NFL QB Index, Week 9: Matthew Stafford vaults into top 10; Dak Prescott, Aaron Rodgers plummet​

​

Rank 20 -- Down 7 spots from last week -- Dak Prescott -- Dallas Cowboys · Year 9

2024 stats: 7 games | 63.7 pct | 1,845 pass yds | 7.0 ypa | 10 pass TD | 8 INT | 24 rush yds | 1 rush TD | 4 fumbles


Week 8's loss to the 49ers was another microcosm of Prescott's 2024 season. He has bright moments when he drops absolute dimes on his targets (to varying degrees of success), but he also threw a doomed pass into double coverage that never had a chance considering how Prescott had to step into Nick Bosa to get the throw off. His second pick was more of a great play by Deommodore Lenoir than a bad throw, but there were significant stretches in which Prescott struggled to produce anything positive. He managed to spark some life in the fourth quarter, hooking up with CeeDee Lamb twice for touchdowns, but the successes remain too infrequent. I also struggle to understand why the Cowboys tend to produce only when their backs are forced against the wall by the opposition. That's not on Prescott, but the turnovers aren't helping, either. It's definitely not the same near-MVP campaign he put together last season.

He fails to understand why the Cowboys tend to only produce when their backs are forced against the wall? XD Garbage Time. The 9ers got a little too cute with the prevent, and almost shot themselves in the foot.

Dak is so coddled. Even when they criticize him they soften it.
He's an overpaid choking bum plain and simple.

I know, right. Even used that stupid "near MVP" lie. One vote is not "near MVP", lol.

 

[noshame]

Thank God for garbage time otherwise he'd have 5td and 8 ints.
Not to mention the drops by defenders apparently he can't hit them either.

My bum choked once, nobody was impressed.

Prescott and Rodgers, both spent forces. 1 shall retire very soon a legend, the other will keep being awful for 4 more cash soaked years. Cheers Jerry.

Am I to understand Dak was ahead of Stafford previously?

Consolation prize: Aaron Rodgers going down with us. Happy to see the Cowboys Killer eat some humble pie too. Although he’s 40 years old….. what’s your excuse Dak?

Dak is finally being ranked where he always was in m mind. Middle of the pack QB. 15-20. I despise the fact Jerry ruined this team for 4 more years by signing this sack of trash to the largest extension in the history of the NFL. Imagine the hope that would be present on this forum and fanbase if we had eyes set on drafting a QB in 2025. Heck, Dallas could have been exploring trades the last 2 weeks if he wasn't on a long term crippling deal.

Still rueing the day. Absolute top rue of all time. Signing Dak to, not one, but two, non deserving extensions.

The 24 rushing yards is a staggering stat

Even gimpy Rodgers has 44 yards rushing

What the hell?

#20 is still too high. Like Watson, he shouldn't even be on the list.

Ha ha, bad timing for the article, Rodgers tossed 3 TD's and had a 118 QBR last night.

Should we expect the same from Dak? I mean, if you going to say someone is an MVP Candidate -- like some did last year -- when you going to expect them to produce?

NGL, I expect little at this point.

Me neither. I was expecting Dak to get exposed this season because we knew the offensive line was worst. But at this point the future of the cowboys looks bleak. I didn't expect dak to look this awful though. We made someone who looks like their in their final season because they are worn out the highest paid player in the NFL.
