Philadelphia Eagles’ fans probably won’t like this opinion. Part of the Dallas Cowboys’ fanbase will grab their torches and pitchforks for even suggesting this upbeat take on Dak Prescott.
In either case, here it goes.
The 2016 NFL Draft changed the complexion of the NFC East. The initial tug of war for the top quarterback claim in the division was with that year’s number two overall pick, Carson Wentz and Prescott. We all know how that ended.
It was the epitome of the tortoise and the hare.
Wentz started the blocks quickly but stumbled as Prescott skipped past him for the crown.
Now, another Eagles quarterback is attempting to overthrow Dak’s claim. No pun intended.
Last season, Jalen Hurts was on fire. He led his team to a Super Bowl appearance and was an MVP candidate.
The top consensus Quarterback Patrick Mahomes ultimately bested him on both fronts.
Even still, most media pundits and critics would argue that Hurts is the top quarterback in the division by a large margin.
While I won’t sing Dak’s praises and I’ve wrote my fair share of Dak criticism, I’m also not ready to anoint Jalen after one really good season.
Dak Prescott owns his NFC East opponents and that includes Hurts
People will have you believe that the NFC East has been a less-than-impressive division controlled by the seven-year quarterback.
Twenty-seven wins and seven losses.
When healthy, Prescott has been hard to beat within the division.
In addition to Wentz, Eli Manning (albeit at the back end of his career) was on the wrong end of those wins that Dak racked up.
Kirk Cousins wasn’t much better with his 0-4 as Washington’s signal caller when he went head-to-head versus Prescott.
That’s all fine and dandy, but this is about Prescott and Hurts.
In the 2020 and 2021 seasons, both quarterbacks grabbed one win in the games they participated in.
Last season, their teams went 1-1 versus each other, but there were no head-to-head matchups because of injuries.
The numbers were closer than you would have guessed in the last five regular games last season.

The one item I like to use as a point of distinction is the eye test against each other’s defenses.
Yes, Hurts pulled out a win at their place early in the season, but it wasn’t his best individual performance.
He went 15-25 for 155 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 65.6 QBR.
When Dak played the Eagles at AT&T Stadium, he reminded everyone how good he can be under pressure.
The 347 passing yards and 3 touchdowns with an 86.2 QBR were beautiful.
To dethrone the king of a division, you have to do it convincingly
In the fight world, to take a champ’s belt, you have to either knock them out or win with no doubt left to the viewers.
For Hurts, yes, he has made it to a Super Bowl (and lost it), but is that enough for him to supplant Dak as the top quarterback in the NFC East?
I think not.
I have to give some credence to consistency. Yes, leading the league in turnovers while missing five games will leave a mark.
It was not pretty from a turnover standpoint for Dak last year. It was darn right ugly.
However, the sample size of seven seasons compared to only two seasons must stand for something.
Jalen Hurts 2022 alleged MVP-ish season was on par with Dak Prescott's rookie season.
Before anybody starts crying about rushing being the difference, don't give **rugby team** football credit to one person.

Give kids a toy seven years ago; there’s a high chance they’ll lose interest. A new remote control car with updated features will excite them. That is what is happening.
Jalen is Dak 2.0. Minus the Super Bowl appearance, the Cowboys quarterback has done everything that Hurts has done.
I have been as critical of number 4 as anyone else, but I also know the journey of carrying an albatross of a contract around your neck is only just beginning for the former Heisman runner-up.
I intend to let this play out.
This may be the beginning of Jalen and drop-off for Dak. If so, I will gladly admit I was wrong. I am not ready to concede yet, and Prescott isn’t offering his throne yet, either.
daks his daddy
Has he beaten Dak yet head to head?
Adam H Ipnosi Thank You
Adam H Ipnosi Dak led the league in INT after playing 12 games. Meanwhile jalen hurts was headed to the SB
Itsonlyone Shaab answer my question
Itsonlyone Shaab he’s also lead the league in least amount of interceptions before his thumb injury. Who knew thumb strength is that important lol
Brent Roland I’m
not defending Dak anymore, he had a chance to show us what he’s about in 22 and blew it. Guess 10 years before change is the magic number
Itsonlyone Shaab I’m with Dez Bryant on this season. He’s got everything he needs to make it happen this year. If he doesn’t make the Super Bowl this year I’ll concede
Brent Roland bro Dak has had the best of everything top offensive line top 3 defense 2 bad ass RB and WR still can’t make it happen. At what point do you wash your hands with him? People talk about Zekes decline but over look daks because he’s a good guy. That’s BS Jerry needs to give him his walking papers. I ain’t buying it. Mahomes has been to the SB 3 times and won 2 in one he was still a rookie. Jalen hurts SB under his rookie contract SB, burrow SB rookie contract coming off a torn acl.
Adam H Ipnosi nope
Adam H Ipnosi Did Dak beat Hurts last year?
