Dak Prescott Poised To Join A List Of Great Quarterbacks In His Rookie Season

By now, we’ve kind of gotten used to how good Dak Prescott has been in his rookie season. We’ve seen him win games in all kinds of ways - win by a lot, win by a little, win through the air, win mainly on the ground, win with a fourth-quarter comeback, win when the team is playing poorly. All of this has led to an 11-1 record for the Cowboys and a berth in the 2016 playoffs.

It should be noted that Prescott is a “team” guy. He always says the right things in interviews, he respects the veterans and in turn has won their respect. His coaches love him, everybody who knows him says he’s a hard-worker with no ego.

So yeah, there’s a lot of praise to go around. Still, when I saw the company Dak is about to keep this season, I was taken aback. Dak already has 10 games this season with a passer rating of 100 or higher, that’s a rookie record for the NFL. If Dak can get one more and reach 11 on the season, he would be just the eighth quarterback in NFL history to do that. The list he would join is pretty special. These guys are among the best in the game. Check it out.

*Through 12 games

If you’re on a list with Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Peyton Manning, Drew Brees, Steve Young, Kurt Warner and Carson Palmer as a quarterback, you’re pretty good. If you do that as a rookie quarterback, you’re pretty special. Just another reason to look forward to a decade of Dak!
