Cowboys QB Dak Prescott Better Than Russell Wilson?
FRISCO - Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is about to go to work on proving he's worth a massive new contract that will him an average of $40 million per year over the next four seasons. There are plenty of reasons to believe he will do just that.
But earning all the accolades that are already coming his way? That might be even more challenging.
Lofty expectations are already starting to take take, with one NFL analyst and film guru, Greg Cosell, proclaiming that Prescott is already a better quarterback than Seattle Seahawks superstar, Russell Wilson.
“I think you can make an argument that at this moment in time Dak Prescott is a better quarterback (than Wilson),” Cosell said on the Ross Tucker Podcast. “And I think the tape shows that. I know the tape shows that.”
In this space, we've make the pro-Dak argument might be to have a career that mirrors Wilson's. The Seattle QB has played in two Super Bowls, is a Super Bowl champion, has been seen as a top-tier NFL quarterback for nearly a decade, and ... well, as we put it on 105.3 The Fan while co-hosting the "Shan & RJ'' show:
"Wilson is the QB who Dak aspires to be.''
Wilson is coming off of arguably his best regular-season effort as a pro, throwing for 4,212 yards and 40 touchdowns, while completing 68 percent of his passes. And these statistical accomplishments have been consistent for him, about as consistent as Seattle's winning.
Wilson has also led the Seahawks to the playoffs in eight of his nine seasons, coming away as a victor of nine of his 16 playoff chances.
It is not a rip on Prescott to point out that on the other hand, he led the Cowboys to the playoffs just twice in five seasons, winning one playoff game in 2018.
It is worth noting that before his season-ending injury in Week 5 of the 2020 season, Prescott was on pace to throw for a record 6,760 yards, as well as 36 touchdowns.
Maybe that would've happened.
But it didn't. It hasn't. Not yet.
Dak Prescott's future in Dallas might very well be a brilliant one. And if he keys the Cowboys to two Super Bowls during the rest of his career, it is fair to say that exactly at that time he will be Russell Wilson's peer.
