Fans go too far to make a point either way. The only point that is accurate is that Hurts was a better QB than Dak was last year. That doesn't mean that he has ever been a better passer than Dak before or that he ever will again. There were clear reasons why both ended up having the seasons that they did.
I do not understand why it is so difficult for some to admit that Hurts was better. The evidence is empirical. The only reason not to accept it is because those who bad-mouth Dak are insufferable. But it makes those who defend Dak look bad when they won't admit something that is factually undeniable. If they want to say that Dak has had the better career so far, that's certainly accurate. They want to say he was better two years ago, that's also accurate. But last year, the bottom line is that Hurts was better.
Look you're entitled to your opinion and I'm gonna stick to the fact that Hertz played slightly better because his team gave him the benefits to allow him to play better he had better play calling better talent around him and the success correlates directly to that my point is Prescott got most of that taken away from him in the offseason they were slow to adjust during the regular season with his offensive line the run game and his weapons at receiver then he breaks his hand has to come back from that you can't make a fair comparison unless you bring up context and facts the fact is Hertz may have played slightly better but only because he had that benefit
I mean a good analogy would be say there were two races the first heat race happened early in the day it was perfect no wind no nothing,
the second Heat race things changed it got wet ,there was a headwind, and in this race no one decided to take that into account therefore the first heat the guy who won that got to race in perfect conditions and his time afforded him to go to the Olympics by a tenth of a second, even though the second guy and the second he just barely finished behind him but he had to fight through bad conditions...
if things were reversed how do you think it would have turned out??
good thing in track they actually do take those things into account typically I'm not an expert but they don't allow records without asterisks and they take wind and all that stuff into account...
I'm just saying that's how it works, Hurts had a lot better situation last year and played slightly better. But Prescott wasn't far behind, I mean outside of some really awful bounces and tips that cause his interception rate to go up he still had 25 passing touchdowns still destroyed Tampa Bay in the playoffs and we ended up having to play the 49ers with a full complement of a team where Hurtz got to just skate through the playoffs playing the giants and a broke down 49ers team...
and then when they had to face the better team, they got beat... But if you want to take that a step further why didn't hurts win the Super bowl was it because of his play or was it because of his team I'd say I blame the defense, although he did fumble the football but I'm still not directly blaming him because he played well enough to win put up points but his defense didn't..
It's about content and perspective but most of this is how you view it and my point of view which is a difference of opinion from yours,
I believe Prescott on that Eagles team or Prescott on that Rams team with Matthew Stafford it would have had the same results it comes down to the team and the circumstance.
