Eagles Legend Reveals Why Dak Prescott’s Cowboys Future Is Safe Despite Bold Arch Manning Prediction by Ex-NFL MVP

The Dallas Cowboys have not won a title this century. For the team that proudly boasts itself as America’s Team, the results haven’t exactly told the same story. But, in recent years, the blame for their failure has boiled down to one reason for most folks: Dak Prescott.

After a few less-than-ideal showings in the playoffs, Prescott has become the subject of intense scrutiny, especially after securing a contract that made him the highest-paid QB in NFL history. As a result, a former MVP proclaimed that the 2024 season was a make-or-break year for the Cowboys star. But a legend from the Philadelphia Eagles isn’t buying it.

Could This Be the Last Time Dak Prescott Suits Up for the Dallas Cowboys?

Cam Newton, while not playing a long time in the NFL, had a tremendous impact on the Carolina Panthers franchise. Winning league MVP and leading them to a Super Bowl appearance, he had one of the most stunning starts to a career.

Recently, he asserted that Prescott’s future in Dallas could be in jeopardy, especially with Arch Manning in the pipeline. “If Dak doesn’t deliver this year, his time in Dallas is over.” With owner and general manager Jerry Jones’ attention-seeking habits, a Manning wearing a Cowboys jersey would be the ideal solution.

But for LeSean McCoy, that can’t be the case. Even though he agrees with Newton’s overall point, the running back turned analyst couldn’t see Prescott’s tenure in Dallas ending for one simple reason.

“The same thing Cam is saying, I’ve been saying for a while,” he revealed during the latest taping of The Facility on FS1. “After they lost to the [San Francisco 49ers] at home, I said I don’t know if Dak’s the guy.”

However, Jones persisted with him as the quarterback. McCoy made similar arguments in the following years, when the Cowboys melted down against San Francisco right up to the 2024 season. And then, in arguably Prescott’s worst game of his career, against the Green Bay Packers.

McCoy doubled down on his stance, saying, “I say the same thing, and he’s still there. Cam, I see what you’re saying, but for Dak Prescott, for some reason, he’s the only guy that gets away with these things.”

In his career, Prescott has made three Pro Bowl teams, an All-Pro selection, and led the league in passing touchdowns once. He’s led the Cowboys to five playoff appearances over a nine-year career, with injuries costing him a playoff spot in two instances.

But the difference in production from Prescott is astounding. His completion percentage drops from 66.8 to 64.5, while his touchdowns-to-interception ratio rises from nearly 2.6 to 2.0. But most tellingly, his passer rating goes from 98.1 to 91.8.

With the playoff meltdowns piling up, it might not be long before Jones decides to finally move in a different direction. But as a former two-time Super Bowl champion pointed out, that has been the consensus for quite some time now.
