How The 2025 Season Could Be Franchise-Altering For Cowboys' Dak Prescott

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott will enter the 2025 season with a target placed firmly on his back.

Fighting a narrative of being consistently sidelined (only two full seasons in the last five years) and his failures in the playoffs, Prescott has it all to do to try to end those narratives.

Now, I'm a glass-half-full type of person, and when looking at Dak's body of work, yeah, it's solid, but as most will attest to, the playoff failures are what most people cling to.

But Prescott has the chance to do something that, while unlikely, if he were to pull it off, might be the biggest and best achievement.

As Dak enters Year 10, there are a few things he could accomplish that would solidify his standing in Cowboys history, and despite all of the hate he receives, it would quieten them all down.

What am I talking about? Let's get to it.

As things stand, Dak needs just 2,747 passing yards to be the all-time franchise leader, 36 touchdowns to overtake Tony Romo as the all-time leader, and 19 wins to be the franchise leader in that too.

Now, the wins won't happen, that will likely take place next season, but Dak has thrown 36 touchdowns in a year before (twice, other was 37 in 2021), and it would likely mean the Cowboys win a lot of games (Dallas won 11 and 12 games in his two years of 36+ touchdowns).

So there is a chance that Prescott, by the end of the 2025 season, will be Dallas' all-time leader in yards and touchdowns and could be a few wins shy of having that record too (thanks to a deep playoff run).

If he is to have a season many think he is capable of, he could also break the playoff drought, winning more than one game in the postseason.

Yes, it is a little outlandish, but Prescott, over the next 18 months, is on track to be the franchise leader in all key stats, overtaking Romo, Troy Aikman, and Roger Staubach.

The only thing missing would be a Super Bowl to tie it all together.
