The Dallas Cowboys have continuously disappointed when it matters most in the postseason. But despite this, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones appears to be quite content with his current situation. Especially when it comes to star quarterback Dak Prescott.
Prescott is coming off perhaps his best statistical season to date, throwing for 4,516 yards along with 36 touchdowns and only nine interceptions.
Unfortunately, when it came to his postseason appearance, his performance left a lot to be desired. Despite throwing for 403 yards in the Wild Card Round against the Green Bay Packers, he had a number of costly turnovers that got the Cowboys into a hole that they couldn’t crawl out of.
The regular season play from Prescott speaks for itself. But so do the postseason struggles. With everything under consideration, Jerry Jones still believes in Prescott as the future quarterback of the team.
“We think he’s a great quarterback. That is really the gist of what we’re about this year. We’ve got Dak,” Jones said via Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram transcribed by Pro Football Talk. “I think Dak will be at the top of his game. I’ve said that I do think he will improve from where he is now. I think we’ll have that.”
Prescott is notably in the midst of contract extension negotiations with the team. And this comment from Jones very clearly shows that the team is fully committed to keeping Prescott around long-term.
Will the Cowboys sticking with Prescott end up being the right move? Only time will tell, but it sure seems like this is the direction that Jerry Jones wants to go in.
