There was one user who commented, “Stop it Haters, Dak is Amazing!!! You’ll learn to appreciate him when he’s gone smh” declaring their love for the Cowboys‘ quarterback. However, another fan stated their disapproving opinion about Prescott, “I’m a Cowboys fan. And Dak is a very average quarterback. His record is terrible against winning teams that have great Quarterbacks. This is a fact.” Furthermore, there were other fans agreeing with Stephen A Smith’s point of view and said, “normally don’t agree with @stephenasmith biased point of view of the cowboys, but he is 100000% correct on this one.” All the fans were either very staunchly in support of the quarterback or were agreeing with the analyst.

The truth of the matter from a stats point of view is that Dak Prescott has been slightly inconsistent. He has had erratic highs and lows throughout the season this year. However, the Cowboys are very much in the playoff picture. The only question that fans are going to ask is whether Prescott is going to get more consistent or will his numbers keep fluctuating.
