Dak Prescott is entering his 10th season as the starting\u00a0quarterback\u00a0for the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0– the most valuable sports team in the world.<\/p>\n

As part of the show?<\/p>\n

Over the past decade, Prescott has delivered numerous high points for the\u00a0Cowboys, 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.<\/p>\n

But not in this case.<\/p>\n

Yahoo Sports\u2019 Charles McDonald ranked the top 10 quarterbacks going into the 2025 season and slotted Prescott at No. 7 on the list.<\/p>\n

On the surface, that doesn’t seem too shocking.<\/p>\n

But …<\/p>\n

On this list, Dak comes in ahead of NFC East rival quarterbacks\u00a0Jalen Hurts, Jayden Daniels, and Russell Wilson.<\/p>\n

“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 always gives his offense a chance to be competent no matter the circumstances,” McDonald wrote.<\/p>\n

Dallas strengthened Prescott\u2019s supporting cast this offseason by selecting offensive lineman Tyler Booker in the first round of the 2025\u00a0NFL Draft, and acquiring wide receiver George Pickens to form a potentially dangerous duo alongside\u00a0CeeDee Lamb.<\/p>\n

Head coach Brian Schottenheimer and offensive coordinator Klayton Adams are committed to scheming up a dynamic rushing attack\u2014one that, if successful, could open things up for Prescott and the passing game.<\/p>\n

With the proper weapons and scheme at his disposal Prescott will once again remind doubters he\u2019s an elite\u00a0NFL\u00a0quarterback.<\/p>\n

But better than the\u00a0Philadelphia Eagles\u00a0QB Hurts who has been in two Super Bowls in the last three years? Better than the\u00a0Washington Commanders\u00a0QB Daniels who won Rookie of the Year and captained his upstart team to the NFC title game?<\/p>\n

If Dak is really that … that’s about as elite as it gets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