Itsonlyone Shaab come on bro last year his number 2 wr was Noah brown and the defense had lost top 2 of the 3 starting corners. Dak is not Mahomes by any means but no one is. Daks better than Flacco and Flacco won a superbowl. Let him ride out this year and if not a Super Bowl appearance i think you blow up the team for draft picks and retool
Itsonlyone Shaab when did we have the third ranked defense? When has it played like the third ranked defense in the playoffs. I am tired of people just flat out lying to prove a point. Dak hasn’t played well in the team’s last game of the year. However, the defense got ran on yet again. The oline got manhandled yet again. Zeke had been playing on one leg for two years now by the end of the season god bless his soul. Wide receivers we are ended last season with Lamb, Gallup on one leg, Noah the body catcher Brown and Schultz on one leg and TY Hilton who they wouldn’t play over Brown because he can’t block. Even at the end of the year before Cooper wasn’t the same after he had COVID and TP’s foot was jacked going into the playoffs. I am just hoping that for one year we can have all hands on deck and peaking in the playoffs instead of week freaking 10.
Brent Roland that team has been going to the super bowl every season. It’s all hype and entertainment for the cowboy fans cause I ain’t buying it one bit. And I ain’t buying it also that Dak is better than flacco. That’s absurd. Flacco has super bowl ring Dak ain’t got nothing but garbage stats
Adam H Ipnosi doesn’t matter especially since he’s won a conference championship and been to a super bowl. Man’s got bragging rights
Kevin Gibb don’t matter . Did dak with the conference championship and make it to the Super Bowl in the last 7 years he’s been in the league ? No? Okay sit down and shut up
Itsonlyone Shaab moron alert
Kevin Gibb he did the year before asshat. They didn’t play each other last year. Hurts beat rush.
Adam H Ipnosi as a Dallas fan we have to be real. Have you ever seen Dak take command of a game the way Jalen did in the Super Bowl? That was Patrick Mahomes! His defense was having a meltdown, the run game disappeared minus him, and the pressure was as high as it could be and he played on par with Mahomes… I don’t know if Dak played on par with Jimmy G and freaking Purdy last time we saw him.
Channah Polis read my reply below to Kas Franco. My question was rhetorical. You sound like a Dallas fan when you react without thinking. 😉
Kevin Gibb you may want to reread your comment…never did you mention hurts only beating our backup. You’re just a typical dumb AF douchy ass eagles fan. Just pissed because Dallas owns ya. Record shows it head to head. Eagles schedule was easy AF last year. It will be different this season I’m sure.
Channah Polis Hurts was in his first year as a starter. Remind me again about last year where Dak barely won against Minshew. And a lot of Dallas fans think Rush is better than Mr. Interception Prescott. 😉
Kevin Gibb just reading your dumb ass comment saying Dak played Minshew idiot. But not mentioning how hurts played rush. You’re dumb old man
Channah Polis ummm, I absolutely mentioned Rush.
Channah Polis Hurts was in his first year as a starter. Remind me again about last year where Dak barely won against Minshew. And a lot of Dallas fans think Rush is better than Mr. Interception Prescott. 😉
Kevin Gibb tell me you don’t know football. We’ll see how hurts does with a much harder schedule this season and I’m sure they won’t be as lucky with injuries. Dak owns hurts and the eagles. Eagles only beat shitty ass teams last year. Dallas being one with a backup. Rush never threw over 200 yards and never had more than what ….20 points? Dak comes back and they all of a sudden have the highest scoring offense. Y’all lost and still only have one ring. Eagles have a LONG way to go to catch up. Y’all lost two coordinators and a few key players. Good luck.
Channah Polis and when we beat everybody then y’all gon piss y’all’s selves cause you can’t come out with another excuse for us winning
Channah Polis y’all sound dumb ash
Channah Polis umm, you got rid of your OC who made your offense score. Owns Hurts? Serious wishful thinking. You are hilarious.
Adam H Ipnosi means absolutely NOTHING
Adam H Ipnosi QB’s play against each other? Weird. Thought they played the defense. I learn something new every day.
Channah Polis you mean like the almost identical schedule as the cowboys last year? That schedule? Lol
Channah Polis the cowboys had an almost identical schedule to the eagles. You so realize we’re in the same division. Lol. Moron cowboys fans
Ray Mansfield can someone tell her to pass that whatever she’s smoking
Ray Mansfield almost is the key word. As well as being the healthiest team all season. I’d say eagles lucked out. Two easy ass games to the Super Bowl. Won’t happen again. Sorry yo. You’ll be pissed as usual about your eeeeegs next season.
Channah Polis you do realize we beat the same team that your shitty qb lost to, to go to the Super Bowl right? durrrrrr
Ray Mansfield almost ya idiot. Dallas played both superbowl teams and beat both. One being bengals. Eagles didn’t play either one of those teams. Also add on eagles luck with injuries and being the healthiest team all year I’d say they lucked the fuck out ya dumb ass dude that don’t know shit. I’m a girl and I obviously know more. Lost two coordinators and key players. Good luck little man.
Channah Polis nah. We just made the superbowl and won one in the last 5 years. You don’t luckout having the best record in the nfl and making the Super Bowl. Good luck with another 25 years of mediocrity….little girl.
Channah Polis what’s taking y’all so long to get to the nfc championship game? A quarter century aahahahahahaha!!!
Ray Mansfield it’s been long enough for the shitty ass eagles to catch up to your daddy! Look at eagles record against Dallas . Won’t be easy this season little pee on.
Channah Polis is it exciting? Seeing an avg of one playoff win every 6 years? That does it for ya? Lol. Beat it, clam
Channah Polis you mean the rings from 3 decades ago…wE DeM bOyS
Ray Mansfield is that why she’s being all hostile because of her dusty trophies ?
