Jerry Jones: Dak Prescott 'The Best' Cowboys Have 'Ever Seen' at Making Adjustments

Adam WellsSep 19, 2023

For a franchise that has had multiple Hall-of-Fame quarterbacks, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones believes there's something Dak Prescott does that's better than all of them.

During his weekly radio appearance with Shan & RJ on Audacy's 105.3 The Fan (starts at 10:45 mark), Jones said Prescott is "the best" the Cowboys have "ever seen" at being able to make adjustments to fit the style of offense they want to play.

Jones was responding to a question about why the Cowboys felt the need to make schematic changes to the offense after he previously praised Prescott's ability to avoid turnovers.

Much of the discussion around the Cowboys this offseason involved Prescott's interception total from 2022 and the departure of offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.

Prescott tied for the NFL lead with 15 interceptions in just 12 starts last season. Moore and the Cowboys agreed to a mutual parting of ways soon after their 19-12 playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

Head coach Mike McCarthy has taken over play-calling duties for the offense. It's the first time he's done that since his final season with the Green Bay Packers in 2018.

Along with schematic changes the Cowboys have implemented, they also brought in players to open things up in the passing game. Wide receiver Brandin Cooks was acquired from the Houston Texans to add more speed on the outside.

The Cowboys haven't really had to showcase much through its first two games against the New York Giants and New York Jets. They outscored those teams by a combined score of 70-10.

Prescott did get away with a bad pass in Sunday's game that hit Sauce Gardner in the hands and could have been returned for a touchdown, but the Jets star dropped the ball to keep Dallas' offense on the field.

The Cowboys wound up finishing that drive with a touchdown and two-point conversion to take an 18-7 lead. They are off to a 2-0 start for the first time since 2019.

Prescott has completed 44 of 62 attempts (71.0 percent) for 398 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions through two games. He didn't have any two-game stretch last season without throwing at least one interception.
