Dak Prescott
Prescott burst onto the scene as the Dallas Cowboys starter as a fourth-round rookie in 2016. He was great right away, one of the most successful rookie quarterbacks of all-time.
Prescott fell off considerably in his second season. Most notable was the loss of downfield accuracy. He also threw more than three times as many INTs and one less total TD.
| Record | Comp. % | TD/INT | QB Rating | |
| 1st year | 13-3 | 67.8 | 23/4 | 104.9 |
| 2nd year | 9-7 | 62.9 | 22/13 | 86.6 |
In the two seasons since, Prescott hasn’t quite regained his rookie magic. But he’s been consistently better in 2018-2019 than he was in his second season. Prescott threw for a career-high 4,902 yards and 30 TDs in 2019, though mistakes around him cost Dallas dearly in an 8-8 season. There’s only so much credit — and blame — to put on any quarterback.