Channah Polis cool comeback. You seem angry. Aunt Flo in town?
Kas Franco hurts can’t cut it against a good team and qb playing. Reason they lost. Finally played a good qb
QC Dri correct, I salute you for recognizing real!
Channah Polis lady shut up . He outplayed pat mahomes even in the Super Bowl . Go lay down and take a nap .
Channah Polis how many championship appearance in the last 3 decades? Must’ve been riveting football lol. Non existent in the playoff. You guys celebrate regular season wins like they’re SBs now. What a clown. Go cry to your shitty fan base
Channa Banana…really? Lol. Dork
Ray Mansfield talk about a paragraph. You’re upset clearly. Go cry by your single lonely self. Eagles have had plenty of time to catch up and just can’t do it.
Channah Polis “YoU dOn’T hAvE aNy fRiEndS.” Lol. Grow up banana
Ray Mansfield it’s pretty obvious you’re just lonely and angry. Too bad eagles will never catch up
Kas Franco you’re a dumb b yo. Go away and quit trolling Dallas pages! We live in your mind all the time. Just salty Dallas owns y’all.
Channah Polis hey do me a favor. Let me know when your team gets to the superbowl or at least the nfc championship THIS CENTURY? Ok banana? Your team is trash.
Ray Mansfield ok moron. Let me know when eagles land even one more ring. Go be lonely and cry alone
Ray Mansfield why are you on a Dallas page anyhow? Oh yah. Just a douchy eagles fan.
Channah Polis always we got 5. Stop were comparing hurts to Prescott. Btw, Nobody remembers the last time you made it to a conference game
27 years…..sssssshhhhhh it’s ok.
Channah Polis again… comparing qbs. Take your bull somewhere else.
Stephen DeAngelo no one remembers conference games…period! Only Super Bowl rings! No one cares who loses the Super Bowl.
Stephen DeAngelo last time I checked this is a Dallas page. Take YOUR ass elsewhere.
Stephen DeAngelo I commented on a comment about hurts never beating Dak ya jackass. Go away
Channah Polis you’re right but I don’t brag about it. Read the article. Its well written, you may learn a few things about humility..
Kas Franco I watch most all games and forget about who wins. The only end all be all are the rings. Bottom line
Stephen DeAngelo I don’t back the fuck down when little cock men call me names asshole!
Channah Polis no you instantly said we have 5 like a typical bootlicker. It’s ok sha nah nah dis gun be dem bois year. Echo echo echo echo
Channah Polis do you kiss your kids with that mouth?
Stephen DeAngelo can’t take it…don’t dish it
Channah Polis first off, pretty evident I touched a nerve… If you don’t like being called a bootlicker, don’t be one. 2nd you’re talking like a 12 year old. 3rd bring something more to the conversation than the size of my cock… Obvious it’s on your mind….
Stephen DeAngelo talking about all the dudes in this thread. Go away…y’all are just a bunch of douchy ass eagles fans. The worst fans ever and everyone knows it.
Channah Polis I complimented the article, thought it was well written, called you out on instantly defending by saying you have 5. (Which has zero to do with the article) You didn’t like it so you freak out… Yeah that’s well handled. Try a lil humility, it might serve you well instead of being so confrontational…. And making yourself look a little “off the rails”
Stephen DeAngelo when someone brings up how long it’s been, whatcha think people will say back? Good god man.
Channah Polis you are all over the place… Take your meds. I’m done
Unpopular opinion amongst my fanbase. Respect Dallas….The organization has enough experience to beat any team in the league on any given Sunday. Sure….my team looks good, but I will ALWAYS approach Dallas games with some trepidation and respect for the team. I know it’s not reciprocal, that’s ok. I’ve been around long enuff to know underestimated games are ours to lose. 2nd unpopular opinion, is I only want to play against a completely healthy Dallas team, and with an intact team ourselves. That, to me, is the TRUE test of our legendary team’s rivalry. So….from this Eagles fan to y’all in Dallas, see ya’s this season and may the best team win.
Channah Polis I’m on here because is shows up on my satire pages. Because your team is a joke.
Ray Mansfield get back to me when they get another ring.
Channah Polis get back to me when you win this millennia. 21st century started over 25 years ago and your shitty team hasn’t even smelled an nfc championship, let alone a superbowl. Lol. wE dEm BoYs
Channah Polis yep. GREEN with ENVY
QC Dri Hurts fumbled in the SB and cost the game wht are you talking about
M.D. Curtis right so let’s discount everything else he did plus the points he put up despite the fact that his Defense completely folded. Dak’s defense is averaging giving up about 10 points a game in the playoffs minus the points off his turnovers. He threw not one.. but 2 ridiculous ints, and in 2 attempts against the 9ers he played like.. you. That’s what I’m talking about.
QC Dri How many points they lost by 3 Fumble 6 cost the game case closed
M.D. Curtis how many points did he have to score? And what game were they in again? And who is the unquestioned leader of that team? There’s levels sir. You’re now even making sense! Lmao. Yes he had a turnover.. one. Now again compare that to Dak! Who wasn’t expected to do half of that plus had 2 turnovers and his defense still held the team to minimal points. This isn’t rocket science
QC Dri Dak has no where near the weapons on offense like hurts has Now u got to give me that!!
