Despite leading the league in touchdown passes last season and finishing as the runner-up in MVP voting, Dak Prescott has once again found himself at the center of controversy. A recent CBS Sports ranking labeled him as one of the NFL’s most "overrated" quarterbacks — a take that has sparked heated reactions across the league.

Prescott’s 2023 campaign was arguably his best. He threw for 4,516 yards, posted a 105.9 passer rating, and tossed 36 touchdowns — more than Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen. He also led the Cowboys to a 12–5 record and a division title. Yet, somehow, questions about his value continue to swirl.

Some analysts argue that the Cowboys’ early playoff exits weigh heavily on Prescott’s legacy. But when held up against the numbers, the criticism doesn’t always stick. Prescott ranked top 3 in QBR and had the lowest interception percentage of any starting QB in the NFC.

“It’s easy to throw labels around,” said one NFC scout. “But calling him overrated while ignoring the tape and the stats — that’s lazy analysis.” Prescott’s consistency, leadership, and command of the offense have kept Dallas among the NFC’s elite since 2016.
