Why Cowboys’ Dak Prescott among NFL’s most overrated QBs, plus what to expect from Steelers’ new-look offense - CBS Sports
Quarterbacks drive the NFL conversation. But which ones might be getting a bit too much hype these days? And which ones deserve even more love than they get? We identified some of the league’s most overrated (and underrated) quarterbacks ahead of 2025 training camp, and a couple of NFC East stars landed on opposite ends of the rundown: Overrated: Dak Prescott (Cowboys) — It’s not that Prescott is bad. He really isn’t. You don’t last nearly a decade as the Dallas Cowboys’ starter, with seven playoff appearances, by accident. But that Cowboys brand magnifies everything, and the simple truth is that Prescott is the latest face of an organization that’s routinely failed to make deep-playoff noise out of the NFC. He’s regularly considered among the NFL’s top 10 or so starters, he’s survived multiple coaching changes and he’s repeatedly landed lucrative extensions in Dallas. He’s also struggled to stay healthy and/or control the ball in three of his last five seasons, and he enters Year 10 with just two postseason victories to his name. Underrated: Jalen Hurts (Eagles) — Wait, really? The reigning Super Bowl MVP is underrated? It sure seems like it. You won’t find anyone who puts up a fight when you mention Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow, Josh Allen in lists of elite quarterbacks. Throw Hurts’ name in there, however, and all of a sudden you’re clawing for your life. But since when did gaudy stats and pretty highlights mean more than, you know, winning games that matter? Hurts played more of a background role in the Philadelphia Eagles’ historic Super Bowl LIX run, but too many people forget he’s now given two championship-caliber performances at that stage. And he’s still just 26! He may not be flawless, but he’s close to inevitable.

Nevertheless, Hurts deserves extra credit because he’s won a lot while playing for one of the more stable franchises of the past decade, while Prescott gets dinged for being one of several quarterbacks to be hampered by an organization that continually underperforms. It makes sense, if you don’t think about it. [BLG Note: Cowboys fans love to act like Dak, who has one of the weakest playoff resumes EVER, is so much better than he really is.]

7. Philadelphia Eagles- Jalen Hurts (26): Super Bowl Champion Jalen Hurts could easily be in the top five. He had an efficient season, and there’s no reason to think he won’t continue to be. Most importantly for Hurts, the roster around him is loaded, and Howie Roseman will continue to stack the roster around him moving forward. [...] 19. Dallas Cowboys- Dak Prescott (31). Age...