M.D. Curtis when Dak did he didn’t do anything with them. Pollard, Schultz, CeeDee, Gallup, Wilson, and Cooper. That’s a squad. And had a defense that led the league in takeaways and he looked terrible against the 9ers. Trust me, I don’t like it. I’m hoping he takes the next step. But you’re correct. Last year Hurts had much better weapons. But he did what you expect with them.
It won’t be as long as they have Dak!
Nope
That ain’t no accomplishment why should it even be a comparison. Trash Prescott is a shitty QB
Yes.
He hasn’t surpassed Dak’s interception numbers.
Will Robert ,NO, WILL, DAK IS THE GOAT’ OF INTERCEPTIONS, WILL, THE DALLAS COWBOYS ARE THE JOKE’ OF THE N.F.L., AND THE MOST HATRED TEAM IN THE N
F.L., BECAUSE OF THE WICKED, DEVLISH OWNER, OF JERRY JONES,HE IS THE MAIN “CRAZY ONE,, SINCE WHEN HE FIRED COACH TOM LANDRY AND COACH JIMMY JOHNSON,NOW THEY ARE UNDER AN “EVIL’ CURSE’TO LOSE THE “BIG GAMES
Joe Gonzalez Jr. Typing things in all caps does not make them true.
Brent Roland 3700 yards 22 passing TDs with only 6 picks is remarkable for a guy scared to throw a football
Will Robert he’s never surpasses Daniel jones td pass number either hahaha
Fuck no dak owns Philly
Yeap and all it took was 3 years. Dak is wack
Great article, I love your perspective. Personally, Dak does not have the weapons that Jalen has. Philly has done a good job assembling a squad for him. I wish Dallas would do the same.
No!!! Not even close
Joseph Durant I assume you’re sobbing your statement while curled up in the corner, pitifully waving you little “DC4L” flag. Knowing Dak is 2nd rate and miles behind Hurts
Daniel Pettie man are you serious????????? Hurts is not on Dak level,!! Credit Philly for giving him the best o line receivers defense tight end .. Jerry never did that for Dak!! All Dak gets is players nobody else wants
Joseph Durant Dak sucks. What are you watching? He loses the big game, even with great receivers.
Daniel Pettie man I’m done with you… Which one of his great receivers going to the Hall of Fame,,?? Is it Michael Gallup? Or maybe it’s Noah Brown man smh
Dak is a Bum
Yes
Dak can’t tie jalens shoes
If there was a new team and they had to take Prescott or Hurts, who are they taking? Probably not even close. Hurts is easily the choice.
Ed Wisner exactly!
Ed Wisner I mean he is younger so yeah but neither QB would be in my top 5.
Patrick Bowhay if he was 5 years younger and stank….no one would take Hurts over Prescott.
Ed Wisner I mean if you base if solely off of last season sure…
Hurts will lead his team to aSuper Bowl win before Prescott ever plays in one, if he ever does
Everybody has already surpassed Dak. Just cause Jerry paid him elite money doesn’t make him a quality QB. he’s mid pack at best
Daniel Pettie I mean we’ve seen at his best he’s top 10 problem is he’s inconsistent asf and doesn’t perform to that on a regular basis
Daniel Pettie okaaay. Dak has as many playoff wins at Watson, Jackson, and Murray combined and gets paid less than them.
David Canales yeah, and you mean all 3 qbs playoff wins together! Jackson may get his 2nd playoff win this year? Ravens drafted a receiver in the 1st round for the 3rd time in 5 years.
Brian Crawford yeah combined. We’ll see on Jackson.
David Canales I mean… by your own metric dak has been surpassed by hurts- who has as many playoff wins in one playoff run as dak has had in 6 years…
Mike Wlodarczyk yeah you are right. Hell even Mark Sanchez had three playoff wins. Cowboys are getting wins and making it to the playoffs. Seems to many only metric is playoff wins… yet you have people like Dan Marino in the HOF.
Daniel Pettie agreed , he,s just hype, ,
David Canales dak has only 2 playoff wins in his career. So wtf you talking about
Joe E Bagadonuts maybe re-read what I said? Jackson and Watson have two total playoff wins combined and Murray has no playoff wins. Jackson, Watson, and Murray combined have as many playoff wins as Dak and they get paid more than Dak.
Daniel Pettie from DAWGPOUND ERNIE – DANIEL you nailed it !!!!
David Canales that’s cause he sucks more than them.
He may or may not be as talented as Dak, but he doesn’t make mistakes, so yes.
Dale Thompson Did hurts not fumble in the SB? And it was a fumble for 6, so yes he makes mistakes And they lost SB by 3
M.D. Curtis that was a big one, but a very rare one.
Of course he’s surpassed dak. He already got his team to the Superbowl.
Terrance Albert he didn’t do anything alone it’s is a team sport period
Terrance Albert by having the easiest path to the Super Bowl in history lol
Shannon Berry still better than dak, that much is obvious!
Brent Roland still better than dak!
Terrance Albert i think you have to beat someone in order to be better ha
Brent Roland not at all! what has dak accomplished? nothing!
Brent Roland thats the eagles fault the NFC is so weak? no , only ONE team can give the eagles a run for their money right now and its the niners
Terrance Albert amen!
Terrance Albert he was an mvp candidate and OROY. Jalens 3rd season is slightly worse than daks first season. Jalen has never beat dak. Dak is the Walter Payton man of the year and a respected member/leader of the nfl player association. Daks also the record holder for least amount of interceptions from a rookie and lowest interception percentage. So that nothing statement you made just proves you don’t know shit about shit!
