Would you prefer more traditional metrics, like how his 40 wins through his first four seasons are the 5th most by any QB in history?

Where does his hat size rank among active quarterbacks

Football is a what-have-you-done-for-me lately sport and when I watched a lot of Cowboys games last year, let me tell you I didn't exactly see Dak Prescott leading his team to victory by hook or by crook and establishing himself as a starter in the National Football League. Quite honestly, he didn't even show up - and I think that's a problem.

Lol, good bit

I am fine with Herbert being better than Dak and the reason why is because Herbert is better at football than Dak

Most NFL execs are garbage.

Or, you could blame it on the fact that Dallas has generally had a garbage defense for the last 5 years, how many times you score on the other team comes back and scores again.

You know what, you're right. The great oline, RB, and WR group isn't enough. Dak isn't getting help from his defense.

Next you're going to say it's because Dak plays in a tough division or something.

Prescott, however, has not always been great against high-level teams. In 2019, Dallas was 1-6 against opponents that made the playoffs, with Prescott throwing for eight touchdowns to eight interceptions in those matchups. Against non-playoff teams, Prescott cleaned up, with 22 touchdowns to three interceptions and a 7-2 record. For his career, Prescott is 9-17 against eventual playoff teams.

Where g() is a function that scales from 0-100, where 50 is average and NFC East = 0

Pretty good list, and I agree with 99% of it, but how is Jacob Eason, a former 4th rounder who didn't throw a pass last season, ahead of anyone? Or is he just supposed to be a generic placeholder for whoever the Colts trade for?

Honestly, I'd be more offended if Wentz was ranked that high.

Hes basically a rookie, who I put at the bottom by default. But Eason has at least had a year in the system. That's my reasoning

We need more women in STEM, and by that, I mean skateboarding, television, esports, and magic.
I would:

- Move Watson up between Wilson and Jackson
- Move Prescott up between Jackson and Allen
- Move Brady down between Stafford and Herbert
- Flip Murray and Burrow
- Flip Fitzpatrick and Ryan
- Flip Dalton and Garoppolo
- Move both Lock and Jones down after Darnold

But the list is fine as-is tbh, good job

2019:
Cowboys WRs - #1 Drops
Cowboys D - T#27 in turnovers
Cowboys D - T#32 in interceptions
Cowboys K - #26 FG%
Cowboys K - #28 points

Games 4, 5, 11, and 15 (they were even money in G12)

Game 4 - NOR 12, DAL 10: Zeke was handed the ball 18 times for a whopping 35 yards. Zeke and Witten both fumble in the game, giving NOR a two-possession advantage. Prescott still completed 66% of his passes.

Game 5 - DAL 24, GB 34: Dak throws for 460 yards and 2 TDs. However, the Defense gives up 14 points in the first half, Maher misses 2 field goals, and Dallas WRs have 4 drops, two of which bounce off receiver's hands into GB interceptions. Two possession advantage for GB.


Game 11 - NE 13, DAL 9: Close game, Dak throws for more yards than Brady in bad weather.

Game 15: PHI 17, DAL 9: Dallas Defense gives up another 10 in the first quarter, DALLAS WRS HAVE 4 DROPS, Pollard fumbles, Defense gets 0 interceptions.

When a team's defense allows 30+ points, the BEST quarterbacks in the NFL only win about 25% of their games.

https://twitter.com/catchtheblitz/status/1264205320030769153?s=20

Dak is the 4th best.

So yes, being a team game and all, having your defense give up points left and right will affect your QB WINNZZZZ

Despite that fact Dak Still won more games in his first 4 seasons than all but 5 other quarterbacks Ever, in the History of football.

Versus teams with a winning record: Dak Prescott 13-20

Aaron Rodgers 36-43
Baker Mayfield 6-14

Justin Herbert 1-5

I like Burrow a lot. He threw some darts last year. I was impressed watching games with him and Herbert all season.


But also camp is supposed to be unbridled optimism time. I feel like the only pessimism QBs in the league right now out of camp are Burrow, Wilson and Hurts.

Even Denver is loving the upgrade to Teddy. Unless I'm missing some yikes camp moments.
