There is currently news circulating about the performance of several NFL quarterbacks. A Twitter user recently compared the statistics of five different quarterbacks in their most recent 33-34 games. The quarterbacks in question are Dak Prescott, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, Lamar Jackson, and Justin Herbert.

In recent, Dak Prescott and Zack Martin have restructured their deals, providing the Cowboys with $30 million in cap space. This allows the team to address needs in free agency. Prescott had a challenging 2022 season, with injuries and declining passing efficiency. However, he remains a low-end QB1 with potential for improvement.

The person who tweeted pointed out that Dak Prescott’s stats are pretty solid compared to the others, despite not fitting the usual narrative that ‘he’s not as good’.

He mocked the idea that Dak Prescott is not as good as the other quarterbacks, mentioning “Dak stacks up just fine. ‘LOL’ don’t fit the narrative tho.”

And, this moment was grabbed by fans to defend Dak Prescott against criticism from an ex-NFL QB. They disagreed with the ex-player’s attempt to belittle Prescott and his performance. The fans shut down the criticism and supported Prescott, making their disagreement clear.

One fan pointed out that 14 interceptions per season (on average) may not be considered a large number in the context of a starting quarterback’s performance. They implied that the criticism of Prescott as the most overrated quarterback in the NFL was unfounded.

A different fan acknowledged that 29 turnovers in 33 games are indeed relatively high, without even accounting for any fumbles. They questioned how many quarterbacks with such a high interception ratio have managed to make it to the playoffs.

Lastly, a fan questioned why Orlovsky was criticizing Prescott heavily when other quarterbacks like Josh Allen may have similar or worse stats over the same time period but are often praised. The fan implied that Orlovsky’s criticism seemed unfair or biased against Prescott.

Anthony Pettis’ quote “Attitude determines efforts” upholds a sports-centric ideology that attracted me to this vibrant world of team spirit, enthusiasm, and emotions. More specifically, it was the UFC domain that encouraged my strive as an avid follower. Soon I found myself resonating with another divergent sport- the American football. Ironically, just like UFC, its in-game energy brought out the calmness within me. This aspect, eventually, led me to step into the arena of writing, and I cultivated a love for NFL through words, stories, and experiences. Precisely, I have come to enjoy watching QB of the Bengals, Joe Burrow, take on the field and exhibit his magic. It is his serenity and accuracy during the match that inspires me to narrate the insider scoop on the player's thoughts and feelings. This allows my articles to contrive on three pillars—facts, analysis, and opinions. Throughout my journey, hence, I have covered varied aspects of the matches, from the core sport highlights to the off-court banter. I believe this connection to the NFL game on so many levels has become my reason for generating over 700 articles, hoarding the interest of thousands of readers, and achieving Publishing Rights at EssentiallySports. Away from the NFL enthusiasm, I spend my time glued to the screen watching other sports and gaining beneficial knowledge.