Brent Roland you talk about daks rookie year which I agree was great but he has regressed in the year since. He’s had tons of weapons around him with a top 5 o line and still can’t win a playoff game. He’s a choke artist
Brent Roland yeah I don’t know shit about shit but I’ve been a cowboys fan longer than you’ve been alive little man!
Terrance Albert great another one. using team stat, to determine an individual performance..
Terrance Albert on Daks good days not better
Brent Roland Eagles will AT LEAST get to the NFC Championship game this coming year…Hurts has more between the ears than Dak and Daks meathead head coach. easy or tough..Eagles made it to the big dance, while Niners and Cowgirls bitched on their sofas!!
Brent Roland whenever the eagles do something good the excuses roll in from other fans its great
Austun Gross you spelled jalen hurts wrong lol
Brent Roland Yep,same division as the cowgirls
Brent Roland Thanks,never been one of their fans,I call the OK state team the same thing
Terrance Albert but has never beat him head to head
Terrance Albert yeah right. That top 5 oline was 28th in pass blocking win rate last year. Outside of lamb and pollard, who was these weapons you speak of last year? Im guessing you must be talking about last year, since you said regressed? Because in 2021 dak had 37tds and 10 ints with the #1 offense. If thats regressed, I’ll take it.
Brent Roland Cowboys had the same path basically. They didn’t get it done and the Eagles did. That’s a basic fact. Unfortunately the Qb gets the blame or the credit. At this moment Hurts is better than Dak. Which team is better this year remains to be seen.
Shannon Berry right… but at what position exactly do you think the eagles were remarkably better than the cowboys? O lines are comparable, cowboys had a better top pair of rbs, eagles have a bit of an edge at WR1 and WR2 but it isn’t like dak is throwing to practice arms (I mean, he sure as hell threw to the other team a lot)
For sure but on a good day he is better.
Mike Nagy i can appreciate this comment and don’t have much of an argument other than the cowboys played the goat in the first round and then lost there most dynamic player in tony pollard. While the eagles played the trash giants and the niners with no qb. No one will ever know for sure but I’d prefer to play the giants and a qb who couldn’t use his arm niners team than basically every other playoff teams route to the superbowl
Brent Roland the Bucs stunk last year and only made the playoffs because someone had to from their division. The Niners were healthy and arrogant going into the game and got smacked. Purdy was the hottest Qb in football ( according to Niners fans) Cowboys – Eagles would have been a much better game. Eagles and Cowboys were both really good last year. Gotta give credit where it’s due. Wish both Hurts and Dak were healthy to play each other and just get it over with.
Mike Nagy finally someone that can have a real debate with. Bucs stunk but it’s still Tom Brady and the cowboys proved Purdy wasn’t all that. It was cmc that pushed them over the cowboys. I think everyone wanted an eagles and cowboys nfc ship
Brent Roland I agree. Would have been good tv. They were the 2 best teams in the NFC . Losing Pollard hurt also. Should be a good season. Nfc East is going to be a tough division again
Brian Crawford and yet they couldn’t score 20 points to beat Brady. Why was that? How many games did he win under duress? Or were most of those yards and tds garbage yards and garbage ts when they had already lost?
Brent Roland it was daks clock mismanagement and boneheaded plays like every year that did the cowboys in.
Brian Crawford how about one of the best tight ends in the game or did you already forget about him? Don’t come at me about Prescott being a good quarterback. Constantly misreads defenses and is always goaded into throwing interceptions at crucial moments. What about his severe clock mismanagement in the miners game? Plainly put he doesn’t have the IQ to be an elite QB and let’s not forget his overthrows to RBS in the flat. Need I go on?
Gary Wagner Prescott is not a good QB plain and simple. I’ve been a cowboys fan since 1974 and I’m telling u they will never win the Superbowl with Prescott as QB.
Terrance Albert I didn’t say he was elite and neither is hurtz
Brent Roland Cowgirls is right up there with Dem Boyz!
Mike Wlodarczyk eagles had a wayyyy better o line that wasn’t in constant rotation due to injuries. Having two, not one, solid receiver is a huge advantage. For Dak to lead the highest scoring offense after coming back from injuring shows if he even had a solid o line and one more badass receiver, they would have done better. The fact he did what he did with what he had says a lot! He scored more than any other qb when he came back. 15 ints, but a shit ton of tds.
Brent Roland Dak had the same schedule and couldn’t get past the divisional round so it’s more to it than what you’re saying.
James Perkins eagles played a crap giants team and niners team with a qb who couldn’t use his arm so miss me with that shit
Terrance Albert and choked.
Chase Blood Dallas was consistently ranked by pff in the top 10 until Terrence Steele went down in week 14 an fell back to the middle tiers after that. Yes, Philly has a better o line… but to suggest that the only reason hurts looks to have surpassed dak is because he has a better team is absurd.
Mike Wlodarczyk no absurd at all. Sorry
Terrance Albert he has never beat Dak& he won’t this season ether
Shannon Berry so 10 rushing TDs 2 seasons straight isn’t alone idk what is lol. He has more playoff wins than Dak has. He’s carried the team multiple times. Dak is the reason why Dallas loses the way that they do. Remember the spike play not waiting for the official to touch the ball…who muffed that play? Dak did. Most of Dak’s stats come from trailing and getting a lot of garbage time passing yards. Not to mention can’t play when the game actually matters or means something.
