Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has benefited greatly from having some of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFL play for his organization over the years. However, according to Jones himself, Dak Prescott has one specific quality better than the rest of the greats at this position that he has worked with.
Prescott is in the midst of another excellent season in 2025, leading the most efficient offense in all of football through the first five weeks, as the Cowboys currently have the most yards per game of any team in the NFL.
This becomes even more impressive when you consider the obstacles that Prescott has had to overcome this season. Notably, star wide receiver CeeDee Lamb has missed a significant portion of the season due to an ankle injury. Additionally, the majority of the Cowboys' starting offensive line has missed time due to injury.

Speaking to Prescott's excellent season during an appearance on 105.3 The Fan, a radio station in Dallas, Jones praised Prescott's abilities as a leader, calling him the best leader that he has been around in his 36 years as an owner.
“He’s the best, frankly, that I think I’ve ever been around," said Jones of Prescott. "I think he’s the reason why we all have a chance to be optimistic about this season.”

Considering the fact that Jones obviously worked closely with the likes of Tony Romo and Hall of Fame quarterback Troy Aikman, this statement certainly holds plenty of weight.
While Prescott may not have achieved the heights that Aikman did in terms of team success, he has also never been put in the ideal situation that Aikman was in throughout most of his career in Dallas.
One could argue that Prescott has done more with less in Dallas than any quarterback in the history of the organization. This season alone proves that Prescott is capable of leading a very flawed team to victories, as the Cowboys' defense ranks dead last in yards allowed per game thus far in 2025.
Will Prescott be able to continue his impressive play moving forward? Only time will tell. Regardless, Prescott clearly has the full support of Jerry Jones in his corner, which certainly has to be a good feeling for the three-time Pro Bowler.
