Without the tush push, I think it's fair to say there are about 15 better passing QBs than Hurts, if not more.I don't think there is a sane, sober or rational Cowboys' fan alive that would choose Dak over Hurts.
Unless you prefer quarterbacks to play......quarterback
Hurts is a runner behind the best OL and the best collective skill players in the league. OL1, RB1, WR both ranked 5to 15 ish? Godirt is a top 10 TE and blocker Stuff is open because of the skill players. They win despite him being a runner. Stafford, Brady, and yes, even Dak would DEMOLISH Hurts passing numbers.
So no, plenty of sane people would take Dak over Hurts if all things wee equal.
AI Overview
The question of whether Dak Prescott or Jalen Hurts is the better quarterback is subjective, but generally, Dak Prescott is considered a more skilled passer with better pre-snap reads and accuracy, while Jalen Hurts is a more dynamic and mobile player with a higher ceiling, particularly excelling in the postseason and with the read option. Prescott has often had superior regular-season numbers, including better passer rating and completion percentages, but Hurts has a more notable playoff resume, including a Super Bowl appearance.
Dak Prescott's Strengths
Jalen Hurts' Strengths
- Passing Accuracy and Skill:
Prescott is a more polished passer with better overall throwing ability and accuracy.
- Football IQ:
He demonstrates a higher football IQ, good pre-snap reads, and better command of the offense.
- Regular Season Consistency:
Prescott has consistently posted higher passer ratings and completion percentages in the regular season.
- All-Around Playmaker:
He has shown significant growth as a playmaker, manipulating the field and leading his team to wins.
Key Factors to Consider
- Mobility and Explosiveness:
Hurts is a significantly better runner, more dynamic, and more explosive, with a stronger ability to escape the pocket.
- Postseason Success:
He has achieved notable success in the playoffs, including two NFC Championship appearances and one Super Bowl appearance.
- Dynamic Offense:
His mobility and ability to impact the game with his legs make the Eagles' offense more dynamic.
- Playstyle:
Prescott offers a more traditional, pass-first approach, while Hurts brings a more run-pass threat with his feet.
- Supporting Cast:
Both players have had strong supporting casts, which contributes to their overall success.
- Offensive Scheme:
Hurts' success is partly due to his ability to utilize the read option and the "tush push" effectively, which is more a feature of the Eagles' scheme than a unique QB skill.
- Experience and Development:
Prescott has a longer track record as a starter, but Hurts has demonstrated a clear improvement and has a higher ceiling for some analysts
Whatever it is you wan to call him, the rest of the world is calling him Super Bowl MVP today. I'll take that over Dak and his 2.5% INT rate in the playoffs.![]()
You said there isn’t a sane person who would take Dak over Hurts. I’m not sitting here pining for Prescott. I do think he’s far more adept than Hurts when it comes to playing the position of quarterback specifically throwing the ball.
You put Dak on Philly and he throws for 5k and 40 tds EASY.
Again, I can crap all over Hurts and yall can call me a hater or whatever, I’m just callin it how I see it.
Okay, there is ONE person who would select Dak over Hurts.
I think you're on an island of one here but maybe I'm dead wrong.
I believe you said “insane”.
These were my words:
"I don't think there is a sane, sober or rational Cowboys' fan alive that would choose Dak over Hurts."
I don't consider you "insane". Ergo, you are the only Cowboys' fan I'm aware of that would choose Dak over Hurts to Quarterback their team. Maybe I am mistaken but as a Dallas fan, I'd take Jalen every day of the week and twice on Sunday. Why? He's a proven winner. Period.
All your rebuttals are just conjecture. We have no idea what Dak looks like on another team. Nor Jalen. But we do know Jalen outplayed Mahomes in two super bowls, has one MVP while Dak can't make it to the NFC Championship game because he throws the ball to the wrong team at the worst time (not that there is a good time).
The playoff exits to San Francisco (twice) and Green Bay are largely on his shoulders. All Hurts does is win. Curious choice but you do you.
I’m not gonna defend Prescott. My point wan Precott isn’t great and yet he’s still a better quarterback than Hurts.
It’s not that big of a deal as there’s 10 quarterbacks better than Hurts right now.
I am not the biggest Hurts fan, but there isn't 10.qbs better than him. 5 or 6
Lamar, Allen, Daniels, Burrow, Mayfield, Mahomes, Purdy, Goff, Prescott, Love, Herbert, Stroud, Nix, Murray, Lawrence, Maye. Shoot, I think there might be 20 better passing QBs in the league. But yes, his rushing upside and tush push make him a valuable FF QB for sure.