Kevin Parfitt one person dosnt carry a TEAM it’s a team sport. People need to get there is no I in TEAM!!!!
Shannon Berry lol do you even watch sports? Here’s an example, the sixers first game against Boston. If they didn’t score 45 sixers weren’t winning, he carried the team.
Kevin Parfitt there a lot better than either one of them for sure
Shannon Berry lol what? That made no sense. And again even though it is a team sport, certain players can most certainly carry the team.
Shannon Berry so you admit the Eagles were a better team than the cowboys last season?
Tim Jones they had better coaching for sure.
Shannon Berry it’s a team sport! what has dak done in what 6 seasons? nothing Jalen on his 3rd season and 2nd as a starter already took his team to the super bowl! enough said!
Brent Roland same schedule as the cowturds stop crying!
Johnny Gibson I’m pretty sure he will and I’m a cowboys fan!
Rod Fontanez why don’t you people get it, the team got to the Super Bowl,Jalen didn’t so shit by himself
Shannon Berry hating Jalen’s better than all 20 of your qb’s! It wouldn’t have happened without him but what do you know your a whiners fan?!
Rod Fontanez he is good did t say that but not top notch. I’m not a hater just a realist. No whiners fan or whatever dumb shit you said just stating the facts. You can talk smack all you want but dosnt bother me in the least
Rod Fontanez no in denial at all, just stating the facts.
Shannon Berry but little Dakota does it on his own though?
Shannon Berry what’s a good day for Dak? Only 1 int?
Channah Polis yea we were hoping for the nfc playoffs but little Dakota has a hard time winning in the playoffs. Maybe this year if he doesn’t get hurt for the third year in the roll.
Mike Wlodarczyk the o-line is not comparable. 4 years ago they were. You had our retired Peters last year. Better two RBs? How? Zeke is a money pit and pollard is injury prone. Defense is light years away as well.
Channah Polis and so did Jameison Winston. Shit ton of TDS and INT. Great. You have a Winston.
Mike Wlodarczyk Oline is way better in Philly. You guys used out retired tackle Jason peters to help. Hurts elevates his team. Dak lowers his team. Horrible leader.
Shannon Berry ummm there is definitely evidence of a player carrying a team but ok.
Shannon Berry then why don’t Dallas make it to the SB? They have had “better” teams in the past. Especially when you had Cooper?
Brent Roland that is so dumb. You know nothing. The strength of schedule when it comes out and how it actually plays out is two different things.
Mike Nagy at least Dak didn’t fumble away a Superbowl…. And before you start the they came back from it, the difference at the end of the day was, even if they’d just punted, was 3 points. He fumbled away 6 points which is twice what they lost by.
Ryan Jordan not makig, not winning it, same thing. No one remembers the runner up. Ha
Brent Roland Dak had the same path
Channah Polis he also lead the league in ints
Johnny Gibson Dak has never been to a SB either
Robbie McClure I predict that Dak will NEVER have a fumble or interception in a Superbowl. He also won’t complete a pass.
Shannon Berry but there’s ba Me in TEAM
Shannon Berry yes but without a quarterback you ain’t getting to no Super Bowl or winning one.
Dave Monachello I predict Hurts gets exposed trying to run the ball and gets injured, and won’t be half what he was last year… they rarely do. Watch and see.
Austen Reid it takes 21 more. 11 on each side of the ball
Shannon Berry look at the jets great special teams, great defense and great offense, but they didn’t have quarterback. You can’t win without a quarterback
Brent Roland Dak had a top defense and threw the ball away to the 49er’s TWICE. Dak would have failed that schedule and I respect Dak.
Shannon Berry that’s not true all the time because quarterbacks can cost or help you win games. Quarterbacks are the only position that can cost a head their job. To me I do eye test who looks in control in the offense and makes great decisions. Dak hasn’t look good since his rookie season. Do you know that before last year he never won a game if the cowboys didn’t run for over a 100 yards. That is not good.
Austen Reid agree to disagree. QBs aren’t the only players on the team
Shannon Berry yes, but they are the most important positions on the field. Like I said earlier you are not winning a Super Bowl without a quarterback.
Austen Reid not the most important a key piece agree but by far not the only
Shannon Berry put it this way elite make other players better like a brady or a mahomes. And average quarterbacks like dak, Cousins need other players to make them better
Austen Reid helps for sure, all these comments are about Dak and Jalen Hurts . Neither are in the elite catagory
Shannon Berry I don’t think hurts is yet, but I love his poised and decision making. If he keeps on this path and improving he will be elite. Dak plays great in the division and really bad teams and struggles against good or great teams I mean never win a game when your team doesn’t run for over a 100 yards is not good. That tells me he can’t put a team on his back to win the game
Austen Reid teams will figure Hurts out he will never be elite
Shannon Berry maybe, but he has a really good work ethic and unlike dak he runs the ball and the biggest thing for a quarterback is their poised and decision making
Austen Reid he runs exactly he will get figured out in the NFL he won’t be elite EVER
Shannon Berry we will see I would like to see how he plays this year and judge him their. I judge every quarterback fairly. Before the season I had hurts around 25 and now I have him around 15. And dak I always had him around 15 because of something’s I see that are very alarming that I hope he fix this year.
