Aaron Rodgers is one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game. Talent-wise, he might be the best ever, but that is an argument that can go on forever. Another player who is on an upward trajectory is Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. He has had a promising start to his career and is seen as the franchise quarterback for years to come.

Talking about Aaron Rodgers, Jerry Jones said, “I love to watch him & his different mental mechanisms about holding, quickly throwing, seeing the blitz, getting rid of it on the blitz, all those things. But he’s been doing this a long time…We’ll see that. We’ll see it in the future (from Dak).”

So far in his career, injuries have hindered Dak’s progress. However, after returning from a major injury last season, he played quite well, and things are looking up for him.

Dak Prescott has a big season ahead of him

If last season was an indication, then Dak Prescott is about to have an MVP-caliber season this year. He might have lost his WR1 in Amari Cooper, but as seen in the past, he can work with the things that he has.
