Speaking on The Herd with Colin Cowherd, Colin Cowherd recently claimed that Dak Prescott has been coddled throughout his career. The statement from Cowherd came after Cowboys fans were upset with Steve Young, who said that Prescott needs to learn from backup quarterback Cooper Rush (Rush has been impressive in Prescott’s absence). Here’s what Cowherd said:
He added:
Cowherd continued:
Like it or not, the stats are extremely similar. There is a 0.4 difference in completion percentage, a 2.3 yards difference in average yards per game and a 0.1 difference in career passer rating. See the tweet below:
There is no denying that Kirk Cousins has been continuously criticized while being a quarterback who regularly puts up good numbers. With new head coach Kevin O’Connell, it will be interesting to see where this Vikings team ends up this season.
Dallas Cowboys could be in a good position when Dak Prescott returns from injury
Dak Prescott injured his thumb in the Cowboys’ season opener against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He is expected to make a return by Week 7, maybe earlier, if everything goes well. The Cowboys are currently 1-1. They will likely face the New York Giants, Washington Commanders, Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles without Prescott.
All these games will be tough, but backup quarterback Cooper Rush has impressed everyone so far. In their Week 2 win against the Cincinnati Bengals, Rush threw for 235 yards and a touchdown. If the Cowboys manage to squeak out wins against the Giants and the Commanders, then they will be in a good position when Dak Prescott returns.
The road ahead is tough for the Cowboys, but they can only hope for the best until their franchise quarterback is healthy and ready to go.
