17. DAK PRESCOTT, DALLAS COWBOYS
After an impressive rookie season that saw Prescott rank eighth in PFF grades, he followed it up by ranking 19th in 2017 and 20th last year. Prescott’s throw-by-throw grading has him on the more conservative side, with two top-10 rankings at avoiding turnover-worthy plays while never ranking better than 22nd in big-time throw percentage. That leaves him dependent on his playmakers in order to produce in the passing game, and that group was in steady decline until Amari Cooper arrived and played like a top-10 wide receiver during the second half of 2018. Adding to the issues for Prescott, he was charged with a league-high 15 sacks last year, while ranking just 25th at avoiding negatively graded throws. Even with his added rushing ability, Prescott has settled in as a mid-tier quarterback whose production is more dependent on his supporting cast, and this will be a big year to see if he can get back to his rookie levels of efficiency.

I agree with the tier that they have Dak in.

Though I would certainly put him above several
Of the quarterbacks that are ahead of him.

I also think Dak legit can be a tier 2 QB. It’s the consistency. He has stretched of really good to great play. But he had that terrible slump he went through.

Can’t afford to have another slump like that.

I also feel like PFF rankings don’t quantify the 4th quarter/close games play. Which distinguishes Dak from a guy like Cousins for instance.

I don`t really know but that is obviously important. Saying that, forget about the ranking, the description seems spot on.

I hear you on that. They’re right that his key is getting back to the efficient play consistently. He will never be a throw the ball around 50 times a game for big numbers guy.

But he has shown the ability to play efficient and smart football for stretches of his career. Efficient and smart football wins games, even wins game against really good teams. Mixed with making timely plays when they matter most

Just has to be that guy consistently.

People always talk about the six games Elliott missed but they only talk about the first 3 games where Dak looked like garbage

They never talk about the last three which they went 3-0 and he bounced back
 
Elijah at 29 and Mara wants him to play the entire year :lmao: I’m actually starting to like the Giants, they haven’t been a threat to us in years and they may have a bigger circus with bigger imbeciles running the show then we do. Commanders still take the cake but the Giants are getting very, very close. Just need Jones to be a dud and that will be the icing on the cake!

I was going to comment this exactly. They described it perfectly; the rookie spark is gone and while he still wins games he feels reserved and reliant on other talent to bring a play to the next level.

I also liked what they said about getting back to some of that rookie year efficiency because I think if he just gets that vibe back he'll look like an experienced veteran version of his 2016 self.

To the credit of the guy you quoted, I agree that they kind of undersell his clutch aspects.

Dak is comfortably top-10. Looking forward to another strong Pro Bowl year from him.
