Hurts’ meteoric rise gives him the spotlight now, but Dak’s consistency still holds weight over a longer stretch.
Who’s Better Right Now?
If we’re talking “right now,” Jalen Hurts may have the upper hand. He’s younger, more athletic, and has shown he can take a team deep into the postseason. His upside is immense, and he’s surrounded by a team that complements his strengths.
But if you want a steady, proven leader with years of high-level NFL play, Dak Prescott is still a top-tier option. He’s shown resilience, command, and growth — and one strong playoff run could quickly flip the narrative in his favor.
