46-32 (59%)
Without: 7-13 (35%)

Herbert (32% difference)
With: 41-38 (52%)
Without: 1-4 (20%)

Goff at Lions (34% difference)
With: 47-30-1 (60%)
Without: 5-14 (26%)

Hurts (21% difference)
With: 58-32-1 (64%)
Without: 3-4 (43%)

Stafford at Rams (36% difference)
With: 45-26 (63%)
Without: 3-8 (27%)

Prescott (10% difference)
With: 82-53-1 (60%)
Without: 13-13 (50%)

Pretty damning reading for Dak Prescott fans out there. The closest quarterbacks to him are Mahomes with 3 rings and Hurts with 2 Superbowls including 1 ring plus he started off in a horrible Eagles team which really brings down his winning %.

Dak Prescott is not a difference maker. He's not a game changer. Kirk Cousins with better PR.

You can call him not a difference maker. It's your opinion. But it's not fact. Someone else can easily say something different. Also coming from someone suggesting to have a life but continues to produce itineraries on Dak Prescott on a regular basis. Why also do you need to educate others? Because you seem to really need to. It's all kinda funny to me.

I also dunno when Goff has been injured for 19 games with the Lions. Citation needed. I don't even remember him being out for 1 game.

Dak was in the MVP talks in 2023 and 2025 (early on). 2 out of the last 3 years. Only reason he's off of it this year is because Cowboys have lost to the Lions and Vikings giving up 44 and 34 points respectively. It's not like he compounded the situation with turnovers. The pick he threw against the Lions was off a slant where the ball bounced high off of Pickens. If it took a different trajectory, angling low it might not have been intercepted. Those are the breaks. The pick he threw to Fluorney was the DB snatching the ball right out of the receiver's hands. He committed no turnovers on his own that game, so he didn't contribute to those 44 or 34 points given up. Yet the Cowboys still lost scoring 28.0 points across that stretch but giving up 39 points per game, right in line with giving up just a little bit more than we can score.

Cousins was never in the MVP race. He lost his job in Atlanta. Minnesota moved on from him, and since then has enjoyed a 14-3 year right after he departed. They're 6-8 this year, but they're far from desolate. Will they be fine next year? It's possible, O'Connell's a good coach - they had no problems moving on from Cousins.

Meanwhile...... Cowboys have had five 10 win seasons with Dak Prescott. Cousins has had only 2 despite being around longer. Also 2 less playoff trips than Dak despite being around longer. I'm not seeing where they're similar except how GMs view them. One seems easily replaceable. The other is still being seen as a priority and isn't going anywhere soon. Nobody thinks we need a Quarterback. Even Colin - longtime critic of Dak is saying Dallas is in a good situation because they need only draft a few position spots. Quarterback is definitely not one of them.

And it's also funny you produce those stats while Dak's overall win percentage is superior to Burrow's, Herbert's, Stafford's overall, and Goff's. Of course you're gonna deflect Burrow on the Bengal's bad defense, but failing to ignore Cowboys defense has been routinely awful in half of the last 6 years since 2020. Even in 2023.... they gave up 6 straight Touchdown drives to Jordan Love in the playoffs, so whatever they did in the regular season feels like an afterthought given that implosion vs the Packers.

And you'll assign Herbert's failures to coaching while Dak has never had a coach as good as Harbaugh. Also assigning Stafford's failures in Detroit as organizational despite the fact that Cowboys are seen as one of the worst organizations in the league with very poor management from the highest office.

 

[Swagger]

Dak Prescott is like the complete anti-moneyball theory. An overpaid, overrated and vastly overvalued quarterback with a salary cap in place...good luck with that!

 

[triplets_93]

Dak is right between something and nothing. He's too good to replace easily but, he's not good enough to elevate the team. If, Dak ever wins a Super Bowl, it will be because the team around him was superior with great defense, running game and special teams and he didn't do anything to mess it up.

No Jones is ever going to provide such a team around Dak.
They couldn't if they wanted too.
That requires money that won't/can't be spent.

Fair point about Goff. That looks wrong to me as well. But I'm looking up all the stats and working them out quickly. A few others could be a game or two out and feel free to correct me but on the whole the same point still remains

I have explained in previous posts about Dak's amazing MVP season in 2023. It was fool's gold.

Dak was never in the running for MVP this season. Based on your argument then Baker Mayfield was also in the conversation half way through the season. MVP only matters at the business end of the season from around this point Onwards and it's between three players...Stafford, Maye and Allen.

I agree Kirk Cousins is not an MVP quarterback. Again his winning record compared with quarterbacks on other teams is irrelevant (see my point below regarding this).

