Even though Dak Prescott had a very strong regular season with the Dallas Cowboys this season, he once again failed to lead the team to a long postseason run as he threw two interceptions in a blowout loss to the Green Bay Packers. But despite the struggles in the postseason, it sounds like the Cowboys intend to keep him on as their quarterback.
This week, the Dallas Cowboys announced that head coach Mike McCarthy would remain the team’s head coach. And this week, he made it very clear that Dak Prescott will remain with the team next season, calling him “part of the solution.”
“I have unbelievable belief in Dak,” McCarthy said according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. “I think he clearly has another step. I think this offense has suited him well. It’s a system built around making the quarterback successful. The growth opportunity that we both see for the future is something that we are excited about. A big part of the conversation [the two had this week] was the disappointment. We talked about the particulars of the game and things that went wrong and how we can improve it.
“I believe in Dak Prescott. I think he’s clearly the answer. He’s part of the solution moving forward. I think as difficult as this time is right now, we can work through this emotional period that we’re in. We’ll continue to build off of what he brings to the table.”
Cowboys fans might have wanted a change at quarterback, but Prescott will be back next season.
