Cowboys Shouldn’t Worry That Dak Prescott Will Turn Into Robert Griffin III

There is a hope, and I put an emphasis on hope, among many NFL fans that Dak Prescott will go the way of former Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III. On the surface the comparison has some logic behind it. Both were rookie quarterbacks who led their teams to unexpected division titles and made the Pro Bowl in just their first season. Both did so with the benefit of a very strong running game (Alfred Morris broke the Redskins single-season rushing record in 2012), both were dangerous dual-threat quarterbacks, both did a great job of limiting turnovers as rookies, and both became darlings of the league in a very short period, anointed as the “future” of two historic NFC East franchises.
