I’m posting this article as it gives a sense of what others think of Dak and how it reflects what the majority of the board now think of Dak and also has some interesting tidbits I quote below.

On the other hand, since 2021, Prescott is also 12-12 in all starts, regular season and postseason, against opponents that finished with winning records.
The Fortress is 2-5 lifetime as a starting quarterback in the postseason, 1-3 lifetime as a home QB1 in the playoffs. He’s 22-20 lifetime in 42 regular-season outdoor starts, 16-15 lifetime vs. the AFC, 4-5 lifetime vs. the AFC West. We could go on.
You want to roll those dice again? Yes, Prescott was a second-team AP All-Pro choice this fall. He also has a first-team All-Pro wideout in CeeDee Lamb to throw to. And a first-team All-Pro guard in front of him (Zack Martin), lined up near a second-team guard (Tyler Smith) and a second-team left tackle (Tyron Smith).
Dak got pressured on only 17% of his dropbacks, per Pro-Football-Reference.com. With the Broncos’ line, which remained relatively healthy, Wilson was pressured on 25.5% of his dropbacks this past season — and that was down a few ticks from a 28.6% rate in 2022.
It’s awfully hard to fire off those glorious, high-arcing deep shots from the comfort of your keister. When it comes to Dak, the call’s an easy one, and borrowed straight from his arsenal. Hard pass.
