As they say, everything is bigger in Texas. That couldn’t be more true when it comes to expectations for the Dallas Cowboys, especially their quarterback Dak Prescott. Prescott, set to play in his fifth career postseason game, will be judged by what level of success he has in the postseason regardless of the circumstances.
Fairly or unfairly, Cowboys quarterbacks are judged by what Roger Staubach and Troy Aikman did in the 1970s and 1990s, respectively, when the Hall of Famers combined for five Super Bowl championships. The accomplishments of every Cowboys quarterback since, despite statistical success (or in Danny White’s case, making it to three straight NFC Championship Games), have just not been good enough.
