Before I have folks on here screaming and throwing a fit about Dak Prescott this is just simply an offseason post to fill folks in on what could possibly happen in 2025.
Dak Prescott, assuming no injuries, should easily surpass all three marks and fairly early in the campaign at that. Especially now that he has a legitimate WR2 in George Pickens to throw to.
Let’s settle ourselves and understand. Yes, Dak has not won in January, but no Cowboys quarterback has since Troy Aikman has won anything important, including the guy he is about to pass for the all-time record in passing yards as a Cowboys quarterback, Tony Romo.
By The Numbers
Romo is currently the franchise leader at 34,183 yards with Aikman second at 32,942.
Prescott sits in third here as well, but only needs 1,506 yards to slip past Aikman. If he surpasses 2,447 yards this fall, he will have the most career passing yards in franchise history.
That mark could fall sometime around the eighth game of this year.
Not only is Prescott probably going to catch him in the yards, he will likely also run down Romo who is the leader in touchdowns also.
Romo currently holds the mark at 248, but Prescott certainly could run him down late in the season as he starts the year with 213.
Needing 36 touchdowns would mean matching his total from 2023. Prescott’s career high for a single season is 37, set in 2021.
Realistic Expectations
Let’s remember that Dak is coming off his second major surgery, and I hope that he plays the entire year and if he does with the addition of Pickens, I think this offense is actually going to be pretty good.
They still have no running game, but teams are going to have to worry about CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. That should at least lift the pressure off of a running back by committee that this team is going to attempt to run back.

It sounds like the culture that Brian Schottenheimer is bringing to the locker room is really working on some of these guys, and he seems like a head coach off the field, but when the lights get bright, he is going to be able to make it work.
Neither Dak nor Brian have any excuse now that Jerry and the front office actually made a move that made them significantly better on the offensive side of the football.
Breaking the yards record and the touchdown record for the Dallas Cowboys will mean nothing for Dak like it meant nothing for Tony Romo, because in the end, neither of them won a dang thing.
You’re right, there should be “no excuses”.
No excuses for the offense!! But there’s still a few reasons to be nervous about the defense!! And the defense was the reason we couldn’t get further than we did in the past!! Especially those seasons we were averaging more than 30 points a game!! But now that I think about it, there can be excuses made for the offense too!! What if Tyler Guyton don’t pan out at LT, what if Terrence Steele keeps playing like crap, what if Tyler Booker don’t turn out to be as good as he was expected to be!? I’m honestly not really worried about Tyler Booker, I actually think he’s gonna be good, but we haven’t seen him play in the NFL yet, so you never know!! But we have seen Tyler Guyton play and it didn’t look too good and the same can be said about Steele since he got paid!! So since the passing game and the running game hinge on how good the offensive line is, it’s possible that things won’t go so well this year because of the offensive line, and in the end gives them an excuse on why things didn’t work out!! So the only way the offense can go without an excuse is if the offensive line is actually good!! And that’s really the only thing to worry about!! So to end all this gabbing, it was said Dak and Brian have no excuses now, but I say that only depends on the offensive line!! And when you say Dak and Brian have no excuses now, I’m assuming your just talking about the offense!? That’s why I said the line is the only problem that could give them an excuse!! But like I said at the beginning of all this, there’s still a few problems to worry about on defense too!!
You can’t say we don’t have a running game!! You haven’t seen how the rookies will play in the NFL yet, so you never know, they both could turn out like Bucky Irving did for the buccaneers!! You will never know until they play a game for us!! And then we have Jevonte Williams who has recently said that he is just now finally feeling like his normal self, so he could be the player that he was drafted to be and show that Denver made a mistake letting him go!! You just never know until they play for us!! I personally think our running game will be good, it mite not be the best in the NFL, but I think it will be at least top half of the NFL good and definitely better than last season!! And that’s just going off of the potential of the RBs on our team!! But like I said, you won’t know until the season starts and we actually see them play!! But I’m confident that these RBs will be better than the ones we had last year!!
