Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is coming off one of the best seasons of his career in 2025, as he threw for 4,552 yards, 30 TDs and 10 interceptions en route to his fourth Pro Bowl nod.
There is no denying that, based on last season alone, Dak was one of the best quarterbacks in football. Argue with a wall, my friend.
But we are at the stage of the offseason where rankings are being compiled, and for most, we know these are subjective.
However, some lists, like PFF's, used numbers to calculate a player's value and base their ranking on that. Some scoff at it, and others take it at face value.
So when the publication dropped its quarterback rankings for the 2026 season, naturally we were curious as to where Dak ranked.

Part of the criteria was basing the rankings off the last three seasons of play.
And for Prescott, he came in at No. 8, with Justin Herbert (No. 7), Jordan Love (No. 6), Matthew Stafford (No. 5), Patrick Mahomes (No. 4), Lamar Jackson (No. 3), Joe Burrow (No. 2) and Josh Allen (No. 1) ahead of him.
Now, we know with stats that you can use them in any way to enhance your argument, or conversely, they can be tailored to put a negative spin on something.
So, if we base Dak's ranking on the past three seasons, he's ranked sixth in yards (11,046), seventh in completion percentage (67.7), seventh in touchdowns (77), seventh in passer rating (99.4), and is 16th in wins (22).

If we look at those numbers, it is easy to say Dak is a top-10 quarterback, but then by using another stat, Prescott can look anything but.
Over the last three seasons, Dak has a record of 22-19. So slightly above .500. See, numbers can be used in any which to improve your argument if you want them to.
There is no denying that Prescott is a top-10-ish quarterback in football, and being ranked at No. 8 feels like a fair spot to put him based on what we've seen over the past three seasons.
Of course, there will be people who disagree, but then again, Dak always creates conversation both positive and negative, doesn't he?
