With new weapons and a revamped scheme, the Cowboys quarterback has a prime opportunity to reassert his place among the NFL’s elite.
Dak Prescott is entering his 10th season as the starting quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys – the most valuable sports team in the world.
As part of the show?
Over the past decade, Prescott has delivered numerous high points for the Cowboys, but his career has also seen its share of setbacks. As a result, opinions remain divided among fans and analysts regarding his true value as a franchise quarterback.

But not in this case.
Yahoo Sports’ Charles McDonald ranked the top 10 quarterbacks going into the 2025 season and slotted Prescott at No. 7 on the list.
On the surface, that doesn’t seem too shocking.But …
On this list, Dak comes in ahead of NFC East rival quarterbacks Jalen Hurts, Jayden Daniels, and Russell Wilson.
“Prescott (is a) legitimate floor-raiser … Prescott is coming off the shakiest season of his career, which was the case before he went down with a hamstring injury. That said, it was an outlier for a quarterback who normally alwaygives his offense a chance to be competent no matter the circumstances,” McDonald wrote.
Dallas strengthened Prescott’s supporting cast this offseason by selecting offensive lineman Tyler Booker in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and acquiring wide receiver George Pickens to form a potentially dangerous duo alongside CeeDee Lamb.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer and offensive coordinator Klayton Adams are committed to scheming up a dynamic rushing attack—one that, if successful, could open things up for Prescott and the passing game.
With the proper weapons and scheme at his disposal Prescott will once again remind doubters he’s an elite NFL quarterback.
But better than the Philadelphia Eagles QB Hurts who has been in two Super Bowls in the last three years? Better than the Washington Commanders QB Daniels who won Rookie of the Year and captained his upstart team to the NFC title game?
If Dak is really that … that’s about as elite as it gets.
