Through the 2023 NFL season, the Dallas Cowboys gave the impression to be firing on all cylinders on either side of the soccer, as they’d famous person linebacker Micah Parsons main the cost defensively and star quarterback Dak Prescott having arguably the most effective season of his profession below middle.
In consequence, the Cowboys have been capable of pave their solution to a three-way tie for the most effective file within the NFC at 12-5 and locked up the second seed within the convention heading into the NFL playoffs, which appeared to bode properly for them.
Though Prescott had some subpar performances within the closing weeks of the common season, the veteran was within the NFL MVP dialog and was anticipated to make some noise within the postseason.
Sadly, the exact opposite occurred within the first spherical, with the Cowboys falling aside towards the Inexperienced Bay Packers and getting knocked out a lot sooner than anticipated, a loss that was blamed on Prescott in addition to on head coach Mike McCarthy.
NFL Community’s checklist of the highest 100 gamers within the league is being launched, and Prescott didn’t make the highest 10, which is one thing former NFL participant James Jones disagrees with, based mostly on the QB putting second within the 2023 MVP voting.
“He needs to be within the high 10,” Jones mentioned of Prescott. “10, 9, 8, 7, 6, whichever one y’all wanna put him in.”

If these rankings, that are based mostly on voting by NFL gamers, have been based mostly solely on regular-season performances, then Jones has a case for Prescott making the highest 10.
Nevertheless, epic failure within the playoffs has been the case all through Prescott’s total NFL profession, as he all the time appears to fold when the lights are the brightest, which probably led to him touchdown at No. 16 on this yr’s ballot, which paradoxically is his highest rating ever.
