Dak Prescott was removed from the list of best quarterbacks by a notorious Dallas Cowboys hater


Dak Prescott was removed from the list of best quarterbacks by a notorious Dallas Cowboys hater

Another day, another terrible take from Dan Orlovsky.

The world’s biggest Matthew Stafford fan was back on First Take. On Monday’s show, Orlovsky talked about which quarterbacks he considers “elite” and left his favorite signal-caller on the list.

One name he left out again was Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys.

Orlovsky said his criteria for an elite quarterback is that he wins because of him, not because of someone he wins with. He then said there are nine such quarterbacks in the NFL.

His following list was absolutely outrageous.

Orlovsky added that Jalen Hurts and Jordan Love are close but still have a little more to show.

This is ironic since Hurts was successful for several years, while CJ Stroud was on the roster after just one season.

He also says his idea of ​​an elite quarterback is one who leads the team to victory regardless of the problems around them. Then, when Steven A. Smith and Shannon Sharpe asked about Matthew Stafford’s loss in Detroit, it was suddenly forgivable.

To sum it up, Stafford needed a good team to win, but he still wins on his own. Prescott, on the other hand, is more of a supporting role, although he never had a losing record aside from his 2-3 start in 2020 when he suffered a broken ankle.

In his career, Prescott is 73-41, Stafford is 98-107-1. And before we get into Dak’s playoff record, let’s look at what Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert have accomplished. If their records (0-1 for Herbert, 2-4 for Jackson) don’t keep them from elite status, then Prescott’s 2-5 shouldn’t.

As bad as all of that was, the worst name on the list has to be Brock Purdy, the epitome of a quarterback who landed in a perfect spot. With all due respect to Purdy, but he’s playing with a team of All-Pros that went to the Super Bowl with Jimmy Garoppolo.

To say that the 49ers win because of him but the Cowboys don’t win because of Prescott is enough to completely ignore this list.

But the video is still worth watching, especially to see Smith’s reaction.
