The dude, a fourth round draft pick, playing in his third game in the NFL, just moved the ball steadily down the field a few times against the best first-string defense in the country. That's not pressure? He was getting hit too, and he got back up and kept slinging it. All the naysayers (not you, kearly, but some talking heads I heard this morning), be like "It won't always be this easy, wait till he has pressure." I don't know about you, but I consider playing for your job on national TV against the greatest defense in the country to be neither easy nor without pressure. The kid is special and I hope the Cowboys stupidly trade him so that I can openly pull for him. Seriously, anywhere but with the Cowboys will do.
Prescott has poise and accuracy. Behind that line, he is a star in the making. However, he also made some rookie decisions that he got away with (he had 2-3 passes that should have been picked, including his TD). He also had ALL-DAY to throw on 3rd and long consistently in the first half. In the second half the Cowboys swapped out their starters on the OL and Prescott looked ineffective. Even with all that protection, he still finished the game with only about 5 yards per attempt. It was a crap ton of dinking and dunking.
He passes the eyeball test no doubt and is one of the most impressive rookie QBs in years. But there are definitely flaws to be found.
