One Giants site believes the G-Men have a better quarterback group than Dak Prescott.
We disagree on things as a fanbase. It is normal. Something that one person believes is great is viewed as utter trash by another. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and therefore our opinions on things differ from time to time. Again, that is to be expected.
One of the most divisive issues among Dallas Cowboys fans specifically is always the quarterback who plays for the team. This is true of Dak Prescott, was true of Tony Romo before him and will be true for all of time. Unless you are lifting Lombardi Trophies you are subject to ridicule. That is the game, for better or worse.
However you feel about Dak Prescott is one thing, but there is an element about who he is and his abilities as a quarterback that we should all agree on.
This time of year is known for thinking, speculating and pontificating. We are in the most doldrum-y doldrum of the offseason, after all.
Recently our friends at Big Blue View conducted an interesting exercise and ranked the position groups on offense across the entire NFC East. This is a fun thing to think about, although with the Philadelphia Eagles serving as reigning Super Bowl Champions it is a bit less fun than normal.
BBV handed out points for each ranking. If a team had the best player at a certain group they received four points, if they were second they received three, so on and so forth. At the end of the exercise they tabulated all of the math to see how things shook out. You can read their analysis here.
As is customary they started with the quarterback position. BBV ranked Jayden Daniels ahead of Jalen Hurts which may strike some as outlandish, but obviously there is some context and nuance involved in that conversation. Jalen Hurts is good, but uniquely so and that requires an expansive conversation. We are not here to have that one, though.
We are here today because BBV ranked the Giants quarterback situation (Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston and Jaxson Dart) ahead of Dak Prescot. This is the same Dak Prescott who the Giants have lost 13 straight games against, by the way.
The No. 3 spot is controversial, but should it be? Let me preface this by saying no Giants quarterback is as talented as Dak Prescott. I have praised Prescott for years. He’s underrated, cerebrally gifted, and he has above-average arm talent. Still, he is the highest-paid player in NFL history, with a $50.5 million cap hit in 2025 and $ 231 million guaranteed. That’s a lot of cash, and his contract has a no-trade clause.
He’s also 31 years old and missed most of last season with a torn hamstring that required surgery. I’m a big fan of Prescott, but there’s plenty of reason...
