Dak Prescott is entering the 2025 NFL season with a chip on his shoulder and the most dynamic offense he’s ever had.
After years of postseason heartbreak, the Dallas Cowboys are reloaded, and Prescott is poised to deliver an MVP-caliber campaign.
With a powerful new supporting cast, fresh leadership from the coaching staff, and a fully retooled offensive line, the stars are aligning for Dak to dominate in 2025.
Here’s why this is his year, plus projected stats that put him squarely in MVP territory.
Modernized Offense Built Around Dak’s Strengths
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer and offensive coordinator Klayton Adams are engineering an offense tailored to Prescott’s strengths — timing, accuracy, and improvisation.
Expect more play-action, motion, and vertical routes to stretch the defenses and create big-play opportunities.
This is no longer the conservative Cowboys of old. It’s an offense built for MVP numbers.
George Pickens Adds Firepower Across from CeeDee Lamb
The Cowboys’ biggest offseason splash was trading for former Steelers wide receiver George Pickens, a contested-catch machine and deep threat who perfectly complements All-Pro CeeDee Lamb.

With Jake Ferguson emerging at tight end and Jalen Tolbert progressing as the third wide receiver, Prescott has more quality weapons than at any point in his career.
Revamped Offensive Line Anchored by Young Stars
A Cowboys legend — Zack Martin — retired, signaling a new era in the trenches. But the replacements are ready.
- Tyler Guyton, the Cowboys’ 2024 first-round pick, should take a step forward this season at left tackle. The former Oklahoma product brings elite athleticism and a nasty streak in pass protection.
- Tyler Booker, the rookie right guard from Alabama, takes over for Martin and brings NFL-ready strength and discipline.

Alongside Tyler Smith, Terence Steele, and center Cooper Beebe, Dallas still fields one of the NFC’s best young offensive lines, giving Prescott the pocket time he needs to work.
Dak Prescott 2025 MVP Stat Projections
If Prescott plays all 17 games and this offense clicks as expected, here’s what his final stat line could look like:
- Passing Yards: 4,950
- Passing Touchdowns: 43
- Interceptions: 6
- Completion Percentage: 70.3%
- Passer Rating: 111.5
- Rushing Yards: 340
- Rushing TDs: 5
With these numbers and a 12+ win season, Dak would be a top MVP candidate — and likely the favorite if the Cowboys win the NFC East.
Legacy Year for #4
This is Dak Prescott’s defining season. He has the weapons. He has the coaches. He has the offensive line.
Now, it’s about execution and leadership. If Prescott delivers, he won’t be an MVP — he’ll rewrite his legacy in Dallas.
Don’t sleep on Dak in 2025. This is the most dangerous version of the Cowboys QB we’ve seen — and it’s MVP season in Dallas.
I seem to have read this same story before. Like every year.
You will definitely read this again next year. Dak has consistently delivered MVP-caliber performances every season, except for those limited by injury.
Cody ,
Dak has finished 2nd in mvp voting in 2023 that’s the closest he has come to a mvp in a down offensive year …. I love the cowboys but Dak will get nowhere near these numbers . And god forbid he plays like he did last year 3-5 before he got hurt ….. he was 22nd in qbr and 21st in qb rating …. 60 million reasons and counting
You’re absolutely right!
He has however showcased MVP-caliber performances throughout his career, but it was 2023 that truly brought him into the spotlight. Finishing in second place was great, but let’s be honest—it should have been a first-place victory!
This obsession with these “MVP” and other self-aggrandizing individual awards by some of the authors here may be great for hyping up some of the newer fan base, but IMO, for long time Cowboy fans it’s just conjecture.
I could not care less if QB1 wins this award if he can’t go deep into the post season, which is unfortunately his usual modus operandi pretty much every year. Who cares about “his legacy” if he can’t lead the TEAM to meaningful wins.
How ridiculous. No One outside of Dallas is picking Dallas to even make it to the playoffs. Dak is back? That’s more of the same, he is now less a threat to run than ever, and this is still the Dak who dependably collapses in Big Games. Add to that, the GM is still Jerry Jones who is the only common factor is 30 years of failure. PPF gives Cowboys a C+ to show how much they think of the new head coach. All in all, the forecast is for Dak to again not make it through the season and for the team to have fewer wins than last season. Every year local sports writers are desperate to hype the Cowboys, I get it but no one is buying it.
