The most headline-creating stories in the NFL are about the Dallas Cowboys and Dak Prescott. His future is what everyone is talking about, and debates are constantly trying to understand what is taking owner Jerry Jones so long to hand him a new contract.

Stephen A. Smith and his colleagues from Sportscenter while discussing this today brought up a Patrick Mahomes comparison. Host Molly Qerim while on First Take, asked which quarterback would they trust to go up against Patrick Mahomes.

 

Naturally, considering that Prescott and his Cowboys haven’t won a playoff game in eight seasons, Stephen A. Smith and the rest of the panel were left dumbfounded. Smith especially had a meme-worthy expression on his face.

All that said, Gary Striewski had a logic behind his pick. He brought up Dak Prescott’s stats over the past 50 games. Those stats showed that the Cowboys quarterback has a slightly better completion percentage and TD-to-Interception ratio compared to Mahomes.

In addition to that, Striewski brought up the Cowboys’ defense. He feels that the defense will be too much for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs. However, this question was for one matchup. So, it seems he disregarded the games they will have to play up until that matchup.

Stephen A. Smith, on the other hand, still sitting with a completely baffled look on his face decided to give his two cents. He had quite the take in his response.

The fact of the matter is that Dak Prescott doesn't even belong in this conversation. You can't have two playoff victories in eight years and be in the same conversation as a 3-time Super Bowl champion when one Super Bowl requires a minimum of 3 post season wins in that season. He hasn't had 3 in eight years.

Stephen A. Smith said

Smith suggested that Dak Prescott isn’t even in the same league as Patrick Mahomes. As he has not done anything remotely good enough to be considered in this discussion. Smith’s point is what has weighed down Prescott’s narrative throughout his career. He plays well in the regular season, then comes up short in the post-season. In last year’s case he had the same all-world defense Striewski mentioned, but still lost to a team with a quarterback playing his first full season.
