Dallas Cowboys’ Bold Predictions – Dak Prescott Takes A Step Back

The Dallas Cowboys have done a lot of winning with Dak Prescott as their quarterback but have yet to advance beyond the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Expectations for Prescott will be higher this season as Dallas’ offensive line got a bit worse last season and the running game will have a different look with Ezekiel Elliott gone and Tony Pollard coming off of an injury.

In order for the Cowboys to have a successful season, and by their standards it will have to involve at least reaching the NFC Championship Game, Prescott will have to carry them there with the way the roster is currently constructed. It doesn’t seem, however, like Prescott has the right supporting cast around him to succeed.

Brandin Cooks was the only notable addition at receiver to a group that struggled to produce outside of CeeDee Lamb, who is a bona fide superstar at the position. The loss of Dalton Schultz will also hurt Prescott, who had a good rapport with the tight end, and expecting rookie Luke Schoonmaker to contribute right away may be a tall order.

Prescott has struggled as a passer of late, throwing 29 interceptions in his last 33 starts, and he hasn’t proven to be the type of quarterback to elevate the players around him to success. Playing in the weaker NFC will help but Prescott will have a difficult time getting Dallas where they want to go with a weakened supporting cast.
