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.

Jalen Hurts' Strengths

- 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.

Or
Unless you prefer QB's that play their best at the highest level in the NFL as well.
Jalen Hurts averages more TD's per game than any other QB in the modern era (this century) in where the QB has appeared in at least 2+ Super Bowls.
"OH BUT TOTAL TOUCHDOWNS HAHA"
6th all time in QB Rating in the Super Bowl, of ALL QBS ALL TIME
Right behind a guy some/me might say "average regular season QB, great playoff QB" Troy Aikman
Dak is very good in the regular season though for sure.
So you could’ve said everything you said, but then you have to add in the little last line right?
We can try to have a conversation, but then you’ve always gotta throw in a little jab, right?
OK.
When I'm responding to, "Unless you like your QB to play QB...." verbatim, literally when the QB just won the Super Bowl and Super Bowl MVP.
Yeah, I kinda got to...
And its the dichotomy of the viewed differences of each QB
Each have finished 2nd in MVP voting.
Dak is a better regular season QB, statistically/awards speaking.
Hurts is a better postseason QB, statistically/awards speaking.
And this is in response to a guy calling the Super Bowl MVP a running back still. I don't hav