Dak's winning % compared with quarterbacks on other teams in different divisions, different conferences with different schedules is essentially irrelevant. They haven't had the same tools and faced the same opposition. It's like comparing how many points Fernando Alonso scored last season in an Alfa Romeo compared with Oscar Piastri in a Mclaren...i.e., it's a stupid argument because the variables are completely different so the results are nonsensical.

I do remember the Cowboys holding the 49ers to under 20 points in the 2023 play offs and losing the game despite keeping the 49ers under 20 points. Do you? What happened to Dak and the offense? Purdy (87.4 QBR) kept it tidy. Nothing jazzy. 0 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. Dak (63.6 QBR) with 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions...you can't even blame the offensive line. Dak sacked once and Purdy twice.

The crucial difference between the likes of Burrow, Herbert and Prescott is the offensive lines. Prescott would most likely be in a wheelchair if he played for those Bengals and Charger teams given the state of their offensive lines. On the whole Dak has been protected by the Great Wall of China in comparison including 4 All-Pro/6 Pro-Bowl offensive lineman.

Your last paragraph is all over the place. How many years has Herbert had Harbaugh as his Head Coach? Remind me who plays in their division again? Have you seen the offensive line Herbert has played behind during his entire career? Stafford has a ring and could add to that this season and is the current favourite for MVP. You should revisit one of my earlier posts concerning the amount of talent Dak has played with on offense...

 

[Swagger]

Josh Allen has won games this season with his defense conceding 40, 32, 34 and 31 points. Of course the Cowboys need a better defense but if your quarterback is the highest paid player in the history of the NFL with $231 million guaranteed over 4 years then he needs to win several shoot outs to justify the contract.

 

[Swagger]

In answer to the original question...obviously not.

Mahomes
Allen
Jackson
Burrow
Stafford

Are all above Dak Prescott as are several other quarterbacks in the league.

Again another example of a quarterback getting no respect for an MVP calibre season was Joe Burrow in 2024. 43 touchdowns and only 9 interceptions with a QBR of 108.5. Proper elite yet not even an All Pro that season. They had a 9-8 record losing several games despite scoring 25, 33, 38, 34, 27 and 38 points. That's probably a record.

Frightening thought is imagine how good Burrow would be if he actually had an offensive line and good running game!

 

[Swagger]

I've made my points. People can take them on board or not.

These are all YOUR opinion. You fail to see that. Dak is .606 all time.... good enough to be the 38th winningest Quarterback of all time. Maybe he's overvalued. Maybe 38th isn't good enough.... sure, and I'm not arguing that he's overvalued,...he may very well be. I'm just responding to the entirety of the spiel you wrote about him. It reeks of agenda and degrading things about him that spells falsehood.

Dak was 3rd in MVP after the Chiefs game. That's 70% of the year. Longer than Mayfield who maybe had 35% of the year....... so.....they're not quite the same. Dak isn't gonna win, but his MVP claim was for real just a few weeks ago - and would've remained for real if his defense didn't choke away the last 2 games. I say again, if the defense did their jobs against the Lions and Vikings - media would be clamoring for Dak to win MVP even if he wasn't amazing against BOTH the Lions and Vikings. Some would say he deserves it even over Stafford. Those slight differences is the only reason he's not in the race anymore.

Yes I agree Herbert hasn't had Harbaugh for long, but Dak so far has had Jason Garrett, a forgotten coach nobody remembers. Mike McCarthy known as a choke artist in big games dating as far back as Green Bay. He has 1 Super Bowl but his failures in the other years of his career are well documented. Dak's current coach is Brian Schottenheimer, an unproven name..... he could be Ken Wisenhunt (which isn't that bad), but who knows... he's unproven either way. I would say currently Herbert is in a better situation.

Herbert's O-Line isn't great, but their defense held Kansas City to only 13 points and Philadelphia to 19. Under 20 both times. What did Herbert do in those 2 games? Burrow's O Line isn't great, but his defense in his Super Bowl year forced 7 INTs in his last 3 playoff games. So he's had a defense before. And I agree the Cowboys defense did more than enough in that 2022 San Francisco game, but even then it didn't get as good as the Bengals in 2021. Or at least who knew if they could've strung together a few more great games. Maybe they could, and maybe you could blame Dak for ending our season before we saw the end product of our overall game. But fine... either way I'll give you that one.

