Dak Prescott has been a major talking point for the Dallas Cowboys in the offseason and his position as the long-term project looks unprecedented.
The Dallas Cowboys have seemingly put their foot down with their signal-caller after a devastating loss to the Green Bay Packers at home.
Dak Prescott is entering the final year of the four-year deal he signed in 2021 and owner Jerry Jones is not jumping to an extension.
Despite finishing runner-up to Lamar Jackson as MVP, fans have highlighted their frustration with the QB in the postseason.
Dak Prescott’s latest playoff disaster has put his Dallas future in doubt
A horror show in the first half against the Packers, saw him throw two interceptions with one returned for a touchdown.
However, the problems stretch back further, underlining Cowboys Nation’s deep-rooted anger.
Prescott has a 2-5 postseason record through eight starts as the Dallas veteran QB, with the Divisional round being the furthest he has ventured.
Moreover, Prescott feels the wrath of the Cowboys, with the franchise being absent from the NFC Championship for close to three decades.
CBS makes the bold comparison between Patrick Mahomes and Prescott
On the NFL on CBS’ X account, they posted the stats of Prescott and three-time Super Bowl winner Patrick Mahomes through their last 50 starts.
Prescott outperformed Mahomes in the categories: of interceptions, passer rating, yards per attempt, and completion percentage.
They were all tied up on passing touchdowns with 105 and Mahomes boasted a greater win record by three victories.
Furious NFL fans share their thoughts about the comparative post on X
Furthermore, the idea of comparisons between the two signal-callers has sparked a fiery reaction from NFL fans around the league.
@0nlyMeez stated: “This is one of those times when the stats mean nothing at all. Even if the stats were in favor for Dak by a mile I would never allow anyone to compare the two. It’s no conversation at all.”
Dallas Cowboys fan @eadyIofficial said: “Can we please stop this? One Quarterback here has won multiple Super Bowls while the other is 2-5 in the postseason with zero Conference Championship Appearances. Dak is good Quarterback but he is nowhere near on the same level as Patrick Mahomes no matter what those stats say.”
Several fans referenced the lack of talent Mahomes has when comparing the rosters for both teams.
@treyjustice posted: “Mahomes has no WR. One good TE. He also has multiple rings. Dak hasn’t gotten past the dang wild card. Not comparable.”
@conservative804 highlighted: “Mahomes has less talent around him, and also has the championships. It’s not even close.”
@WhoDey311 claimed: “One player is one of the best we have ever seen under pressure. The other one wets the bed under pressure.”
Dak Prescott does not boast the same playoff success that Mahomes does
The target audience did not welcome the post on X with open arms, with the overwhelming consensus taking Mahomes in a heartbeat.
Dak Prescott’s biggest issue is in the regular season, he is a top-of-the-market QB but has failed to showcase his ability in the postseason.
Mahomes has demonstrated his talent on the biggest stage on three occasions, with Super Bowl MVPs when victorious.
The tale of the tape is Prescott urgently needs to find postseason success or he could be making a hasty exit from Dallas.
