Jerry Jones, the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, has compared his team’s quarterback, Dak Prescott, to Tom Brady, the recently-retired quarterback who many consider the best in the game. Jones has made this comparison at least three times in the last four years. Fans are roasting Jones for this comparison, as they cannot see the logic in his argument.
Jones has explained that he sees similarities between Prescott and Brady when it comes to their focus on the nuances of the game. He also believes that Prescott’s career path is similar to Brady’s. Jones has said that he thinks Prescott has the ability to get better and become more impactful in how they win as he progresses in his career.
Fans’ Reactions to Jones’ Comparison
Fans have expressed their disbelief at Jones’ comparison between Prescott and Brady. Many feel that Prescott is nowhere near the level of Brady and that the comparison is unwarranted. Some have even gone as far as to call it ridiculous. Others have pointed out that Prescott has yet to win a Super Bowl, unlike Brady who has won seven.

Tim Brady improving in his late career??? Umm he had 3 Championship rings in his first 5 years! Didn’t have to improve any

First, Jerry should see "on the field" it's time to let go off Zeke. Secondly, the problem is Jerry acts like Dak is this young QB, he thinks he's been playing 5 or 6 years. Dak is in his prime and leading the league picks, when did Brady do that? Be real.

Supporting Cast for Prescott
Jones has also explained that it has become more difficult to surround Prescott with the same quality of teammates he had earlier in his career. He pointed out that when teams invest heavily in a quarterback, it automatically diminishes the supporting cast. As a result, it would be hard to get the same supporting cast around Prescott as when he first started his career.
Cowboys’ Plans for Prescott
Despite seeming to throw Prescott under the bus after their loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Divisional Round, both Jones and the Cowboys’ Twitter accounts have made it clear that Prescott is their man.
Jerry Jones’ comparison of Dak Prescott to Tom Brady has not gone down well with fans. They have expressed their disbelief and have called the comparison ridiculous. Jones has explained that he sees similarities between Prescott and Brady when it comes to their focus on the nuances of the game.
He also believes that Prescott’s career path is similar to Brady’s. Fans will have to wait and see whether Prescott can live up to Jones’ expectations and become more impactful in how they win as he progresses in his career.
