Cowboys' Dak Prescott Predicted To Be Top-10 QB In NFL's Top 100 Players

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott divides opinion, unlike any other player in football, as his regular-season play does not consistently translate to the playoffs.

However, while many criticize Dak for his playoff failures (2-5), that is fair play. Overall, the general consensus is that he is a top-10-ish quarterback when at his best.

Let's not forget that he finished second in MVP voting in 2023, before last year's "blow it up" season began. However, for some, it seems like it's only downhill for Dak, who will be 32 years old when the season starts.

Still, Prescott, as he enters 2025, hasn't lost all fans, with CBS Sports' Pete Prisco naming his top 100 NFL players, and he has Dak at No. 90, down from 49 last year.

"A year after leading the league with 36 touchdown passes, Prescott was limited to eight games because of injury," Prisco writes. "Even before the injury, he wasn't as sharp as the year before with just 11 touchdown passes and eight picks. But I think he's closer to the 2023 Prescott again."

Dak as a top 100 player isn't exactly newsworthy, but there is a little nugget of information in this list that will make the Prescott haters a little agitated.

For some, Dak isn't a top-10 or even top-15 quarterback in football despite his regular-season numbers, but a glance at Prisco's top 100 list shows that there are only 11 quarterbacks on the list.

And Prescott is No. 10, above Jordan Love.

So even after a poor season, which was then ended due to injury, Prescott, at least in Prisco's eyes, is still a top-10 quarterback entering the 2025 season.

Yes, we get it, the list is subjective, but this will likely give the haters more ammunition to go after Prescott.

Not that he cares.
