Within the 30-plus years that Jerry Jones has owned the Dallas Cowboys, he believes that Dak Prescott stands above the left-overs of the franchise’s remarkable quarterbacks in a single regard.

Past Prescott may no longer have the group accomplishments Troy Aikman had or the person accolades Tony Romo accomplished, Jones believes that the Cowboys’ wave founding quarterback is the most efficient chief of the bunch, praising him following his turnover-free efficiency in Dallas’ 40-0 win over the Giants. 

“Dak is so sound in his psyche, and he relies on his preparation better than anybody I’ve ever been around,” Jones mentioned in an interview with 105.3 The Fan in Dallas on Tuesday. “You get someone that the team will follow, and that’s the key. He’s the best leader that I’ve ever seen at that position. And we’ve been around some good ones. Aikman was outstanding and [Romo] I think was just outstanding. But Dak is quite a leader out there at that position.”

Jones’ lofty honour of Prescott got here following a sequence of dialogue concerning the scrutiny the quarterback confronted over the offseason later he threw a league-high 15 interceptions in 2022 in spite of lacking 5 video games. Prescott vowed that he would reduce his choice of submits in 2023, together with a word that he would end with fewer than 10 interceptions. 

Generation 1 was once anticipated to be a difficult take a look at for Prescott, because the Giants protection intercepted him two times in his lone matchup towards Unutilized York utmost season. On supremacy of that, Sunday’s sport at MetLife Stadium was once performed in consistent hail, making it more straightforward for the ball to slide out of the quarterback’s fingers.

The elements didn’t plague Prescott in any respect on Sunday, however it was once a subject for Giants QB Daniel Jones, who threw two interceptions and fumbled two times. General, the Giants had 5 overall fumbles (dropping one) moment the Cowboys fumbled the ball simply as soon as, which they recovered. 

The submit margin was once for sure a profusion issue within the Cowboys’ win, permitting Prescott to trade in with a lighter load as he finished 13 of 24 passes for 143 yards. 

Sunday’s sport additionally marked the debut of head educator Mike McCarthy calling offensive performs. Jones gave McCarthy’s play-calling an “A” because the Cowboys had 4 scoring drives in Sunday’s sport. 

“It was unbelievable,” Jones mentioned of Sunday’s win. “I didn’t need a plane to get home. I was flying high.”

This Sunday, the Cowboys anticipated to stand a quarterback McCarthy coached for years and person who has tortured the franchise on various events. However in lieu, Dallas would be the first group to get a shot on the Jets following Aaron Rodgers’ Achilles trauma. 

Despite the fact that it’ll construct for an more straightforward sport for Dallas, Jones mentioned Rodgers’ trauma continues to be scary. 

“I was sick for everybody,” Jones mentioned. “It just reminded me how fragile a season can be. [Rodgers] has taken a toll on us … given us a couple of heartbreaks.”

Now, Jones and the Cowboys will most probably travel up towards Zach Wilson of their house opener. Past the Jets offense took a significant trifle away., their protection performed at an elite stage on Monday, forcing Josh Allen to show the ball over 4 occasions. 

So Prescott will face some other difficult problem to play games a blank sport.
