There’s been a lot of air time spent and ink spilled over the supposed issues quarterback Dak Prescott has had over the course of the 2023 preseason. Prescott had a big uptick in interceptions last season, including the last time folks saw him in competitive action against the San Francisco 49ers in the Cowboys’ final game of the 2022 playoffs. Prescott tossed two interceptions, one his fault, and had another interceptible pass while the offense struggled to do much of anything.
Adding onto his 15 interceptions in 12 games with a lackluster group of targets, the narrative picked up when national media did what they do. Talking Dallas warrants attention and talking bad about the Cowboys brings monumental ratings. So when Prescott tossed a couple interceptions early in training camp, it was easy for the vultures who can’t draw an audience without being sensationalistic seized on the opportunity to throw dirt. But the reality is, Prescott had a great camp and the folks that matter in the organization love having him.
