The Cowboys are gearing up for another season with quarterback Dak Prescott at the helm. Despite his impressive regular season record, he has yet to lead the team to a Super Bowl victory. Prescott’s postseason record stands at 2-5, leaving him struggling to advance past the divisional round.
Prescott is not alone in this struggle. He joins the ranks of other celebrated Cowboys quarterbacks such as Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman, who secured Super Bowl wins for the team. However, there are others in Dallas history like Don Meredith, Danny White, and Tony Romo who did not achieve this feat.
Despite his struggles on the field, former Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman still believes in Prescott’s potential to succeed. Drawing a comparison to Peyton Manning’s early career, Aikman highlights how Manning faced similar criticism before ultimately achieving success. Manning did not win his first playoff game until his sixth season, later going on to win his first Super Bowl in his ninth season.
Prescott faces uncertainty as he approaches the final year of his contract with the Cowboys. Although the team remains optimistic about reaching a long-term agreement with him, there are no assurances of his future with the team. His no-trade and no-tag clauses leave his long-term status with the Cowboys up in the air.
Until a deal is finalized, questions linger regarding Prescott’s ability to lead the Cowboys to a Super Bowl victory. With such a talented roster and strong coaching staff, many fans believe that it is only a matter of time before Prescott achieves this elusive goal.