Also think it's very disingenious to state Allen's accomplishments this year winning scoring 40+ points like he wasn't aided greatly by a pair of late turnovers by the Bengals and Ravens. Burrow thru a pick 6, and another line of scrimmage INT that culminated in the Bills comeback. Allen was not on the field during those 2 free gimmes Joe Burrow practically handed them. Jared Goff didn't make those errors against us. If he threw a pick 6 like Burrow did..... the score is 44-37 with Dak not on the field, and if he threw another pick..... Dak could drive a small length of the field for a game winning score. Henry fumbled the ball away that allowed Allen to even touch 40 points. Those were not shootouts. Those were gimmes handed him by the stupidity of the Ravens and Bengals.

And I get it.... you have a problem with Dak Prescott. But I'm not gonna argued with you forever. Believe me I don't care much one way or the other........ I just think you talk a lot of crap about him.... lol.

Not all my opinion, facts to back up my points.

Again, I reiterate my point about the winning % of any quarterback, not just Dak Prescott, being compared with quarterbacks on other teams. There's just such little relevance as they play with different teams with different coaches in different divisions, different conferences against different opposition. Other people may deem it relevant, but not in any way for me.

Dak Prescott had absolutely no chance of winning MVP this season due to the team record of the Dallas Cowboys unless they won at least 11-12 games which wasn't on the cards from a long way out. By way of comparison in 2024 Joe Burrow had 43 touchdowns and only 9 interceptions with a QBR of 108.5. Proper elite yet not even an All Pro that season. They had a 9-8 record losing several games despite scoring 25, 33, 38, 34, 27 and 38 points. That's probably a record.

With regard to Herbert and Burrow, the issues with their offensive lines have gone on for their entire careers. Who is Herbert throwing the ball to this season? Again, that's bad enough but the offensive line is awful any way, I think people do not realise just how bad as even when they do protect him on a play he's so used to having to speed up his processes to avoid being smashed it's difficult to slow everything down and play normally. Ok, the defense has played well at times but he's not exactly having all the time to throw the ball on offense. Burrow also doesn't have an offensive line and the defense is bad. He's in a hopeless situation hence why I think he could be seeking a trade.

I agree the Bengals defense showed up in the play offs in 2021 and in large part 2022 as well. The problem in both years was the terrible offensive line.

Allen is pretty much the Bills offense. He does not have a recognised receiver and he is a huge part of their running game. Was he helped against the Bills and Ravens, yes but mistakes happen in most high scoring games. He still had to make countless plays which helped the team score all of those points. So many huge plays on third and fourth down. I think he has been the best quarterback in the league over the past 18 months and by some distance.

I do not have a problem with Dak Prescott. I have made many points which you seemingly do not accept which is your prerogative, but given there's a salary cap it's my contention that the Dallas Cowboys will not sniff a Superbowl unless he takes a significant pay cut (which will not happen) or the Cowboys move on from him (which may not happen for several years). The results and footage is out there for everyone to watch over the years. It's difficult to construct a Superbowl roster when your quarterback is the highest paid player in the history of the NFL and $231 million over 4 years is very difficult, especially when Prescott really does need a strong supporting cast around him.

We will never change each other's minds so it's pointless carrying on the dialogue but make no mistake, I do not have any issue with Dak Prescott. We have very differing views that's all.

Out of interest where is Cousins in there - he probably has a higher QBR than some of those quarterbacks when he's a garbage, run of the mill regular season progress stopper.

Cousins has a higher passer rating than Peyton Manning so...again, I do not understand the fascination with people comparing quarterbacks on different teams. They play with different players, different offensive lines, different coaches, in different divisions and conferences against different opposition.

Of course the Cowboys need a better defense but if your quarterback is the highest paid player in the history of the NFL with $231 million guaranteed over 4 years then he needs to win several shoot outs to justify the contract.

Dak has a better WR corps than Allen. He's got a good RB, and the line has several 1st round picks invested. Dak has more than enough to succeed on offense. He should be able to engineer more shootouts against opposing teams when our defense is in the crapper. No excuses fly for games like the Arizona game from Dak and the offense..

Of course. Let's not pretend Allen wasn't given freebies by Joe Burrow's 2 late picks on back-to-back offensive drives (Allen wasn't even on the field for those) - one of those being a pick 6, and then a late Henry fumble. That's the only reason the Bills score drove up into the 40+++.

There is falsehood, and there is super falsehoods. That's a super falsehood.

Josh Allen has won games this season with his defense conceding 40, 32, 34 and 31 points. Of course the Cowboys need a better defense but if your quarterback is the highest paid player in the history of the NFL with $231 million guaranteed over 4 years then he needs to win several shoot outs to justify the contract.

Bottom line is that Dak Prescott is never going to live up to that contract and it will continue to hurt the team. Dedicating that much cap space for a guy who isn't a difference maker on offense was always going to be an issue.

Cowboys will miss the playoffs.
But Dak is elite,
Some of you can sleep with a smile on your face, tonight...
