Jared Goff vs. Dak Prescott

Prescott went 134 picks after the Rams drafted Jared Goff first overall in 2016, but the two have had very similar careers. Prescott has actually played in 10 more games than Goff and has seven more wins, 1,500 more total yards and 25 more total touchdowns.

Though Goff has a better playoff record (2-2 vs. Prescott’s 1-2) and a Super Bowl appearance, Prescott has superior stats overall. The two only played each other once in their career’s and Prescott’s Cowboys won in a big 44-21 showdown that featured a better outing from Prescott but an even better rushing attack by Dallas.
