Dallas Cowboys’ Jerry Jones raves about Dak Prescott’s leadership | Pro Football Talk | NFL on NBC

WEDNESDAY EDITION OF PFT LIVE DAK PRESCOTT, COWBOYS QUARTERBACK. WE TALKED DAK PRESCOTT HAS 21 PASSING TOUCHDOWNS THIS IN THE NFL HE’S HAD NOW 41 GAMES WITH 3 OR MORE TOUCHDOWN PASSES. THAT’S THE MOST IN FRANCHISE HISTORY HE BROKE THE RECORD HELD BY TONY ROMO AND HIMSELF ON MONDAY NIGHT SECOND IN PASSING OFFENSE IN THE NFL THIRD. IN TOTAL OFFENSE 378.7 YARDS PER GAME. AND BY THE WAY, DAK PRESCOTT IS AT 69.9% COMPLETION. PERCENTAGE. THAT’S A CAREER-HIGH. HE IS PLAYING INCREDIBLY WELL, THIS YEAR, I DON’T KNOW THAT IT’S MVP LEVEL BECAUSE YOU NEED TO HAVE MORE WINS TO BE MVP LEVEL. BUT YOU KNOW WHAT? MAYBE THAT MONDAY NIGHT GAME IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARD THE COWBOYS GOING ON A LATE SEASON RUN. YEAH, MAYBE I MEAN I I I DON’T COUNT THEM OUT. UH, YET. I DON’T BE BECAUSE OF BECAUSE OF THAT HEY MAYBE THE DEFENSE CAN BE RESPECTABLE ENOUGH YEAH, THEY CAN MAKE A FEW STOPS AND THIS OFFENSE CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT, MAYBE THEY GET TO THAT POINT HERE. AND WE’VE SEEN THE EAGLES AND LIKE WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THE EAGLES, COULD BE A TEAM THAT CAN GO DORMANT ON OFFENSE. SO CAN THEY PULL OFF AN UPSET? I DON’T THINK IT’S CRAZY. I DON’T KNOW IF I’M GOING TO PICK IT. BUT MAN, DAK PRESCOTT AN UNREAL YEAR TO YOUR POINT. MIKE UNREAL. I AND I CAME INTO THE YEAR GOING, MAN. THIS IS ALL THE PRESSURE IS ON DAK PRESCOTT, MAYBE MORE THAN ANY OTHER QUARTERBACK IN THE SPORT. YOU’RE THE HIGHEST PAID GUY, RIGHT? YEAH, THE RESULTS HAVEN’T BEEN THERE NECESSARILY FOR THE TEAM. THEY HAVEN’T WON IN THE PLAYOFFS. HE HASN’T PLAYED HIS BEST IN SOME OF THOSE BIG GAMES THERE. AND THAT, YOU KNOW, WANTS BUT HE’S YEAH, THEY CAN MAKE A FEW MAKES US WANT MORE, BUT HE’S AND SO I I YOU CAN’T REALLY SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I MEAN THEY RUN THE BALL, OKAY? RIGHT. THEY’RE SOLID AT THAT, THE DEFENSE WAS PITIFUL. PITIFUL. AND HERE THEY AT 4:51 AND THAT’S BECAUSE IT’S ALL ON HIS SHOULDERS AND HIS ABILITY TO MAKE BIG PLAYS AND BE A LEADER AND EVERYTHING THERE. SO YEAH, PRESCOTT THE AND DAMN, HE’S PLAYING SOME GOOD FOOTBALL RIGHT NOW. JASON GARRETT, JOINED US AND HE MADE THE POINT THAT PICKENS HAS NEVER HAD A QUARTERBACK, LIKE DAK PRESCOTT’S LEADERSHIP. IF IF THE ISSUES THAT GEORGE PICKENS HAD IN PITTSBURGH WEREN’T EMBELLISHED OR EXAGGERATED OR FABRICATED BY THE STEELERS AND I HAVE NO REASON TO BELIEVE THEY WILL. THE DIFFERENCE IS, THERE WAS NO HIGH-END LEADER AT THE QUARTERBACK POSITION. NO. HIGH-END PERFORMER, RIGHT AT THE QUARTERBACK POSITION. YOU GET GEORGE PICKINGS IN A SPOT WITH THE RIGHT QUARTERBACK. IT ALL CHANGES BECAUSE SOME GUYS AREN’T GOING TO LISTEN TO THE COACH. BUT THEY ARE GOING TO LISTEN TO BECAUSE THE QUARTERBACK’S THE 1, WHO DECIDES WHEN WHERE, AND