Robbie McCluredak will never play a super bowl
As Dan Cook would say . ” more words out of the word factory”.
Surpassed him? Hell yes!!
First of all dak didn’t have all the weapons , so I say dak
Richard Perez high tier weapons with mid tier qbs still produce mid tier results. Maybe if your upper management didn’t overpay every half decent player you have on the field
Richard Perez dak has had a pretty decent roster every yr he’s been pro
Richard Perez hurts has had aj brown, devonte Smith, miles sanders, and Dallas goedert. You’re saying that ceedee lamb, Amari Cooper, Dez Bryant, Michael Gallup, Randall Cobb, Ezekiel Elliot, Tony pollard, dalton Schultz, and Jason witten weren’t weapons for dak? You’re insane.
Richard Perez he had amari cooper, ceedee lamb , schultz, elliott, pollard 2 years ago and still did nothing with them. he doesnt know how to read defenses.
Richard Perez that’s cute. You’re actually serious.
Richard Perez delusional. You guys claim better Oline better backs and receivers until their is a comparison. SMH.
Richard Perez you are just a homer. Dak never made it to the Super Bowl. He had Lamb and 2 RB’s most of the year. Stop making excuses. He is a fraud only held up by solid receivers.
Richard Perez what did he do when he did have them???? Nothing!
He surpassed him when he was drafted Prescott sucks
As an Alabama fan I can say he’s legit, but the funny thing is before they got aj brown and built up that eagles d and o they weren’t even sure if he was a starter.
So forgive me if I think this is a bit ludicrous
Zach Donis you don’t know what your talking about lol
Zach Donis so you’re saying before they fixed the offensive line had healthy running backs and more than 1 decent wr he was just struggling in his first season as a starter? That’s crazy
Zach Matheny exactly! After everything they did to help him, he then excelled.
Daks done more with less
But continue
Zach Donis lmao you are not serious. Dak has always had weapons
Zach Matheny his wideouts ranked 50th and 83rd last season behind ceedee. He had one rb1.

Zach Donis lmao he’s had cedee he’s had amari he’s had Schultz zeke pollard. The dude just chokes period. He’s romo 2.0 we’ll look elite against scrubs and scrub against elites
Zach Matheny again he didn’t have amari last year,
3/4 teams who made championship Sunday had two rb1s and two wr1s.
Through seven seasons has the same playoff record as Peyton manning.
Respectfully, you have no idea what your talking about.
Media: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1295011641369612&set=p.1295011641369612&type=3
Zach Donis lmao jr got all the excuses in the world. He’s had a prime zeke cedee amari and Schultz and did absolutely nothing with it.
Zach Donis which 2 rb1s did Philly and cincy have? Which 2 wr/RB 1s did KC have? The only one that fits that parameter is SF. Try again
Zach Matheny ceedee was not prime, and zekes hasn’t been “peek” in years. They have never had both sides of the ball be as completely balanced as the eagles niners chiefs bengals had last year.
His offensive line was last in qb% pass pressure and 30th in qb pass block own rate.
And yet still with all of those inefficiencies he was able to put up big time numbers.

Zach Donis awkward when you realize Jalen was undefeated against plus 500 teams in the regular season and 8-1 including post season try again. Dak also led the league in picks and missed what 5 games?
Zach Donis and how much against the saints lol? A blind squirrel finds a nut occasionally. Bro dak is ass everyone knows it
Zach Donis what’s he done in the post season? Cool dak occasionally has a good game against a good team. How’s that translated to winning when it matters?
Zach Matheny Peyton had the same playoff record through seven seasons.
To pretend he “chokes” is a weak defense.
Zach Donis you did not just compare dak to Peyton manning lmao I’m done. Absolute homer
Zach Donis 2 time Super Bowl champ? Lol Tom Brady wasn’t great either. You’re trying to compare what dak will never do to what the greats did. Dak is fringe top 10 Jalen is cemented as top 2 or 3 depending on who you ask
Zach Matheny cemented based on what? Losing to the chiefs with a better team? He was outplayed, because that never happened to dak
Media: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1295028451367931&set=p.1295028451367931&type=3
Zach Donis he was outplayed? Hahahahahahahahahaha
Zach Donis sure the defense played like ass but no one even chiefs fans deny Jalen hurts was far and away the best player on that field
Zach Matheny yeah 3tds is less than 1
Zach Donis oooooh someone doesn’t wanna account for all the yards and all the tds that’s cute. Have fun getting bounced in the wild card again. I’ve had enough fun at the expense of the disabled lmao
Zach Donis check total yards and tds in that Super Bowl cupcake
Zach Matheny with a fumble lost, by your own measurements he choked correct?
Zach Donis oh the facemask? Ya I’d probably drop the ball too. Poor guy can’t come to grasps thst Jalen and the eagles are gonna be annual contenders for a chip while Dallas will be annual wild card round contenders. You’ll get through it. Jalen is your new daddy
Zach Donis check Daks conference title and Super Bowl stats let me know when you find them. Nothing else to say until you find them lmao
Zach Matheny same number of titles too lmao
Zach Donis no no I wanna hear Daks stats in those 2 games
Zach Donis did they throw multiple picks? Cmon what’s his stats until you got those answers sit down junior
Zach Matheny as soon as you tell me how many more chips he has jUnIoR
Zach Donis yes I yawn at an nfc title because it ain’t enough but it’s still more than dak has accomplished
Zach Donis more thank dak
Rafael Sifuentes it’s analytical but that’s okay it can be challenging to some
Zach Donis lmao analytics, good excuses for a lazy sport. Soccer is a better analytical sport
Zach Donis you mean after one year they got AJ and confidence? A whole year? Wow that’s rough.
