Dak Prescott threw four touchdown passes in Dallas’s 37-20 win over Washington, and number 249 officially moved him past Tony Romo for the most touchdown passes in Cowboys history. Combine that with the franchise records he already holds for passing yards and completions, and Prescott has now climbed every major statistical peak in team history.
The ring count is where this gets complicated. Troy Aikman won three Super Bowls, Roger Staubach won two, and Prescott sits at 2-5 in the playoffs with no NFC Championship Game appearances. The writer who once argued Romo was the greatest Cowboy quarterback changed his answer to Aikman, pointing out that three rings carry more weight than any pile of numbers until Prescott leads Dallas deep into January.
Around Lawton, this debate plays out everywhere from Fort Sill to the Wichita Mountains, and it never really ends. Maybe that’s the best part. Championships are the standard in Dallas, and Prescott now has all the stats he needs to make his case. One playoff run would finish the argument, and Cowboys fans across Comanche County would love to see it.