HOW OFTEN THEY’RE GOING TO GET THE FOOTBALL. THAT’S RIGHT. THINK ABOUT IT. A RECEIVER IS FAR MORE LIKELY TO DEFER TO A QUARTERBACK THAN THE RECEIVER IS TO DEFER TO THE HEAD COACH, RIGHT? WELL, NOBODY WANTS TO BE A JERK TO THEIR TEAMMATE ANYWAYS, FOR THE MOST PART, RIGHT? SO YEAH, YOU’RE YOU’RE RIGHT ABOUT YES, YOU KNOW, THE MOUTH OFF AND AND PISSED THE QUARTERBACK OFF. SORRY LONDON AND EVERYTHING THERE. RIGHT WITH ALL OF THAT. YEAH, YOU’RE A JERK TO THE QUARTERBACK ENOUGH TIME. HE STARTS TO GO, MAN, YOU’RE ANNOYING AND HE ALMOST YOU KNOW, WANTS TO SHUT YOU OUT TO A DEGREE AND THEN AT SOME COACHES. LIKE WHAT THE HECK? WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING HERE. WELL, I MEAN YEAH, HE’S IN 1 WITH A QUARTERBACK THAT HE KNOWS IS GOOD AND WILL FEED THEM THE BALL AND ALSO 2, HE’S LEARNED THROUGH THE YEAR ALREADY. LIKE WE WERE UNLIKE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT WITH THE EAGLES, HE’S GOING THIS GUY’S GOING TO GO TO THE RIGHT PLACE WITH THE BALL. HEY, SO LET ME JUST KEEP DOING MY JOB, LET ME KEEP LEARNING THE OFFENSE, I’LL GET THERE AND THE BALL’S GOING TO COME MY WAY. I WATCH MEETINGS EVERY WEEK. I WATCH THE GAME BACK EVERY MONTH, MONDAY MORNING, DAK PRESCOTT, HE’S PLAYS QUARTERBACK IN THE POCKET. HE READS THE DEFENSE, HE DOESN’T PLAY FAVORITES. HE GOES, HE GOES WITH THE BALL WHERE IT’S SUPPOSED TO GO AND WHERE THE DEFENSE TELLS HIM, AND I THINK THAT ALWAYS CAN MAKE A QUARTER WIDE RECEIVER, FEEL GOOD TOO. WHEN THEY SEE THAT ON A CONSISTENT BASIS, THAT GETS THEM TO STILL PLAY HARD AND RUN ROUTES HARD AND THEY GO IT’S JUST A MATTER OF TIME. THE BALL’S GOING TO COME MY WAY, THEY’RE GOING TO CALL SOME PLAYS FOR ME AND THAT’S WHERE THEY’RE AT NOW. AND THAT’S WHY, YOU KNOW THEY’RE 3 PS IN A POD HIM CD LAND AND AND GEORGE PICKINGS AND JERRY JONES, THE GUY WHO’S RUNNING THE WHOLE SHOW. HE HAS PAINTED HIMSELF INTO A CORNER MULTIPLE TIMES WITH DAK PRESCOTT’S CONTRACT. HE’S CURRENTLY IN A POSITION WHERE PRESCOTT’S NOT GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL AFTER 2027 AT THE EARLIEST HERE IS JONES ON THE PERFORMANCE OF HIS QUARTERBACK AS OF RIGHT NOW. HE IS THE BEST LEADER THAT I’VE BEEN AROUND FOR A TEAM AND PERIOD AND, UH, UH, HE JUST HAS A NATURAL, UH, UH, JUST A NATURAL SENSE. OF WHAT THE SITUATION CALLS FOR HE’S HAD IT SINCE HE WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR, AND HE’S, UH, UH, SO MUCH OF THE GOOD THINGS THAT, UH, HE’S BEEN A PART OF HAD TO DO WITH THAT SKILL RIGHT THERE. BUT, UH, UH, THEN YOU SEE IT, UH, HE BRINGS A CERTAIN CONFIDENCE, UH, OUT THERE AND THEN, YOU KNOW, YOU GOT A GUY THAT UH, BOUGHT, HE CAN HAVE A BAD SERIES, HE CAN HAVE A BAD QUARTER BUT YOU KNOW, YOU GOT A GUY THAT’LL COME OUT THERE AND JUST COMPLETELY ERASE IT FROM HIS MIND AND UH, UH, REALLY BE A, UH, AS AGGRESSIVE AS IT CALLS FOR UH I’M FROM THE GET-GO THIS YEAR. UH, HE’S BEEN OUR STALWART