Ryan Jordan an entire supporting cast just like Purdy fell into? Yeah that same one. And it was a couple years.
Zach Donis he wins!
Walter Braithwaite exactly!!

A Super Bowl appearance indicates that he (Hurts) has…..they/team both had the same opportunities in the post season.
Yes he has Surpassed Dak the Eagles are better than Cowboys anyway!
Raymond Grant fact
Yes he has. He plays much better in clutch situations.
Dak is still hurts daddy until he beats Dak head to head.
Channah Polis another Fraud cowgirl fan
Michael Grosso why you trollin Dallas pages? I don’t troll dumb ass eagles pages. Go away little man.
So what part of Texas you from
Your the Fraud
Of course he has
Yes
That’s funny. He has always been a better qb than dak thw quack!
Hurts needs to duplicate last year’s success to prove he’s elite.. then I can say he is that talented
Mike Pineda exactly. With all that talent around him and that easy schedule as well as being the healthiest team all year….of course they did better than Dallas
Channah Polis you say that like the cowboys didn’t have a nearly identical schedule lol. And since when is Dak Prescott not surrounded by talented players?
Sam Fearnside one receiver is much worse than having two badass ones. Hurts o line was solid most of the year. Dallas o line was in constant rotation. Tell me how that’s the same? Hurts was surrounded with talent at every corner!! And ALMOST identical is key. Use your brain dude. A chick is smarter than you at football. Doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know this shit. Go away
Mike Pineda are you trying to say dak is elite??? The question is whose better… hurts or dak
Channah Polis almost is in no way “the key” their schedules were identical outside of three games lol. Dak also threw the most pics in the league yet still managed to finish 12-5 that doesn’t happen withous substantial talent around him.
Channah Polis everything I don’t like is due to lack of talent! You’re funny
Channah Polis the idea that Dak Prescott somehow carried the team to 12-5 is legit bonkers lol.
Sam Fearnside facts. Bouncing off browns chest numerous times is a receiver issue. Dallas had one damn good receiver. They’ll have two this year if they stay healthy. And moore is gone. He called some dumb ass plays.
Sam Fearnside until hurts beats Dak head to head…go away
Channah Polis idk why you keep going to that lol. Josh Allen has never beaten Carson Wentz in a head to head game. Obviously that’s a pretty dumb way to evaluate qb’s lol.
Sam Fearnside not really. Same damn division and play twice a year.
Channah Polis they’ve only met head to head 3 times so far…and all 3 of Dak’s wins over a hurts led team were while the eagles were rebuilding. You’re argument makes no sense no matter how you look at it
Channah Polis lol, so when Dak throws interceptions it’s bc of a lack of talent around him but when hurts loses to the cowboys it’s bc Dak is amazing? Good to know!
As a cowboy fan that’s not a high bar
Dan Barton he’s already had more success in 2 seasons, please explain.
Dak is struggling. Hurts is the better QB right now. He has the better team around him. Better players, coaching staff, much better GM and much better ownership.
Kyle Gardiner no you explain how many NFC championships has he won
Yes
Why sure
Dan Barton yooooo relax, I’m on team Jalen here. Looks like you are too
Hurts has the right mindset and attitude to always be better than Dak.
Yep. Once Dak fractured his uterus a couple years back, and his girlfriend left him, he has become an interception machine
No overreaction..We have a long bad novel written by Dak..he has failed in pressure games
Bryce Douglas Hamilton The choker!
Yes, he really has
Of course he has….
Yea dak is a bust and is a fraud the cowboys franchise is a fraud
neither will win a superbowl though so doesnt really mean much
Jalen is, thusfar, serious injury free. Let’s see how durable he remains given the history of Dak, Burrow, Lamar, Jimmy G & others. Injuries & recoveries are real measuring criteria in the NFL. Hopefully, Jalen remains healthy, but it certaily isn’t the norm.
Bob Ray injury free he’s been hurt his first two years as a starter wtf u talking about
Loso Twotimez I’m talking about no loss of seasonal playing time for surgical procedures.
Bob Ray regardless of injuries, he is much better.
Let’s just say the bar isn’t set very high so no real debate…lol
Absolutely he has plus other QB,S in the nfc have passed dak. You must remember, dak isn’t that good
Difference is eagles have surrounded hurts with talent on all sides of the ball and played to his strengths while cowboys have not played to his strengths
Mike Bonser actually they have not. As defense has been weak until last 2 yrs. And last yr our offense had not high caliber of talent at wide receiver and injuries to the oline.
Thomas S Ledbetter Moore tried to make Dak a Mahomes type of player qnd he’s not that. You have toblet dak run the ball and play action that where dak thrives. Same as Hurts. Like how eagles fans shit ok Dak but we kind of git the same guy qt QB. Dak is a better pure passer of the ball qnd Hurts is more of q pure runner of the football.
Luther Moore I agree
Just love one another that’s what Jesus love
